Hey Joseph,
I was wondering if it would be possible to shoot tethered and then when a picture it taken it is added to an album. Then after 4 pictures have been taken it is possible to have Aperture notice there are 4 new photos and then print them out automatically as a contact sheet on a 4x6.
Pretty much like setting it up as a photo booth.
Thanks for your help. Love TWiP!
Danny,
Tethered shooting is about as far as you can get with the built-in tools. When you shoot tethered, the shots go into a Project—but you can’t direct them into an Album. That in itself may not be a problem however.
Selecting four photos and printing them as a contact sheet is probably AppleScript-able. I don’t think it’d be completely automatic, but could be as simple as selecting four images and running the script.
What do you think?

Ok so now I have one more question for you. When you make a contact sheet are you able to have a logo take up lets say 1.5” on the left side and then have the remaining for the pictures? I tried for a bit last night to mess with it but the logo feature only stuck a logo in the upper left and the watermark stuck it on the whole image.
I guess I could always pre-print the pages with the logo on them and then have them in the printer for when people use it.
I am going to work on it and let you know how I do.
Danny,
Hmm, yeah it looks like you don’t have any choice on where the “Logo” is printed when choosing that option.
I think your pre-print idea is a good one.
