Use albums to adjust images in Aperture stacks
Authored by: Unsoluble on Jul 17, '07 01:27:21PM

Why not just make your adjusted versions the "picks" with Command-\ ? Then you don't have all these extra albums hanging around, and you can always export the masters with two clicks whenever you need them. Don't see the benefit of the proposed workflow...

Here is why this is useful

This method becomes interesting when you have to create (and maintain) several sets of adjustments. Imagine you want to create b/w versions of a largish number of images but still maintain the coloured versions. It's easy to create versions and stamp the b/w adjustment onto them, but how do later select and export only the b/w versions?

B/w is just one of the most obvious adjustments one can think of. You might want to create an album with adjustments that optimize your images for the web and another with images optimized for printing. With this method you still keep all the versions together in stacks but yet have albums where when the stacks are collapsed you only see that album's version.

Only for one stacck at a time

Command \ does work, but only for one stack at a time.

So that's 600 clicks and 600 command \ keypresses if you have 600 images to deal with. And people do, often.

And, as the other responder points out, keeping albums around is very very useful. They are very cheap in terms of disk space (a few k), and you can always go back to previous work and create variations or additions.
