January marks, among other things, the beginning of a new seasonal cycle in international modeling with Ford’s annual Supermodel of the World finals. Giselle from the Philippines is one of the candidates to this year’s competition to be held...

With regular and consistent use, many long-time Aperture users may have already hit upon a fairly simple, efficient and straightforward workflow--a workflow that, perhaps, has even already calcified into a habit. Resorting to an almost automatic, repetitive repertoire of keyboard...

I’ve worked with hundreds of talented photographers, video editors, and designers over the years, helping them solve technical problems or accomplish whatever creative task might be at hand. One trend that I see over and over is that there’s never...

Whenever Apple introduces a new anything, whether a new new thing or a major update to any existing products and services, it becomes publicly and magically available as a fully formed matter on their website. We of course know that...

If you have a camera that writes a RAW file that is currently unsupported by Aperture, you may not be entirely out of luck. First, it is very likely that the team at Apple is busy trying to come...

This week I am up in Brooklyn, New York collecting the content I need for a multimedia project I am working on as part of my MFA program. I have been gravitating towards working in multimedia for a long...

As a nature photographer, I travel a lot and depend on Aperture and my MacBook Pro while on the road. There’s no doubt in my mind that using Aperture is the most efficient way to manage my images - both...

Last week, between my location shoot at Princeton University and three different areas in Manhattan, I've shot more than 3,000 RAW images. That's a lot of images from two shooting days. As soon as I fill up a CF card...

This past week I have been trying to get myself up to speed with a few of the scanners we have available to us on campus. We have a good variety of scanners in our studio center, as well...

Last week Nik Software announced a new Edit plugin for Aperture called Sharpener Pro. I have spent the past week testing this plugin and I have one thing to say--get it! This plugin is by far one of the most...

Last week, I completed two photo assignments in New York City--a portrait session and a fashion shoot. Things went well except for one itsy-bitsy thing: I didn't have Photoshop. In that whirlwind of a week, out of all the...

This week was my first week of classes at the Maryland Institute College of Art. I am now in what they are calling the MFA in Photographic and Electronic Media program. Earlier this week we all met to talk about...

I have an admission to make. I have one very bad habit in my workflow that I just can’t seem to shake loose. There is a project in my workflow called “Import” that has been sitting there since I first...

Last week I wrote about a new edit plugin for Aperture called Silver Efex Pro from Nik Software. I am still having a great time using this plugin. I read some of your comments and am trying to find out...

You may have missed that the "Save as PDF" button has changed to a PDF pop-up menu in the Print dialog box for the Book tool. There are a few things going on here, many of which I'll cover...

Like many photographers, I share my post-processing work between a portable and a desktop computer. This is all well and good, until it comes to sharing work and edits between two copies of Aperture...

If you have been constantly using Aperture through the years, and if along the way you've developed an intuitive degree of mastery over it, you will begin to experience what a really awesome tool it is. This has been my...

One of the things I have always liked about Aperture is the way you can kind of do things in any order you want. Because Aperture uses a non-destructive approach to image editing, adjustments, crops, and other changes can be...

I recently taught an Aperture workshop in Boston for my friends over at the Aperture Users Professional Network. It was a great event, and about 20 Aperture users — both experienced and new users — trudged through the snow to...

Last week, I received an email from a wedding photographer, asking for some Aperture help. She's found that after she works in Aperture for a while, each adjustment she makes takes longer and longer (sometimes on the order of 10...
