It’s up! The latest Live Training, where I answered three key questions over 90 minutes (!!) is now online.

The questions were:

ApertureExpert not-so-Live Training Session 020

By PhotoJoseph

May 25, 2012 - 7:40pm

Oh brother… small problem.

Apparently Google+ Hangouts “On Air” are “not available in my country”. I’m in Austria right now and had no idea that this is something that would be limited this way.

So, no live broadcast.

Chalk one up for GoToWebinar then. I didn’t have this problem from them, for sure (did one broadcast from a hotel in Vietnam!).

Creating a Standard Project to Use on Every Shoot

By Thomas Boyd

May 24, 2012 - 3:00pm

As we all know, Aperture creates an empty library every time we start a new one. There’s no such thing as a “Project Preset”. This is a problem for many of use that like to create elaborate Projects that contain Smart Folders, Albums, Slideshows, Books and other useful things.

This is especially useful for people like me that routinely have audio attachments, video files, and stills on any given shoot. I also like to have five Smart Folders for every star rating.

Customizing the Tooltip in Aperture 3

By PhotoJoseph

May 21, 2012 - 12:00am

There’s a handy little popup available in Aperture that can give you all kinds of information about the file without having to open the metadata tab to view it. How to activate (or de-activate) this has come up a couple of times recently in the forum, so I thought I’d do a short post on it.

The Tooltip (menu: View > Metadata Display > Image Tooltips) pops up under your mouse when you pause over an image, like this:

Hello readers,

I was recently approached by Zenfolio and asked if I’d consider doing a review for them, as I’d recently done write-ups on other image hosting services. They granted me their top-tier, “Premium Business” account ($250 annual subscription fee; prices starting at $30) so I could have full reign of the services.

I had an unusual request from a client. They wanted me to photograph a fund-raiser party and have the photos projected onto a screen throughout the event. After doing it, I realized this would be a fun thing to do at parties, workshops, weddings, and other events.

This is the room where the images were projected.

VSCO Film Presets for Aperture 3 Getting Some User Love

By PhotoJoseph

May 16, 2012 - 12:00am

Two readers almost simultaneously posted User Tips on a preset pack called the VSCO Film Pack for Aperture 3. At $79 these presets aren’t cheap, but they include actual high resolution scans of real negative stock for their textures. I have asked the company what resolution the scans are, because as many of you know who’ve used my textured presets, there are hard limits to every preset.
