There used to be, but the Trial version has been discontinued, sorry.
You can see see, what Aperture can do from the
Aperture 3 User Manual
or the video tutorials on the Support page: http://www.apple.com/support/aperture/
Or visit an Apple store and try it out.

And you may want to send Apple feedback, that a Trial version is necessary for a "Pro" application: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html

How do you upgrade from Aperture trial version?

I have the Aperture trial version. When I open it, I get an option to buy it....and I have just three days left on my trial.
So I click BUY - and everything flakes out. It opens a window or two, along with Safari, with a URL that doesn't work - http://www.itunes.com/mac/aperture
One of the popups displays the price. When I click it, it says I can't buy it because it's already installed on my computer. I don't have a clue what's going on.
Thanks for any tips.

To buy Aperture you get the best deal from the App Store, not the Apple Store. The Trial Version has been discontinued. To be able to download from the App Store you have remove the Trial Version from the Applications Folder, but keep your Aperture Library and all the presets in your User Library. Then you should be able download Aperture from the App Store.
What is your OS version? You will need 10.6.8 or 10.7.3.

Aperture trial version and Tiger

I'm looking for an Aperture trial version which works on a G4 and Tiger.
The current version of Aperture doesn't.
Can anyone help me?

I am currently having the same issue. I would like to try Aperture but my operating system does not support Aperture 3. I am looking to download a trial version for Aperture 2 but haven't had any luck. Did you manage to find a trial version?
I recently downloaded a trial version of Lightroom to try - had the same issue, needed an older version to work with my operating system. I managed to find one through the Apple site, but I am not having luck finding one for Aperture.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Aperture Trial Version - can't download

Hi all
Just got my first Intel based MacBook - so want to trial Aperture. When I enter the details for the trial version I get an email from Apple, and the thank you window. But no download starts and the email says that if the is a problem click link. Goes back to the same page...
Can't see anywhere where I can email Apple about the prob. This is on the UK site.
Thanks for any help!

I have the same problem with the Canadian site. I cannot get the trial version from the US site either.

Have Aperture Trial Version...Want to purchase...

Per the title, I have the 30-day trial version on my iMac... I like it!
I've not purchased anything from the App Store for my Mac, so here's the question:
With the trial version on my computer, when I purchase the "full" verson of Aperture, will I be re-downloading the entire program, or will I be provided with a key or serial number to unlock the trial version?
Thanks in advance!

That is perfectly true, but also Murphy's Laws are true ,
You'll notice I said not all that important not that they are never needed at all. So yes if you're going to Mongolia for a time and will be out of Internet range then backup DVD's will be helpful (of course a clone of your system would even be more helpful but I digress)
And as I see you are an aficionado of the famous Murphy and his law I assume you are also a student of Systemantics
A brief quote from the seminal paper:
Systems In General Work Poorly Or Not At All.
But this fact, repeatedly observed by men and women down through the ages, has been, in the past, always attributed to various special circumstances. It has been reserved for our own time, and for a small band of men of genius, working mostly alone, to throw upon the whole subject the brilliant light of intuition, illuminating for all mankind the previously obscure reasons why Things So Often Go Wrong, or Don't Work, or Work in Ways Never Anticipated. To list the names of these contributors is to recite the Honor Roll of Systemantics.
No history of the subject would be complete without some reference to the semilegendary, almost anonymous Murphy (floreat circa 1940?) who chose to disguise his genius by stating a fundamental systems theorem in commonplace, almost pedestrian terminology. This law, known to schoolboys the world over as Jellybread always falls jelly-side down, is here restated in Murphy's own words, as it appears on the walls of most of the world's scientific laboratories:
If Anything Can Go Wrong, It Will.
In the Law as thus formulated, there is a gratuitous and unjustified element of teleology, an intrusion of superstition, or even of belief in magic, which we today would resolutely reject .the Universe is not actually malignant, it only seems so[*].

