Contextual slideshows

September 5, 2008 in Uncategorized by Ian | Comments

Contextual slideshows are all the rage.

Sort your images into groups or collections then right click on them to create a slideshow.

This will create a new slideshow of all the images in that particular group or collection.

      Hi Stef


      Thanks again - I'm a fan of getsatisfaction.com but for us right now it's a matter of priority.



      And we have plenty of work to do ;-)



      Cheers

      Could I suggest http://getsatisfaction.com ?


      It's a good way for us to be able to send you bite sized feedback and see what other people are having trouble with.

      Hi Stef


      Thanks for the feedback!



      Firstly - you're more than welcome to email us and we'll point you in the right direction.



      Your suggestions are fair enough and worth while. We'd love to hear your other suggestions, best way to do that is through our feedback tool. (help menu - report a bug / feedback)



      Documentation - ditto, I think you're spot on and our tutorials are in need of updating.



      Warm Regards

      You should only allow these kinds of contextual menus if you are going to offer them consistently throughout your application.


      We just lost about two or three evenings and a possible couple of days of work (now having to go back and do it all again) because we couldn't find an "ungroup" command anywhere in the app (we're not inexperienced users - I've been working with Adobe poroducts for about fifteen years).



      Obviously I would expect it to have been "right click -> ungroup", or "Aperture -> Ungroup", but in the end it was a meaningless icon in the "Tools -> Layout -> Align Apertures -> Strange box that doesn't mean anything."



      Really quite frustrating, and there's no documentation on what to do when the Image panel says "Images in grouped apertures cannot be modified, ungroup the apertures first."



      Just one line of text that says something like "You can ungroup them by..." would have saved a lot of stress and stopped us almost throwing the application out and going with something else.



      At the moment you've got a potential monopoly on the digital workflow of wedding photographers working with Apple Aperture since it doesn't support templates for printing with anyone but Apple.



      Please please please - a wiki or something for us to put this kind of info would be invaluable, but proper documentation would be better.



      Thanks - I've got loads of feedback like this if you'd like to hear it and make the app better.



      Best,



      Stef
