New ApertureExpert Adjustment Presets

I just put the finishing touches on two new preset packs! I’ll add them to the store later, but for now, those of you who just happen to stroll by here can get ‘em right away!

Looks #2

The first is the long-awaited “Looks #2” pack. The original Looks pack is still the most popular one, and this expands on that. Some presets from the first pack have been tweaked and improved, and there are some completely new ones as well. There’s a small sample set below.

Add to Cart $4.99

Split Tones

The second pack is a series of split tones. What are split tones, you ask? It’s when you take a B&W image and make the shadows one color and the highlights another. It’s a really cool effect, and this pack includes nine starting points. As you might imagine, the final results are very image dependent, so you’ll want to play with these presets after applying to get the optimum look.

Add to Cart $4.99

As expected, an update to Aperture, (3.2.3) has dropped allowing us to delete individual images from the Photo Stream. Other than “minor issues related to performance and stability”, there are no other stated changes.

I’ve updated mine, and I’ve successfully deleted single photos from Aperture’s Photo Stream.

Google+ Hangout Test Tonight

Hi all,

I’m going to run a little test with Google+ Hangout tonight, and I’d love it if you can stop by. I’m looking at this as a way to replace my GoToWebinar for my Live Trainings, which is awesome but costs a LOT of money per year to run. Hangouts now allow you to share your screen, and also allow a couple of things you can’t do with GoToWebinar — namely, share just a portion of my screen, show my face (which I’ve had to work around), and also to let me see and talk to you!

I recently added an Aperture FAQ to the site! This FAQ strives to answer the most commonly asked questions about Aperture maintenance, which I compiled over a couple of years of running this site.

Even if your Library is working perfectly now, it can’t hurt to skim through here… you never know what you might learn!

iOS 5.1 Update Adds Photo Stream Delete

If you are a Photo Stream user, you have probably felt the frustration of not being able to delete a single photo from your Photo Stream without resetting the entire thing. Whether it’s an accidental picture of the floor or an embarrassing shot from last night’s party, it was frustrating to see your 1,000 image Photo Stream clogged with photos you don’t want to see.
