Do you find yourself consistently applying the same “look” to your photos in Aperture? For example, you always increase saturation, lower exposure, recover highlights, etc.? If so, then consider saving those as a preset and applying at the time of import to save a step down the road.

How to Import Multiple Cards Simultaneously and Bypass Thumbnail Generation on Import in Aperture 3

Recently I met with Jeff Cable, Olympic photographer and Lexar Marketing Director, to put Aperture head-to-head with Photo Mechanic for his (and every other Olympic photographer’s) extremely time constrained workflow. The end result was nothing short of epic, cutting the import, select, edit and export time by one third. With this new super-fast import method, and Aperture’s built-in editing tools, allowing Photo Mechanic loyalists to bypassing the Camera RAW –> Photoshop –> Photo Mechanic roundtrip delay, there’s no reason any shooter on deadline shouldn’t be switching to Aperture immediately.
