Aperture 3, Too Sharp? Tweak the Default

By Jon Roemer On 14 Jan ’11 · Leave a Comment

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 [...]

Aperture 3 at the Mac App Store new in 10.6.6.

Aperture 3 – Practically Free

By Jon Roemer On 6 Jan ’11 · Leave a Comment

Apple launched the Mac App Store today, a way to purchase software and apps to run on your desktop or laptop. It will be interesting to see if this is the nail in the coffin of buying software in physical packages; the way MP3′s, iPods, and iTunes have killed CD’s.

It turns out [...]

Mac OS 10.6.5 + Aperture 3.1 = Big Speed Jump

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.

The update lists one improvement as, “address[ing] performance of some image-processing operations in iPhoto and Aperture.” That may be an understatement… the web gallery is currently churning out at [...]

Aperture 3.1

By Jon Roemer On 21 Oct ’10 · Leave a Comment

Apple released a big update to Aperture yesterday on the heals of their iLife ’11, Lion, and MacBook Air announcements. The update promises a host of bug fixes, speed improvements, and compatibility upgrades for the new iLife.

I updated last night. It does require that you update your database. So, I would recommend a [...]

Thank You for Coming to Loews

By Jon Roemer On 18 Oct ’10 · Leave a Comment

Sit back and relax; enjoy the show!

Or so went the jingle at every Loews theater, before every screening, in New York City in the late 80′s. It was best sung in a loud falsetto and it always got laughs from the audience.

Long before this though Loews had another chain with different [...]

New Studio Part III

By Jon Roemer On 7 Oct ’10 · 2 Comments

Last Thursday, just as that huge rain storm was bearing up the east coast, the SIP panels for the new studio arrived. SIPs are Structural Insulated Panels, a building process which uses rigid insulation sandwiched between sheets of structural board (most often oriented strand board.) No studs, joists, or rafters are needed, typical [...]

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

By Jon Roemer On 5 Oct ’10 · Leave a Comment

Shot about two weeks ago in Philly on a sunny day (remember those?) – a story for the AARP Bulletin about a volunteer working in the Philadelphia public schools. The client requested that I shoot more in the vein of my personal work. So, while we brought lights just in case I worked without them [...]

Barely Seen

By Jon Roemer On 26 Sep ’10 · 1 Comment

Earlier this week I licensed images from an ’09 assignment to a new client. It offered the opportunity to revisit and rework the photos with Aperture 3′s processing engine.

The images:
