|
||||
At the end of last year I watched out for a new scanner and the CanoScan LiDE 500f from Canon was the choice. But finding a suitable driver wasn't that simple cause everywhere around was only the horribly old PowerPC-driver. As long as I had my old G4 in the house it wasn't that problem. But at this time all Macs were already Intel-powered and also my new MacBook which replaced the G4 was Intel-Powered and i had a problem.

|
||||
|
||||
So there were two choices for using the scanner on an Intel-Mac: installing the PowerPC-driver and using [VueScan](http://www.hamrick.com/) for scanning. But, man, was that slow! And i couldn't get the 16bit per channel scanning to function, which is an essential function for me. Also they want to have 40$ for this app, which isn't that much but after spending money for the scanner and for Photoshop I didn't want to buy another component for using the scanner. On the other hand you could use the [Preview.app](http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/pdf/) built into MAC OS X with Image > Import Image. But this last solution only offers rudimentary functions for scanning. Good to scan a document but not for scanning photos in high quality and for archive purposes. And nevertheless none of these solutions worked for scanning directly in the new Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Wouldn't that be great? Hook up your scanner, fire up Aperture, click on Import and the images coming directly from your scanner plate? Although my scanner is shown as a source in the import dialogue you can't import images with it directly from Aperture. But using Preview/Image Capture and Automator you can bypass this limitation.

Although my scanner is shown as a source in the import dialogue you can't import images with it directly from Aperture. But using Preview/Image Capture and Automator you can bypass this limitation. So here's what you can do to scan directly into Aperture in 3 simple steps.
|
||||
|
||||
In the Image Capture scan window you can define an automatic task which will follow the scan process. It defaults to Preview meaning that the scanned image will open as a new Preview document after the scan. But we can make the images import to Aperture after the scan just with tools which are build into Mac OS X and come with every Mac (besides Aperture).

There are already some lists like this available on the web and they are always very subjective so I thought I should add my subjective list too. While Aperture was released I was coding this website and had not much time for writing about it. So although a bit late here is my absolutely biased list of my favorite 15 new features included in Apple's Aperture since version 2.0. It's in a nice countdown order ending with the best new feature (to me) at the bottom. Just click on the little screenshots to smoothly zoom to the full version of them.

It all started with a move of my whole website to new and shiny servers with PHP 5 running by my host. I didn't heard of any incompatibilities between the latest Wordpress version running on PHP 5 and in fact Wordpress loves to use PHP 5. But somehow I wasn't able to update my site neither over http or ftp. Since I can contact my host admins directly ([thank you jpBerlin/Heinlein-Support!](http://www.jpberlin.de/)) this problem was addressed rather quickly. They just neglected to tell me that the server address for login also changed (I should have think of this too). So all my changes were applied to my Wordpress installation on the old server. Problem solved I thought.

But more problems appeared. The display of the newest and latest posts and the next post/previous post links at the end of every article didn't work as they should. But not enough I wasn't able to moderate any comments. Sigh. Looked like any sort of database problem and I started a lot of things. First I manually scanned all database entries for any wrong things but I couldn't find anything suspicious. After that I dropped the whole database and imported my database dump but this didn't solve the problems. My final step was to re-install everything so that Wordpress creates the tables in the databse. And guess what: It didn't work too!

Now it's clear something with my code must be wrong, I thought. For displaying the latest posts in Wordpress I use a pretty standard way which is [described in the Wordpress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts):

The [PTLens plug-in](http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/) from [ePaperPress](http://epaperpress.com/) was available as a Photoshop plug-in in the past and is well known for its lens pincushion, barrel distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, and perspective correction abilities based on a lens model database similiar to [Kekus' LensFix CI plug-in](http://www.kekus.com/software/plugin.html).

While I love the plug-ins ability to correct perspectives the Aperture plug-in doesn't work with RAW files(!), just with tiff and jpeg files which is one more way to compromise the way Aperture works (In my opinion the whole plug-in architecture of Aperture does that). And while I would love to show you the plug-ins user interface in Aperture PTLens refused to open either JPEG or TIFF files. So here's just a screenshot of the standalone application:

Since Wordpress 2.5 it was nearly impossible for me to log into Wordpress and quickly head over to the write tab. The Dashboard always wants to load a bunch of things in it but this always seemed to fail in my setup and slow things down. And not enough the Dashboard just locks everything up while loading which can take more than one minute.

I've searched for a simple way of disabling those feeds, plugins etc. stuff the Wordpress Dashboard tries to fill but it seems you can't disable these from the backend. But there's a quick way for doing this which involves editing your /wp-admin/index-extra.php and uncomment some lines there. This will leave your Dashboard intact while it stops Wordpress from connecting to various sources to screw your blog up when you just want to quickly write something.

So if you want to report about [the water shortage in the villages around Beijing](http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-06-27-voa10.cfm), the [massive air pollution in Beijing](http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200807/200807300031.html) or about all the forced resettlements going on in China you should consider some security precautions to protect you and your sources.

Google Chrome has a different UI-Design compared to other browsers especially regarding tabs. Google Chrome tabs will be on top of the address bar so every tab has its own address bar. Beside that every tab will run its own process to improve stability.

Using WebKit as its rendering engine, Google Chrome will have all the cool WebKit stuff included like [CSS Gradients](http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/04/webkit-team-introduced-css-based-gradients/), [CSS Masks](http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/04/more-awesomeness-from-the-webkit-team-css-masks/) and the CSS3 property text-shadow, which [I've covered earlier in detail](http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/04/make-cool-and-clever-text-effects-with-css-text-shadow/).

Google Chrome will be optimized for use with web applications and, instead of using [WebKit's new core JavaScript engine Squirrelfish](http://webkit.org/blog/189/announcing-squirrelfish/), Google decided to use a new, multi-core processor optimized JavaScript virtual machine developed by the V8-team in Denmark.

Time for some Mac Futurama crossover geekiness! In a fun watching process I've compiled a list of all the references to Apple's Macintosh and other Apple products. In Futurama we mainly see references to the old, classic Macs running [System 6](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_System_Software_6), [System 7](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7) or [OS 9](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_9) ending with the colorful iMac G3. This is likely caused by the timeframe in which Matt Groening and David X. Cohen developed the first season of Futurama (1997-1999).
|
||||
|
||||
So the following screens from Futurama refer all to Macs available in or before 1999. Also you'll find some nice links to downloadable Futurama stuff for your Mac at the end of this article. And may the lawyers of Twentieth Century Fox now please stop reading.

So if you're a plugin developer you absolutely want to make sure to include retina assets for your plugin, like a double sized admin menu icon.

There's just one problem: WordPress doesn't include anything to make this easy for developers. The functions `register_post_type()` and `add_menu_page()` only allow you to define one image as menu icon which then gets inserted as `img` tag.

The full size I designed the wallpaper in is 3200x2048px. I don't know why Apple uses 3200px as width for the default wallpapers in Mountain Lion but it seems a good width for now. And a height of 2048px makes this big size perfectly usable for the iPad 3 too.

On top of that, using svg or png assets makes localization a pain unless you want to manage multiple assets per language.
