The Universal compatibility and Power Mac

Released on = July 10, 2006, 1:51 am

Press Release Author = Harry Johnson

Industry = Computers

Press Release Summary = The combination of Mac hardware and software has been
exceptionally consistent over the years,

providing an ease of use that Mac users have enjoyed. With a Windows emulator such
as Virtual PC, Macs can also run

Windows and DOS applications. Since the mid 1980s, it has been essentially a Mac vs.
PC world for personal

computers, with Linux-based PCs gaining ground after the millennium.

Mac mini: -
The more recently announced Apple\'s Mac mini has been turning some heads, even in
the PC world. If the iMac G5 is

basically a 1U server attached to a monitor, the Mac mini is basically a reorganized
laptop without a monitor The Mac

mini is especially relevant to this article because a lot of the discussions about
performance with regards to Apple\'s

PowerBook will apply directly to the Mac mini, as the two platforms are very
similarly configured.

OS X Tiger: -
The more I read about OS X Tiger, the more interested I become. The two main
features that draw me to the update are

Apple\'s system-wide, fully indexed search engine, called Spotlight, as well as the
fact that in Tiger, every single pixel on

the screen will actually be rendered by the graphics card. For the most part, in OS
X Panther, all of the rendering work is

done by the CPU, with some GPU accelerated compositing occurring. In Tiger,
everything is done through the pixel

pipelines of your GPU, increasing the dependency on a graphics card with fast memory
access, as well as increasing the

flexibility of some of the effects that you\'re able to do in the OS itself.

Given Tiger\'s reliance on very high GPU performance, I would almost expect Apple to
celebrate its release with a new

G5 platform - with PCI Express graphics. That may be a bit of wishful thinking.

New features included by apple
There are new RAW adjustment controls in the Adjustments Inspector and Adjustments
HUD that improves the quality

of RAW decodes via custom tuning of parameters. Most noticeably, you can control
contrast (using the new Boost tool)

and sharpness, as well as color noise reduction from the RAW decoder.
Apple gave us a new Color Meter tool that quickly and easily samples any area of an
image for RGB, CMYK, or LAB

color values. You can use this as a stand-alone tool or as part of Aperture\'s Loupe
tool. Photoshop users who like to

sample specific color ranges will feel right at home in Aperture due to this new tool.

For those who never felt comfortable with Aperture\'s printing parameters, the new
version has updated image resolution

controls. You can specify output resolution in dots per inch (dpi) when exporting
images or sending images to an external

editor and Aperture 1.1 has increased the maximum size of images displayed in the
Browser. You can resize the display

of images in the Browser up to a maximum of 512 pixels in height or width.



There is an attractive feature included by apple that is Universal Compatibility
that means Aperture 1.1 runs natively on

both Intel-based and PowerPC-based Macintosh computers. I tested it on both an Apple
G5 Dual Core PowerMac with

four gigs of RAM and a new Mac Book Pro 2GHz model with two gigs of RAM. I\'ve seen
Aperture run on a

PowerBook, and there\'s no denying that it runs much quicker on the Mac Book Pro.
