It
is amazing what you find or have forgotten when you
do some more editing in Aperture a few weeks later.
Remember my recent trip to Mumbai India for
the Apple
Aperture 2 World Tour.
During my stay
at the Hotel I noticed these Apples on this small
Table, I thought…hey not bad, the light, the
reflection and I guess the relationship between the
words Apple and Apples, I shot this scene right in
front of me using only the available light from the
window.
Then in Aperture
2 I used
only the Raw conversion, the straighten tool, a
little cropping and applied some sharpening.
So there
you have it…real fresh Apples from Mumbai
India.

window
This shot was taken few
minutes later while sitting on my bed and looking
towards the window, a straight shot I might add…and I
didn’t move the furniture either, no manipulation in
Photoshop, again using only the Raw converter
in Aperture
2, the
straighten tool, a little cropping and some
sharpening.

Black & White image below…

the Monochrome mixer.

APERTURE 2 Tip...where do I find my Camera info...this is nice if You like to compare DATA...very cool & not only for the Pro's...
A cool
little Aperture 2 Tip...
Where
do you find at a push of a button YOUR Camera Info
when you like to compare your shots after the shoot
in Aperture
2.1
See the provided screen shot below, the small drop
down menu (small
red circle) is where you find
...Show and
Hide Camera & Color info...the
red
oval shows you the data, you
have to be in the adjustment mode/panel.
This is very useful when comparing shots, what might
have gone wrong or right...You can also move your
Cursor over the image to get the color Value in
between the images, the grey area will show you the
Camera info. Play around and you find this is a very
useful addition in Aperture
2.
You can also move your cursor over your Thumbnails...
for those of you who are still in the early stage of
Photography this command is great for analyzing your
images quickly.
Try it out and have some fun...Aperture is not only
great for the Pro's but it can help you to take
better images by quickly finding out what went wrong
or right.
