Big Aperture App Reviews

Great!!!

Good effects, but miss a essential tool: crop. Also, in the basic mode, it would be great to have contrast a brightness control. One more: The clear and erase buttons in the advanced tab are a disaster so close! Its even worse that the undo button does not work when you by mistake hit the clear instead of eraser… But besides that, it saves a lot of iPhone pictures.

Love it so far. Some improvements I would like to see in future updates: Ability to save user defined effects, frame borders, etc as a user defined preset for future quick apply on new image files. Ability to adjust the amount of FX effects being applied to an image, example: a slider from 0% - 100% The apperture works great, however when you add a frame it also gets blurred. Frame should be on a layer that dose not get blurred regardless of mode, lens or aperture would be nice. Also make the current selected FX Effect thumbnail highlighted so that the user knows where they are on the effect strip thumnails. Ability to share via email, facebook, twitter, etc. Also a title or info to show the current file being worked on. Would be nice to open multiple files and apply the same effects, frames, etc in one shot. Some icons / graphics could be less windows style and more Apple GUI style please! Otherwise great. Looking forward to using it.

I bought it on sale à 1$...super cool! Easy to use, a lot of FX to try and frame. I personnally recommend it.

If you like the background image softness you get with long lenses (especially in portraits) this is the program for you!!!!. Only took about 10 minutes to figure how to make it work (although it could use some sort of quick built-in tutorial) and the results are truely remarkable. A heck of a lot cheaper than a 300mm lens!!!

I want drag and drop from Finder to splash screen. I do not use file select dialog. because drag and drop is like MacOS.

Overall, the application is very easy to handle, but not very professional. When you export the Image, the file size is suddenly reduced to under 1MB. If view it fullscreen on a 20 inch widescreen it would be unbearable. Plus, the Support link is an advertizement for a diffrent software.

This app is confusing and a waste of your money. My advice is-dont buy it.

Very nice and pro UI, the fast workflow is very impressed. Just a few seconds, quickly show the result right away, I like the “compare” feature, clearly see the difference in real time procesing, always get my best result. THANK YOU !

Thoughtful brush size options, extended resolution choice, adjustablecolor detail, high-quality performance, love it !

this app is great! it is exactly what i was looking for! the reason why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that once im done editing my photo, and i go to export so i can save it onto my computer, it saves it AS IT ORIGNALLY WAS; not how it looks after i edited it. im not sure if im doing something wrong, but ive tried everything and cannot get it to save in its editted form. please help!

"advanced" controls dont work. my picture looks better before any edits were made.

Nothing more needs to be said!

Nice App for the $$$. Very simple to use and dose a great job with snapshots.

This is a piece of software that will replace hours of work in Adobe Photoshop CS5. It is truly amazing what is capable of doing. Currently there are packages selling for several hundred dollars that used in conjunction with CS5 will accoplish this. THIS IS THE BEST DOLLAR I EVER SPEND.

It’s may be the best depth of field effect I can have on mac softwares, cut out focus area and show excellent blurred backdrop exactly I expect. It gives me power to decide which areas to stand out in the photo. Very smart app!

After tried the advanced mode of this app, overall I must say the intelligent focus system doing a great job refer to my photo editing. Compare to other difficult photo apps, I just need roughly brush the section I want to focus, then the app automatically rendering the outline of focus subject with an amazing look.

uhh bought it in view of the 5 stars reviews, but i bet they all fake : here is a real assessment the so called smart lasso is not smart at all and produces halo effects, you end spending more time trying to have it to work than doing it manually all blur are very light and the lenses simply do not work the brush is like a big spot, but very tiny on medium to large image, unusable! update 1.05: does not fix anything update 1.1: still not working... update 1.1.1: still not working update 1.1.2: fix none of the above... wondering what this update is about!

THIS IS THE 2ND APP FROM THE APP STORE THAT PREVENTS ME FROM GETTING AN UPDATE. YOU PEOPLE SERIOUSLY DONT WANT ME TO BUY HERE ANYMORE, DO YOU? ITS YOUR PROBLEM-YOU FIX IT. UPDATE: I FIND IT FUNNY HOW WHEN YOU THREATEN THE LOSS OF SALES THINGS GET FIXED. YES, ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD DO THE UPDATE.

Unfortunately, this thing freezes up all the time. The lasso tool doesnt actually work. Waste of a buck, Im sorry to say!
