February 14, 2015 - 9:00pm

I’m going to kick off the “non-Aperture, non-Photos” posts with something crazy advanced. Luminosity masks are not for the faint of heart, but once you get your head around them, WOW you can do amazing things. I’m not going to try to teach you this stuff — I barely get it myself! — but I am going to point you in the right direction.

With Photos for OS X now a known commodity, this site has to change again. I wish I could avoid it but this is inevitable. Read on to see what that means.

Photos… What It Is, What It Isn't, What It Shall Be

Photos for OS X is – and isn’t – a lot of things. It is an awesome app, but it isn’t an Aperture replacement. That much we speculated in advance, and now we know it to be certain. So the big question is… will it ever be? And how will this site evolve to support that answer?

Great Spot Retouching in "Photo Editor+" by Axiem

One of my most missed features from iPhoto for iOS is the retouching brush. Often I want to remove a little blemish from a photo, and Photos for iOS doesn’t have this. I recently discovered “Photo Editor+” by Axiom, and while it’s a complete editing tool, the retouching brush is the one thing I want to focus on here.

Really Smart Photos with onOne and Aperture

By Tim Kennedy

December 24, 2014 - 9:00pm

The advantage of Aperture’s Round Trip is that it keeps all your work packaged up neatly in an easy-to-handle Library. One of the disadvantages is that many of the plug-ins that work with Aperture’s Library also fix their results permanently upon exit. If you wish to go back and tweak later, you’re stuck with starting over with your last Aperture version. The latest version of onOne Software's Perfect Photo Suite 9 aims to address that.
