I am confused by the NIK plug-ins with Aperture 3.5 since the NIK brushes are gone in Aperture:
RAW file > Edit With Plug-In > Sharpener Pro3 > Save. Now I have the master RAW file and the NIK-modified PSD file. Is there a way to brush in/out the NIK sharpening?
Thanks, Brian
Aperture 3, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
You can't brush in the NIK sharpening once you're back in Aperture, no. Basically Aperture hands a TIFF off to the NIK plugin and it gets an updated TIFF back. There's no way to selectively brush in parts of the new TIFF. That would be a good trick 😉
While I love the NIK plugins, I tend to use them sparingly just because they break the "non-destructive" workflow of Aperture. And they give you the modified file which is usually about 6x the size of the original RAW file.

Thanks, that's what I thought but I had hopes...
