Capture NX level noise reduction in Aperture - how close can you get?

Searching the forum for NX, it seems most posters agree that Capture NX noise reduction beats Aperture.
But let's assume that I really want to use Aperture instead for my D300 NEF files - because of Aperture's better UI, catalogue abilities and all that.
Does anyone have any easy guide with steps to take in Aperture to best do noise reduction? Can one get even remotely close to what NX can achieve?
Or should one resign and use both applications in parallel?

The noise reduction facility in Aperture is basic at best. If you can be patient, we're assured that very soon there's to be a Noise Ninja plug-in for Aperture. This will do a much better job I would expect.

Things i had to set manually;
1) Keyboard layout, because it defaults to US
2) Two mouse keys don't work had to manually set, Emulate3Buttons defaults on (wanted it off)
3) "VideoOverlay" is off by default (or is not auto detected)
3) needed to set DPI to 96
4) needed to set color to 24 (defaulted to 8?)
apart from that, the auto detection is vastly improving IMO.
The main premise behind this, is to debate the auto detection capabilities of hardware by xorg.

How close can i get to a "Windows only" box

hi all,
i am considering my options for purchasing new mac hardware and i am trying to wrap my head around my new configuration. i am trying to simplify so any help from the gurus would be really welcome.
i may want to buy a new high end MBP laptop and use it as my only mac computer a kind of "desktop but can travel" computer - i would plug it into the monitor and use it while at the desk and then take it on the road with me when i go to the coffee shop. i may also get a netbook mini mac air to carry with me on a regular basis when i have to do something not so convenient to do on the iPhone.
can i turn my "first generation" 2006 Mac Pro into a windows only box? i am thinking that i would like to do this in order to avoid having to clutter up the new MBP with partitions - but also these boot camp installations are all set up and i am storing a lot of data in this machine anyway in bay 3 and bay 4.
basically, i currently have a boot camp installation of Windows XP on this machine (on partition on drive in bay 1) and i also have a boot camp installation of Windows 7 (on partition on drive in bay 2) on this machine. i am imagining almost totally wiping out or as near as is humanly possible minimizing the LION OS that is on there currently so i can use the laptop as my primary computer.
i would then STORE data on the drive in bay 3 and the drive in bay 4
i'm also considering buying a SSD drive for the drives in bay 1 and 2 to get windows to perform optimally but realistically i am not sure what is possible for me to do so i am open to suggestions.
THANKS

hi eric. are you guys saying that just using the box for windows is a waste and i should incorporate it into whatever new setup i have?
i am pretty much ditching vm's due to the non-native performance which is an issue for me. i realize the performance gets a boost with a more powerful machine but i just want to run native OS's from here on out.

HOW CLOSE CAN BEHRINGER TRUTH B2031A SPEAKERS BE TO A 2013 IMAC WITH FUSION DRIVE?

How close can you put studio speakers (specifically Behringer truth b2031a) to a 2013 imac? I know the speakers are sheilded but is it still safe right next to the computer? Will the fusion drive inside or a external be affected by the speakers? Anyone who has knowledge or experience in this topic your information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This was a concern expressed in this thread: Worrying reply to Apples FAQ on new Fusion Drive
However, Apple has since amended the FAQ, clarifying their earlier Fusion confusion.
Therefore I believe the answer is yes, you can add an external USB HD. If Apple would only state that explicitly in this document, it would eliminate all doubt.

How much can you customize Professional level storefronts?

I know that you need to be an Enterprise user to have completely customized storefronts, but how much can you customize Professional user storefronts? What do they look like? Most magazines I've seen are Enterprise level

With a Professional account, you cannot customize the storefront. If you create a subscription app, you can specify subscription tiles and indicate with subscription durations are available, but that's about it.

How can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

We need the Request Restart ability when scheduling a single reoccurring job in Redwood. Most of our jobs are scheduled in CHAINs which offers the Final Status Handler on Step level, and the schedule is "paused" when a job in the CHAIN has failed ( the next instance does not populate until the OP MSG has been Replied to) , and once the OPERATOR message is replied to, the CHAIN can resume running again ( desired ) . But we need this same ability when scheduling a single job not in a CHAIN. In our testing, we set up a job with Request Restart chosen on the Error , Killed and Unknown selections on the Restart Behavior Tab. But we found when a job is scheduled say once a day at 8AM, and when it fails, an OPERATOR msg appears allowing a Restart choice ( desired), but the next day's schedule also populates ( undesired) and we do NOT want the schedule to continue on yet because we need a chance to fix the error before the next insance runs for business reasons. So how can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

Hello Fran,
You can wrap the job chain in a master job chain in the first step and set the final status handler there.
You can also set the Restart Behavior to 'Stop Submit Frame', in that case you will have to resubmit the job once you are finished troubleshooting.
Regards Gerben

The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs. You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.

When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
Quit Disk Utility
Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.

When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

It is the same in the latest version 7.0.2. You can shut off the saving and auto filling of passwords by clicking in the menu bar at the top Safari > Preferences and then select Autofill and uncheck the passwords box. Also check the next pane as well.

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?
