Hi, i noticed that you upload your wedding photos online, in my country is
usual to show printed proofs of the photos during the wedding party, its
the way we sell them to guests, my problem is that my workflow is in LR but
i’m not so pleased with it because is very slow, my question: do you know a
way to export files with its filename printed on the image so that the
contact sheet can be fully occupied by the images? Thanks
Nice
Thank you very much – I’ve been wondering how to organizing my photos for
Aperture. Great workflow!
Hi Pete. I really enjoy your tutorials. Great stuff. I added a refernece to
my blog.
This is great. Thank you.
Well done mate. Great video. Have you always used Aperture since it came
out? and why do you use Aperture over Photoshop CS5 or other processing? Do
you use noise ninja or anything else for noise or only Aperture? Cheers
Thanks for the video. I am new to Aperture and was a bit intimidated on how
I would organize my library/projects. And back them up to an external.This
is exactly what I needed. Do you ever use the Vault feature? What’s the
advantage of that vs clicking and dragging your Aperture library to your
Drobo? Thanks again for the informative video. 🙂
how did you upload to zenfolio? did you export the file from aperture
before? or directly upload from aperture?
@MrSardylmi Hi, I’ve been an Aperture user since shooting my first wedding
when I needed something beefy to handle all the images. Aperture is a time
saver for organising projects and keeping to a professional workflow. I do
use Photoshop for tasks like object removal or serious restoration. I never
bother much with noise removal as even the best tools make the final image
appear unnatural. My best advice is try to improve your equipment choices
to avoid it where possible and love it where not!
Um, all the files in my workflow are RAW images which is why you need a
large data storage solution – JPGs could just be backed up online but RAWs
would take ages to upload. This won’t be an issue for ever, broadband
connection speeds will eventually get fast enough to through RAW data
around without too many issues but until then you need to manage files
locally.
Please put RAW out of the title. It has nothing to do with it.

I wish my room were like this.
This is an excellent video! When you import images from your photo cards,
do you work with them locally on your internal HD and use Time Machine for
your immediate “working” backup? And Drobo is only used for long term
archival storage? Thanks again!
@killision Thanks, the external drive is a Time Machine backup drive set to
hourly backups. This enables me to recover the whole system in event of
catastrophic hard disc failure! I do have a second scratch disk but that’s
only used for video projects.
How do you make the smaller aperture libraries? I’m having difficulty
figuring it out.
@CriticalFocusBlog many thanks for that!
@PauloParreira I’m not familiar with LR I’m afraid. In Aperture you can
print contact sheets with filenames directly from the Print dialogue and
select Meta Data: Name to display filenames under each thumbnail.
