Q: Book prices

With Aperture sadly on the way out, is it possible to print a book from Aperture 3.6 - via Apple's print services?

 

The 'Options and Prices' button within Aperture 3.6 takes you to this page :-(

 

Thanks!

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Clean machine... no haxies; no Microsoft etc

    Try it and tell us the result.

    This page is still life and shows the Aperture and iPhoto Print products:

         Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars - Apple Support

    But all links to the prices redirect to the new Photos pages.

     

    When I click the "Buy Book" button, it will show the prices for the book:

    Thanks, Leonie - as aways.

     

    Yes, I get that dialog; this makes me think I shall stick with Aperture for as long as I can.

     

    At least until Photos 2 appears, which might be a better step from Aperture, which really does everything I want!

     

    Appreciated :-)

    Photos has a long way to go, to come close to Aperture, but for the time being, Aperture is still working well.

    I also love Aperture. Always have. My nervousness lies in upgrading to a future version of the OS and finding…

     

    :-(

     

    But then I suppose we'd be told?

    :-(

    Never upgrade to a new MacOS X without having two working backups. I always keep a bootable clone in addition to the regular Time Machine backups. This way it easy to revert to the previous system, if I find that essential applications are no longer compatible with the new system.

    Aperture 3.6 will work, as long as we have a Mac that supports MacOS X 10.10.3.

     

    By then, Photos should be usable. And Capture One Pro is really a good alternative.

    Léonie,

     

    Yes, I keep multiple backups; thanks :-)

     

    I have 3.6; I just need to be eagle-eyed in making sure a (Yosemite) update doesn't slip in which scuppers Aperture.

     

    Also watching for better Photos.

     

    Frankly, I use the effects and photo editing less than the filing, metadata and hierarchical organization of my precious images.

     

    I took a quick look at Capture One Pro 8.

     

    It seems good.

     

    Is it really going places, able to work as well as we have become used to with Aperture… I always arrange, pre-categories and geotag etc on my hard drive; then do mitigate/keyword-rich imports using Aperture presets.

     

    Can Capture One Pro do that too… 'capturing' suggests an emphasis on camera import?

    Capture one has a magnificent raw development, lens correction, and the adjustements will produce stunning clarity, sharpness, definition.

     

    The organization is very similar to Aperture, see this help page:  http://help.phaseone.com/en/CO8/Organizing-Photos.aspx

     

    I have not yet found metadata presets, but you can customise the workspace and keyboard shortcuts.

    Thanks, Léonie. I can see I must investigate - especially if Photos fails.

     

    Your help much appreciated!
