Late last week, Apple released version 3.4.1 of Aperture, its pro-grade image editing application. The new version, which is available as a direct download or via Mac OS X’s Software update feature, is a 550 megabyte download and offers the following fixes and changes:

- Addresses an installer issue that could cause the application to quit unexpectedly on launch.

- Improves the reliability of syncing photos to iOS devices via iTunes.

- Resolves an issue with downloading and viewing photos synced from Facebook albums.

- Addresses other stability issues.

Aperture 3.4.1 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later to install and run.

If you’ve tried the new version and have any feedback to offer, please let us know in the comments.
