For sending the occasional file round trip to photoshop, do you use the “edit with” from the photo pulldown menu, or are you using catapult for this . Could you please explain the advantages, and or pitfalls of either(why is one better than the other) ? Also do you bring it back to Aperture as a tiff or a psd…reasons?
Thanks

The main advantage of Catapult is it allows you to edit a RAW file in PS CC, DXO, etc, and bring them back in as a TIFF.
Be aware that whether you bring it back in any format, the image may be brighter in Aperture than Photoshop. I did post this situation on this forum a while ago, but no resolution. Probably a color space situation. Really quite frustrating that “professional” image editors read images differently.
Thank You Charles.
Ken does this just happen with Photoshop, or other plug-ins also? I haven’t seen this yet, but it’s not something I do often, I will watch, Thank You

David,
I have only noticed it with Photoshop. Its not a significant difference, but if an image is on the cusp of having highlights being blowout in PS, Aperture will show those same highlights as being blowout. Easy to fix in Aperture for finishing touches. Just review you histogram, as that will indicate the difference.
