What is the best way to upload photos to sites that don't have aperture upladers like
Google + and 500px?
Do you have to export them first, then use the “browse your computer” button to find them on the desktop (how I would try it) or can you locate them just navigating through the files (not sure where to look/what file names are which pictures).
Rob,
Yes, just exporting the images, using the website uploader, and then throwing away the exports when done is probably the most straight forward. If you build a preset in Aperture for the size (and even watermark if you like) that you want for that site, and name it appropriately (i.e. “Google+ uploads”), it’ll be really easy to ensure you export and upload consistent photos.
Alternatively, if you are using previews and sharing previews [screenshot] then whenever you open the file browser (any open dialog), you’ll have access to your Aperture library [screenshot]. Keep in mind that this will upload photos at whatever size your previews are set to (by default, 50% of the original size). Although to be honest, I think the first option is easier!
