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 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.

My venerable old Canon PowerShot S50 has never been supported by Mac OS X’s RAW engine, [...]
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 [...]
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…
