Aperture 3 Upgrade Observations

Mon, Feb 15 2010 08:42 | photography, 3.0, apple, aperture | Permalink

My upgrade to Apple's Aperture 3 came over the weekend so I upgraded and started letting it analyze faces using the iPhoto-inspired "Faces and Places" feature. Here's a few observations from the upgrade process and just a little use of the Faces feature. Aperture 3's icons are colorful, compared to its predecessor. I think they still look professional, but they are a little "friendlier" and more

Fixing Aperture Vault Errors from Terminal

Sun, Jan 24 2010 15:23 | Vault, chown, chmod, posix, permissions, cli, apvault, terminal, Package, apple, aperture | Permalink

Apple's pro photo management application Aperture 2 is long overdue for an upgrade, and I hope that we'll see Aperture version 3 before long. But while I'm itching for new features and functions, Aperture 2 covers the bases for me, in spades. Aperture has a nice feature called Vaults, which lets you automatically back up your photo library with all metadata to an external drive or drives. Except when

Upload Photos in Specified Order to Flickr from Aperture for Better Visibility

Wed, Oct 29 2008 20:38 | productivity, flickrexport, thomas hawk, connectedflow, flickr popularity, apple, aperture | Permalink

Pro photographer Thomas Hawk gives good advice in his article about getting attention on Flickr (whether that's a good thing or not is a different matter!) that you should upload fewer shots with the best one last. So if you're an Aperture user, how do you accomplish this sort of forced upload order to Flickr without having to upload each photo individually? I'm using the Connected Flow FlickrExporter

Aperture 2.1.2 Update - No Nikon D90 RAW Support

Wed, Oct 22 2008 15:59 | raw, nikon d90, aperture, 2.1.2 | Permalink

Apple updated Aperture to 2.1.2 today, but alas, no support yet for RAW files from the Nikon D90. RAW files are a capture of the data right off the camera's sensor, and are so-named because the files are not yet processed into something that can be viewed or printed. RAW files are usually something only pro photographers or at least "prosumers" are concerned with and are only output by DSLR-type cameras,

Finding Photos within a Date Range in Aperture

Thu, Oct 9 2008 08:57 | smart album, photography, tips, apple, aperture | Permalink

A friend using Apple's powerful Aperture photo management application asked me how to sort photos into date ranges, such as an entire year, a calendar month, or by day. Here's how to do it with Aperture's Smart Album feature. First, create the Smart Album by ctrl-clicking on the Library folder and choosing "New Smart" then "Album". The same thing is available from the File menu. A grey-black semi-transparent
