It was reported some time ago that many Aperture users were seeing strange lines on their images after exporting to JPG.

The fix seems to… read moreSomething new for Canon shooters

I’ve been shooting with the Canon EOS 20D and 30D for quite a while now and I do a lot of sports shooting. While I think these camera bodies are great performers for the money I do have a few features on my wish list… especially for sports shooting. I’ve… read moreFebruary 18 2007
I recently discovered another great use for the Auto-Stack feature in Aperture. I was shooting a large regional swim meet and wanted to make sure I didn’t miss any critical shots, but I could not get a second a shooter go with me to the event.

“It’s the photographer that takes the picture, not the camera” This is a very popular saying, and a lot of people agree with it ….. but I’m going to play devil’s advocate and take the opposite opinion tonight.

One of the things I like to do on this blog is to discuss features in Aperture that I’ve recently discovered or perhaps just started using.
