What are some things i need to know before buying Aperture 3? because i know a little about digital photography

Help please

Your Mac seems to be compatible with Aperture (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1657), but is your camera? Here is a list of cameras, that are supported by Aperture, see: Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
If your camera is not on the list, you can work in Aperture with jpegs, tiffs, psd images, but not with raw images.
because i know a little about digital photography
That is a bit ambigious - do you want to say that you have some experience with digital photography, or nearly none at all?  Have you tried iPhoto and do you like it? iPhoto comes on every newer mac included for free, so you could give it a try. Aperture and iPhoto are related, they are both supporting a lossless workflow - you can always undo all edits and your original images are preserved, and both are compatible. Each application can open the photl library of the other app.
Only Aperture has advanced editing tools and more possibilites to organize and search your images.
To elaborate on Kirby's question: To help you decide, it would help to know, if you have used any software for organizing a photo library previously, and and what you are looking for. If not, give iPhoto a trial run - it should be on your Mac. If you see, that you need more advanced features than the basic set in iPhoto, check, if Aperture will give you those and then buy Aperture. You can continue right where you left off in iPhoto.

    Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp.  Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke. 

  • What are the things we need to install on client desktop?

    Hi all
    I will need to install Peoplesoft Enterprise. However, for my part I will need to try to install it into serveral clients but connect it to a database. Which means that the main database is not in my com but in another com, is it possible that I can still install in my computer without a database and connect my com to the main com database? And I will also like to know what are the things I will need to install or configure into my computer which has no database. Such as do I need to configure PIA, WebLogic Server and etc. Can anyone please help me. I really need help and assistant in doing it.
    Thanks

    The database has been installed and configured with a given Peopletools version, say 8.52.x. You have to have the same version onto your local machine.
    And since you want only third tier connection, no need to have any database client.
    PIA is a server process to make front end users be able to connection onto the application using their own browser.
    AppServer is a server process allowing people to connect in a 3tier mode, and which manage all the Peoplesoft thingy, exclusively to run on the server to make it available for all.
    Batch Server, same as AppServer, exclusively on server side to make job process running out there. Not on any client.
    Consequently, download the Peopletools (same version as the Peoplesoft database), configure the 3tier connectivity within the Configuration Manager and enjoy PSoft.

  • What are the things we need to take care while moving from 11g to 12c.

    Dear All,
    One of my client having the application running on 11g and now he wants to move it on 12c.
    Now he is asking to me that, what are the things will not work or impacted due to this. Any code level changes, syntax, functions etc are working in 11g and now there is difference or not working in 12c. Could you please help me in this.
    Is there any document for all these thing. I searched on google but not able to find any specific doc.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Database in 11g will now act as PDB's in 12c.
    And what makes you say so? What about the changes/fixes done in the optimizer that would alter the plans? What about if the client wants to use in-memory database option? And your statement that database in 11g will now act as PDB in 12c doesn't make any sense. What if the client is not willing to move to multitenancy? What about the scripts that are running in 11g without any issues and suddenly, will break in 12c  due to PDB's ? Do you have any technical reference to validate your claim that there won't be any impact ?

  • What are the things that need to be done before creating quote and order

    Hi guys
    We have installed ECC and just for testing purpose we want to enter some basic data starting from creating couple of customers, department, quote and order.
    Is there a simple way (steps) to follow.
    The reason for asking this question is that we don't know where to start.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hello,
    If your organisational structrues are perfect, then check with MM and FI team for their opinion. If everything is right, then create customers, maintain pricing condition.
    Try to create a sales order or quotation. Save it, check for any errors, rectify it, then proceed for delivery.
    Follow simple process first, pick the delivery and do the PGI.
    Create a billing document, and check it is posting correctly.
    This is one process cycle. analyse for errors and modifications.

  • What are some cool things you can do with TWO Macs (one MBP and one MB)?

    What are some interactions that can happen between two Macs?
    I have a MacBook Pro, and my sister just bought a MacBook for herself.
    I can sense that there must be something cool we can do between them, because it's Apple !
    Any input would be appreciated, thanks and happy holidays.

    You can use Bonjour to setup a file-exchange network easily and efficiently.
    You can use iChat to create a video conference on your home network.
    If you are into power processing, I personally have set up a miniature render farm with 3 machines all processing 3d scenes to make my own 3d movies and special effects.
    You can share music through iTunes music sharing, and listen to each others music, video, and whatever-else libraries.
    And thats all I can think of as of now. Hope that helps!

  • What are some algorithms and utils good to know?

    I am trying to improve my overall programming skills by creating an API of various helper methods that can be used in day to day programming. So far, I have written my own implementation of the Java Collection Framework.
    What are some other useful utils to write? Like how to find a string (forward and/or reversed) within a body of text.
    I am open to suggestions. Thanks.

  • What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed?

    What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed? We have around 300 clients that need to be enroled on the Mac server. I want to know what is the recommended amount of clients a Mac server should contain. Also what are some recommended specs to make sure the server will flawlessly?

