Platform: macOS

I just finished watching the WWDC 2013 keynote presentation, and I gotta say that iOS 7 looks pretty sweet. One of the big things that caught my eye of course was the new Photos app, and its showing of “Collections” and “Moments”. This is notably similar to the service Everpix.com, where your photos are automatically collected into, well, collections and moments, making it easy to find and a pleasure to browse your photos.

Things have been slow in Aperture-land, so here’s a little something to tide you over…

I’ve talked about backup a bunch in the past (just go to the Archives page and do a page text search for “backup”) which apparently got some attention; this infographic was sent along to me to consider sharing. It’s cute and relavent, so here you go. Enjoy!

Thanks @Gordito73 for catching this!

Hot on the tail of the Aperture 3.4.4 update is the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.05, including… wait for it… Fujifilm cameras!

yaaaaaaayyyyy (I can hear it from here)

Here’s the list:

I’ve received several messages asking about this in the last few weeks, so that means it’s time to write it up!

You may have at some point seen a notification badge show up on your Aperture icon, like you’d see on Mail or Messages, and wonder what it’s for. The simple answer is it’s from a Shared Photo Stream. Whenever someone “likes” or comments on a photo you’ve shared with them, you’ll get a notification anywhere you’ve enabled Photo Stream. That could be any iOS device on iOS 6, or it could also be in iPhoto or Aperture.

We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!

When you see the badge, if you open Photo Stream in Aperture you should see a blue dot on the Shared Photo Stream that has a notification, and if you open that, you’ll see blue dot(s) on the photos that have new likes or comments.[more]
