32 ways to speed up Aperture

Aperture, Apple's professional photo workflow application, is one of my favourite applications. Period. However, with its RAW processing and non-destructive editing, it's something of a resource-intensive application -- even on high powered systems.

Thankfully, Aperture supremo Steve Weller (a.k.a. Bagelturf) has published 32 mighty-handy tips on how you can speed up the application. Some are perhaps more obvious -- for example finding a better graphics card for Aperture's GPU-based editing -- but there's also a selection of great little tweaks you can make to Aperture to get it running a little snappier. See Steve's site for the full rundown.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
