Came across a good free plugin for Aperture this afternoon whilst working out watermarks for posting images here. It’s called BorderFX and it allows you to create watermarks outside of the actual image, in the border. I’ve been searching for something like this for a while, as it’s never too nice to overlay a watermark on an image.

You can do more than just watermark or overlay text, such as create borders and framing, crop and resize and also overlay other meta data. As an example of the border and text overlay, here’s another photo from our trip to the US.

I’ve been looking around for an Aperture keyboard for a little while. I know most of the basic short cuts, but felt I wasn’t fully utilising Aperture in the most effective way.

Last week Adrian and I popped into the Apple store in Bluewater and I had a rather brief demo of some of the other short cuts that are available in Aperture. To cut a long story short, I’ve just purchased a key set from Logickeyboard, which I can butcher my current keyboard with and I’m thinking of attending the Aperture Workshop on Tuesday 24th at Apple Bluewater.
