Peeps who use Aperture (This means you, Lynnette :D)
So I finally purchased and installed Aperture last month. It took me a few days to get everything imported, get my folders organized (eh, still have some work to do there), get my keywords all set, and learn how to get around. I have to say that I am loving it! I enjoy editing my photos in Aperture so much more than PS! I do pull them in to PS for additional edits sometimes, but mostly I'm loving what I get straight from Aperture.
So, my question is . . . has anyone found a great place to get presets? Or do you have any links to awesome tips/tricks for Aperture? I want to make sure I'm using all the awesomeness that's available to me. What I really wish I had is presets that mirror some of my M4H actions. That would make my life complete. Just might have to see if I can create my own. That would be a lot of work, though. Hmm.

I'm going to be watching this thread. I'm on the fence between Aperture and LR (which I currently am using). I really don't care for iPhoto and haven't figured out how to move all my photos over to something else.
On my PC, I just used a folder system. But on a Mac, it's a whole new ballgame and I want to come up with the most effective, organized system. lol (hehe snicker, snicker - laughing at myself). |

You rang?
Actually, I wish I had a better answer for you because I don't actually use presets in Aperture - didn't use them in Lightroom either. I always do my basic editing in Aperture and then use RadLab in Photoshop for any special editing which is probably not the fastest method but I love my Totally Rad actions too much to give them up. I do know if you google for Aperture presets there are ones that come up - whether they're good or not, I don't know. As far as tips, these are two Aperture blogs I've looked at and it looks like they both sell presets too: http://www.apertureexpert.com/ http://theapertureblog.com/ Lynda.com also has an Aperture 3 class if you want something more in-depth with video: http://www.lynda.com/Aperture-3-tuto...g/59221-2.html Hope that helps and if you guys have other questions, let me know. |

So do you do some edits in Aperture then send them to Photoshop so that the edits you do there show up on a new version of the photo in Aperture? And, do you always create a new version of a photo before you start editing or do you just lay your initial edits right on top of the master image?
Thanks for those blog links. I know I still have a lot to learn.

See I never used LR for editing either. I do all my editing in ACR and with my PS actions (TRA included!!).
But I'm looking for a nicer way to import from my camera/phone, rather than using iPhoto. |
