The shot part worked out nicely. However, the first thing to get used to is the new import. No more direct indication of where a photo will be imported to, rather you have to select a project from the panel at the right side. Picking just a few photos to import is possible, now through marking checkboxes instead of selections.
Hint: if you make a selection, and check a picture, all pictures in the selection will be marked.
Images imported, I tried some standard processing. While there are some new things, I found that one of the features I often used in AP2 is now more difficult to access : auto-levels. Otherwise things seem to work better, even with RAW shots and some more fiddling Aperture 3 seems to stay responsive (which wasn't always the case with v2).
After a small selection (no surprises here), I decided to test drive the built-in Flickr Export feature. Maybe Apple thought of making it rather simple - this Flickr Album feature may be interesting for simple use - , but somehow it just falls very short of any expectation people that have been using the Flickr Export (even the free lite version to that end) may have.
I am not the only one that seems to think this, there are people looking for a replacement plugin already.
Aside from the Keywords and Album woes described, I certainly found something else that is disturbing:
Can you spot it? (Hint: What is wrong with this Photo Size pull-down?)
While Actual Size Images makes sense, could somebody tell me what Optimized Images and Web Images means? The help/manual certainly cannot. They are also no Presets (what I would expect, or am I the only one that thinks that makes more sense?!). I am still digging to figure out this one.
Thus, I finally decided to export using a corresponding Preset and uploading the pictures manually through the web page.
Here they are:
