Thethered Mac & Aperture

[KevinWeatherly]

Has anyone any experience of using Aperture to print directly from a thethered camera? I want to use my Canon camera to shoot formals at events thethered to a Mac Book Pro using a Hot Folder and Aperture, then crop the picture on the fly and print to a dye sub printer - is this possible and does anyone know how much time it will take? Do I have to export each image as a jpeg or will Aperture figure it all out for me?

Yes it will work. Aperture can print directly without exporting them and reopening. There is a print dialog box that allows you to make your settings that is similar but not the same as photoshop and other apps. Just do a test run before you need it.

Thanks Peter, and now that Aperture2 has come along it's all become much easier!

Apple has released an updated list of camera that are supported for tethering with Aperture 2.0.

That is because Canon doesn't use the standard PTP protocol in this camera.
