Aperture 3, Too Sharp? Tweak the Default

If I have one image quality issue with Aperture it’s that it’s sometimes too sharp. Which is kind of ironic if you have ridden the digital wave as I have going back to the Nikon D1 and D1x. Those camera’s raws were never too sharp. Cut to 2010/2011 and a Canon 1Ds Mark III’s raw [...]

By Jon Roemer On 10 Nov ’10 · Leave a Comment

Apple released the 10.6.5 update today. I needed to edit a job and export a web gallery both of which I did after updating.
