Editing / removing dental braces - Aperture 3.3?

Quick question as I've never had cause to do this before and I need a lot of pictures editing for tonight. Has anyone got any links or a suggested approach for editing dental braces in Aperture 3.3? I'm figuring a combination of 'Clone' and maybe 'Dodge'. Looking for the easiest way to do it that delivers good results.I also use the Nik Software plug-ins so will have a look at those too.
Scoured the net for this with all manner of search combinations but can only come up with Photoshop solutions, aspects of which are do-able in Aperture 3 but I was just after something Aperture 3 specific.

This is going to be extremely difficult in Aperture. It's not a pixel editor like Photoshop is.
Your best bet is Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, or equivalent pixel editor like Acorn or Pixelmator which do similar things but are a lot less expensive.

     Hi Frank.
     I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
     However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
     Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

How do I remove images from aperture?

Totally new to apple and aperture so I apologise if this seems like a somewhat noob question but how do I remove images from aperture (using the latest version, 3.4.1)? Coming from a PC and using lightroom I'm used to being able to remove images in two ways:
- removing the image from the "library", so that it no longer shows up in the program at all but is still on your hard drive (when I say removing it from the program entirely, I mean entirely, i.e. not sitting in a trash can or some other place where it's still taking up memory)
- deleting the original image off the hard drive
Is it possible to do either of these things in aperture, on both just a single image or a selection of multiple images, and if so how? I've tried googling this already and am getting a bunch of mixed solutions, none of which have really worked so far, so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

The answer partially depends on whether you have a managed or referenced library. Since you're totally new to Aperture, I'm assuming you have a managed library since that's the default.
FYI: Managed means Aperture handles image files and places them inside the library file. Referenced means you manage the image files and Aperture only points to (references) them.
For a managed library, select an image you want to delete. Type command-delete. (That's the reverse delete key next to the "=" key). (You can also right-click an image and choose Delete Version) That will remove the images from their Project and place in the Aperture Trash. They're still taking up space in the Trash. If you really want them gone for good, right-click the Trash in the library pane and select Empty Trash. Poof.
For a reference library, I forgot the exact details since I don't use this type of library, but you'll be asked (or can check a box) to delete the original file from the disk.

How to edit / remove watermarks after the document is digitally signed

how to edit / remove watermarks after a document is digitally signed ?

Hello Dave,
Thank you for your reply.
I have 2 things to mention.
(1)It is possible to do so if I open the document in Acrobat 8.
(2) Is there any work around solution for X-pro ?
I create a draft document and send it for approval with “draft” watermark.
I receive it back after approval with the approver’s signature.
Then I have to remove the “draft” watermark.
How can I do it?
Any suggestion will be appreciated
Thank you.

Editing with Photoshop from Aperture - getting it back into Aperture

I have Aperture 3, and Photoshop Elements 9 & 10, but for some time now, when I send a photo from Aperture to Photoshop I have problems. The photo opens in Photoshop fine (set as default in Preferences), but when I save the file in Photoshop, it simply opens a 'save as' dialogue, and expects me to save the file on my hard drive somewhere. Even doing this doesn't 'send the edited photo' back to Aperture as it should.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious! Can anyone help?
Thanks...

I got the same "save as" window the OP did when I pressed Cmd-S (save). I even cancelled out the first time, thinking I'd accidentally pressed Cmd-Shift-S (save as), and went up to the menu to select Save to be sure. The dialogue box still came up.
You can see the file (a PSD in my case) along with with the masters listed in the folder that the dialogue box defaults to, so it's not an issue with the file not being saved upon creation by Aperture. The file does already exist. Trying to save it prompts a "save as" style dialogue box though, as if it wants you to save it as another version. It's weird.
I'm pretty new to Aperture, so I don't know for sure that this pop-up save window behaviour is new, but it sounds like it is (the manual doesn't mention it). Until someone states they are experiencing this with Snow Leopard, my guess is that it's a Lion/versions thing.

Image editing selection tools in Aperture 2?

