VANCOUVER, CANADA — July 2, 2009 — Brushed Pixel Software, Inc. releases Catapult, a plugin for Apple’s Aperture photo management software that allows Aperture users to integrate Adobe Camera Raw or Nikon Capture into their RAW workflows.
Catapult automates the process of exporting RAW files for editing and importing converted JPEG or TIFF files, while stacking the versions together to keep projects organized. To support non-destructive editing, when importing Catapult can archive the associated XMP sidecar file produced by Adobe Camera Raw, or a settings file exported from Nikon Capture. When users edit an imported JPEG/TIFF with Catapult, Catapult will locate and export the original RAW file with the archived settings so users can continue editing where they left off. Read More..
