When I run the script nothing seems to happen... Is this because I have an Older/Newer version of Aperture? (2.1/3C27 under About Aperture)? If you could help me I would appreciate this very much. Other very simple scripts from other sites do work, so I know I'm invoking it in the right way. Thanks, Alex Hi,

I would recommend running the script from the Script Menu (see my post at <http://brettgrossphotography.com/2008/02/09/running-scripts-from-aperture>). The script analyzes the currently selected images and will work best/easiest if you are analyzing DSLR images. It will do some focal length conversion for some point & shoot cameras, but only those that I have owned ;-) You can edit the P&S camera support by opening the AppleScript in Script Editor and adding the camera's name (as Aperture shows it) and adding the conversion number. The percentages show how many of the selected images a particular lens would have been usable for. The lens with the highest percentage would be the most useful for what you shoot. Thanks!

I have been wondering how I should go about getting such a statistic for my shots. The script you wrote ... how does one plug that into Aperture? I have been using Macs for quite a while, but obviously leaving out lots of the fun. What do the percentages in your table mean? They add up to much more than 100%. I am missing something, here. Regards, Achim Hi,
