Aperture is an image organiser for photo management and image manipulation developed by Apple, first released in 2005 for macOS operating system. It was supplied with each Apple Macintosh until 2015, when Photos replaced Aperture and iPhoto. It handled various tasks common in post-production work such as importing and organizing image files, applying corrective adjustments, displaying slideshows, and printing photographs.
It was written in Objective-C a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk style messaging to the C programming language. Originally developed by Brad Cox and Tom Love in the early 1980s, it was selected by NeXT for its NeXTSTEP operating system. Objective-C was the standard programming language supported by Apple for developing macOS (which descended from NeXTSTEP).
