Tip:Discover Aperture 2 & find the hidden Treasures a quick way in producing a simple layout for the client or very useful for the web…Aperture’s Book option come in very handy for other things besides creating stunning looking books.
Screenshot above:
Marked with red the drop down menus for Themes,
Set Master Page and Book Action (there you find the
Auto flow unplaced images) and the Print option where
you find the Preview (use this for the Screenshot)
and all the other pdf formats you ever going to need.
Play
around with the Book option, even if you don’t
produce a complete Book right now and you find there
are a lot of things you can do, use a small number of
images first and experiment.
Lets call it “Discover
Aperture & find the hidden
Treasures”
Lets be honest, with most applications you have to
experiment a bit and soon you discover things which
you cant find in the Help menu.
Open Aperture and select the images you like for your
“Book” then click the Book Icon pick a Theme (the
screenshot shows the Stock Book
Black) and
if you in a hurry choose Auto flow
unplaced images and you are almost done, click
Print “Book” and select Preview.
Now I did a simple Screen shot with the ever so handy
and very cool Snapz Pro X and it was done
Not a high end out put but something you might need
for reasons explained above a handy and quick layout,
great for email attachments or blogs, etc.
Attach this to your Mail or
use it for your Web or Blog
pages
These are only simple tips in case
you have a need for them, my advise is experiment a
bit and you find Aperture 2
has a lot more usages
then you think. But never leaving Aperture is for me
a real plus and very handy if you are on the road
with limited time, after all we should spend more
time shooting. Of course you can get very serious and
have all the pdf options at you disposal and create
some very cool professional looking Books.
Have fun and enjoy,
