- Aperture 5.0, is a multi-relational database system that has been designed
- with the Stock, Assignment and Freelance photographer in mind. It was written
- by stock and assignments photographers. You will find many of the everyday
- forms and reports needed to run a successful business. With many advanced
- features it is a valued tool for all photographers, professionals and hobbist
- alike. Aperture has the ability to catalog your slides and photographs, track
- submissions, keep you in contact with your clients and much more!
-
- The first edition was released in January 1990 as Images by Blue Moose
- Software and Bob Orsillo, many changes have taken place since that time,
- including Horizon Software providing marketing and product development
- and changing the name to Aperture (to better reflect it's features). Our
- goal is to provide photographers with tools that make work a little easier
- and give them an edge over the competition.

- Aperture can do. But the best way to see for yourself is to order the trial
- version and give it a good work out. Or you can download a trial version
- from the CompuServe Photograpy Forum (GO PHOTOFORUM), the file name is
- APRTR5.ZIP, in section 16 (Photo Software). You won't be sorry!
