Exporting an Image from Aperture

Video Transcript

"BRANDON SARKIS: My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be showing you how to use Apple's Aperture program for the Mac. Next thing I want to show you is--okay, we've got our finished image here, let's export it, let's save this as a different format. So I'll hit file--oops, export. And the export version because I don't want to move the master. This is going to export a copy of what I actually see on the screen right now. So it's going to bring up where I want to export it to. I'm just going to drop this on my desktop. So, there's my desktop right there and I get out here, I can export it as a JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PSD, or an email size, which are really small, low resolutions. I'll export it as a JPEG of original size. I'm just going to export a single picture but you can go and put it into a sub-folder. You can change the naming format and it's going to give me a filename example. You can create a new folder on the desktop and hit export versions, and you'll see it takes--for one photo, depending on how much you've done to it and what size photo is, it's usually well under a minute. And we can hit F11 here and go to our desktop, and see that--here's our photo. Once--it's going to open up in preview. There it is, it's a new version. And the whole time, we basically left the original untouched, the master, so I could conceivably close this. I could go back to this photo--and so you know what, I don't like any of these changes, so I can undo my exposure changes, I can undo my highlights and shadows, I can undo my color corrections, and I'm left with--you know what, almost kinda looks like a pretty boring picture compared to the one I just had, so there, you've got that."
