In this latest installment of the Aperture 3 file management guide, we will look closer at metadata, keywords and why you should use them. These are difficult concepts for newcomers as the benefits are not immediately apparent, especially if you have traditionally worked with folders to organize your data.
I got a lot of reader feedback very shortly after the last article was published (Part 2: Importing!) since there seems to be a lot of confusion about file referencing and what it actually means. This article, named part 2.5: File Referencing, is meant as an addition to the Aperture File Management series but as a supplement and not really as a standalone part as it only contains information, not a a tutorial.
Working with any Digital Asset Management Platform (DAMP) like Aperture 3, Lightroom 3 and others is, in my opinion, a one way street. The problem is also as you fill your database with photos, it becomes more difficult to make changes retroactively. Because of this, it is best to set up your DAMP the way you want from the very beginning. Since I chose Aperture 3 I will go through the power of Aperture in any respect over a four part article. This is part 1:Basics. Essentially we will go through all the basics and presets you can set in order to automate importing and organizing your Photo library in the best way.
I went out and by chance a medical helicopter landed near the beach I was at with my family. I decided this would be a good approach for a tutorial or how-to.If you do a google search for helicopter shots, there are tons that show the helicopter frozen in place with the rotors absolutely pin sharp, in mid air. It does not look natural. So how do we change that?
The initial idea actually came from a friend of mine who told me that it would look cool to light up a dark road at night with a car and photograph it.
