Help with Aperture & Automator
Hi, I'm fairly new to Aperture and I'm hopeful that someone can help me automate a process that will make my life a lot easier.
I regularly save my original photographs into a folder on my desktop, the folder containing sometimes up to a thousand 6MB sized photos. I want to copy the contents of the folder that contains these photographs, resize them to 25% and then add a preset sharpening of Intensity 0.39 & Radius 4.69 in Aperture.
I have set up Automator as follows:
Copy Finder Items ( where I manually select all the images and drag them to the Automator app that I have named Resize & Sharpen )
Scale Images by Percentage (25%)
Import Photos (Aperture)
Apply Image adjustment Preset Sharpen (where my preset is Intensity 0.39 & Radius 4.69)
The process seems to work fine, in that it is copying, scaling & importing to Aperture but does not seem to apply the sharpening preset.
Any help would be really appreciated
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Also use Mac OS X (10.7.3)
