National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week is in full swing and since its beginning in 1996, more has been done each year to raise awareness and funding for groups that help save the lives of million of animals each year.
This year the week is running between November 6 and November 12 and aside from helping keep these organizations going strong, the week also encourages potential pet owners to adopt a pet rather than purchase one from a breeder or pet shop, The Huffington Post reports.
Some people may not be ready for the responsibility of taking care of a pet full time, but may still want to help. According to the publication, pet-loving people can give back by volunteering their time at local animal shelters. Here they can spend time with deserving dogs, cats, bunnies and more by walking the animals, playing with them, feeding each one and keeping them in good overall pet health.
Owners can also help out by getting their pets neutered or spayed to help reduce the number of unwanted animals. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that getting an animal fixed can also reduce their chances of developing certain cancers or other medical conditions.
People can also give back by hosting a "pet food" drive as a way to provide nutritious meals to animals in shelters.

Arizona's Stacie Chambers named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. --- The Amateur Softball Association announced today that Arizona's Stacie Chambers (Glendale, Ariz.) was named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week for her offensive efforts at the Judi Garman Classic in Fullerton, Calif.
"It really is an honor and a great feeling," said Chambers. "But it only raises the bar for myself and makes me want to work harder. Our team is going to come out and work hard as we head into Pac-10 play next week, and we are all driven to make it back to Oklahoma City."
The junior catcher tallied 15 RBI and seven runs scored in 14 at-bats. In total, three players tallied seven RBI in the tournament, which was the second-highest output, but Chambers had 15. She nabbed six hits over the tournament - all home runs - bringing her season total to 19 and her RBI total to 66, leading the Pac-10 conference.
"It's a very prestigious honor," said Arizona head coach Mike Candrea. "Stacie had an outstanding performance this weekend, and we're always glad to see our players getting recognition. It's an honor for our program."
All 15 RBI came in only three games as Chambers knocked in seven runs on two homers against New Mexico - including her third grand slam of the season, and four runs on two homers against both Penn State and Notre Dame. Two walks, including an intentional base on balls, against ND gave her a 2-for-2 performance with three runs scored.
Chambers homered in her final two at-bats against Penn State and her first two at-bats against Notre Dame, thus becoming the first person in Arizona's long and prestigious history to hit four home runs in consecutive plate appearances.
Chambers has now had three weekends in which she tallied 15 or more RBI. This also marks the first USA Softball Player of the Week honor for Chambers.

Catholic Charities Appeal reaches $9.7M
BUFFALO Less than one month after Appeal Week 2013 ended, volunteers for the annual Appeal in support of Catholic Charities of Buffalo must raise $1 million more to reach this year's $10.7 million campaign goal. This week, the organization announced $9,738,391.31 has been raised in cash and pledges, representing 91 percent of the goal. Appeal officials said this is right on track with where the 2012 Appeal stood at this time last year.
Appeal Week 2013, held March 17-24, marked the strongest push for parish donations to support the myriad programs Catholic Charities offers, including behavioral health services, food pantries, basic relief services, the refugee assistance program, and counseling for individuals, children and families.
The 2013 Appeal ends June 30 and efforts to increase support from lapsed and new donors will continue in parishes, schools and the corporate community.
The Most Reverend Richard J. Malone, bishop of the Diocese of Buffalo, thanked the community for its generous response to the Appeal and asked for its continued support.
"We're very happy to announce the great progress we've made and I want to thank those who have contributed to this year's campaign so far, particularly our new donors," said Bishop Malone. "However, we still have a challenging road ahead of us to raise the $1 million that's absolutely vital to maintaining the 70 programs and services Catholic Charities offers 130,000 people in Western New York each year. I urge lapsed and potential donors to contribute and assist the most comprehensive human services provider in the region so it can continue to protect, strengthen and empower so many in our community."
Sister Mary McCarrick, OSF, Catholic Charities diocesan director, pointed to one of the 44 parishes that have already exceeded their 2012 Appeal totals as a key driver of current progress.
"St. Joseph-University Church in Buffalo, always one of our very supportive parishes, has surpassed its 2012 total by nearly $29,000 and broke the $200,000 mark by contributing more than $204,000 so far this year," said Sister Mary. "We also recognize the growing efforts of the parish's youth ministry. At their fifth annual bowl-a-thon, parish youth raised $700. Credit certainly goes to an active parish team led by Father Jacob (Jack) Ledwon, pastor, and Appeal Chair Richard Baumann, as well as all of the pastoral staff and other volunteers. With similar results like these in parishes across our diocese, I'm confident our goal will soon be in sight."
St. Joseph-University Parish Appeal Chair Richard Baumann affirmed that the resources and tools provided by Catholic Charities continually help to generate a successful campaign.
"First, it is the people who donate that make this possible because they have always been very generous," said Baumann. "For the two weeks before the start of Appeal Week, we collected donations in our community room after every Mass and offered coffee and donuts. The first week, Father Jack (Ledwon) and Dennis (Walczyk, Catholic Charities CEO) did a special reading of the Gospel with an elaboration that went over very well. People responded."
The parish team also extensively used the Appeal banners, posters and other materials Catholic Charities provided.
Stephen Ulrich, 2013 Appeal chair, praised the efforts of Baumann and the 600 other Appeal volunteers who work to encourage donations throughout the eight-county diocese.
"Our progress so far is a testament to your diligence and dedication. As we enter the last 10 weeks of our campaign, we ask for your continued commitment as we make this final drive toward our critically important goal," he said. "I implore everyone, Catholics and non-Catholics, and our corporate community, to respond with a contribution to Catholic Charities for the benefit of their neighbors, friends, employees and local families."
Donations to the 2013 Appeal will be gratefully received from all members of the community through the Appeal's close on June 30.
Catholic Charities empowers children, families and seniors to achieve meaningful, healthy and productive lives. In all situations, we deliver support to meet immediate needs and then assess for other needs to ensure long-term success. We are the most comprehensive human service provider serving more than 130,000 people in all eight counties of WNY with 70 programs and 61 locations. We receive highest ratings for quality of service from the Council on Accreditation and for financial health/accountability from Charity Navigator. For 89 years, Catholic Charities has been making a difference for people of every faith and ethnicity in WNY.
The patron of Appeal 2013 is Blessed Frederic Ozanam, a layman who co-founded the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
For more information on Appeal 2013 or to make a donation, contact Catholic Charities at (716) 218-1400 or go to www.ccwny.org. Check out Catholic Charities on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ccbuffalo and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ccbuffalo.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires that all entities in receipt of any federal funds or financial assistance must prohibit sex discrimination in their education programs and activities. Examples of the types of discrimination that are covered under Title Ix include: sexual harassment, the failure to provide equal opportunity in athletic and academic programs, and discrimination based on pregnancy. Retaliation for filing a complaint or advocating for a right protected by Title IX is also prohibited. The Title IX Coordinator, Loyce Brown, is the individual responsible for ensuring compliance with the law in this area at Delta College (Delta).
Title IX protects male and female students from sexual harassment by any college employee, another student, or a non-employee third party.
Title IX requirements apply to all aspects of education programs and activities at Delta, including student admissions, financial assistance, access to academic offerings, and athletics. The law also applies to all aspects of Delta's employment process, including hiring, tenure, compensation, and training. Delta College is obligated to:
Delta's Title IX Coordinator's responsibilities involve the development, implementation, and monitoring of efforts to comply with Title IX legislation, regulation, and case law. The Title IX Coordinator monitors the application of Delta's policy and Title IX law in relation to complaint procedures. This includes notification, investigation and disposition of complaints; creation of educational materials and training for the campus community; ensuring a fair and neutral process for all parties; and monitoring all other aspects of Delta's Title IX compliance.
