Video: Image Editing With Plug-ins in Aperture

I just came back from a trip to the wonderful city of Vienna and I had lots of shots of buildings and monuments. unfortunately, because the lens I was using has lots of distortion I had to rely on some external plug-ins for getting the best from the images. In order to give you a glimpse at the workflow I was using, and also some tips for using plug-ins I recorded a little video. And so, the Podcast has finally returned with a new episode! I hope you enjoy.

Here’s a link to the plug-ins I used in this Video:

PT-Lens

Sharpener Pro

Color Efex Pro 4

    Hi Thomas,
    Thank you very much for this demonstartion. Can you let me know whoch computer are you using? I am still on a iMac Core2Duo 3.06 Ghz and my plug-ins by far do not work as fast and fluent as on your machine.
    Cheers from Beijing,

    Just wonder. Why not use a proper lense instead of needing to adjust every shot by software?

    I thought my €1000 Nikon lens was a proper lens?

    Thanks for the demo! It was quick and short and straight to the point! I have one question though: doesn’t editing a picture with plugins end up generating a new Tiff file? Does that mean you end up with some 2 or 3 versions of each file? Wouldn’t that end up taking a lot of disk space… I have just started using Aperture and my biggest pet peeve is that it does not do lens correctly directly on the RAW files.
