Some time ago we realized that the iTunes feed for the podcast wasn’t showing up in HD, and that’s since been fixed. However the SD feed appears to be no longer working (or even up-to-date), so we’re investigating that.

Definitely go for the HD feed anyway. Who wants to see the Mac screen at half-size? The HD feed is broadcast exactly as it’s recorded, at 1280x720 pixels. No scaling = a very clear picture!

The latest Live Training Session, “Listener Questions” is ready to download! The questions we answered included:

Good morning Aperture fans.

It looks like a couple of updates hit the Software Update that you’ll want to install. As always, just select (Apple menu) > Software Update… if it hasn’t popped up on your screen already.

Digital Camera Raw Compatibly Update 3.7

This one will be greatly welcomed by owners of some of the latest digital cameras. The updated supported camera list adds:

The “Listener Question” edition of ApertureExpert Live Training has been scheduled. Check out the list of user-generated questions we’ll hit and register here.

As discussed on the twitterverse, the next ApertureExpert Live Training will be entirely Q&A based, instead of just doing questions at the end. This means questions will be vetted in advance, and we’ll probably wrap it up with a live Q&A, specifically for follow-up questions on what we just covered.

Hi readers! I’ve got a job for you…

There’s so much I want to do to this site, but I simply can’t manage it all on my own. So I’ve finally decided to put a call out for some assistance.

For those who’ve added loads of 3rd party Adjustment Presets (like these) to Aperture and have noticed that it’s slowed things down, specifically when you first start working in adjustments or any time you open and close the preset window, it appears that something snuck into a recent Aperture update to address this.

Photographer Chris Mielke wrote a review of the Texture Preset Packs on his site last month. If you’re looking for an unbiased opinion of these presets, check out his review!

Record time! Today’s session is now available for download. Head over to the Training Catalog to pick it up—and any others you may have missed!

By the way, I love hearing your comments on these. Feel free to post ‘em here, or on the original listing. Thanks!

Vacation is over, now BACK TO WORK! ;-)

Just a little note to all ApertureExpert readers… I’m officially on vacation for the next week and change, and will not be posting during that time. For my most regular readers, if you can help out in the forums as much as possible I’d certainly appreciate it, and look forward to catching up soon!

Thanks,
-Joseph @ApertureExpert