Can't download Aperture trial version

If somebody could help me I would be very grateful as the search I did on this category didn't provide any answers.
I want to download Aperture trial from the Apple site, but every time I click the download a new Tab opens with an empty window and the address is: "http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-61 41.20090408.TR0r2/Aperture2.1.3Trial.dmg"
I already got three serial numbers and I still can't download and I have no ideas left.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Daniel

Thank you for trying. I have found the problem. It's Intego AntiVirus Banner filter, who would imagine?!
I stopped all other filters, but not that one, and now when I turned Intego completely off it started working.

Is there a trial version of Aperture

I have about 24 days remaining on my trial version of Nikon Capture NX, and I like it very much. However, if there is a similar 30-day trial version for Aperture, I would like to give it a test run before commiting either way.
Does anyone know if such a trial version exists? I don't see anyting in the Apple promos about this.
Thanks very much for your input!

Thanks, Niel and Sierra.
Speaking just for myself: Yes, they are missing the opprtunity to enlist me as an Aperture customer.
Don't get me wrong, I love the MAC environment and expect to continue to be a MAC user for many years to come. BUT I am sometimes unnerved by what seems to be their sheer arrogance. I doubt that the Aperture trial version issue is an oversight. Rather, I expect that it is deliberate and comes from a kind of messianic myopia.
Nevertheless, thanks so much for your replies.

How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it. Apple has me confused.
Anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals. I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
I'll call Apple tomorrow.

Aperture Trial crashed and now my trial has expired

I have just received my new MacBook Pro and was excited to be able to try the Aperture Trial version. Installation went smoothly, and on first startup I let Aperture import my iPhoto library. However at about 10% of importing, Aperture seemed to have stalled. It did not respond to my input. Even trying to quit it from the dock had no effect. So I used Force Quit.
Now when I try to restart Aperture I get a message that my trial has expired, and I get the option to buy it. I would really be interesting in buying it after a 30-day trial, but not after a 10-minute trial which ended in a crash and a bug that now prevents me from starting up again!
Any similar experiences or possible solutions?

Thanks! I tried your suggestion to delete everything Aperture related from the library, but with no luck. I also installed Aperture on my old 1.8 GHz iMac G5 yesterday, just as a test, and had no problems there (except that that machine is really too slow for Aperture). Then to my surprise, this morning the Aperture trial also worked again on my brand new MacBook Pro.
In hindsight, I think I must have installed the Aperture trial while my system clock was still on Shanghai time (where the MacBook Pro factory is). Yesterday (wednesday) afternoon in Europe, when I was installing, it must already have been thursday morning in China. Then during or after the installation I adjusted the time to Central European time, and the date skipped one day back. So the piece of software that was checking whether the trial was still valid actually noticed that the system date was before the date that the trial began and did not let me start the software again until today! Although I am not quite sure, that's my best theory about what must have happened.
As for the unresponsiveness that caused me to force quit Aperture in the first place, that might have been a mistake as well. In my eagerness to test the new computer I was doing many things at the same time. At the moment I have only 1 GB of RAM in this computer. I would suggest anyone trying out Aperture on a brand new machine to be patient. First make sure all other software and settings are in place, and then take a few hours to run Aperture alone, in order to let it import your images, etc.

Installing Aperture after trial has expired--effect on project in progress during Aperture trial

My Aperture trial version expired before I finished a photo book. I want to buy the full version now from the App Store.
What do I have to do to make sure my project will still be there where I left off when I get Aperture from the App Store?
Where does my project exist now that my trial has expired? Is it still on my computer and just inaccessible, or is it in the cloud somewhere?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Your projects are part of your Aperture Library (or Aperture Libraries, if you created several); by default the Aperture Library will be stored in the "Pictures" folder in your home folder and called "Aperture Library.aplibrary".
Be sure you have a working backup of this library. It contains all your projects, books, albums,..
To be able to buy Aperture from the App Store you will need to deinstall the Aperture Application from your Applications Folder (move the Aperture.app to the Trash), but keep the Aperture Library. Then you will be able to purchase the Application.

