I know Aperture doesn't support the 6D yet, but if I tether and shoot using the Canon EOS Utility, and specifiy Aperture as the linked software in the Preferences, each shot is imported into Aperture.
The only problem is each image starts a new Project. Does anyone know how to import all the images into the same project?
Thanks

I don't know. Does the Canon EOS Utility allow you to specify an Aperture Project?
For Sony cameras (none of which are supported for tethering), what works is to export from the Sony tethering software (which controls the camera and outputs the photo file) into a Finder folder that has an Automator Folder Action attached. (The Folder Action is simple: take this file, import it into the specified Aperture Project, and then delete it.) I keep a Project in my Libraries called "_Hot Imports", and have the Folder Action directed to it.

Thanks Kirby,
I forgot all about Automator, as I have never used it. Just spent 5 mins playing and it works a treat. It is alot slower, than when I shoot directly into Aperture with my 60D, but it works non the less.
I may have to start paying more attention to Automator in the future!
Cheers

Hi Bill -- you're welcome. Speedy it is not -- but it's orders of magnitude faster for un-supported cameras than not using it 😉 .
