More fun apps for iPhone cameras
Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 13/01/2010
» Although I carry an SLR camera about with me, I find that increasingly I use the iPhone 3G to take pictures, partly because there are now so many apps, allowing special effects to be used easily.
A question of backing up data

» I usually write the eXtensions column on a Sunday. Before starting this week's offering, I restarted my MacBook Pro. Again. The replacement computer is on order, but as I want a larger hard disk than standard, there is a waiting period. Ordering directly from Apple's online shop takes a week, but I prefer to support local businesses, who have invested into building the market here over the last few years. I am prepared for the delay.
How to make your own e-books
Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 24/02/2010
» Some never listen properly to Apple's announcements. Several criticisms of Apple's new online book store that commented on probable copy protection failed to mention that current book readers do this, or that Apple is embracing the ePub format: an Open Source file type for publishing.
Light at the end of the aperture

» A few days after I wrote about the depressing process for upgrading to Aperture 3, Apple released update 3.0.1 that fixed most problems. Many people had reported difficulties and these centred on library conversion, especially if images used in Aperture 2 had had multiple adjustments. New installations (for example in my Admin account, which I do not use on a daily basis) were generally problem-free.
Using iPhoto in iLife 11
Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 17/11/2010
» As soon as I had installed iLife '11, I downloaded the 9.0.1 update and ran that before opening iPhoto. During the week, another update to iPhoto was released, bringing it to version 9.1 and returning Calendars to the "Create" selections. No-one is saying why this was missing in the initial release of iLife. I am writing this based on the latest update (9.1) (www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto).
Unleash your creative capabilities with iLife

» This is my third look at iLife '11, which includes GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and iWeb. Although iTunes is a part of iLife and it integrates with the other parts, it is installed and updated separately, because of its functions as a conduit for online services and synchronising of iOS devices, like the iPhone.
What I have learned: Even MS can impress

» If teachers never learn anything new, they do a disservice to their students. Likewise, writers should always search for new ideas; inflexibility will not stimulate readers. My recent look at Microsoft Office 2011 has been a nice surprise - I find myself not only liking it, but happy to recommend it to Mac users. For those wondering about changing from other platforms to Apple's OS X, this would make the move relatively painless. The difference in style sometimes confuses those new to Macs (http://www.microsoft.com/mac).
Maximising iPhoto
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 04/06/2014
» Apple’s iPhoto, available on all new Macs, allows organisation of photographs and basic editing. There are also a number of export methods. When first started, three import options are offered: connect a camera or memory card; drag photos into iPhoto; or import using the File menu item. We can also import by dropping images onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Users are also asked to authorise assigning locations to photographs using GPS information.
Transferring photos to Macs, iOS devices from iPhone and DSLR cameras

» At a recent camp for students I ran at Mahidol University's Faculty of Engineering, a whole day was set aside for photography. After being taught some theory, the students walked round the Salaya campus taking pictures. After lunch, they were to import the images to MacBook Air computers and create slide shows using iPhoto.
Apple notes, queries and conversions
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 10/12/2014
» As Apple has grown in the last few years there have been changes: good and bad. Locally, for example, the number of stores has increased in Bangkok and several cities in the provinces have retail outlets selling Apple products.
