This Blog is Moving

I've been thinking about switching this blog to be more about photography and post-processing in general. Now that I'm trying to get my name and a brand out there, I've decided to do just that. Yes, I could very easily switch this in blogspot, but I wanted to migrate to something new. I've exported and imported all the posts on here to the new blog. Nothing will be lost. Just a minor switch in venue that hopefully few people will notice.

From here on out, please visit woodsonphotography.blogspot.com.

The whole point of Aperture is to reduce the dependency on larger, more complicated applications like Photoshop. I find working in Aperture to be far faster when working with a large number of photos.

A lot of my issues stem around the performance of the brushes (see my previous posts). Nonetheless, for certain effects it's totally possible to achieve basically the same results as in Photoshop. I used to do my cross processing in Photoshop, but now I've saved it as a preset in Aperture. A similar preset is also preinstalled with Aperture 3. Over at ChaseJarvis.com, he's posted up an article comparing what can be achieved in a black and white photo between Aperture and Photoshop.
