Select for This blog
Assignment, stock, And Select for Album up load .

The work flow:
 I then import the images from the memory card to the computers HD using aperture 3 . This software is easy to use. As soon as the photographs are loading, you can view them. Once loaded. Aperture gives an option to save or delete from the card.

I normally leave them on the card as support for another back up.

Once imported, I can then get to work on the images.

1. Burn the whole set to DVD for back up. Save by backing up, using TIME MACHINE. Macs own back up program.
 I prefer to do both. I can then work  the raw photographs. Aperture is set to editing the raw image. However Aperture does not over write the originals. It saves the master images.
Once edited, and those I do not want, are saved to the trash. I will then separate to another folder , or tag those I want to use.
I will re look at the deleted set in the trash. To make sure I do not want these images. Before permanent deletion. In saying this. I always have a back up on disc.

Then I will re assess the work I have edited. Then make my final selection. By holding command clicking on the images I want to send to a file, that I can up load from. Open Export, selecting file type and size. From that file. I name the file to export to. I can then open  any program, that will import or up load the files.

In aperture I can also select the required images as above, Then go to a plug in.
Thats an additional program inter phasing with aperture.   Eg Face book or Fickler. The option will open to up load automatically to the desired web site.
If other editing, or more advanced editing on any image is required, I can open them from within Aperture plug ins to photoshop, or Portrait professional.

Everyone has there own way in a work flow. The work flow is not always the same. Depending if the photographs are for this course. Or of the family and holiday events. I will then edit the pictures in I photo, Save then to disk. Any important images or ones that can be used, other then family or snaps. Will be exported to aperture.

I feel after some time using other programs and operating systems. Learning from experience. This work flow form is quick. easy and very reliable. The only draw back I have is internet speed. Being that I live in borneo Malaysia.
