Epson today announced the Stylus Professional 3800, the latest in their growing line of large-format printers aimed at pro and advanced amateur digital photographers. The $1,295 printer – which should be available in December 2006 – doesn’t replace the $1,995 Stylus Pro 4800, although it should cause a number of potential 4800 buyers to rethink their plans. It also comes at a very good time for Epson, which has been facing new-found competition from HP and Canon in this sector of the market.

Aperture announced a free, major update to Aperture 1.5 today.

For users who’ve been hesitant to try Aperture because of its limited library, version 1.5 should more than address these concerns. In fact, you may find that it offers you workflow possibilities not available in any other app. |
