Aperture 3: another Quick Brushes tip
Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 3:58 PM
Back in February I wrote an article entitled Quick Brushes Are Bricks Too in which I described how you could use Aperture 3’s Quick Brushes as adjustment bricks. You do this by selecting Apply To Entire Photo from the brush’s HUD.
What I never realized until now though: this feature takes into account the Strength slider in the HUD. So if your brush strength is set at 50% it will apply the effect to the entire photo at 50% — as if you had effectively brushed the effect in yourself. Set it to 100% and you get the maximum effect, which of course you can then tweak in the adjustment brick.
Maybe you knew this already. But I sure didn’t and found this out by accident.
One more trick in the book ;)
