It's always a good idea to refresh your knowledge of Aperture, and with every new resource there may be little nuggets of information that you weren't aware of to help with your workflow. I recently came across a series of.... Steve Simon 2009-02-05T05:48:30-08:16

It was somewhat unexpected but Apple released on Monday (January 26, 2009) a 2.66MB update to its iLife Media Browser. The media browser is the "link" that allows different iLife apps to easily and conveniently access media such as photos,.... Dominique James 2009-01-27T10:48:48-08:19

For a long time, I didn't use Aperture's HUDs (otherwise known as 'floating palettes' in all previous applications...) all that often. As time goes past I find myself using them more and more often - especially after Aperture 2 came.... Ian Wood 2009-01-26T09:48:56-08:20

When it comes to highlight recovery, Aperture is a very powerful tool. When I first started shooting digital, I was under the impression that digital exposure was like exposing slide film of old, better be accurate and err on the.... Steve Simon 2009-01-22T09:48:36-08:22

By lucky, I mean those fortunate souls who are using Nikon's new flagship SLR the D3X. The mega-megapixel camera is now supported by Aperture. But you may need to upgrade to some of the new Mac's out today which promise.... Steve Simon 2009-03-03T09:48:42-08:10

Recently, I had some trouble synchronizing images shot from with three different digital cameras when I imported them into Lightroom. As it turned out one of my cameras was not set to the correct time or time zone and this.... Michael Clark 2009-02-05T11:19:08-08:14

Every year the cherry trees flower in the cultivated areas of the hills of California's coastal range, and of course I am impelled to photograph the blossoms. This season the cherry trees are flowering a tad early, like everything else in California in 2009. My thought was to create a simple image of cherry blossoms against a white background. The....

As a Photoshop instructor and author, I need to be skilled at using both Mac and Windows machines. And like most of my Photoshop instructor friends, I use a stylus and a tablet for maximum brush control. For my Mac, I use a Mac Book Pro, and I tote my WACOM table everywhere I go. For my Windows machine, I use the Lenovo W700 Think Pad. What's especially cool about this machine is that is has a built-in tablet and stylus. How cool is that..

A single image can intimate the before, and the after, and resonate with events to come. This sense of time is what gives many photographic images their power. My process of working on photos after they've been taken is.... Harold Davis 2009-01-31T11:19:08-08:18

Between committments at Macworld at the Moscone Center I wandered over and indulged my dome photography habit by photographing the dome in the Westfield shopping mall in downtown San Francisco. I believe the dome itself is antique, but it's placed in an entirely modern shopping mall. Cameo, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger. It's easy with most domes....
