“Impression adds a new dimension to watermarking in Aperture.” said Steven Vandeweghe, founder of Blue Crowbar Software. “It is based on the concept of importing your watermarked photos in Aperture instead of exporting them. This shows you what the final image will look like before you export it and makes it much easier to manage all of your photos within Aperture’s library.”
