Away to Me

A few things in Aperture 2.1 that make me smile:

1.  The new Dodge & Burn plug in that came in the latest update.  It is found under Images -Edit with - Dodge & Burn.   A new window will open with the image and tools.  When you are done editing, click Save and the edited image will be saved as a TIFF stacked with the unedited version.

2.  Adjustment tools are available at the top of the second monitor.  This allows you to keep Aperture in Browser mode on one display and edit your image on the second display without switching out of Browser mode.

3.  The ability to move to the next image while editing the metadata.  Command + arrow key moves you to the next image without having to leave the metadata field to click on the next image.   A HUGE time-saver.
