Q: Some q's from new aperture user
Hi,
Ive just started using Aperture. I had iphoto but found it very limited so brought aperture instead (and even got apple to refund my iphoto!).
Anyway i have a few questions, i don't want to start new topics for each question so i'll just put them all here:
1. My big issue is sorting the photo's. I like to sort by date. i know when you go into projects view, they are automatically sorted by date. however i have an issue where say i have 20 photos taken with different cameras of the same event. The metadata for the date/times could be different. if i select all the photos and batch change the date and time, for some reason it only seems to change 1 picture rather then every one. any ideas?
2. I know aperture won't read video formats not supported by iphones etc. Is there any easy way to convert? i have 100's of GB's worth of videos in other formats. On my mac mini even with 16gb ram it takes decades to convert even a 10 min clip.
3. When you go into project view, the title of the album in terms of how much you can view is very limited. is there any way to change this? for example if the title is 'neil and janes wedding' you will probably just about see 'neil and ja....' everything else will be cut out, very difficult to identify albums and also i don't want to go into the album just to see what it is.
OS X Mountain Lion, SSD 16gb RAM