Anybody who sees sexual harassment or other prohibited conduct occur should report it; the reporting individual need not be the victim. The conduct should be reported to a responsible college employee, such as a faculty member, administrator, Delta College campus police, or a professional staff member in the office of student educational services. Conduct can also be reported to the Title IX Coordinator in the Equity Office.
Sexual harassment is any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that denies or limits a student's ability to participate in or benefit from a school's education program. Sexual harassment includes but is not limited to any unsolicited, offensive behavior that uses sexuality to disadvantage another, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when submission to sexual harassment is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of employment or academic admission or advancement, or submission to or rejection of sexual harassment is used as the basis (or threatened to be used as the basis) for employment actions or academic decisions or evaluations, or such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or educational performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work or learning environment. Unsolicited, offensive behavior may involve harassment of women by men, harassment of men by women, and harassment between persons of the same sex.
Complaints of sexual misconduct between Delta students or where the individual allegedly committing the misconduct is a Delta student are governed by the Delta Student Code and applicable state and federal law.
Any College employees with complaints alleging gender discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or violation of Delta's Code of Conduct, Sexual Harassment Policies, or Harassment Policies should report them to the Title IX Coordinator.

Loyce Brown, Title IX Coordinator

With hiring slow on Wall Street, business and economics graduates are applying to Teach for America, deferring the search for a finance job, reports the New York Times.
In the last several years, hundreds of such would-be finance professionals and management consultants have taken their high-powered ambitions and spreadsheet modeling skills to the classroom.
. . . Teach for America says that its 2012 class contained about 400 recent graduates with a major in business or economics. Of those with professional experience, about 175 worked in finance.
The new recruits bring valuable analytical skills to teaching, reports the Times.
Ross Peyser, a 2011 graduate of Cornell and a second-year teacher in New Orleans, was once an intern at Oliver Wyman, a financial services consulting firm. As a teacher, he still plays the role of data analyst, creating Excel spreadsheets to diagnose his students' learning needs.
. . . "I had a stronger basis to do my data analysis compared to all the other teachers in my school," Mr. Peyser said.
Teach for America requires only a two-year commitment, which means that many corps members leave the classroom just as they've hit their stride as teachers. "Of its 28,000 alumni, two-thirds remain in education roles, including as principals and superintendents (about half of those educators are in classroom settings)," TFA tells the Times. But turnover rate is likely to be higher for those with a shot at high-paying finance jobs.

What a waste of time.
Heh heh.
Anyway, yeah, super waste of time. Let's see, first off there was a foot and a half tall line that just FAILED MISERABLY. Then this thing has an ultra simplistic design and no neck and is stubby. And finally it has Jakks Pacific at its helm, and honestly I haven't seen them do much that worked outside of wrasslin'.
My size Barbie was missing someone tall, dark, and mysterious in her life...
31"? I can't imagine a lot of collectors have room for this sort of thing anymore.

Vikings grasp the glory
MINNEAPOLIS – Emotion and desire approaching their peak, Taylor Reiss looked to the Target Center rafters and let out a scream midway through the second half of Saturday's Class A girls' basketball championship game. She had just outmuscled a trio of Ada-Borup players under the basket to rip away a rebound off her own miss, went back up, scored a layup and drew a foul.
Locked in a fierce battle with the team that knocked her Minneota Vikings out of the state tournament in the first round a season ago, the 5-foot-10 sophomore forward was on a mission. Her team had just taken the lead. She wasn't going to have any part in letting it go.
With 1 minute, 35 seconds remaining in the game, Reiss grabbed another offensive rebound after teammate Emily Stienessen missed a free throw and, while falling backwards, somehow got a putback attempt to go in to give the Vikings a 52-47 lead. It was the basket that broke the Cougars' back.
Behind a 30-point, 12-rebound performance by Reiss, Minneota defeated Ada-Borup 61-51 to claim the first-ever state basketball title in school history.
"I took it upon myself to make sure that my team won this because I feel like sometimes it's my responsibility, if we're down, that I have to bring my team up and I have to make some crucial buckets for us," said Reiss, who earned All-Tournament Team honors along with Stienessen and Minneota junior forward Molly Hennen.
With a clear size advantage over the Cougars, who don't have anyone on their roster over 5-9, the Vikings totally dominated Ada-Borup down low. They held a 40-20 rebounding edge and pulled down 17 offensive boards, including nine by Reiss alone. Minneota also finished with a 20-4 advantage in second-chance points.
It was a rebounding performance reminiscent of a season ago in the state quarterfinals when Minneota controlled the glass and got off 65 shot attempts to Ada-Borup's 29, but lost by four points due to shooting struggles. The disappointment of back-to-back first-round exits at state was something that sophomore guard Payton Boerboom said fueled the Vikings to their 2013 title run.
"The past couple of years I thought we deserved to move on but it didn't happen," said Boerboom, who had 13 points and nine rebounds Saturday. "I think the burning passion and fire that was in our stomachs… we needed this. It was a must that we win, and it worked out, obviously."
The two teams battled back and forth in the first half with four ties and seven lead changes. Despite out-rebounding Ada-Borup 22-8, Minneota found itself trailing 29-27 at halftime, in part due to 11 turnovers.
The Vikings continued to pound the boards in the second half and picked up their intensity on defense. After allowing the Cougars to shoot 47.8 percent in the first 18 minutes, Minneota held Ada-Borup to 32.0 percent in the second half.
Hennen played a key role in the defensive effort. Her assignment was to slow down Ada-Borup senior forward Megan Kolness, who was perfect from the field last year against Minneota and scored a game-high 25 points. Saturday, Hennen used her athleticism and her long 5-10 frame to prevent Kolness from getting any easy looks. Kolness ended up scoring a team-high 12 points, but was just 3-for-11 shooting.
"The girl I was guarding, she was 100 percent last year, 11-for-11, so I knew I had to stay with her because she was going to be really aggressive and wouldn't be afraid to shoot any threes or drive on me," said Hennen, who was scoreless Saturday but had seven rebounds, six assists and a pair of steals.
While picking up its defensive intensity, Minneota also began to find more of a rhythm on the offensive end. The Vikings started the half on a 9-2 run, then gave up a 7-0 run that included four points from Kolness and a jumper by Miki Lee that gave Ada-Borup a 38-36 lead with 10:21 left. That's the last lead the Cougars would have in the game.
Boerboom drilled a 3-pointer from the left wing following an offensive rebound by Reiss, then Reiss scored back-to-back baskets, first converting on a three-point play and then getting a bucket down low after receiving a feed from Hennen from the top of the key.
Reiss scored 16 of her points in the second half, her two biggest coming on the putback after Stienessen missed a free throw with 1:35 remaining to put the Vikings up 52-47. She followed that with a defensive rebound on the other end, was fouled and hit a pair of foul shots to extend the lead to seven.
The Vikings played the final 2:33 without junior point guard Shelby Corbin, who picked up her fifth foul trying to get free to receive an inbounds pass coming out of a timeout. With just a one-possession lead and their floor general fouled out, it was Reiss who stepped up for the Vikings, much like she had all game.
