Introducing Annoture, a metadata bridging solution for Aperture and iView MediaPro! With Annoture, you’re just a click away from sharing metadata between these two popular image management and cataloguing applications. Spend more time working with your decisive moments than worrying about double-entry and incomplete metadata! Annoture lets you transfer annotations…

Continue reading →: Annoture Feature Complete!
I love it when a plan comes together! Annoture is now successfully transferring annotations from iView to Aperture and back. I completed the last piece, Aperture to iView, just a few minutes ago, and it’s great to see things running smoothly. There’s just a few more pieces to finish before…

Continue reading →: Annoture Progress
In honor of Paperture, I’ve changed the name of the program to Annoture. Earlier, I discovered Apple was handling exporting IPTC information in an old manner. This unfortunately took out a couple of hours to figure out, time which I could have spent working on other parts of the application.…

Continue reading →: Flattened ITPC Fields by Aperture
Aperture’s metadata exporting routines need a little more work. Aperture seems to flatten into a single string IPTC fields that can hold multiple values such as Keywords, Supplemental Categories, and Contacts — Keywords, Categories and People in iView terms — during import of JPEGs and TIFFs.

Still slaving away on this application to transfer annotations between iView MediaPro and Aperture. I am still running version 2.6.4 of iView, having decided to hold off on the upgrade to iView 3.0 for the moment. I discovered today that the AppleScript annotation records suite between the two applications has…

Continue reading →: Aperture Tidbits
Some assorted Aperture tidbits: The Library entry in the Projects Pane is really a folder called ” Built-in Smart Albums”. Adding a new folder with a name ahead of this entry, such as ” An Album Ahead” does not place it above in Projects, however. The Light Table feature is…

Continue reading →: Aperture and Noise Ninja
At first glance, I think NoiseNinja will remain in my toolbox. The results from Aperture’s noise reduction tools are like butter knives compared to the razor-sharp blades that PictureCode’s software uses to carve up noise. Photoshop CS and CaptureOne all produce better results at noise reduction than Aperture. There are…
