If you are a Photo Stream user, you have probably felt the frustration of not being able to delete a single photo from your Photo Stream without resetting the entire thing. Whether it’s an accidental picture of the floor or an embarrassing shot from last night’s party, it was frustrating to see your 1,000 image Photo Stream clogged with photos you don’t want to see.

Possibly the most exciting software announcement in today’s special event was iPhoto for iOS ($4.99).

This was a GREAT session, where you the users chose what the topics would be so we could finish off Adjustments and get ready for something else!

The topics you picked were Edge Sharpen, Chromatic Aberration and Color Monochrome. I think this session came out really, really well and I’m super excited to share it with you. It also ran long so we’re looking at another solid hour in this one.

I’ve just scheduled Session 016, where I’d like to wrap up adjustments. Thing is, what to talk about? There are many more, but most are minor and I’d rather not spend three more sessions covering these. So this is your chance to dictate what will be discussed!

[form closed] you can tell me what you want to learn and how you’d like to see it — even submit your own photo for me to work with.

It’s online folks!

Session 015, all about Dodge & Burn in Aperture 3, is now available for download.

As usual, just $2, and this session went long… so for that two bucks it’s over an hour of Aperture goodness! It was a great session, and I hope you enjoy it.

The next Live Training has just been scheduled; this one continues with the Adjustments, moving into the Quick Brushes and starting with the basics, Dodge and Burn. Time permitting, we may go into the other brushes there as well.

It’s schedule for Thursday Feb 23 at 2pm PST. You can check the time in your time zone on sign-up.

For those big-event photographers out there who don’t have time to edit their work but can’t justify hiring a full-time assistant, you’re gonna love this.

Today’s Live Training session on retouching is now available for download.

The amazing application Aperture Inspector is now being sold by ApertureExpert — and we’re very excited to add this to the collection!

A user posted a question in the forums about a technique called “double raw processing”. Admittedly I had never heard of it and first said “erm, that’s not possible”, but then on googling it I discovered what the term actually means. (It’s a method of combining two versions of an image that have been processed differently from the RAW file, almost like an HDR technique).

Let’s talk retouching! Using the Retouch, Spot & Patch and Skin Smoothing tools can save you a trip to Photoshop, and used properly will give superb results!

[UPDATED on Feb 5, thanks to Whitney Dunn in the comments below! I had calculated based on the Aperture 3.2 release being the present, which threw everything off by several months. Oops!]
