Apple Aperture and Nik software

Apple Aperture and Nik software

2009-02-05 by chocolabdad

As a newby to the group am wondering how many use Apple Aperture 2.0 and Nik software 
such as Silver Efex Pro to produce BW.

Everyone I know experimented with both Aperture and Lightroom as the  
two became available. At this point in time my catalog, and that of  
all the photographers I work with, are in Lightroom. I haven't done a  
broad survey, but of the dozens of people I deal with, in several  
countries, Lightroom has, for now, won the battle. Lightroom for  
printing is a bit limited, however. I was hoping 2.0 would solve the  
printing issues, and while it has many excellent improvements, it  
still lacks some important printing functions, especially for color.  
But it is possible to print good B&W out of Lightroom, not in the  
sense of special quadtone B&W inks, etc, but in terms of using the  
native inks in a good multi-gray printer, with custom profiles, and  
getting neutral or tinted black and white prints.

David, thanks. Am really wondering if there are any Aperture/Nik/Epson OEM ink users in 
this group. I do not like the results I am getting using Epson inks in my 2200. Am looking 
for more information before taking the plunge into converting this 2200 into a black ink  
only printer.

The 2200 produces all light grays entirely from saturated color inks;  
not a recipe for low metamerism, gallery quality B&W. I think you'll  
have to move up at least to a 2400, or else roll up your sleeves and  
start playing the dedicated grayscale ink game.

By the way (in reference to your username) I have been surrogate dad  
to labs of multiple colors over the years, though I'm currently  
dealing with a standard poodle, who thinks he's a very tall labrador  
with a perm. The only connection to this list
is that he's black (blue, technically, but this just black with a  
lower D-max), and an inkblob in most photo prints.

Then you may be on the wrong list, as fussing with grayscale inks  
seems to be the hobby of many of the people on this list; to the point  
where I sometimes wonder if its the prints, or the fussing, thats the  
main thing for some of them.

Too smart, much of the time. But not smart enough to refuse our two  
mile walk this morning at below zero (F) temperatures. I wish my  
cameras worked as well in the cold as my poodle does... I seldom even  
take a camera with us on morning walks when its this cold. Then, of  
course, I miss some fantastic frost shot, or a fencerow in the snow...  
or something else that would challenge the highlight detail of my  
printers (see, I did get printers in there, eventually. <G>)

And many of us have bought one or your fussy little devices to do so, 
so don't knock it too much.

If, rather than buying a salesman's word (Tobie's), you actually visit
top tier museums galleries (as opposed to hobbiest koffee klatches)
you'll find that Epson OEM Ultrachrome B&W prints are more common than
dedicated B&W inkset prints. Real galleries often specify type of ink,
so you can confirm that if you care.

It's true that 2400 is easier to work with than 2200, and I've
recently moved to 3800 so I can use glossy paper, but 2200 is
magnificent for B&W on matte paper.

I'm not knocking it, I'm describing it. "Under the hood" is very much  
what this list is about. People who like to get under the hood, tend  
to have a very large tool cabinet, which may indeed have one or two or  
our fussy little tools in it. The movie "The World's Fastest Indian"  
made me think of the people on this list more than once; like when he  
was describing the mix of different automobile pistons he found to  
produce the best blend for casting his own motorcycle piston heads.

That does not in any way conflict with what I was saying; quite the  
opposite. Moving up to a 2400 or beyond would allow for a pretty  
reasonable B&W print, from a printer that would also print color.  
Attempting to get gallery quality B&W out of a 2200 would really  
require a dedicated inkset. I think you would find most of the  
regulars on this list to think of my bias as being in the other  
direction; towards using the OEM multiple gray inksets (which can be  
directly profiled with the products I develop) over specialty gray  
inks and specialty drivers (which can utilize our tools as well, but  
not as directly). The fact is I find it all intriguing, but have more  
excuse to deal with the stuff for which I develop products.

And if you combine those 2 thoughts with my desire to hold down costs, 
you can see rather clearly where I'm going.  OEM (like HP neutral gray) 
pigs on our old Epson printers for cheap.

(I did once have custom pistons made -- for a Panhard aluminum, air 
cooled flat twin. The more things change ...)

a wonderfully enjoyable movie.  Much more fun than arguing about

Epson OEM inks.  Or serving coffee.

An interesting topic. Trying to delve into the psychological profiles
of hardcase dedicated inkseters who want it all- and now. Wanting
more,better,cheaper and sooner seem to be common traits ;) 
More interesting yet is that those turned out to be achievable aims.

Well, you are not far off the mark there David. As an expat Kiwi I grew 
up not too far away from Bert Monroe and while I never met him was 
aware of his adventures.

Incidently, and funnily enough, in my youth I purchased a very tired 
old Aston DB4 off Roger Donaldson who directed "The World's Fastest 
Indian". I think that thing must have had a set of Bert's old pistons 
in it.

And Roger is also a very fine photographer BTW. A year or so ago I was 
back in Auckland, and visited a gallery in the west of the city where 
Roger was holding a retrospective, all BW from the 60's, 70's and 80's. 
And to bring this back OT, I do not know how the images were printed 
and do not really care but the images and the print quality were both 
superb.

Re: Apple Aperture and Nik software

My advice is to dump the 2200 printer. Sorry to say so but it has faulted b&w print 
technology. I still have mine and bought it for b&w but was never happy with the prints. It 
features bronzing and bad metermerism I'm afraid.  I even bought ImagePrint which 
improved the b&w prinrs no end. I would not go for a an expensive black ink change on 
such old technology, but instead say buy the 3800 which will produce beautiful b&w.

Yes, I've seen exhibits of photos from other filmmakers, and they do  
tend, not too suprisingly, to have an eye...

There is a nice little hotel (the Capital) less than a block down  
Basil St. from Harrod's in London that has a display of B&W photos in  
their bar by someone originally from that area who went on to some  
fame in Hollywood. He definately developed the eye first, and applied  
it to motion pictures afterwards.
