New Aperture Book Hot Off the Presses - 519 pages of fun

Howdy,
For those of you interested in learning more about Aperture, Orlando Luna & Ben Long's book is out.
I've had it for about a week an a half & find it well written & very informative with many great details that have not previously been published about Aperture. The book comes with practice Project lessons on a DVD which meticulously take you through the application.
Learn how to create Metadata Sets, advance editing using the Histograms, streamline your workflow using Automator...
The book covers the 1.1 features also, like Boost, RAW fine tuning, Chroma blur...
love & peace,
victor

Erm,...that's what you think
We started using this book on Saturday the 6th of last week at Moviola and you're class started on Tuesday the 9th of this week so we beat you to it.
Actually, if you want to get technical about it we have been teaching from this book (in PDF form 7 chapters except for the 1.1 stuff) at Moviola since January 2006.

Yes, 3 cheers for Ben & Orlando/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
Quote: "She said that her book does have a little more scripting in it for Automator and Applescript but basically it's the same."
The Automator section of Orlando & Ben's book made me a big fan of Automator. They include many Automator Actions for Aperture & Photoshop. Neeto stuff
Quote: "I don't think she's a pro photographer..."
There is no substitute for, "open it up all the way," "did you bring the fast film?," "stop it down," "bracket that," "what bulb setting are you using?" "who contaminated the fixer?...

    I am aware I am not using the latest version of Firefox. Bases on what I've read I'm not going to like the changes in the latest version and do not want to change versions until absolutely forced too.
    This problem occurs in safe mode, and with multiple profiles.
    I have seen some reports from other people saying they have the same problem.

    If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

    super keyword is used when there is inheritance (class extending other class). In your particular case, super keyword doesn�t make sense, since there isn�t inheritance between A and B. You can use the INT field by an instance of A class.
    a keyword like "parent" does not exist in java.

    My Mac Book Pro changes the saved home page each time I open Safari.  I am also getting random tabs opening with various "cleaning up" my computer junk.
    How do I get rid of this?  I tried some of the fixes listed but they don't seem to work or I am doing something wrong.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • How come I can print off the Apple support page but not of my note book i n documents.

    How come I can print off the Apple support page but not off of note pad in my documents.

    No. It is not free unless the phone was originally purchased less than 90 days ago or you have an active AppleCare agreement.
    Where did you get the phone? This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

  • Why is the new iMac so hot to the touch????

    Was just at Best Buy checking out the new 27" iMac pentium i5's. Why are they so darn hot to the touch? Is this normal? How can that be a good thing?
    I need to know because this is the only thing preventing me from purchasing one.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    If the heat you notice on one machine at Best Buy is the "only" thing preventing you from purchasing, then my best suggestion to you is to let it go.
    You know that every computer produces heat. Some dissipate it better than others... some just differently.
    Some create more heat than others because the processors demand more energy to perform their intensive tasks properly. The 27" iMac is such a machine. Not only is it required to do all the things any other iMac might do, it's designed to do it faster AND to while driving a big, beautiful 27" display.  Any processor that can do that is gonna get hot.
    Relax.  If you like the machine and what it offers, and if you can afford it, buy it.  You know Apple will stand behind it for a year... and if you want the added comfort of 2 extra years of support, you can drop the $ for AppleCare.
    Are you happy with the iMac you have?  The new one was designed by the same great team of engineers.

  • Why does my computer freeze on Yahoo home page downloads and how do I shut off the Mozilla support page ?

    When I try to download an article on Yhaoo home page the download freezes the computer and I have to use the " control alt delete " keys to turn off the download and get the computer running again.

    Update Your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 17.0.1
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • I need to sync an iPhone 3GS to a new Mac book air. The phone is currently synched with a machine running windows xp. Is this possible ?

    I bought my wife a Mac book air to replace her windows lap top and want to sync her  IPhone 3GS  to her new computer. The phone is currently synced to a machine running windows xp. Is this possible ?

    Did a bit more research on this and moving iTunes isn't enough.  You will only get the iTunes library and not data like contacts, etc.  You should take both computers to the apple store.  They will migrate your data  from one to the other for you.

  • I got a new iPhone and handed off the old 4 to my daughter- how do I separate my phone from hers on iTunes?

    I just got a 5s and gave my young daughter my 4. I need to sync both on my computer as her Chrome book doesn't support iTunes. So- how do I get my computer to recognize that these are devices being used by two different people and stop syncing my pics to her phone? I tried setting up iTunes under her login on my computer and tried resetting the iPhone 4 with all of her info but when I just looked at her phone, every picture I take is going to hger photo stream.

  • How do I get my CS3 to run on my new Mac Book Pro? The License seems to be tied to my older mac.

    I have an old iMac, with my Adobe Suite on it. I am now using a MacBook Pro Retina as my primary computer and can not get my Photoshop CS3 to run on it.
    The license seems to be tied to my old iMac. How do I get this to work? ---without spending more $$ THANKS!

    Try Adobe's serial number chat first.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html
    Also if you can't find your old serial number and only have the CS3 upgrade serial, Adobe can bypass this using a "challenge code".
    Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
    Good luck, let me know if that solved it.

  • How do I get off the mozilla support page?

    I don't have any "x" or "+" at the right top corner of this page. How do I minimize or "x" out of this page?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
    You should be able to close a tab via the Ctrl+W shortcut.
    If this is the only tab then first open a new tab (Ctrl+T) to prevent closing Firefox.