"You know what, they always talk about it, big players step up for big games," Minneota head coach Chad Johnston said. "Obviously (Reiss) did. That was our strength and we did a great job of utilizing that.
"That's putting pressure on the girl but I thought she stepped up and did a wonderful job. It's a credit to the team to realize what our strength was and to not be selfish and to continue to feed her and feed off the fact that that was our strength."
Boerboom made two free throws and Stienessen was 5-for-6 from the foul line in the final minute on her way to 11 points as the Vikings closed out the game. The players let out huge smiles as they made their trips to the free throw line, knowing the had their 17th straight win, their 30th win of the season and their first-ever state title well in hand.
"This is exciting. It's unbelievable," Stienessen said. "To be a part of the team that won the first championship feels great."

Cover meat with arugula or spinach, prosciutto and cheese then roll the meat, using the waxed paper to help roll up into a large log, working across the 6 to 8-inch side, resulting in a 12-inch long log. Drizzle the log with extra-virgin olive oil to coat lightly.
Roast meatroll 20 minutes. Cut into 1-inch slices, 3 pieces per portion, and serve. Make pasta while meat is in the oven.
Salt water and cook off pasta, about 7 to 8 minutes to al dente, with a bite to it. Drain and return pasta to hot pot.
While pasta cooks, place broccolini in 1-inch of water in a sauce pot and bring up to a boil. Add salt to the water and add the trimmed broccolini. Cover and cook 5 minutes, drain and reserve.
To hot, cooked pasta add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, butter, ricotta, lemon zest, thyme, broccolini and season with salt and pepper. Toss pasta to coat it in the cheese and butter. Season it with salt, to your taste. Portion pasta onto dinner plates alongside meat roll slices and top pasta with tomatoes and freshly ground pepper.

Separating the Beat character from the Beat-inspired actor wasn't always easy. "Everytime I'd see him," Stewart says of the years-long interim between casting and filming, when financing stalled production, "I'd be like, 'Are you already doing it?' He just never let up." That "free spririt" cited by Salles manifested itself after filming, when Hedlund would "just take off walking," Stewart says. Once, after Stewart let him lead her on an aimless 4 A. M. exploration of Montreal, she finally protested, "Dude, you don't know where you're going!" "But he just kept on walking," she recalls.

meditation on Baptism of Christ
The churchs one foundation
is Jesus Christ, her Lord
she is his new creation
by water and the word
from heaven he came and sought her
to be his Holy Bride
with his own blood he bought her
and for her life he died
elect from every nation
yet one over all the earth
her charter of salvation
one lord, one faith, one birth
one holy name she blesses
partakes one holy food
and to one hope she presses
with every grace endued
though with scorneful wonder
men see her sore opprest
by schisms rent asunder
by heresies distrest
yet saints their watch are keeping
their cry goes up "how long?"
and soon the night of weeping
shall be the morne of song
amid toil and tribulation
and tumalt of her war
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest
yet she on earth hath union
with God the three in one
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won
oh happy ones and Holy
Lord give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly
on high may dwell with thee
Eternal Father who at the Baptism of Jesus revealed him to be your Son anointing him with The Holy Spirit, grant to us, who are born again by water and the Spirit, that we may be faithful to our calling as your adopted children. Through Jesus Christ, your Son, Our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit. One God, now and forever.
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptised by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven "you are my Son, The beloved, with you I am well pleased"
Faith is the gift of GOD to his people, in Baptism the Lord is adding to our number those whom he is calling.
In Baptism GOD calls us out of darkness into his marvellous light. To follow Christ means dying to sin and rising to New life with him.
As a Royal Priesthood, let us pray to the Father, through Christ who ever lives to intercede for us: Reveal your Kingdom amoung the Nations, and may Peace abound and Justice Flourish. Send down upon us the gift of the Spirit, and renew your church with powers from on high. Deliver the oppressed, strengthen the weak, and heal and restore your creation.
There is one Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, by one Spirit we are all Baptised into one body. God has made us One in Christ. He had set his seal upon us and as a pledge of what is to come has given the Spirit to Dwell in our Hearts.
Come down Oh love divine
seek thou this soul of mine
and visit it with thine own ardour glowing
oh comforter draw near
within my hear appear
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing
and so the yearning strong
with which the sould will long
shall far outpass the power of human telling
for none can guess its grace
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes its dwelling
Lord of all time and eternity, you opened the heavens and revealed yourself as Father in the baptism of Jesus, your beloved Son. By the power of your Spirit, complete the heavenly work of our rebirth through the waters of the new creation.
May Almighty GOD deliver you from the powers of Darkness, restore in you the image of his glory, and lead you in the light and obedience of Christ

Students learn dangers of substance abuse
Minot High School-Central Campus sophomores got a graphic look at the dangers of substance abuse during the annual addiction symposium on Wednesday.
In the "Teen Maze," each student was given a disaster scenario that took him or her through a maze of law enforcement officers, medical personnel, addiction counselors or funeral homes who were set up at stations in the school gymnasium.
For a few of the students, just imagining what might happen was too much.
Biology teacher Julia Koble described how one girl couldn't bear the station where the funeral home was set up, complete with an empty coffin.
"She said, Mrs. Koble, I killed my baby and I had to go to the funeral parlor," said Koble.
Presenter Shelly Bohl, of the Family Crisis Center in Bottineau, said another girl refused to visit the funeral home station because her own mother is ill.
Koble and Bohl said those students were offered different scenarios. The school was trying to educate the students, not scare them.
Sophomores Makenna Sartwell, Alexis Meyer and Kaitlyn Stenberg said they think first-hand accounts of what can happen to someone busted for driving drunk or using drugs made a big impression on their classmates.
In the auditorium, Dr. Jeffrey Sather, Medical Director, Trinity ETC, and Karen Zimmerman, former ETC nurse, currently director of Clinical Excellence & Patient Safety at Trinity Hospital, gave a symposium based on their experiences in hospital emergency rooms. The girls said they told emergency room stories about meth addicts who harmed themselves because they experienced delusions caused by the drugs.
In the school music room, people who have struggled with addiction told their own personal stories.
In the Teen Maze, the girls heard what happens to people who end up in the penitentiary, working at janitorial and other menial jobs for $1.35 each day.
All of the stories will make kids think twice about abusing drugs and alcohol and ending up in the criminal justice system, they said.
Sartwell said the addiction symposium made her aware that addiction can happen to people she knows.
"It's not just the homeless people on the street that are doing it," she said. "It's people all around us."
Koble said this is the sixth annual addiction symposium but the first time they've been able to offer the Teen Maze, which gives students a more interactive experience. Everyone in the sophomore class went through it in shifts. There were 20 presenters from the area who participated.

Close cooperation with Morocco
Foreign Ministers El Othmani and Westerwelle
© photothek / Hünerfauth
On 23 November Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle met his Moroccan counterpart, Saad-Eddine El Othmani, who was paying his first visit to Germany. Their talks focused on bilateral and international topics as well as Morocco's reform policy.
Westerwelle stressed that Germany and Morocco enjoyed good bilateral relations. In October 2012 the first session of the German-Moroccan Joint Economic Commission took place in Berlin, creating a favourable environment for the further strengthening of ties between the two countries. Some 100 German businesses are active in Morocco. El Othmani thanked Germany for its support, for example in the sphere of vocational training, and said that this was very important. Westerwelle, in turn, welcomed the fact that Morocco had embarked on the path of domestic reform.
Both Foreign Ministers highlighted Morocco's international engagement. Like Germany, Morocco currently holds a non‑permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. There the two countries worked together in a spirit of trust, Westerwelle stated. Morocco will assume the Council's rotating Presidency in December. At the international level, Morocco and Germany are both committed to resolving the crisis in Mali. El Othmani stressed that his country supported the West African states who were acting as mediators in the conflict in order to create a united and stable government and to maintain Mali's territorial integrity.
Morocco to host the next meeting of the Group of Friends of the Syrian People
Morocco is also working to find a way to end the conflict in Syria. Westerwelle thanked El Othmani for hosting the next meeting of the Group of Friends of the Syrian People in December. Morocco was playing an important role in this context, too, he said. According to Westerwelle this meeting was intended to send a clear message of support to the National Coalition, which had recently been established by Syrian opposition groups. El Othmani stressed the need to provide humanitarian assistance to the people inside and outside Syria who were suffering from the conflict.

The filmstrip in Full Screen view has been streamlined to provide more room for thumbnails and make navigation easier.
Use the new control to snap the Inspector HUD and/or the filmstrip to the edge of your display, allowing them to remain onscreen without overlapping selected images.
Simplified Import Window
Customise the Import browser by showing only the import settings you want to use. Hiding unneeded options allows you to create a simpler, uncluttered Browser window.
Recent Destinations
Aperture 3 remembers the projects most recently used, allowing you to quickly add more items to them when importing new photos, video clips or audio clips.
Adjustment Presets on Import
Automatically apply adjustments to images as they are imported using new adjustment presets. You can choose any combination of image adjustments, including Auto Levels, Auto Exposure and Auto Curves, as part of the preset.
Autosplit Projects
On import, Aperture can use time-stamp data to automatically split photos into separate projects by day, week, or intervals of 2 or 8 hours.
Autosplit Headers
Before you import photos, Aperture 3 shows you the groups into which they'll be split in the Import window, giving you an opportunity to change the autosplit setting to suit your needs.
Default Import Location
Set a preference indicating where you want Aperture to import new images — into a new, automatically created project or into the project selected in the Library inspector.
Selection Checkboxes
Use the checkboxes on image thumbnails to identify the photos you want Aperture to import. After selecting multiple photos, use Check All to quickly select all images for import, or Uncheck All to reset import status.
Preview Images Before Import
Double-click any image in the Import window to view it at a larger size. You can also play video and audio clips before importing them.
Double-Click to Close Column Browser
Double-click the resize handle on the column browser to instantly maximise the browser and viewer space in the Import window.
Expanded EXIF Data in Import Window
Display EXIF data — such as f-stop, shutter speed and ISO — for each of the images before importing them.
New Project Options
Create and name a new project directly from the Import pane, avoiding the need to switch to the Library inspector to set it up.
Create Metadata Presets on Import
Create new metadata presets in the Import window as needed. The presets can contain any combination of metadata fields you want to include in the imported images.
Filter File Types
Set Aperture to include or exclude specific types of files, such as video clips, audio files or audio attachments, on import.
Locked/Flagged Image Support
Selectively import only the images you have tagged or locked in the camera. This new option makes it easy to import your most important images first.
Backup on Import
Automatically back up your master images to a second drive during import, freeing you from the need to perform a separate, manual backup.
Faster Thumbnails on Import
Image thumbnails load faster when you're importing photos into Aperture 3, so you can see and begin working on images quickly.
RAW+JPEG Import
Enjoy more control over how Aperture imports photos you capture in the RAW+JPEG format. Choose to have Aperture import RAW and JPEG images as joined pairs or separate images. If you prefer, you can also have Aperture automatically import only the RAW images or only the JPEG images.
Import Matching RAW
If you imported only the JPEG images of RAW+JPEG pairs, you can select any imported JPEG images captured in the RAW+JPEG format and have Aperture import the matching RAW image from each pair.
Actions on Import
Select any AppleScript script to automatically run immediately after import.
Drag and Drop from Import Window
Select any combination of photos in the Import window and drop them into any project in the Library inspector to import them into the project.
Drop on Aperture Icon to Import
Quickly import photos into Aperture from the Finder by dragging selected images or an entire folder of images and dropping them onto the Aperture icon. Drop selected images on the icon, and Aperture creates a new, untitled project for them in the current library. Drop a folder on the icon, and Aperture creates a new project based on the name of the folder.
Adjust During Import
During import, Aperture 3 lets you make adjustments to new images even while they're being copied from a flash card or external hard drive. View and adjust full-resolution images at any point during the import process, while Aperture handles the file copying in the background.
Organisation and Library Management
Customisable Project Order
Arrange projects, albums and other library items appearing in the Library inspector, in any order you want.
Select Multiple Items in Library Inspector
View, move or delete multiple projects, albums or folders by Shift-clicking (for contiguous selections), or Command-clicking (for noncontiguous selections) any number of items in the Library inspector.
Flagged Items
Flag any item in the library by clicking the Flag button or pressing the Slash (/) key. To view flagged items, click Flagged in the Library inspector.
Colour Labels
Apply up to eight different colour-coded labels to images to organise and group them. Add a custom name for each colour label in Aperture preferences. Simple keyboard shortcuts allow you to apply labels using the keyboard.
Converts Colour Labels in Finder
On import, Aperture 3 automatically converts colour labels assigned to images in the Finder into Aperture colour labels. Conversely, if you export images, colour labels assigned to them in Aperture are converted to Finder colour labels.
Aperture Trash
Aperture 3 places deleted items in the new Trash folder that appears in the Library inspector. As in iPhoto, you can retrieve unintentionally deleted items from the Trash by dragging them back into the desired project.
Project Info
Enter and view information about each project — including a description, location data (with map), and number of items — in the new Info heads-up display (HUD). You can also use this window to set the key photo for the project.
Library Inspector Filtering
Use the new search field in the Library inspector to search within the pane for projects based on name, description, or any Faces or Places data associated with the photos in the project.
Show in Project
Select a photo in a Smart Album, for example, and Aperture can display that image within the project it belongs to.
Duplicate Project Structure
Easily duplicate the structure of a selected project or folder — including its hierarchy of folders, Smart Albums and other elements — without duplicating the images. This new Aperture command allows you to "clone" the structure of a favourite project or folder and use it for another campaign, event or photo shoot.
Specify Sort Order in Library Inspector
Use the new Library inspector to specify a default sort order for each folder or project in an Aperture library. This allows you to maintain a persistent sort order for folders and projects. You can create a custom sort order or have Aperture sort by name or date.
Reveal Library
Click the Reveal Library button in Aperture preferences to see where your currently selected default library is located in the Finder.
Version-Stacking Options
Specify whether you want Aperture to automatically stack newly created versions with their "parent" images.
Project Merging
To merge two projects into one, use the Projects view to simply drag one project tile onto another. Alternatively, you can select two or more projects in the Library inspector and choose Merge Projects from the File menu.
Merge and Sync Libraries
To merge two or more Aperture libraries, simply drag one Aperture library into another. If any of the merged projects match those already in the library, Aperture automatically updates those items with the most recent changes.
Export as Library
Export any item or combination of items — for example, projects, albums, slideshows or books — as a standalone Aperture library. Once you create standalone libraries, you can open them on any Mac running Aperture without having to first import them into an existing Aperture library.
Fast Library Switching
Close one Aperture library and open another on the fly by selecting the desired library from the Switch to Library submenu — no need to quit and restart Aperture.
Recent Libraries Menu
Switch among frequently used libraries faster. Use the Switch to Library command to display a list of your most recently opened Aperture libraries.
Library Chooser
Hold down the Option key when opening Aperture to display the Library Chooser window, which lists all the Aperture libraries available on your Mac. Then pick the one you want from the list or click Create New to start a new library. The Library Chooser window displays the location of each library, along with the number of masters and versions each library contains.
Project Grouping
In Projects view, group library projects by year or by folder for easier browsing.
Navigating Project Groups
When you have grouped projects in Projects view, simply click a header to "drill down," filtering your view down to a specific group of projects. For example, click the 2009 header to view only projects with photos from 2009.
More Project Sorting Options
In Projects view, sort your projects by name or in the custom order defined in the Library inspector.
Expand and Collapse Library Elements
Hide or reveal the Projects & Albums section of the Library inspector for a less cluttered look.
Library Name Display
Aperture 3 displays the name of your current library at the top of the Library inspector. This allows you to see at a glance the name of the current library, a handy feature if you frequently switch among multiple libraries.
Easier Project and Album Naming
When you create a new project or album, a dialogue prompts you to enter a name and gives you the option of including currently selected items in the new album. If you create a new project, the dialogue also lets you move selected items into the project automatically.
Choose RAW or JPEG as Master
If you import RAW+JPEG pairs, you can now tell Aperture whether to display the RAW or JPEG as the master image, on an image-by-image basis.
Metadata/Adjustments Sync for RAW+JPEG Pairs
Apply metadata and image adjustments to either the RAW or JPEG version of a RAW+JPEG pair. The two stay in sync as you switch between them.
Aperture Library First Aid
Hold down the Option and Command keys when opening Aperture 3 to access new Library First Aid tools. The tools can check the database for consistency and make needed repairs to the database, to permissions, or to other library elements.
iLife/iWork Preview Sharing
Use the new preview-sharing options in Aperture 3 preferences to optimise the application's performance. You can now opt to have Aperture share previews only when you quit the program, instead of when you switch to other applications during a work session.
Photo Stream
Photo Stream View
Photo Stream view displays a rolling collection of the last 1,000 photos you took on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
Your Mac can save the photos that come through your Photo Stream to your library, organised into Aperture projects by the month and year they were taken.
The photos you import from a camera or SD card to your library can also appear in your Photo Stream. Then you can view them on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch — or on your other computers.
Camera "LCD" Panel
Aperture 3 includes a new LCD-style pane — called Camera Info — at the top of the Metadata inspector. Camera Info displays important photo information, including camera settings, labels and flags. The easy-to-read display emulates the LCD screen on many digital cameras.
IPTC Core Metadata Support
Aperture 3 supports all IPTC Core metadata fields and provides a new IPTC Core metadata view.
Write IPTC Metadata to Master
The Write IPTC Metadata to Master command will write IPTC metadata into the master file of the selected version, eliminating the need to export master images in order to embed this data.
Batch Rename Masters
When using the Batch Change feature to rename photos, you now have the option of applying the name change to the master image files on disk.
Import XMP Sidecar Data
While importing images, Aperture now imports metadata from XMP sidecar files located with them.
Sizes Displayed in Megapixels
Aperture 3 now displays image size in two ways: pixel dimensions (for example, 4372 x 2906) and megapixels (for example, 12.7 MP). The addition of megapixels means you no longer have to multiply pixel values yourself.
Visual Feedback When Keywording
When you assign keywords to photos in the Viewer by dragging and dropping, Aperture now highlights the images and displays an "Assign Keywords" text alert.
New Default Metadata Views
Aperture 3 provides an improved set of metadata views, including GPS, IPTC Core and Custom Fields.
Improved Editing of Metadata Views
Aperture 3 organises all supported metadata fields hierarchically with sections you can expand and collapse. This makes it easy to choose the fields you want displayed.
Focus Points
Hover over the Focus Points button in the Camera Info pane to see the focus points used by your camera to autofocus the image. You can also click the button to turn the display of focus points on or off.
Editable Rating, Label and Flag Controls in Metadata Pane
Aperture 3 now allows you to change ratings, apply colour labels, and turn flags on and off in the Metadata pane.
Large Caption Metadata View
Switch to the Large Caption view when entering captions. In this view, Aperture increases the size of the field and font, making caption writing easier.
IPTC Date Created "Date Picker"
The Date Created field is now prepopulated with the current date and time. Selector buttons make it easier to enter a specific date and time in the correct format.
Modeless Reordering of Fields in Metadata Pane
Click and drag field names at any time to rearrange metadata in exactly the order you want.
Metadata Pane Map
If GPS data is available, click the Map button to display a small, resizable map at the bottom of the Metadata pane, showing the location of your photos. Aperture can display the location using Terrain, Road or Satellite view.
Selectable Location Names
Choose the location name you want assigned to each photo. In Aperture 3, a location can include the name of a country, state, city and point of interest. You can decide whether to use a point of interest — such as Kealakekua Bay — or simply the state — Hawaii — as a photo's location name.
Metadata Overlays Button
Use the new Browser & Viewer Metadata Overlays button to switch between alternate metadata sets, a large set and a smaller set. This button makes it easier to hide or show metadata in the Viewer or Browser.
Simplified Custom Field Creation
To create new fields to store custom data, simply choose Manage Custom Fields from the Action pop-up menu in the Metadata pane and set up as many as you need. To see all the custom fields you've created, switch to the Custom Fields metadata view. You can also choose to include custom fields in any metadata view.
Search by Photo Usage
You can now find items in your library based on whether they have ever been exported, emailed, printed, or ordered as prints or in a book.
Search for Attachments
Quickly find any photos that have audio files attached to them.
Search by Place
Filter and search projects based on any location name associated with the corresponding GPS coordinates. Aperture 3 also lets you search for photos that don't yet have a GPS location, so you can add it manually.
Search by Face
Find photos based on named faces. This powerful search option lets you quickly find only photos containing faces or just those containing unnamed faces. You can also filter out photos in which Aperture detected no faces.
Search for Externally Edited Photos
Use this new search option to quickly find any images that were edited using an external editor or plug-in.
Search by Label
Find photos across your entire library based on colour label. You can search for multiple colour labels simultaneously. For example, you can have Aperture find all photos tagged with either green or blue labels.
Search by File Type
Aperture 3 lets you search for images by type — for example, RAW, JPEG or TIFF — as well as for audio files and video clips.
Search by Album Name or Project Path
Search for images based on which album they are in or based on the folder hierarchy you've set up in your Aperture library.
Improved Search by Text
When searching metadata by text string in the Filter HUD, you can use the pop-up menu in the Text field to switch between full-text search (all available metadata strings) and the faster limited-text search. Limited-text search now searches additional items, including keywords, version name, caption, filename, project name and capture year (if the input appears to be a number, such as 2002).
Quick Label Filtering
The search field in the Browser now contains a pop-up menu that lets you quickly filter a set of photos by colour label, without having to open the Filter HUD.
Smart Album Scoping
Control the scope of searches performed by Smart Albums with the click of a button. In Aperture 3, you can set the scope of a Smart Album search to the container the albums are in — for example, a project — or instantly widen the scope of the search to include the entire library.
Image Adjustments
Nondestructive Brushes
Make nondestructive image enhancements to specific areas of any photo using new adjustment brushes. Use brush strokes to modify — brush in or brush away — most of the standard image adjustments available in the Adjustments inspector. You can control the size, softness and strength of each brush with intuitive sliders.
Support for Pressure-Sensitive Tablets
If you apply image adjustments using a graphics tablet, such as the Wacom pen tablet, you can use pressure to control the strength of the brush.
Detect Edges
Turn on the Detect Edges option, and Aperture will detect hard edges as you brush, making it easier to brush adjustments into specific areas of a photo.
Feather Tool
Blend adjustments more easily — and achieve more realistic results — by taking advantage of the feathering tool available for each imaging adjustment brush.
Brush Overlays
Examine the selective adjustments you've made using any of the adjustment brushes as a colour overlay or as isolated brush strokes, choosing from four view modes: Color Overlay, Brush Strokes, On Black and On White.
Brush Ranges
Restrict enhancements to the particular tonal range — highlights, midtones or shadows — for any brush you use.
Apply/Clear/Invert Brush Strokes
For any brush, use menu commands to apply the brushed effect to the entire image, remove all the brush strokes, or invert the brush strokes to change the affected area.
Adjustment Presets
If you use a combination of adjustments frequently, save it as a preset. Then apply the preset to individual images or a batch of images. Aperture 3 includes dozens of ready-to-use presets, and you can easily create your own and export them for use by others.
Live Previews
See the result of an image adjustment before applying it with a live preview. The Presets pop-up menu in the Adjustments inspector displays a preview of each preset applied to your image, allowing you to assess the effect of the preset before you apply it.
Add/Replace Preset
Hold down the Option key when choosing an adjustment preset to have Aperture replace all previous adjustments with the new preset.
Autofix Preset Support
When creating an image adjustment preset, you can opt to include Auto Exposure, Auto Levels and Auto Curves adjustments.
Support for Brushes in Presets
Create presets that include brushed-in or brushed-away adjustments for special effects — for example, adding interesting edge treatments to images.
Improved Histogram
Use the redesigned — and more vivid — histogram to see the intersection of the red, green and blue channels more easily.
White Balance Shortcut
To select the White Balance eyedropper, simply press Command-Shift-W instead of manually selecting it.
Adjustments Pop-up Menu
Easily add image adjustment tools by using the simplified pop-up menu at the top of the Adjustments inspector. See at a glance the adjustment tools already available in the inspector by looking for the dot next to the name of each tool.
Create Multiple Instances of Adjustments
Apply multiple adjustments of a single type to different parts of an image by creating multiple adjustment bricks for each adjustment. For example, set one Levels adjustment to create the perfect sky. Then add another Levels adjustment brick to selectively perfect skin tones. To add a new instance of an adjustment, choose the Add New option from the Action pop-up menu in each adjustment brick.
New Auto Buttons
Quickly make exposure adjustments by using the Auto buttons now available in the Exposure, Levels, and Curves adjustment bricks.
Chromatic Aberration Filter
Remove the colour fringing that can occur along edges due to optical issues by using the new Chromatic Aberration filter. The adjustments can be brushed in or brushed away as needed to achieve desired results.
Powerful New Curves Tool
Use the new Curves tool to adjust exposure and tweak colour. Curve adjustments can be applied to luminance, RGB or individual colour channels. You can set the black, white and midtone points, as well as place custom points along the curve using a target tool. All Curves adjustments can be brushed in or brushed away as needed to achieve desired results.
Linear or Gamma-Corrected Mode
The Curves tool can operate in two different modes — Linear and Gamma-Corrected — depending on which best suits the image. Linear mode is best when dealing with extended range data and highlights, while Gamma-Corrected mode can be especially helpful when working with shadows.
Range Support in Curves Tool
Because the Curves tool supports the "extended range" data sometimes available in RAW images, you can set the Range control in Curves to Extended in order to see the "out of range" highlight data that you may be able to recover. You can then use controls in the Curves tool to pull blown highlights back in and improve detail in highlight areas. Alternatively, you can set the range to Shadows and focus on the lower-left quadrant of the tone curve to make extremely precise Shadow adjustments.
Quick Brushes
Use the new Quick Brushes pop-up menu in the Adjustments toolbar to gain immediate access to 15 ready-to-use brushes for the most common enhancement tasks. Quick Brushes include Skin Smoothing, Polarize, Intensify Contrast, Tint and others.
Skin Smoothing
Use the new Skin Smoothing brush to apply a gentle blur effect, creating smoother-looking skin. Use the Radius, Detail and Intensity controls to refine your adjustments.
Edit with Plug-in Menu Item
Use the new "Edit with Plug-in" menu command to find and access editing plug-ins you've downloaded and installed in Aperture.
Deepen colour, and darken shadow areas and midtones, without affecting the black and white points in an image using the new Polarize brush. Polarize creates an effect similar to a polarising filter by using a Multiply blend.
Intensify Contrast (Overlay) Filter
Use this brush to intensify contrast across an image, making dark areas darker and light areas lighter. This filter produces an effect equivalent to using an Overlay blend.
Selectively shift the hue in part of an image, using the Tint brush to change the hue value of affected pixels.
Paint a Gaussian blur into any portion of an image, such as the background. Increase or decrease the amount of blur painted into the selection area by using the Intensity slider until you achieve desired results.
Halo Reduction
Use Halo Reduction to remove blue and purple fringes sometimes produced with certain lenses on overexposed areas. Simply paint over the halos to remove unwanted fringing. The brush can be used to eliminate difficult halos when Chromatic Aberration alone cannot completely remove them.
Vanishing HUD
If you hold down the Shift key while moving an adjustment slider in the Adjustments HUD, the HUD vanishes, giving you an unobstructed view of your photo as you make adjustments.
Zoom Navigator
The new Zoom Navigator helps you move around zoomed photos by displaying a thumbnail of the zoomed photo when you hover the pointer over the navigator.
Dodge and Burn Brushes
Use these Quick Brushes to lighten and darken select parts of an image nondestructively.
External Editor Menu Item
If you set the application you want to use as your external editor (such as Photoshop Elements) in preferences, Aperture now displays that choice (such as Edit with Photoshop Elements) in the Photos menu.
Set Colour Space for External Editor
In preferences, Aperture 3 lets you define the colour profile to be assigned to TIFF or PSD files exported to an external editor for round-tripping.
Variable-Level Zoom
Easily set the percentage of magnification when zooming images in the new Zoom Navigator. Using the slider, you can set the zoom level from 25 percent to 1000 percent.
Keyboard Zooming
Use Command-Plus and Command-Minus on the keyboard to zoom images at predefined increments.
Visible Switch to Show Crop Guides
Aperture 3 provides a checkbox in the Crop HUD to turn rule-of-thirds crop guides on and off.
Output Megapixel Size when Cropping
Check the Crop HUD to see the resulting size of the cropped image in megapixels, based on the dimensions of the crop.
Batch Apply Adjustments
Apply any available adjustments to any selected photos using the new Add Adjustment submenu in the Photos menu. Selecting the submenu opens the inspector (if closed) and displays the Adjustments pane.
Face Detection and Recognition
Aperture 3 automatically detects faces in photos when you import them. It then compares the faces and finds similar ones. Aperture supports all the Faces features introduced in iPhoto '09, extending and enhancing many of them.
Show Unnamed Faces
Click the Show Unnamed Faces button to reveal faces detected in your library that have not yet been named. In Aperture, you can limit the unnamed faces displayed to a specific project or album; or you can have Aperture display unnamed faces across your entire library.
Detect Missing Faces
Use the Detect Missing Faces contextual menu command to rescan a selected photo to find potential matching faces that weren't detected during the initial image scan.
Faces Background
Aperture lets you turn the corkboard background in Faces view on or off.
View Faces by Project, Album or Folder
Instead of displaying all the named people throughout your whole library, Aperture lets you limit the faces displayed in Faces view to individuals named in a specific folder, project or album. Doing so can speed the process of finding photos of a particular person.
Limit Suggestions to Project
To expedite the confirmation of possible matches in Name mode (for example, "Is this Elizabeth?"), you can set Aperture to suggest only names used in the same project rather than throughout your library.
Export Names as Keywords
When you export photos that include people you've named using the Faces feature, the names are embedded as IPTC keywords in the resulting image files so that the names are "readable" by other applications that display standard IPTC metadata.
Enable/Disable Faces
Turn face detection on or off in preferences. Turning it off stops Aperture from scanning photos for faces when importing new photos and hides Faces in the Library inspector.
Aperture 3 extends and enhances the Places technology introduced in iPhoto '09. Places allows you to organise photos based on where they were taken, using GPS data embedded in photos when you took them or location data added in Aperture.
Interactive Maps
See where you took your photos on an interactive map displayed in Aperture. Choose from road maps or view satellite images with or without labels.
Map Zoom Navigator
Use the mini-map (in the lower-right corner of the main Places map) to quickly navigate the large map.
View Places by Project, Album or Folder
To find photos faster, you can limit the locations displayed in Places view to those associated with photos in a specific folder, project or album, rather than searching across your whole library.
Consolidated Search Results
When searching for places on a map, Aperture scans the extensive Apple database of locations to deliver a consolidated list of matching results.
Show/Hide Location Badges
In Places view, Aperture automatically marks the thumbnails of photos to which you have added GPS data with a "pin" badge. You can opt to hide the badges by choosing Hide Location Badges from the Action pop-up menu.
Support for GPS Track Logs
In Aperture, you can easily assign locations to photos by importing the track log from a GPS receiver. Then simply drag photos onto the track to have Aperture sync the photos to the location data in the track log. You can also reset the time zone of the track in Aperture.
Support for iPhone Photo GPS Locations
Import GPS locations for the photos you take with your GPS-enabled iPhone directly into Aperture. Then use the data to assign locations to photos already in your library.
Places Path Navigator
Use the Places Path Navigator pop-up menus in Places view to jump to any country, state, province, city or point of interest where you have taken photos.
Move Pins to Relocate
To reassign locations or correct GPS errors, just click the Move Pins button and drag location pins to a new spot on the map.
Command-Drag to Zoom
Want a fast way to zoom the map? Simply Command-drag to create a selection rectangle over the part of the map you want to see, and Aperture zooms the selected area to fill the map window.
Remove Location
Remove GPS data you've assigned to any photo by choosing Remove Location from the Action pop-up menu in Places view.
Map + Photos View
In Places view, Aperture displays both a map and your photo thumbnails. Click any thumbnail to highlight the location where the photo was taken on the map. Or click any pin on the map, and Aperture selects the corresponding thumbnail. This works when you click multiple thumbnails or pins as well.
Show/Hide Tracks and Waypoints
When working with imported GPS track files, you can choose to show or hide individual track paths on the map.
Show Unplaced Photos
Easily find photos that don't yet have location data. In Places view, select the Show Unplaced Photos option and Aperture filters the thumbnail browser to display only photos that have not been placed on the map (that is, to which no locations have been assigned).
Smart Album View
After zooming the map to any location, create a Smart Album that will automatically display only photos located in that view. As you add new photos taken at locations in the designated area, Aperture adds them to the Smart Album.
Web Publishing
Publish to Facebook
Click the Facebook button to publish selected photos directly to your Facebook account. People named using the Faces feature are automatically tagged with Facebook names, and published albums can be automatically updated as you add, remove or edit photos.
Publish to Flickr
Publish directly to your Flickr account from Aperture. If you've added locations to photos, Aperture includes the GPS information, so photos are automatically mapped on Flickr. Published albums can be automatically updated as you add, remove or edit photos.
Publish to SmugMug
Publish photos directly to your SmugMug account from Aperture. If you make further edits to your photos, Aperture will automatically sync the changes to your SmugMug galleries. And you can even view your SmugMug comments directly in Aperture.
Video and Audio
Video Support
Import, browse and play back video clips — including HD video — from digital SLR cameras, point-and-shoot cameras and digital camcorders.
Audio Support
Import and play back audio clips in standard audio formats, such as AIFF and MP3.
Clip Trimming
Set start and end points (In and Out points) for audio and video clips. You can trim clips during import or at any time after you have imported clips into the library.
External Editors
Aperture lets you designate separate external editing applications for audio and video clips.
Space Bar Playback
To play or pause video, simply press the Space bar after selecting a video or audio clip.
Create JPEG from Frame
Aperture lets you create a still JPEG image from any frame in a video clip.
Import Audio Attachments
If you used the microphone on your digital SLR to record audio attachments, Aperture can import the audio and keep it attached to the corresponding photo.
Audio Attachment Player
When you select a photo that has attached audio, the Metadata inspector includes audio controls so you can play and trim the audio.
Attach Audio File
Turn any audio clip in a project into an audio attachment by linking it to a specific image. Once attached, the audio clip is connected to the image and can be played using the Metadata inspector.
Detach Audio File
Aperture lets you detach audio that was recorded as an audio attachment and turn it into a standalone audio clip.
A/V Rating, Keywords and Labels
Organise multimedia content in your library using any combination of ratings, keywords and colour labels — just as you do with photos.
A/V Metadata
The Metadata inspector displays the duration, size and frame rate for any selected video clip. For audio clips, the inspector displays the duration, format and bit rate.
Set Poster Frame for Video Clips
Choose any frame in the clip as the thumbnail image representing the video.
Slideshow Themes
Aperture 3 offers eight slideshow themes, including six from iPhoto '09 and two new themes: Watercolor Panels and Photo Edges.
Saved Slideshows
Create a simple slideshow on the fly. Or build an advanced slideshow and save it in your library for future use.
Slideshow Skimming
Once you save a slideshow you're working on, you can skim across thumbnails in the Timeline-style browser to preview transitions, titles and the timing of the entire slideshow.
When using the Classic and Ken Burns themes, you can choose from a dozen transitions, including Dissolve, Fade through Black and Fade through White.
Borders and Insets with Fit or Fill Cropping
The Classic and Ken Burns themes give you the flexibility to frame images by defining a custom colour border and inset for each photo. Then you can have images cropped to fit within your borders and insets or to fill the screen during a slideshow.
Custom Ken Burns Effect
Easily set a custom pan/zoom on each slide using simple iMovie-style controls for setting the start and end cropping rectangles. You can do this in either the Classic or Ken Burns theme.
Text on Slides
In addition to the text on the main title slide, you can add text to any slide using any font, style or colour you choose. Aperture allows you to include text from specific fields (such as Date, Location, or Title) or to enter custom text for each slide.
Main Titles
All slideshows, including the ready-to-use themes, give you the option to include a main title slide. You can set the font, style and colour for this initial title.
Slideshow Display Preference
Specify the screen on which you want slideshows to appear — the main display or the secondary display. This allows you to run Aperture in presenter mode on a notebook computer, using the projected display to show only the slideshow to your audience.
Set Aspect Ratio
Choose from a number of standard aspect ratios, including HDTV, iPhone or the aspect ratio of your computer display.
Aperture Audio Browser
Use the Audio browser to access audio clips or audio tracks associated with video clips stored in your Aperture library. This makes it easy to build the soundtrack for your slideshow.
Audio Controls
Control the volume, fade in and fade out for each audio or video clip added to a slideshow.
Automatic Ducking
You can set any audio or video clip in a slideshow to automatically reduce the volume of the main soundtrack while playing.
Secondary Audio Track
Besides including a main audio track in a slideshow (such as background music), you can add a secondary audio track, such as a voiceover or narration, to create a true layered soundtrack.
Insert Blank Slide
When using the Classic and Ken Burns themes, you can insert blank, solid-colour slides to divide a slideshow into sections. You can also create a blank slide with editable title text.
Record Slide Durations
Aperture 3 offers an easy way to sync slide durations to a slideshow's soundtrack. Instead of entering the numeric timing for each slide, you can "record" the slide duration by playing the slideshow and pressing the Return key each time you want a slide to change.
Distribute Slide Timing
Use this option to reset the timing of a selected group of slides, so that each slide has the same duration.
Fit Selected Slides to Audio Track
Aperture lets you expand or reduce the timing of a selected group of slides to fit the duration of the main soundtrack exactly.
Export Slideshow as Movie
In Aperture, you can now export slideshows in a number of predefined formats, including YouTube, iPhone, Apple TV, HD and 1080p. You can also specify a custom size and frame rate, and export slideshows using either the H.264 or MPEG-4 codec.
Video Support
You can now add video clips — including HD video — to any slideshow.
Photo Books
New Extra-Large Book
Choose the new 13x10-inch size in any Aperture book theme to create an impressive coffee table-style photo book.
New Book Themes
Aperture 3 includes two new book themes: Photo Essay, a simple, elegant photojournalist-style layout; and Journal, which includes scrapbook-style borders and large spreads.
Travel Maps
Use the new Photo Essay or Journal theme to illustrate your photo books with customisable maps, showing the locations of any or all of the photos in your book.
Simplified Book Editing Tools
Redesigned buttons make it easier to switch from editing content and layout to adding new photo and text boxes to a book.
Photo Book Plug-ins
Aperture 3 now lets you create and order books from a number of the leading, high-end album companies, such as Couture, Graphistudio, Leather Craftsmen and Queensberry. Book themes developed and provided by these companies plug directly into Aperture, allowing you to create your book layouts and then connect, order and upload your finished book with a few clicks.
Custom Printing Presets
Define print settings that include custom margins and borders, and save them as presets that can be reused for future print jobs.
Interactive Layout Tools
Instead of entering dimensions in fields, you can simply drag margin lines and guides in the print preview window to interactively control the margins of your print layout and size photos as desired.
Use the new vertical and horizontal rulers to design precise page layouts.
Same Photo Per Page
Select the Same Photo Per Page option, and Aperture will use a selected photo for each printed page. You can use this option, for example, to print a page of wallet-size photos of a single image.
Crop Image to Fill
If the photo boxes on your page layout don't match the aspect ratio of your photos, you can use this option to automatically crop the photos to fill each box. You can further adjust positioning by double-clicking a photo to pan and zoom it within the photo box.
Aperture 3 lets you easily add borders with a custom width and colour to images you print.
Custom Headers
Customise prints by adding a title, a subtitle, or your own logo to the header of any print or contact sheet.
Automatic Page Numbering
Aperture can add page numbers to multipage contact sheets and prints.
Comment Lines
When adding notes and comments to contact sheets, you can now specify the number of comment lines that appear under photos.
N-up Printing
Simply specify the number of photos you want to appear on a page, and Aperture 3 creates the layout for you. Want more control? You can also specify row and column spacing.
Print-Only Adjustments
Compensate for the output characteristics of your printer by adjusting the brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness of images on the fly. The adjustments apply only to the print output and do not affect the image versions themselves.
Print Metadata
You can now include metadata on any print — not just contact sheets. Aperture lets you position metadata to appear below, above or beside each image.
Set Metadata Font and Size
Choose the font, style, and size for metadata on prints and contact sheets.
Print Watermarks
Now Aperture can automatically apply graphic watermarks not only when exporting images, but when printing as well.
Rendering Intent Control
When printing, choose from two rendering intent options: Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual.
iOS 5 Photo Features
Non-destructive Image Adjustments
Auto-enhance, crop, straighten, rotate — adjustments you make to photos on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch will be preserved when you import into Aperture. And all your edits are non-destructive, so you can revert to your original image at any time.
Wi-Fi Sync
Use iTunes to wirelessly sync the contents of your Aperture library to your iOS devices. You can sync any combination of Events, Albums and Faces to get exactly the photos you want on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
Additional Properties
The scripting dictionary in Aperture 3 includes support for new properties, such as colour labels, flags, and GPS longitude and latitude.
Image Adjustment Preset Class
Create scripts that automatically apply adjustment presets to images.
Access to the Trash Folder
The scripting dictionary includes support for moving photos to and from the Trash.
Remove Adjustments
You can now use an AppleScript script to remove adjustments from images.
Update from Masters
Scripts can now include a command that rereads EXIF data from master images. This can be useful for images imported into previous versions of Aperture that did not support fields for lens type and other EXIF data supported in subsequent versions.
64-Bit Support (requires Snow Leopard and Intel Core 2 Duo processor)
With Snow Leopard, the Mac can support up to 16 terabytes of memory, and 64-bit applications like Aperture 3 can take advantage of this larger memory capacity.

Could be devastating
So we avoided the fiscal cliff this week.
Before going out and popping the champagne, let us quickly throw some ice cold water on your celebration. If you work, you are going to be taking home a lot less income this year as neither Democrats, nor Republicans, did anything to prevent a 2 percent increase in payroll taxes from taking effect.
The tax had been 4.2 percent but as of Jan. 1, increased to 6.2 percent. President Barack Obama and Congress had lowered the tax the past two years, when it was a priority of the president's to help combat the recession, but no one was advocating continuation of the reduction this year.
The impact, frankly, will be sobering for wage earners.
In statistics being reported by the Tax Policy Center, it would cost the average family about $579 a year. For workers earning the national average of $41,000, the increase would result in $32 less on every biweekly check.
Yes, the increase merely returns the tax to what it was two years ago. But at this point in a fragile economy trying to make a rebound, 2 percent could be devastating. Phasing it back 1 percent at a time would have seemed more responsible.
Unfortunately, for many who believed avoiding the fiscal cliff would retain their wages and taxes at current levels, that won't be the case. And, in the growing divide in our country between the "haves" and "have nots," it is another blister sure to be an irritant that could fester and get worse.
We agree with the president's logic two years ago that the reduction was necessary. While we believe that indeed the country is emerging from the recession, we also believe it wouldn't take much to bounce us right back there again. An increase at the percentage we're talking about would seem to us to be such a negative catalyst.
We doubt there's much any of us can do about the increase at this point. However, when you receive your first paycheck of the year, remember to send your thanks to President Obama, Sens. Levin and Stabenow and Congressman Benishek.
