Available now! In this session, we looked at three totally unrelated tools— Edge Sharpen, Chromatic Aberration, and Color Monochrome.

There’s some confusion abound on how you can or will be able to access your iCloud photos before Photos.app for OS X comes out. Read on to see what may be coming…

If you were an iPhoto on iOS user, once upgrading to iOS 8, iPhoto will no longer run. Pictures will move and edits will convert, but not all the features of iPhoto are in Photos. In fact, if you rely on iPhoto, you may want to hold off upgrading to iOS 8. Read on to see what does, and what doesn’t, carry over.

Now that iOS 8 is here, we can finally look at how apps following the new Extensions framework actually behaving in Photos. There aren’t many to choose from yet, but we only need one to see how this works!

Welcome to the transition. ApertureExpert has migrated to The Photos Expert. Read all about it here…

In this session, we’ll have a look at three totally unrelated tools, but hey — they’re next on the list! Edge Sharpen, Chromatic Aberration, and the Color Monochrome will be the topics of the hour.

Available now! We really got into brushes here. I decided to open Photoshop to more easily explain (I hope!) how brushed adjustments work in Aperture. Since you can’t see what’s going on in Aperture, this turned into a neat way to demonstrate it. This should be the ultimate discussion on brushes, and of course how they apply to adjustments such as Dodge and Burn.

There are of course times when we need to go outside of Aperture for our work. It might be to access a single plug-in, or to use a tool in Photoshop that Aperture lacks, but in some cases it’s bigger than that, such as creating a large composite file. In situations like that however, Aperture doesn’t cease to be part of the workflow. In fact, it can be a critical component, where each individual file is prepped and managed before being sent off to another land.

Dodging and burning are as old as photo printing itself. It’s probably safe to say it’s the original photo editing technique! But do you know how to do it it in Aperture, and how Aperture’s mask layers and brushes play together? This is the video to learn it all…
