Highlight Hot & Cold Areas… Command-drag or Toggle?

A reader in the forum asked a great question today, and I thought I’d post it here as a tip.

Dan asked:

On the training videos you use the hot/cold feature to show blown highlights and blocked shadows. To set the white point and black point in my photos, I press the command key when adjusting Exposure, Recovery and Black Point sliders. Is there a difference between the two methods or are they just different ways to reach the same goal?

I can neither confirm nor deny whether the ApertureExpert users who first reported and then confirmed this issue get credit for initially finding the bug, but I’m pleased to report that in near record time, Apple has released an update to the (disastrous serious actually not as bad as it seemed but still scary) issue where photos over the 1,000 Photo Stream limit would dissappear from Aperture — that is, the ones that were already automatically im

Why Do My Photos Look Different in Aperture Than They Did on the Camera LCD?

This question came up in the forum today, and I think it’s a great question that can cause a lot of confusion for people. So, I’m addressing it here as a “Tips” post.

“Why do my photos look different in Aperture than they did on the camera LCD?”, and the equally pertinent and confusing “Why do my photos look like they did in the camera for just a few seconds, then change before my eyes in Aperture?”

What you see on the back of the camera is not the RAW file, but is in fact a small JPG file that the camera produces and embeds into the RAW file for this precise viewing purpose. The camera isn’t capable of decoding the RAW file to preview on the back of the LCD (if you think about how quickly you can scroll through hundreds of photos on the LCD, versus how long it takes to do the same thing in Aperture or in the Finder, that will make sense), so instead it shows you the small JPEG photo.
