Let's get this ball rolling

Someone needs to post something Aperture related to get things rolling. Let me start with this...
Back in June I discovered a blog entry that gave lots of inside into the inner workings of Aperture brushes.

I used John's technique to create a texture preset just to see if it would work.

Yeah, it wasn't a good preset... I was more interested in getting the technique down and documented than I was with the finished results. Anyone else played with this kind of thing in Aperture? -
I've done this a few times. It's how I created the vignettes that I have as presets on the blog. The only problems is if you do complex textures with this technique it can Slow Aperture down. I tried to create grain with it once but it caused it to crash
The other problem is, if you're creating presets, that brush maps don't scale - so if you create one for a 12mp camera and then go to apply it to a 16mp image you're left with borders. -
The coverage of the inner workings of Aperture brushes was very interesting. While I may not use the information myself, it was nice to better understand how the TIFF files are saved. I had no idea!! Thank you.
