Comment on Aperture 3 File Management, Part 1:Basics! (Aperture 3 File Management made easy) by gringo

Found this fascinating and followed it like gospel, until I found that even deleted files remained in the masters file I created and nothing in Aperture would remove them from my drive. Not a great space saver that way.

Yeah, sad isn’t it? We are close to SIX MONTHS of CCPro2 having been incompatible. If only Nikon had some idea beforehand that Apple was releasing an update to their system software…[/sarcasm].

Really, Nikon?

Un-freaking-believable.

Comment on Aperture 3 File Management, Part 2:Importing! (Aperture 3 import presets made easy) by Xavier

Sounds great! I’m still trying to decide if I should choose a referenced or managed structure. Your explanation sounds solid though. One think I was wondering about is how you deal with situations in which you want to move a project to a different map, split it or things like that in aperture. Do you (have to) change the organisation of your files outside aperture?
Many thanks!

Comment on Explained! Photography Flash Guide Numbers GN (mystery resolved!) by Tony Luxton

Hi Alex,

It’s to do with the inverse square law, as you double the distance from the light source the the amount of light falling on the illuminated subject falls to a quarter.

If you double the sensor sensitivity from 100 to 200 you can increase the distance by the square root of 2 (approx 1.4) ie the GN goes up by 1.4x, if you quadruple the ISO from 100 to 400 as in the example then you can double the distance ie the GN is doubled.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Tony

I cant get Camera Control 2 to work with Lion. Has anyone else figured out how to get it to work or do we just have to wait for Nikon to update the software?

Hi Joe,
did you find a solution to your mobile-home synchronisation and master storage problem? I’am very interested in this point as well.

Best,
Thomas

Thanks for this clear explanation. One query-you mention the ISO increases of a stop equate to a doubling of the GN. Wouldnlt an ISO incvreas be 100>200 then 200>400 rather than 100>400 as you have listed above?

Fantastic! Thanks for the tip.. This is the simplest way and no extra programs needed. I don’t understand why iPhoto doesn’t display the same info.
