Yosemite is here, and so is the Aperture compatibility update!

Available now! We hadn’t done one of these in a while, so it was time… Adjustments are wrapped (at least all the main ones), so before moving on we got many outstanding questions answered.

Missed this the other week… two new cameras have been added to the RAW compatibility list: the Nikon D810 and the Panasonic LUMIX FZ1000. Speaking of, I’ll be in Portland this weekend showing off the FZ1000!

We haven’t done one of these in a while, so it’s time… Adjustments are wrapped (at least all the main ones), so before moving on let’s get any outstanding listener questions answered.

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

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…

Available now! Aperture’s retouching tools may not be the most powerful available, but you may be surprised at just how much you can do without having to jump into Photoshop.

It’s time to look at retouching! Let’s see just what can be done in Aperture using both Retouch and Skin Smoothing.

Explore the Color and the B&W tools in Aperture 3. There’s may be more hiding under the hood than you realized!
