    “In my job, I need to deliver great looking images, and I need to deliver them on time." That’s why John McDermott depends on Aperture. Out of a thousand or more images, he can quickly make his final selects and send them to his editor the same day he takes them. That’s fast.

How I Use Aperture

A photo journalist for more than 30 years, John McDermott finds that Aperture helps him make selects — a normally tedious process — quickly, easily, and enjoyably. In this video, watch as McDermott flies though a 1000-image edit with Quick Preview, goes Full Screen view to examine images up close, quickly perfects photos with Aperture’s strong imaging tools, and exports his final selects in the background while reviewing other images.
