Printing out the Histogram #1

Is there anyway to print out the histogram for a picture along side the picture in a contact sheet.

Or failing that what is the best way to capture the histogram. I want to be able to print out the histogram next to the picture.

No simple way.

I would perhaps go into full-screen mode, with the hud showing the histogram and page through your images with the arrow keys, doing a screen-grab at each image (Cmd-Shft-3).

Once you’ve done that you’ll have a ton of grabs on your desktop. Import those into Aperture and I would print from there, either using the Books module to make yourself a re-usable template, or using the contact sheet template from the web-pages.

If you have a big enough monitor, the quality should be good enough for contacts.

Try Shift Command 4 for a print screen of the area you want. The curser changes to crop mark indicator so then just draw a box around want you want to print. You’ll have to figure out how you want to combine the histogram with the image to print. I dont know of any way to print what you want through Aperture print dialogue box, until the image is created outside of AP. You will have to combine the images using layers and then get it back into Aperture. Round tripping will work.

Sort of expected that might be the only way, to screen capture and save as a new image.

Shame you can’t just do it as part of printing of the photo data and EXIF details.

David,

you need to read my reply more carefully. ;) ;)

Full-screen in Aperture. Full-screen grab. Import grabs into Aperture. Print.

Ah yeah I see what you mean just have it sat it the corner of the picture at full screen then screen grab. That will do the trick.

Cheers

When I started typing to Steve there were zero replies to him but when I hit post yours appeared. I probably should of deleted mine, yours was more eloquent. Cheers
