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

- Pinch-to-zoom gesture now automatically activates Zoom mode in the Viewer
- Left and right swipe gestures can now be used to navigate between photos in the Viewer
- Microsoft Outlook can now be chosen in Preferences as the application used by Aperture for emailing photos
- 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
- Previously imported photos are now displayed in a separate section of the Import window
- Book/calendar themes and card categories can now be selected using a pop-up menu in the carousel view
