Aperture 5.0, is a multi-relational database system that has been designed
with the Stock, Assignment and Freelance photographer in mind. It was written
by stock and assignments photographers. You will find many of the everyday
forms and reports needed to run a successful business. With many advanced
features it is a valued tool for all photographers, professionals and hobbist
alike. Aperture has the ability to catalog your slides and photographs, track
submissions, keep you in contact with your clients and much more!

The first edition was released in January 1990 as Images by Blue Moose
Software and Bob Orsillo, many changes have taken place since that time,
including Horizon Software providing marketing and product development
and changing the name to Aperture (to better reflect it's features). Our
goal is to provide photographers with tools that make work a little easier
and give them an edge over the competition.

The following information will give you a good idea of just some of things
Aperture can do. But the best way to see for yourself is to order the trial
version and give it a good work out. Or you can download a trial version
from the CompuServe Photograpy Forum (GO PHOTOFORUM), the file name is
APRTR5.ZIP, in section 16 (Photo Software). You won't be sorry!

A "History" is kept on each image you enter. An image's history includes
submission, when out and in, to whom, sales, rights sold, and when the image
is available for resale.

When browsing through your records all this information is available at the
