AfterShot Pro 2 Mac App Store

Corel continues to make progress with AfterShot Pro 2. Now the RAW file processing program is available in the Mac App Store for $79.99.

Corel is attempting to capitalize on the demise of Apple Aperture by making AfterShot Pro 2 available in the same customer portal at the same price point.

Of course, you can also still pick it up from B&H for $69.99 right now.