    Hello cpreasbeck,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    I was able to find the following transition guide for Xserve that provides some workload guidance to determine performance when planning a server deployment.
    Transition Guide Xserve
    http://images.apple.com/xserve/pdf/L422277A_Xserve_Guide.pdf
    On page 9, Performance there is a chart that provides maximum numbers of connected users for various activities such as file sharing, mail, web, calendar, directory services and Time Machine and the CPU used as a server (Xserve, Mac Pro, Mac Mini). This information is a bit dated as the referenced software is Snow Leopard Server (OS X 10.6), and the hardware is older also, but it should give you a general idea of what you might need to look for.

  • What are some of your favorite packages / VIs?

    After Hoovah gave me a link to his Variant Repository, I realized it was a very useful bit of code.  This got me thinking:  What are some other addins or libraries that people use, and why?  Or maybe just one little VI that you find yourself using over and over.
    To get it started, I have attached one such VI that will move a "pop-up" input window to your mouse location.
    Attachments:
    move panel to click.vi ‏38 KB

    I made this vi several years ago and still use it all the time. We do lots of data logging here and the standard is a time stamp on column 1 and then data in columns 2-x.
    The time stamp can be fed in or generated in the vi if the timestamp input is left disconnected.
    It also takes a single dimension [DBL] array of measurements and file reference and converts the LV timestamp to OLE (Excel) time.
    The thing I like about using it over other methods of writing a spreadsheet file, even XLR8, is since it uses file references the data file is locked so if you try to open it. You can still open it in Excel but only read only. This allowes LabView to still be able to write to the file when you are viewing it in Excel. I know you should not do that, but everybody here does it.

  • What you need to know before buying an antenna

    Isn’t it time you upgraded to an antenna? Wait… what? Upgrade to an antenna? Whether or not you’re a cord cutter (meaning you’ve cancelled your monthly television service) you might find that adding an antenna to your entertainment viewing space can be a great upgrade for a variety of reasons. Whatever those reasons are, here’s what you need to know before buying an antenna.
     

    I don't set out to sell anything, I'm an independent writer tasked with writing stuff about things to inform people. We link stuff to help people find things if they want to buy them, but the above isn't a sales pitch, it's info to help people figure out if they want or need something. 
    I didn't know that there was a cabal of antenna dealers who have been promulgating a myth (as a writer: nicely done there) about the nature of NTSC and ATSC; I hadn't ever considered that the antenna market was that large. When I received the request to write an article about antennas I was actually surprised; antennas don't have the support of major telecommunications companies and I sincerely doubt that there's going to be a run on them because of this article. I saw this as a bit of a public service opportunity to talk about a technology that a small segment would be interested in. 
    Anyway, I'm not sure we're going to get much farther on this; yes Best Buy sells antennas, but no, they didn't ask for an ad. They asked for an article that focused on how these antennas work and what to look for. Thank you for adding your insight about ATSC - I think that was actually covered in paragraphy three, but it's nice to see it spelled out more directly.
    Have a nice day - and if you'd like to discuss this directly, please send me a DM on twitter @thetechnogram

  • I have a macbook with Tiger.  What are the steps I need to take to upgrade to Lion and the cloud? I have the Snow leopard disk just received from Apple.

    What are the steps I need to take to upgrade my Macbook with Tiger to Lion and the cloud?  I have the install disk for Snow Leopard.

    Hi Carol, good/sound advice by Ziatron so far.
    We need more info about your Mac to see if it will even be capable,
    So we know more about it...
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 6 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
    You'll need to buy SL/10.6 first & get it to 10.6.8, then get Lion... if you can run it.
    Or if you can erase your disk...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they do still have it:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
    It looks like Apple will have Lion available on USB drives for $69...

  • What are some good, standard, help strategies?

    I'm learning JSP, coming from a Cold Fusion background.
    The biggest difficulty I've found in learning a new language is learning where to get help. This means:
    1) Which book(s) to buy (there's a bazillion of 'em)
    2) Where can I get help locally? Is there an IDE that is better for JSP? does any IDE provide in-depth help and docs on JSP? or code samples? Is there a detailed langauage reference I can download and use, or import into my IDE of choice (which is Homesite/Cold Fusion Studio)?
    3) Where can I get help online? What are the best web sites to provide answers using tutorials, articles, forums, and/or sample code? I'm sure this site here at Sun has great stuff, but is it 'real-world' information?
    I realize there are a ton of books and sites to help. The problem may be that, because there are so many, newbies have a hard time knowing which ones are the best for us. We don't have the time, money, or resources to evaualuate all the books and websites that are avaialable. I think I need a short list of the most popular and common sites and books.
    Also, For the above information, I need resources that can provide both newbie information ('cause I'm new to the language), intermediate information for people who have coding experience and catch on quickly, and advanced info for the nitty gritty occasions that inevitably pop up while coding.
    I have learned some of the best help strategies for Cold Fusion, but any time I start learning a different language, I struggle to develop a new and efficient help strategy. What are some good suggestions?

    Try professional JSP from Wrox Publication - a good book, but you will have to sit and read it, patiently - there is no shortcut to anything.
