Aperture Presets

[buttongerald]

Good Day Folks,

Recently while into my parents place, my father uncovered a box that was stored away long ago. Within this box were my old copies of Final Cut Studio, Aperture, Adobe CS5, and a bunch of other goodies, including a copy of OS X Panther.

Anyway, I installed Mavericks again and took a trip down memory lane, installing all of this software over the course of SEVERAL hours, including updates and hiccups.

I loaded some photographs into Aperture and I was happy to be editing within this software again, but I am wondering do any external presets exist? I never looked for them years ago and with the application now been put out to pasture, I am curious if anyone still uses the application and has or knows where to get presets.

I could move over to Lightroom, but I don't want to. I can easily go into Camera RAW as I do love it, but I always have a warm spot for Aperture and I love how well it runs and how easily I can organize my photographs.

If anyone can spare the time to pass along some information that'd be fantastic.

Thanks.

I've always had a soft spot for Aperture but it's time to move on. I still dream of what it could have been.

Gavin Seim sold a few sets of presets for Aperture which I purchased back when I was using it. They were pretty good. I think he might still have them for sale.

I used to purchase Aperture presets from https://photoapps.expert

That site once was known as Aperture Expert and specialized in that sort of thing. I'm not sure what still exists, but it's worth a look.
