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 – 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 [...]

iPhone War Coverage

By Jon Roemer On 22 Nov ’10 · Leave a Comment

I read over the front page of the New York Times as I ate my breakfast this morning wondering if Damon Winter had taken a medium format camera to the front lines in Afghanistan. His photos illustrate the article, Between Firefights, Jokes, Sweat, Tales and Tedium. Then I thought maybe it [...]

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.

One Balmy Night in Maine

By Jon Roemer On 11 Sep ’10 · Leave a Comment

We got back from Maine last Sunday, had the Labor Day holiday, and then hit the ground running. The kids started school on Tuesday and I got word of the need to do a client presentation on Friday morning.

The work would be multi-faceted, involving stills and video. In the way (so to speak) was [...]
