Hi Neil.
The images are in all sorts of formats I would imagine. They are probably in psd, jpeg, tiff, png and other formats.
I was mentioning png because my understanding is that along with tiff it is a lossless format. This is good for saving images that you are editing (which I may do in this case). Perhaps I am mistaken here but this is the reason for the post.
The guy that is handling this is new in his job. So, I am trying to make sure I get this correct.
I am not sure about the question about a second macbook (perhaps I have confused you somewhere)? I have a MacPro (this is what I am working on because the APERTURE DATABASE) is on this computer. I may have to work on the presentation while on the road with the MacBookPro - but I definitely will have to give the presentation on the MacBookPro.
My assumption is that the issue here is two-fold. 1. If I need images before, during or after the presentation I will have to do some kind of access of the other images not in the presentation by booting off an external drive with the original Aperture Database. 2. As I will be (likely) both exporting the images out of Aperture /and/ transferring a Keynote (or Aperture) presentation file to another machine - I would like to know if there are any issues to be careful about. For instance, when saving to pdf for a manually forwarded presentation - one needs to check some Preference Setting to make sure that the presentation opens in full screen, otherwise it opens in preview mode.
1. Can you help with any of the above questions?
2. Is it necessary for me to bring my own connection?
3. Is it necessary for me to know the projectors aspect ration and if so for what reason?
4. Why do you suggest looking at the images on my screen to see if there is a difference between a 10 and a 12 setting? I have a 13" screen and this comparison seems like it would not hold up when projected over 30 feet or whatever.
Also, I don't understand your reference to "sooner or later the images are going to get cropped".
Have we determined that you cannot do a manually forwarded presentation in Aperture?
Thanks.
Jon
