Hi. With the release of Aperture 1.5, Apple has made multiple export plugins for Aperture like Flickr, etc. Does anyone know of a SmugMug plugin for Aperture? If Apple hasn't made one (which i'm 99% sure they didn't) is anyone up to the challenge of making one??:o


Thanks, Kevin.

No need, really. In Aperture I have a preset so that when I"m ready, it configures the finalized RAW image the way I want and puts it into a srgb 800x800 .jpg and sends this to a folder on my desktop called "Upload to Smugmug." When I'm ready, I go into Smugmug and use their universal uploader to transfer my images from desktop to galleries. Voila!

I think our best bet is for Fraser (http://www.connectedflow.com/) and SmugMug to get together on this one.

isn't smugmug making a lot of hacks anyhow? take a look at their "hacks" section and see if anything might work / ask the people at smugmug?

There has been a question posted in the Digital Grin forums regarding SmugMug/Aperture integration, but doesn't look like anybody is working on anything. I started trying out the SmugMug API last night, which looks pretty straightforward. But Apple has not released the Aperture Export API to developers yet so I can't start looking at it.

Also, I did ask Fraser (FlickrExport developer) if he had any plans of working on a SmugMug export for Aperture. He said he currently has enough work to do on existing projects.

I'm looking for comments/suggestions/complaints/ranting with a export plugin for Aperture to SmugMug I'm working on. If you would like to help, please download (http://davidholmes.org/aperture-to-smugmug/), unzip and place in the following directory. If you have no other export plugins, you will need to create the directory.

/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Export/

Thank you!
