Apple has now released Aperture 3.0.1, claiming to fix significant reported problems with the new edition of the professional photo management tool. Although every new software release endures some bumps after being exposed to systems outside its testing pool, I heard from many photographers, TidBITS readers, and other colleagues that Aperture 3 seemed as if it was shipped too early. (I’ve used it a little following its release earlier this month – see “Apple Releases Aperture 3,” 9 February 2010 – and experienced one outright crash and sluggish behavior, but not enough to pass judgment.)

Memory usage is improved “when processing heavily retouched photos,” and there are improvements to the new Faces and Places features, which all seemed to be problematic flash points for users.
