The “Export” Live Training video and the new AppleScript “Export Multiple Versions” are both online and ready for download!

Got an app you want talked about on the site? The age of sponsored posts is upon us. Three tiers, starting with free, are available to developers. Click through to read the details.

At some point, you have to export your photos from Aperture. Easy enough, right? And it is… but there are so many options that can make your exporting easier and more consistent — if you set them up.

As we all know, Aperture is no longer being developed. However more and more third party applications are popping up on the App Store — some for very little money — that may fill in the some of the gaps while we wait for Photos to be released. In this post, so that we can take advantage of some of these new apps, we look at Aperture’s built-in “Open in Editor” command, and the significance of the few options it offers. We also look at the many options you have when saving at TIFF file from Photoshop. Warning… this is a really, really long post.

The Places Live Training video is now online and ready for download.

Pixelmator for iPad may well be what iPhoto should have been. I’ve barely scratched the surface, but already this is one impressive iOS app.

The much missed Camera Roll has returned in iOS 8.1. Funny how much you can miss such a simple little thing…

Apple has update the release notes for the most recent Yosemite compatibility update, and it appears we’re looking at a new RAW decode engine as well. Are you seeing any differences?

For everyone who made a purchase on the 5 Day Deal (now closed), we raised an unprecedented $200,000 for charity. That’s $40,000 per day!

With only 24 hours to go, you’ll want to get on this now—don’t miss out! Plus, we’ve smashed through our goal and hit $130,000 raised for charity, with still another day left. Can we hit $150k? I think so!

One of the funniest, most enjoyable, most entertaining, and most honest photographers out there today is Zack Arias. He’s the kind of guy you really want to grab a beer with. And his OneLight 2.0 video is included in the 5 Day Deal bundle. As he says, “It’s time to stop taking pictures that suck!”. Amen, brother.

Remember when I said a few days ago that you might want to wait before signing up for that 7-day free lynda.com trial? Here’s why… in the 5 Day Deal, you get a 30-day trial. Sweet!

I love Places! It’s one of my favorite features to play with in Aperture. Sure it has nothing to do with actually editing your photos, but there’s something about seeing them scattered around the globe as pins on a map that I just adore.