Aperture 2.0 Activation Key does not work after using older trial version

I was using the installed trial version of Aperture 1.5+ in my recently purchased MacBook Pro Duo (December 2007). After using the trial version for 30 days I debated whether to take the plunge ...and then within a few days recieved word that v2.0 was out at 199$. That motivated me ...however, here I am nearly one week later without ability to activate a full blown version of 2.0.
I recieved the activation key, but it doesn't accept it in the dialog to upgrade in the trial version. Hint seems to be that it is not a serial number I am entering but an activation key.
I did not order a boxed version, so what do I do now? Support is not too helpful as I have searched Apple's website and have no clue as to where to go.
Last resort ... I want my $199 back!

did you download the trial for Aperture 2

Aperture 3 trial version hangs and quits

I downloaded a trial version of Aperture 3 to try it out since I liked the added features. I currently use iPhoto. Everything went fine until I did the iPhoto import.
Now, every time I start Aperture, it either hangs and becomes unresponsive, or quits before fully opening, or one time opened, said processing, and then quit.
Another oddity is that my last import in iPhoto now contains a bunch of Aperture graphics and icons. Since I don't have a full serial number, and am not upgrading, I don't know if the other fixes about the serialization would be effective in my case.
Would love to try Aperture, but so far, no go.

So I tried downloading 3.0.1 trial that was supposed to fix the unexpected quitting problem. Nope. Still quits. I keep thinking it has something to do with the iPhoto import. Until I did that - or tried to do that, Aperture seemed fine.

Using FlashAlbumExporter plug-in with trial version of Aperture 2.1

I have aperture 1.5 and am thinking about upgrading.
One of the features I am looking for is more variety and control in web gallery generation from Aperture.
With this in mind I wanted to play with FlashAlbumExporter.
I downloaded the installer file and opened it but that is where I am hitting a wall.
I go to click the file (FlashAlbumExporter.ApertureExport) and it opens the trial version of Aperture 2.1 but I never see Flash Album Exporter as an export option after I have selected photos, projects, web pages, or anything else I could think of.
It simply doesn't install. What am I doing wrong?

Place the plugin bundle, FlashAlbumexporter.ApertureExport, in your Aperture Export plugin directory (Users -> "your user name" -> Library -> Application Support -> Aperture -> Plug-Ins -> Export).
NOTE: If this is your first Aperture plug-in, the folders Plug-Ins and Export may not exist. In this case just create them first.

Just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos-not entire library!

I just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos to edit, not entire i Photo library! I read manual and it says:
Browsing and Selecting Images in Your iPhoto Library
You use the Aperture iPhoto Browser to review iPhoto images and import specific images into the Aperture library. The iPhoto Browser gives you a handy way of looking for certain images without having to import your entire iPhoto library.
So, where do I review the iPhoto images...there is nothing in there that says "iPhoto Library" Everything I see pertains to Aperture Library which of course is empty since I haven't imported (or dragged) any photos in there yet.
Also is tech support available for Aperture? I have Apple Extended Support and I sure would love it if I had individual help. I have a deadline --3 days to edit 300 photos and I'm a complete amateur. iPhoto doesn't have the capability to erase parts of a face (I need to contour the neck of a mannequin to make it proportionate to the separate head I put on top of it. I'm sure Aperture must have a tool to help me do that! At least I hope so.

where do I review the iPhoto images
File -> Import -> Show iPhoto Browser

Sounds more like a job for Photoshop to me
if I decide to import entire iPhoto library into Aperture will it delete my iPhoto library?
No.

Is the aperture 3 trial version different from the original?

Hello,
I am working on organizing my photos trying out the aperture 3 trial version. I'm thinking of getting the original one but before I actually organize my libraries I want to know if there are any differences I should know about that might affect my work launching the original version. Also, does the original work the same with the Duplicate Annihilator?
Thanks in advance!

The trial version is a fully functional version of Aperture. If you decide to continue on with it you can just authorize the trial copy once you get our key. The only difference is the name of the default library the trail and non-trial versions create. But you can always rename the library if you wish.
All this applies to the CD version, if you eventually buy from the App Store I'm not sure what the procedure would be. But in any case the library created with the trial should be useable by the App Store version.
One thing to keep in mind, if you add images to the trial version and use it then decide not to keep Aperture you'll be able to retrieve your master files but any changes made will be lost.
