How do I set the desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3?

OT.

Better wait for Lion 10.7.3, if you do not want to spend your precious time in the Lion forum instead of working with Aperture ...

Seriously? I was thinking of trying the upgrade this week. Nothing pressing, just have some time. More than willing to wait.

I've been using Desky without an issue in Lion to set any image as desktop wallpaper.

Drag any image, whether from Aperture, iPhoto, a Finder window, etc., to the Desky icon. The Desky icon can be placed on the Dock and/or Finder's sidebar or menu bar.

I wish also Aperture had at least a shortcut or icon for we can setting the desktop directly from the application. But Desky does its only task very well.

Regards.

Seriously?

Welcome to the Lion's den, Kirby.

I was funning 😉, but seriously, it depends on how you use your system. If it were only Aperture, there would be no reason at all to wait, as an AP 3.2.1 user I think you would be even better of with Lion than with SL.

I find myself spending much time in the Lion forum because of iCloud synchronization problems, because Lion is frequently dropping WLAN connections,and because I'm looking for solutions on how to configure the desktop tools like Mail, iCal, AddressBook, and Safari to make them usable again. I have no stability problems with Lion (crashes or the beachball of death), it is more a usability problem. Many options are hidden, and many of the new features that are turned on by default, are useless and annoying for me - like the automatic resume of windows. For example, when I quit Safari, usually there are 20 or more tabs open, and when I reopen Safari in the morning, Safari will insist on opening all 20 tabs again, to present to me the screen as I left it the day before, even if many of the pages cannot be reopened, because the connection has expired, and I wait and wait for windows that I do not want ... I just don't seem to be the average, prototypical user the system has been designed for. MacOS does no longer seem to be an OS for software engineers, at least, that is how I feel at the moment.

When I recommended to wait for the next release, I was hoping that some of the complaints concerning usability will have been addressed by the next upgrade. It took me so long to answer, because Lion had dropped the WLAN connection once again ...

Just in case I discouraged you with my comments, here is another "Should I upgrade to Lion"-thread that you might find helpful. 😀

I had been having the same problem, until i realised i was being impatient.

Due to the size of my aperture library i had to wait for it to appear!

Looks like you are going to be waiting for Aperture 4 for a LONG time...

Given that you have just responded to a 3 year old thread, your comment is not too profound.

Setting an Outlook reminder for 2025 so that it is more profound when I next point out that Aperture 4 was never launched. Sorry that not enough time had passed for you...
