Using Presets


 To Apply a FocalPoint preset to an image in Apple Aperture follow these instructions:
  1. Open Apple Aperture
  2. Select an image
  3. Go the Images menu and select Edit With
  4. Select FocalPoint 2...
  5. The FocalPoint 2 for Aperture dialog will appear, select a preset from the list and press Apply.

For Details on using the FocalPoint for Aperture dialog look below. 

  

This is the FocalPoint for Aperture dialog. It consists of these controls:
  • Search: Type in the name of a preset. The results will appear in the Search Results category. 
  • Category List: Lists your preset categories. Click on the triangle to open each category, just like the Preset pane in FocalPoint.
  • Description: Displays a saved preview of the preset as well as the description for the selected preset.
  • Cancel: Cancels FocalPoint 2
  • Open...: Rather than applying a preset directly, this option will open your image in FocalPoint so you can manually control its options.
  • Apply Preset: Applies the selected preset to your image(s)

   Note: Aperture will always create a copy of your image for editing. You can control the file type and options that it creates in the Aperture preferences.
