The Live Training videos have been a great project, but I ran out of things to talk about long ago. So, I’m bundling them all together, and starting over.
This is the complete *original* Aperture Live Training series, which started with Session 001 “Importing your Photos” in 2011 and concluded with Session 025 “SmugMug” in 2014!
If you have multiple images (a few… dozens… hundreds!) with the same sensor dust problem, you can easily batch fix them all using the Lift & Stamp command—even if you’ve rotated and cropped the photos.
We’re now selling Scott Davenport’s amazing AppleScript that allows you to copy your painstakingly created mask from one Adjustment into another. Wait, what? Yeah, that’s right… wait ‘till you get a load of this.
Have you ever laboriously created a mask for one adjustment, such as Curves, then wished you could copy that mask to another adjustment, like Levels? Now you can.
Using a shared Photo Stream’s “like” function as a way of having friends or family tag images can have some clever uses, however Aperture makes part of the workflow a little messy. Fortunately, iPhoto can step in and make the process a little cleaner.
If you’re new to Aperture, the question of “how do I scale images” may not be terribly obvious. It happens on export, using “Image Export Presets”, and this tip explains everything you need to know.
