I will stop selling the TiltShift Aperture Edit Plug-In on December 31, 2011 due to several reasons.
The plug-in API from Aperture has not been updated since version 2.1. Aperture 3 got a completely new redesign and since then there have been a lot of problems reported with TiltShift crashing. The crashes were usually happing due to some computational race conditions between Aperture and TiltShift. The desktop version of TiltShift has been available now since almost a year and even though the code is almost identical, there have hardly been any complains from customers.
Therefore I decided to stop selling the Aperture at the end of the year a while ago.
The plug-in will still be available for download for existing customers. If you consider buying TiltShift now, please choose the desktop version available on the Mac App Store.
I’m a little confused! If I buy the “desktop version” of TiltShift will it work with Aperture 3? I use Aperture 3 to store and edit my Photos.
I would guess only sort of. You would have to export the image & then reimport it. Making it worthless as part of a workflow. The biggest advantage to this application is that it is a plug-in to a tool that I already use.
