Re-evaluating LR3 vs Aperture 3
I just wrote a lengthy post on the Aperture forum about my recent tribulations with Aperture. I thought I’d post it here. I also suggest you read the original thread if you’re interested. I couldn’t help but smile a little when I read your post. Great coverage btw. I smiled because I’ve just spent the [...]
Aperture bug follow-up: solved! Update
UPDATE: according to several Aperture forum users, this seems to be fixing a lot of issues such as constant thumbnail rebuilding, reprocessing of images and adjustments resetting. I also have to say that I didn’t have a single crash today while doing extensive editing with brushes. It’s a first so hopefully this is more than [...]
New bug with 10.6.3 and Aperture 3.0.2 UPDATED
I know I’ve been pretty silent about Aperture 3 since it came out, especially considering how much I had been waiting for this upgrade. Fact is, I was waiting to see what a few updates would do to smooth the landscape, one that has been riddled with crashes and various bugs since day one. Unlike [...]
Aperture 3 the day after: nitpicks and bugs
I stand by my first impression: Aperture 3 is a great update. That said, now that the dust has settled and I’m over the rush of new technology, there are things appearing that are less than what I anticipated - as well as the inevitable bugs of any new version. Current 32 bit plugins don’t [...]
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 [...]
Professional photographer? there’s an app for that!
Not sure what it’s worth but here goes: ProPhoto . I’m thinking marketing gimmick – but it’s free. I’ll try it out on my iPod Touch later tonight.
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 [...]
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 [...]
LR3 beta 1
Chris alerted me to it this morning in the comments: is this sad or what? Only bright side I can think of is the kick in the pants this is going to give Apple – if they care anything about our community and business. Some of the highlights of the new version according to Adobe [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
