[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have Aperture but I'm just now trying it out for slideshows and album designs. With Lightroom, I use the B&W Conversion and then use the "B&W Mix" and "Split Toning" to achieve my warm tone B&W images. Saving the adjustments as a Preset. I'm going to assume Aperture is similar but hopefully I'll find out this weekend. By the way if you are a Mac user on Snow Leopard, download the App Store and Aperture is $79 instead of the normal $199!
