How do I geotag photos in Apple Aperture? This seems a little more fiddly than it should be, but it works! Hopefully in the future Apple will refine the process a bit. Thanks for the tips. |

Are there any downsides to using a good-quality UV filter? So does it reduce image quality if I take a step backwards and introduce another 2 feet of air between the camera and the subject? Just because something in theory might make a difference doesn't mean it will in practice. |

What are the major differences when digitizing slides/negatives with a DSLR vs. a scanner? @koiyu: As you can probably tell, I have never done this and so have no idea about the quality, other than the quick pixel calc I mention in my answer. I guess I would be surprised if you could do a better job with a lightbox and macro lens than a dedicated scanner, but I really don't know. |

What are the major differences when digitizing slides/negatives with a DSLR vs. a scanner? @koiyu: Sounds like you fall into the "fun project" category. Good luck! I maintain that a scanner sounds easier, but if it's about the DIY-ness, then have fun! |

What are the major differences when digitizing slides/negatives with a DSLR vs. a scanner? @rufsca: but a flatbed scanner takes zero setup, and essentially zero time per photo. You just sit there and read the paper as it does its thing. |

What can you do with embedded GPS locally? For the record, iPhoto has the same feature. |

What is the best way to improve Aperture 3 peformance on an iMac? The poster doesn't say if they're using a solid state drive (SSD), but I should point out that defragging an SSD is not only pointless, but will put needless wear on the driving, causing it to slow down over time. |

Should I use low-end expanded ISO? Thanks for the tip about Dynamic Range Expansion, I had ignored that setting. |

What white balance settings do I need to capture the cast of a coloured streetlight? @John Cavan - I think we're in agreement. The final result of the same white balance settings, applied either in-camera to the JPEG or post-production to the RAW, will give the same result. All I was saying was that there is no reason for @fmark to prefer JPEG for white balance experiments -- quite the opposite, in fact. |
