Time Machine is one of the premiere features of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). It allows anyone to back up their entire Mac easily and without muss or fuss - but what does it really back up? My analysis says ‘not quite everything.’
A few of you commented on my previous posts about deciding on my next lens. For those of you who posted and emailed, I would like to extend my thanks- your advice and anecdotes were all very warmly received.
I was going to write about the decision support system that I wrote using Numbers (in [...]
Updated script
Requires Aperture 2
Probably requires Mac OS X 10.5.2
One of the many cool new features of Aperture 2 is support for DNG masters from just about any camera. My venerable old Canon PowerShot S50 has never been supported by Mac OS X’s RAW engine, but now I can use the images in Aperture without resorting [...]
Aperture 2 or later
Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later
This script is more a big stub. It’ll give you the paths for the currently selected images’ masters. It uses 2 methods for finding the master depending on whether the master is managed or referenced. I am sure that I can speed up the managed master finding [...]
Aperture user John Larson posted some excellent getting started AppleScripts & stubs to his site at: http://homepage.mac.com/jlarson7/. There is some great info there and his scripts show some great new functionality for Aperture 2.

One of the many cool new features of Aperture 2 is support for DNG masters from just about any camera. My venerable old Canon PowerShot S50 has never been supported by Mac OS X’s RAW engine, but now I [...]
I love Aperture books. I’ve been making books since Apple debuted the feature in iPhoto (and I used Keynote to do custom layouts). I make a book for every event and year- it really is a great way to show your photos off. Since Aperture, I haven’t had to resort to using Keynote to make [...]
Aperture 2 only
Here is a tip from my newly modified Aperture workflow. One of the best new features of Aperture 2 is that you can now find images that have been adjusted and even find images based on particular adjustments. This is great for me because it makes my Aperture 1.x workflow even more powerful. [...]
This is the first in what will likely be a few posts on how AppleScriptability has changed between Aperture versions 1.5.6 and 2.0. In this first installment I am going to just look at the AppleScript dictionary…
