ABSTRACT

Aperture works exceptionally well with other applications, and can even read and write native Photoshop PSD files, which opens up access to a wide range of Photoshop filters. Fortunately Aperture caters well here, as besides allowing digital photographer to export digital photographer's images in the traditional sense - effectively saving them out as digital files - it also allows for a full range of printing and online publishing. There are, unfortunately, some obvious omissions from Aperture's output options, including the cards and calendars available in iPhoto. Apple maintains a catalog of available plug-ins for Aperture, including a wide range of Export plug-ins at apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture. Aperture will ask whether digital photographers want to switch to the exported Library or import it into the current master Library. Aperture keeps track of who has been authorized to view each Album, and so will automatically populate the third column of the table - Albums - on that basis.
