3/1/2023 0 Comments Photosheet from nas![]() ![]() Aperture is nice in that you would use the same library structure as iPhoto, and you could relocated masters from within. ![]() Any copy of LR/Aperture/iPhoto could then reference them, and if all editors edit non-destructively, and don't write metadata to the originals, then you'd wind up with original of grandpa and then a few edits of him.Īlso, for this use you'd be better off with Aperture or LR. I would think this is a good occasion to switch to a referenced library/catalog, which resides on the NAS. But there are ways to do that, we'd just have to know your intended uses. I use exported and then imported catalog subsets in LR for this, or sometimes just clone the whole shebang.Īnd unfortunately, Apple ended an easy way to share iPhoto libraries, which at least would allow viewing by others. It's rather a chore even when it's just YOU using say one catalog/library on a laptop and then another on the desktop. Essentially you would have to make sure everyone imported/edited/exported the photo each time they dealt with it. You can work around that, but it's a pain. And it's not even as easy as say everyone accessing the same Word document these photo applications are designed to keep track of the changes within their own databases, not write them to the file/photo, since they're non-destructive. Any particular library/catalog (remember, it has to be local) is not gonna keep up with a change in a photo another user made, and unfortunate things may result. iPhoto/Aperture/Lightroom are essentially individual databases, not multiuser databases. That being said, issues can develop, especially if, as you suggest, the photos are shared. If you referenced the photos, and say they're in Pictures or an external, then you could use the NAS, but you're have to re-referenced them. I don't know how you set up those iPhoto libraries, but if you store your photos themselves within that library then you're stuck. The library or catalog of iPhoto, Aperture and/or Lightroom has pretty much gotta be on a local disk attached to the computer you're running it on.īUT the photos can be in other places, and REFERENCED from those libraries. Instead, I would be satisfied if Aperture had the equivalent of iTunes "Home Sharing" feature, which would allow sharing of the selected albums and smart albums on the home network. I think that would be a disaster in the making. I do hope that Apple will improve sharing in the future. and then export the best work onto your NAS so that it can at least be viewed by any computer. You may want to consider making great collections of your work using iPhoto or Aperture. however, using them for an active database is horrid. if you use a photo application on a NAS, you are likely to be very disappointed, even if you can get it to work. I am not so sure about sharing them with other computers. It is easy to make such smart albums, show them on your Apple TV, etc. all via smart albums (ex: All pictures taken at the beach with at least one family member, but not the dog, rated 4 stars or above) is a VERY powerful construct. The ability to share your best sorted work. if you are even half serious about photography, do you really want every photo shared? One of the amazing things about a good digital asset manager (like aperture) is the ability to create collections of photos that are rated, key worded, etc, etc. but like iPhoto, it is not meant to be shared. All the way to the right is the maximum rounding the corners of the images will be rounded with a radius (the distance from the corner to where the rounding begins) of 1/10th of the minimum dimension of the final print (which means that on a 4圆 print, the maximum rounding radius is 4/10ths of an inch).Personally, I use Aperture. All the way to the left provides no rounding the images will have square corners. The amount of rounding is selected using a slider. On layouts where the image rectangles are already separated, increasing the padding simply increases the separation. All the way to the right is the maximum padding, about 1/40th of the minimum dimension of the final print (this means that on a 4圆 print the maximum padding is 1/10th of an inch and since all of the images are reduced by this amount, you’ll end up with 1/5th of an inch separating the images at the maximum padding). PaddingĪll the way to the left provides no padding the images will be touching. The amount of padding and rounding is selected using sliders. ![]()
