Guides on emulating older applications
This DVD image is 3.44 GB, so it had to be chopped into three chunks to fit on the Mighty Server.
The SITX parts should be best joined again with the free Stuffit Expander.
The installation is multi-language, but details will have to be checked once somebody installed the app.
DL number four is an img with a pdf of the German Tastenkombinationen.
Aperture was a photo editing and management computer program developed by Apple Inc. for the OS X operating system, first released in 2005, and now discontinued from the App Store.
The software handles a number of tasks common in post-production work such as importing and organizing image files, applying corrective adjustments, displaying slideshows, and printing photographs. Features of Aperture include non-destructive editing, organization of photographs by keyword, faces (using face detection and recognition), and places (using GPS metadata embedded in image files), brushes for applying effects (such as dodge and burn, skin smoothing, and polarization), and exporting to several popular websites, including Flickr, Facebook, SmugMug, and iCloud.
Features
- Complete raw image format support from import to export (for supported cameras).
- Supports tethered shooting from Nikon and Canon DSLRs.
- Master image files (raw or otherwise) may be kept in place on import or migrated into the Aperture library.
- Raw Fine Tuning, allowing versions of raw decode to be managed over time and conversion parameters adjusted.
- Many image adjustment tools including specific color retouching, a luminance based edge sharpener, and spot repair.
- Lens correction tools, such as chromatic aberration.
- Project management, with extensive metadata and searching support.
- Autostacking, a way to group photos based on the time between shutter clicks.
- Stacks (for grouping photos) and Versions (for making multiple working copies of the same image).
- Multiple display spanning.
- Loupe, allowing viewing of images at zooms from 50% to 1600%.
- Light Table, a type of freeform workspace.
- Native support of the Adobe Photoshop PSD, PNG, JPEG and TIFF formats.
- Nondestructive image editing.
- Customizable printing and publishing.
- Supports importing from USB and FireWire memory card readers or directly from a camera connected via USB.
- Ability to simultaneously zoom and pan multiple images.
- Read and write support for IPTC image metadata.
- Heavily customizable book creation.
- Web gallery and blog creation, uploadable via FTP or Webdav.
- Full-featured full-screen mode, for editing and sorting images.
Aperture 2.0 was released on February 12, 2008 with a reduced US price of $199.
- Streamlined interface.
- Enhanced performance due to database optimizations and interface improvements.
- Enhanced image processing with updated raw support.
- Improved integration with OS X, MobileMe (now iCloud) and various software packages including iLife and iWork.
- Support for editing plug-ins, including Apple's own dodging and burning tool.

Comments
For posterity, cricket, who was senior QA on Aperture, shared a rather chilling retrospective on the crunch-filled road to shipping Aperture.
I find it interesting between this and Troy Gaul's retro on Lightroom that the Aperture team didn't even know what features Aperture was going to have, and only had a date to meet to try to beat Lightroom to market.
Interesting times. I think I understand now why Apple hasn't tried to compete so directly with Adobe since then.
Try E-337-VMI-386-FSS-128-MAL-111-UNC-1YL-Z2MX
Hello,
I'm struggling to read the serial number posted in the photo. Although I might be typing it in wrong, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could type it out for me.
Thanks
3.6 also available via a mediashare link... Google-Fu FTW!
p2p? not required ... found v3.4.5 is still at Softp*dia ... the v3.6 dmg was lounging in someone's 4sh*red account
Thanks for the search string. My own searches were far less fruitful - since I'm using a Chromebook that doesn't have access to p2p stuff.
Gary
Your GoogleFu may need some work...
Literally the FIRST hit on Google, with Aper**** 3.* dm* downl***
PS. Delete this post if you consider it against piracy policy... was just pointing out how ridiculously simple to find it was...
I found 3.6 after about 20 minutes of using some GoogleFu ... the one I found might be a cracked version, not sure. ... plus I'm sleepy, I may keep looking later... I will NOT upload it here for obvious reasons. However, to save you time, the filename you are searching for is " Aperture_v3.6-CORE.dmg "
I also found version 3.4.5 (filename is Aperture3.4.5Update.dmg) - this required using Pacifist to install. App Store software update detected it but will NOT update it to 3.6 if you do not own a copy associated with your Apple ID.
I installed 3.6 on top of the previously installed 3.4.5 and it seemed to work fine, though I did nothing past launch. I have since deleted all traces of it so I won't be able to provide anymore data. I suspect it's fine and safe to use, but on a modern system it's unlikely to survive the next major upgrade or two. Lightroom is probably the way to go though it causes great nausea to suggest it.
If you don't already own Pacifist here's a link:

This is a MUST HAVE utility in my universe, as are the old versions for Panther, Tiger, etc.
Aperture 2.n won't run on Yosemite so I went looking for v3.6 which will. No dice. It's gone from the app store and from software update.
Suggestions?
Gary
I tried the Unarchiver (VERY nice) but it doesn't understand SITX files. So I fired up an old relic computer running Leopard, downloaded the associated Stuffit and gave it a try.
The same silly icon showed up on my desktop but I noticed that it was actually a Progress bar. And due to the size of the archive(s), it was taking a LONG time to process the 3 files. I was also aided by having the 3 files loaded on an external disk that includes an activity light.
The light continued to blink even after the Progress bar on the silly icon had reached it's limit. So I walked away from the computer for a couple of hours and was rewarded with an installer for Aperture.
Stuffit is probably a great piece of software underneath, but the UI (in this incarnation) is really the pits.
Gary
Try an older version:

@Gary: Maybe this oldie is behaving on your Mac?
http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/stuffit-expander-2011
You might try the Unarchiver too, but I don´t think it is able to join chunks.
@jonnyboy: Thanks for saving me time and bandwith!
Added the 2.1.4 update and the Plugin Manager update (both still available at Apple Support page and through Software Update but added here for archival reasons. The manual for instance is NOT to be found there; thankfully it's here)
The Installer will accept a 2.1.4 serial but the app will not launch until you apply the update
**I fully recognize that this update might possibly conflict with the Abandonware principles here (which I fully endorse) so I will not be surprised or hurt if you remove these additions**
The version of Stuffit Expander I just downloaded from Smith Micro is extremely ill-behaved. Once launched, it won't quit. I have to use "force quit" to stop it.
Also, it won't unarchive the SITX files. No error, no log. Nothing but a persistent icon (maybe a window) that shows on my desktop.
Any other suggestions for an unarchiver app? I'm using Yosemite.
Gary
Tastenkombinationen = keyboard shortcuts.
Sorry for the confusion, this page was not ready - my bad.
I might have better left it unpublished until finishing.
The chunks are complete now and I´ll add the AP2 upgrades soon.
If someone has AP1, please consider uploading it on its own page.
Something seems to be missing. Wants another section. Should this start with a section '0'?
If you use the correct app (Free Stuffit Expander) they will automatically be combined into a single Toast image. Drag and drop once to expand and then drag them both again to concatenate.

Older versions are here.

I don't use OS X very often. What is the best way to combine and expand this set of 2 SITX files?
