Aperture 1.0.1 Update
 |
Apple announced the release of the Aperture 1.0.1 update today, available for immediate download. Given some of the well-documented troubles that the intial release had, the update is not a surprise, but Apple definitely deserves credit for getting it out in a hurry, less than a month after the release of Aperture 1.0 |
Apple Aperture 1.0
|
|
One of the most eagerly anticipated digital photography events of the last few months has been the release of Aperture, Apple’s first foray into "pro-level" digital photography software. Not intended as a Photoshop replacement, Aperture is nevertheless aimed at a good part of Photoshop’s feature set. Packing a raw converter, basic editing tools, and powerful cataloging functions, Apple hopes that Aperture will become the core of the professional photographer’s post-production workflow. For that to happen, though, the program needs a lot of changes. |
Use Smart Objects for Smarter Raw Workflow
 |
Raw files provide a tremendous amount of editing flexibility and control, but figuring out how to work efficiently with them can be difficult. While the great advantage of raw files is the ability to "develop" them using your raw converter, and then edit the results in Photoshop, once you’ve committed to a particular set of conversion settings, you’re stuck with that image unless you go back and re-process. Or are you? |
Priority Mode
A mode on a camera that allows you to set a specific exposure parameter. The camera then calculates the other exposure parameters accordingly. For example, in Shutter Priority mode, you select the shutter speed you want, and the camera picks a corresponding aperture, based on its metering of the scene (if your camera also has auto ISO, then ISO might be adjusted as well). Aperture priority allows you to specify an aperture. The camera will pick an appropriate shutter speed upon metering.
