Aperture 3: big things, little things.
It’s been a verrrrry long time coming. But having spent the past hour playing around with the new version of Aperture, all I can say is: thank you. My stubbornness feels completely repaid. This upgrade adresses everything that was lacking and adds a ton of features, big and small. It’s as though Apple actually read [...]
APERTURE 3 is out!
I’ll have a first look later today but here are the highlights from Apple’s page: Apple – Aperture – Pro performance with iPhoto simplicity. Two words: non-destructive :-)
Macworld UK: Apple Aperture 3 to be released next week?
It’s beginning to look a lot like xmas… Rumour: Apple Aperture 3 to be released next week? – Mac – Macworld UK.
the case of aperture and the stratocaster
For the past year – and more so these past months – the debate has been raging around Aperture and Lightroom, mainly from AP2 users who feel abandoned by Apple. The silence surrounding a new version of the application has been deafening, forcing a lot of users into the arms of Adobe for many reasons [...]
Aperture 3: others chiming in
From The Apple Blog: But I wonder at what point those of us using Aperture have begun suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, and are defending our captors rather than breaking free for greener pastures. Full article here.
10.6.2: Aperture printing is back baby!
Just installed 10.6.2 and immediately did a print test. Results? 1) We can now turn Black Point Compensation back on and use paper profiles. Goodbye purple! 2) Aperture sends the right tray info to my R2880 so no more Preview workaround!!! Number 2 had me worried: it didn’t work the first time I tried it, [...]
LR3 beta – a followup
Alright. I know it’s quick but I’ve just spent the past hour playing with the new LR3 beta and while all the core advantages from LR2 remain, it’s still no fun to work with. The interface is just as messy as before and most of the improvements – at least as far as I can [...]
of snow leopard, aperture and epson
Allright, so after two weeks I’m still on Snow Leopard and have decided to live with the very annoying printing bug. In fact as of this morning I’m on 10.6.1 which unfortunately - after a few more tests – doesn’t solve anything. Why not revert to Leopard? Well frankly, the rest of the system feels [...]
epson r2880 and snow leopard: sweating bullets
I just spent a good 30 minutes sweating bullets upon discovering the new 10.6 compatible driver for my Epson R2880 printer was seriously crippled. Turns out that my installation of Snow Leopard had not included Rosetta, even though I had specified it through the custom install options. After reading a forum thread mentioning the problem [...]
snow leopard and aperture – a quick glance UPDATED
UPDATE: I’m having serious printing problems with my Epson R2880: when trying to print from Aperture (2.1.4) any paper I choose is apparently stuck at roll paper, giving a wrong source error when it reaches the printer. I now have to hit preview, select the correct page setup and profile and print from there. So [...]
Aperture 3 – Wishes. Expectations. Anticipation.
Quick Recap When Apple unveiled Aperture in 2005, the photography landscape was in dire need of consolidation: the digital workflow was a hodge podge of various solutions combining RAW converters, editing software and asset management applications. Working with RAW files was unwieldy, involving conversions and file multiplication if you needed different versions of the same [...]
aperture 3 coming?
Ok, first off: I know nothing. This is pure speculation. But yesterday Apple - finally – unveiled major updates to its pro apps with new versions of Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio, each including new versions of every app in the suite (well, aside from the long forgotten DVD Studio Pro which lingers at version [...]
