Late breaking News...fixed a small glitch on our Blog re. reviving old slides and rough scans in Aperture 2
The title of the effected blog was...
Aperture 2 or now 2.01 the rescue of a 25-year-old Dolphin in Australia before leaving for the F1 Grand Prix in Malaysia.
Two images did not upload at first, please check or refresh your system the problem has been fixed!
This particular blog addresses an issue almost forgotten today; what about the older generation of photographers who have a ton of slides or digitized images stored in their archives and shelves. Aperture 2 can take care of these too…in other words a complete system.
You get a very good idea what Aperture 2 can do with old and almost forgotten slides or scans. Read the blog below and compare the images, the ones which where missing before. Sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.
For all the details and how to revive old rough scans from way back go to my main Blog @ http://www.deichmann-photo.com/blog.html

A test
drive for the weekend…my advice…make time for this
super cool addition play and explore the
Web
Gallery in Aperture
2.
I have provided some insight and samples below... go

As
promised here is my follow up with these Philippine
stock images for a German Publisher…I have provided
some tips how to make things so much faster using the
Web Gallery within Aperture
2, but
before I go into all the details let me say
this…fantastic integration and so efficient having
this ability is just so amazing.
I am not
bragging… maybe just a bit… (justified) I am just so
impressed… like in evolution the missing link came
with
Aperture 1.0 but with Aperture 2
we started to
walk upright…but to be honest, I am actually
running.
Sounds like I am back in to my fossils…discovery of
man… Aperture
2... find
out all the tips and details plus a lot more

Another Wow… and vote for Aperture 2 from Japan…from Australia to Japan to who knows where next?
I had a very long chat today on skype with my good friend and top under water photographer Tony Wu. Yes, you guessed right an Aperture user; the only problem is he now blames me for the introduction, but I don’t mind taking the blame for that.
If Tony blames me for Aperture then I blame him for the Blog, it was him who introduced me some years ago to this Blog stuff.
I just returned the favor and introduced him to Aperture…now we both have very little time left for our wife’s…hmm…or more in time to come.
We been chatting away on skype and talked about Aperture 2, Tony has just installed it on his Mac and I gave him a few tips online.
When we got to the details his exact words where… I just love the recovery tool for blown out highlights etc., etc. that one is so awesome in particular for underwater photographers, hey Tony… please send me some images for comparison, so he did of the Australian Sea Lion who just about kissed his Dome port on his underwater housing from one of his recent trips.
See below the before and after images and you might remember from my previous blog with the Ferrari and BMW about this new and fantastic feature in Aperture 2.
He was very impressed…not only by this new feature; yes he did some laps and was full of praise with the new speed and efficiency.

I also mention to him during
our skype call the new
All Projects button, ha, ha… he tried it
out while we where still online, he just couldn’t
wait... after I had explained the function and how to
use it, all I can hear was… Wow… wow…
that is really awesome… if I had know this last
night I could have saved my self a lot of time
looking for some images during a small presentation.
There you have it straight from Japan, from one of
the very best underwater photographer in Asia and
beyond.
Check out some of Tony’s underwater images @
http://www.tonywublog.com/
I said all along from fossils to BMW, Ferrari’s and
marine life, Aperture
2 can
handle all of it and a lot more… I guess this is
another vote for Aperture
2 and
this time from
Japan.
Thanks
Tony, for sharing this with
us.
