Sometimes
it is so confusing and difficult to learn or master
something NEW,
we are so set in our ways and I cant blame you.
But believe me to get of your normal path and try
some thing New can be very rewarding, or even more
profitable for your business.
Recent articles from the Beijing Olympics seem to
prove just that, check them out at AUN or at O’Reilys
interesting observations from the Pros at the worlds
biggest sporting event.

Below are some
very common terms used through out Aperture and in
Digital Photography today.
Adobe RGB
(1998) A commonly used
color profile often used for printing. Many
professional labs request that image files be
delivered in this color space.
sRGB
A common working space
designed to represent the average PC monitor. Because
of its small gamut, it is suitable for Web graphics
but not for print production.
Adjustments
HUD A heads-up
display, or floating panel of contextual controls,
that enables adjustments to be applied to images.
hue
An attribute of color
perception, also known as color phase. Red and blue
are hues.
EXIF
Short for Exchangeable
Image File. The standard format for storing
information about how an image was shot, such as
shutter speed, aperture, white balance, exposure
compensation, metering setting, ISO setting, date,
and time.
HUD
Heads-up display: a
floating panel with various options. Different HUDs
can adjust levels, increase brightness, modify color
temperature, assign keywords, straighten horizons, or
make any other adjustments.
ICC profile
Created as a result of
device characterization, an ICC profile contains the
data about a device’s exact gamut.
IPTC Short for
International Press Telecommunications Council. IPTC
metadata is used by photographers and media
organizations to embed keywords in the image files
themselves. Large publishers typically use image
managementsystems to quickly identify images based on
their IPTC information.
metadata
Data
describing other data,
including image files. Databases use metadata to
track specific forms of data. Aperture automatically
extracts all industry-standard EXIF and ITPC metadata
when importing images and also allows metadata such
as copyright, captions, and keywords to be added.
RAW
The original
bit-for-bit uncompressed digital image file captured
by a camera. Aperture works with RAW images through
every step of the digital workflow and supports the
RAW formats from all leading digital camera
manufacturers.
