A Tip for Confirming Faces Quickly

October 10, 2012 - 9:18am

Faces isn’t a feature I talk about much, mostly because it’s virtually unusable for me. I’ve stated before that I really want Faces to be project-specific, meaning I can turn it off on projects such as concerts I shoot that have 30,000 faces in the audience! I love, love, love the concept of Faces, but in reality on a Library like mine (and I’m sure many of yours), with so many faces and so many photos, there’s a point where it becomes unusable.

There have been many reports here of issues with Aperture crashing after the Aperture 3.4 upgrade. Some reported fixing it by reinstalling the app, while others reported it fixed by trashing the preferences.

For those of you that trashed the preferences — your fix is only temporary. You will need to reinstall the app. Just delete it and re-download from the App store.

Deselecting Images in the Aperture Import Window

I would say one of the top ten Aperture questions I get from users, many of whom are experienced, is asking how they select and de-select multiple images for import. I think the reason for this confusion is that it doesn’t act quite the way the Finder does in this regard. Not only can you select an image, but the check box needs to be checked for it to be imported.

Often, we shoot more than one assignment on a card and want to separate the images into their respective Projects on import. It’s a way of keeping things tidy before they are actually in the library. Otherwise, you have to go through the extra step of relocating images (in a referenced library).

Uncheck All

The first step is to “Uncheck All”I prefer to “Uncheck All” before I select which images I want to import first. Of course you do it differently if you like. You can also just uncheck the images you do not want to import. [more]

Vault Behaving Better in Aperture 3.3.2

I’ve noted before that since the 3.3 upgrade, I’d been unable to create a new Vault (starting from scratch). I’m happy to report that since the 3.3.2 update, I’ve been able to successfully create a new Vault again, and run updates on it. My library is larger than most and I know many people had no problems creating Vaults, but I wanted to share that it now worked for me — so if you’ve had Vault issues, it’s time to try again.

ApertureExpert (not-so) Live Training Session 022: Live Adjustments is Available

Sorry for being so quiet lately; after the big Aperture 3.3 push things calmed down again, plus it’s just been super busy elsewhere. In fact I didn’t have time to schedule this last Live Training as an actual live broadcast, so I ended up just recording it and publishing it here. Silly thing is, I wanted this up last week — but my drive dismounted and I couldn’t get to it remotely to finish the job! Oh well, hopefully worth the wait…
