Apple has just released an update for Aperture 3, bringing the latest version to release 3.1.1. This addresses problems with iLife ’11 compatibility, importing, upgrading, adjustments, publishing to the Web, slideshows, and vaults. One key bug fix is that when uploading images to a Flickr Pro account, Aperture will now upload full-resolution images.

The latest update is available via software update or from Apple.

The full list of bug fixes for this update is as follows:

• Fixes a issue that in rare cases, could cause image files to be deleted when dragging a folder containing both images and text files from the Finder into Aperture.

• Aperture no longer quits unexpectedly when importing an iPhoto library after having opened the import window with an iPad connected.

Upgrade:
