Macworld Expo - Day 1 - Aperture
Today was an awesome day. I went to the Aperture session and loved it. I actually understood a lot of what they were talking about; I was very surprised. I guess I am smarter than I think I am. ;-)
The session was lead by two great presenters, Derrick Story and Scott Bourne. Derrick lead most of the session by describing the features and the advantages of Aperture while Scott add some color commentary and should some really cool Aperture Tricks.
Aperture is definitely an App I want to learn more about. Unfortunately, I don't have a computer system that will run it (even though I do own the App, it runs on Lucien's work machine). I think I will be using the select and compare features a lot. I tend to take a lot of pictures of the same image with the hope that at least one of the pictures will turn out OK. With the stack feature of Aperture, I will be able to group the like photos and compare the photos in order to get the best image. I also love the feature where you can change the time zone of the image on import. I needed that last year because often when I traveled to Asia I often forgot to change the time zone on my camera and there is not an easy way to batch change the time on an image in iPhoto. I could go on about all the stuff I learned today, but it's late and I have a big day tomorrow also. ;-)
Tomorrow, I will be attending the Digital Photography Day. I signed up for the beginning sessions, since I don't think of myself as an "Advance" Photographer. I think I may end up regretting that decision, I will let you know tomorrow.
Hopefully, tomorrow I will have some pictures to post. I have not taken a single picture yet this week, which is unusual for me. ;-)

Hey Jenn,
Great coverage of the convention, I look forward to reading about Final Cut Pro, especially since I'm going to make the cross-over from the dark side.
