Apple basically updated every piece of software it makes today, in case you haven’t noticed. Following the release of OS X Lion 10.7.2 with iCloud integration, Aperture and iPhoto for the Mac have also been updated.

Aperture 9.2 and iPhoto 9.2 both bring iCloud integration and iOS 5 compatibility to Apple’s two photography apps.

Besides iCloud and iOS 5 compatibility, Aperture 9.2 includes:

  • Resolves an issue that could cause the “Loading” indicator to reappear in the Viewer when cropping a photo

  • Left and right swipe gestures can now be used to navigate between photos in the Viewer

  • Fixes a problem that could cause Aperture, running on OS X Lion, to quit unexpectedly when using brushes to apply adjustments
  • Loupe now correctly displays magnification levels between 50-100%.
  • Fixes an issue that could cause Aperture, running on OS X Lion, to display the incorrect color profile on externally edited images
  • The Lift & Stamp tool now displays the correct cursor icons when being used in Split View and Viewer only modes

iPhoto 9.2 addresses the following:

  • Left and right swipe gestures can now be used to navigate between photos in Magnify (1-up) view
