Great NEWS for Photographers & Aperture 2 users...MobileMe, if you are a current .Mac member, your account will be automatically upgraded to MobileMe in July… more integration than ever.
Now Apple announced a few days ago a new Internet service called MobileMe - taking the best of .Mac and adding a host of new features. As a current .Mac member, your account will be automatically upgraded to MobileMe in July.
For a closer look, watch the MobileMe Guided Tour
Now is the time to sign up for the latest Mobile technology with MobileMe…. if you a current Mac account holder don’t worry your account will be upgraded automatically.
But here is the very cool part, if you are a Photographer and Aperture 2 user then you going to love this…double the online storage. To give you plenty of space for your email, photos, and other files, MobileMe doubles your storage from 10GB to 20GB for an individual subscription.
Individual subscription storage doubles from 10GB to 20GB.
If you purchased a storage upgrade, it will also be upgraded at no additional charge:
* A 10GB storage upgrade is now 20GB. Your new total storage will be 40GB.
* A 20GB storage upgrade is now 40GB. Your new total storage will be 60GB.
Mac integration you know and love. With MobileMe, you'll continue to enjoy features that take advantage of seamless integration with Mac OS X and iLife - Back to My Mac; access to your iDisk in the Finder; Mac-to-Mac syncing of Dock items, preferences, and more; iWeb site publishing; and photo and movie sharing directly from iPhoto '08 and iMovie '08.
In the meantime, if you have any questions about the upcoming transition from .Mac to MobileMe, please visit the MobileMe FAQ.
iPHOTO and APERTURE 2 do we need them both? You bought a new Mac… iLIFE installed do we really need iPhoto as professional Photographers? I do…

The
Colors of Mumbai
Click
on
The Colors of Mumbai for a small
sample what you can do in just a few minutes, I
really mean minutes
not hours. Created
entirely on a Mac Book Pro with Aperture
2...GarageBand...iPhoto & iMovie. I have kept the
file fairly small for those of you with a slow
connection of course you can make this much bigger
and have a nice presentation in no time...even when
you on the road. P.S. the
Music has been composed using the Magic GarageBand
setup which took only a few
minutes.
All
of us have these happy family snaps; images of
friends and parties, now is the time (for me) to
use
iPhoto,
keep my personal images separate from my pro work.
But that’s not all I use iPhoto for some of my email,
websites and Blogs very handy indeed and
keeping Aperture
2 for my
pro workload, a nice tidy setup.
Occasional my friends or family members ask me to
store or sort out their personal images, yes I could
do this in Aperture
2 very
easy but my preference is to use iPhoto for this
personal stuff. This has been working very well for
me since most of the time the images from friends,
family, web and blogs are in JPG anyway.
I have found a very nice and efficient way to use
both applications and because of the superb
integration on the Mac I have access to iPhoto
in Aperture
2.1 anyway, plus keeping the
business separate from the private images.
iLife
is not only
iPhoto, you have iTunes, Garageband, iMovie, iDVD
& iWeb it is a whole package, now it is up to you
how to apply each and every one of them, been so
integrated you end up using them all, like I do for
some cool presentations.
What
about iWorks and Aperture 2…stay tuned and find out
soon.

Deadlines,
deadlines and more deadlines…the last minute changes
by editors or the production staff from magazines… an
all to familiar story.
Take this very recent case; I submitted images from
Tibet for a story in the Asian Geographic Magazine,
the first images where in low resolution…for
selection purpose.
Weeks went by and yesterday the shout for the
high-resolution images came in…
”we need them today”… OK. No problems…I
got Aperture
2 and
since all my high and low resolution images are
stored in my Aperture Library I quickly selected the
“CHOSEN ONES” had them up for downloading on a
New .Web
Gallery with username and
password…that was last night. (see the email
correspondence below)
Today I received the email below…do I have to say
anything else? I guess not…once the story is out this
month I let you have a preview until then…if you need
your images out there fast from one publisher to
another, use the Web Gallery
in Aperture 2, so easy now and happy
faces at the production department.
