When you die, your next-of-kin is going to eye all your photos, and close relative as she/he is, it is going to be a deeply emotional trip through your life. Been there, done that, did not like the T-shirt too much.
But, at digital age, there will be a gazillion photos on all those drives and backup disks that you keep filling up one after another. Nobody ...

I delete 8/10 of the photos I take. Those 8 would just end up on a hard drive anyway, and no one, including myself, would ever see them.

Where is your scratch drive? While your files may be on a fast drive, eventually your software is going to have to cache the results of processing somewhere. That's normally done to a scratch drive/folder somewhere. I don't know Aperture specifically, but this is generally a setting somewhere in the software. If your scratch drive is slow and/or highly ...

I would use a program use as COmbineZ; normally used for improving the depth of field of a macro shot it should be able to layer your images together well.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CombineZ for links to the freeware software.
IF that fails, which might depends on the algorithm (it may try and align the images rather than just stacking) then the ...

If you click through the blog image to the smugmug gallery you can download the full resolution version.
Looking at that it seems "extreme sharpening" refers to the diameter as well as the strength of the unsharp mask. This has the effect of increasing microcontrast (at the expense of halos around edges). Try setting the diameter to something like 5 pixels ...

I came up with another solution that utilize the very nice feature of Mac OS X: Automator!
Automator allows you to do batch type of tasks easily. Open automator from your applications and in the opening dialog select workflow. Then from side-bar drag the items (in order) to the left panel. You can find them by searching the titles in the search-box (e.g. ...

Short answer:
In Lightroom, warm up the white balance and slide the "clarity" setting to the max.
Fine tune color after that.

I agree that none of the photos look like they have been processed in the same way however I think most of the filters can be found in OnOne's Perfect Photo Suite.

The second one appears to use some post-processing to imitate lomography.
Here is a tutorial on recreating that effect.

The technique is called a photomosiac, where an image in composed of lots of smaller images with different overall colour / brightness such that it resembles the master image when viewed from a distance.
There exist many pieces of software to sort the images and build the mosaic for you. That's not the hard part.
The problem is that if you have, say 20 ...

I thought I'd pull some comparison shots out to show the sort of reduction you're going to be looking at. Though, of course, the effectiveness of this technique will depend on the specific image you're working with, this example should give you an idea on what you're looking at.
At 157 kb, the image is:
This comes from Photoshop CS 5.5's "Save For Web" ...

I'd recommend playing around with the Save for Web feature in Photoshop. It is designed for making small jpeg files and will allow you to mess around with resizing the number of pixels as well as the compression level and will allow you to preview the results.
A word of warning however, the display dimensions and the file size you are looking for are ...

Open image in Photoshop CS3. Go to Image->image size->. A small window will show. Put your desired size on the text of document size. If your size is not accepted, uncheck scale style, constrain proportions, and resample the image. After noting your size, check those three options again and then reduce the pixel dimensions. It will decrease you KB size. But ...

I don't quite understand what "5L x 3.6w" means, but the obvious thing to do here is to just to scale the photo down. I'm presuming that this will be used as a thumbnail or similar (if you're trying to do anything else with a 10 kB JPEG, give up now!) so pure image quality shouldn't be too important.

Is it possible to have exposure decrease programmatically when batch processing in Adobe Camera Raw?
While I'm not aware of any off-the-shelf solutions (and it's not native to Lightroom/ACR), there's no reason why it can't be done.
Since ACR/LR don't touch the original file (with a few exceptions related to EXIF data) but store the adjustments to be made in an XMP file, and XMP is just XML (plain text with angle brackets), there is no reason why an ...