Are there any image editing selection tools in Aperture 2 (Magic Wand, selection box etc.)? If not, you can't make any corrections without effecting the whole picture. I guess that would just send you back to Photoshop or Elements for image editing, and then you might as well stay in the Adobe world.

This isn't what Aperture is designed for. The features you are asking about are not really photographic in nature - they are image manipulations that go beyond what Aperture is designed to do.
Think of Aperture more as a catalog that allows photographers to make the vast majority of adjustments they need to make to single images (contrast, exposure, white balance, dust spots, minor clone/patching, etc.). It also provides strong keywording and search capabilities.
Folks who need to do advanced image manipulations/compositing etc. will have to do it in PhotoShop, but they will lose the "library" functions found in Aperture. Lightroom is the same way - you have to export your pic's to PhotoShop to do serious editing/layers, etc.

Edit iPhoto book in Aperture

I have an iPhoto book I made prior to acquiring Aperture2. I would like to edit this book's photos in Aperture (i.e., using advanced editing features available in Aperture) and have the changes reflected in the book created with iPhoto. Is there a way to do that without having to re-create the entire book?
Thanks in advance.

No.

Editing in Photoshop loses edits previously made in Aperture

Repeatedly after I have cropped and edited a photo in Aperture then selected Edit in Photoshop, once the image opens in photoshop, the edits are gone except for the crop. What is the issue?

Make sure you run Lightroom 2.1. Many bugs regarding this were fixed in that update. Photoshop CS3 needs to have ACR 4.6. Likely it will work fine if you make sure you install those two.
Most of the times when people think this does not work it is because they are in the wrong view (for example a filtered view) to see the edited file show up, or the sorting behavior of the view is wrong making the file show up all the way at the bottom instead of right next to your edit. The best way to see what happens is to be in Folder View or in All Photographs with all filters turned off and with sorting turned to capture time.

Edited photos missing after aperture trial expired

I downloaded the 30 day aperture trial a month ago, and used it to edit a few of my photos.
Today I opened Aperture and realized my trial had expired, so when it asked me if I wanted to relocate my "masters", I did and moved them a folder on my desktop. The thing is, when I looked in this folder all it had was the original photos, not the edited ones...
I went to my Aperture Trial library and clicked "show package contents" and looked through the folders there but all I could find was a sort of medium sized version of each edited photo (in a folder called "previews"), but not the original size. I think it has something to do with the fact that when editing I took advantage of the sort of drawing on different adjustments to specific parts of the photo (like masks, I think) so maybe it didn't save the entire photo as one thing or something (I'm not very familiar with how Aperture works).
I'm just wondering if there is any way I can get these edited photos back somehow?
Thanks

One way you might be able to get back your edits is to buy Aperture. It may be that they're still in the Library that you edited with the trial version, and once you enter the serial number, the software will let you work with that library again. Alternatively, if you have a backup of your Aperture Trial Library from before you exported your masters, that will likely work if you get a licensed version of Aperture.
If you've decided Aperture isn't for you, then you probably need to move your masters into whatever you'll be using, and re-edit them, in that.

Accidental PS edit save to the Aperture Library / How to remove

In my haste I accidentally saved a ps edit to the aperture library instead of the desktop. Normally I wouldn't be concerned about it but it's meant to print to mural size and it's huge. I can see it in the save directory via PS but am otherwise unable to get to it via the finder.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

All this is a big help but...
I think he might be asking how to navigate the Aperture library via finder because he can't see the file in Aperture. Maybe not. In any case you can right click on the Aperture library and use show package contents to navigate within the library.
If you do be berry berry careful when hunting wabbits.

Ps. Was that tactful enough or is someone gonna call me names?

Workflow - Aperture to Photoshop, edited image back to Aperture?

Hi experts...
I'm sure I am doing something wrong here, I just don't know what it is...hoping you can give me some advice.
Let's say I have a RAW file in Aperture (a referenced file, if it makes a difference) called "A". I want to tweak this photo and then post to Flickr. For various reasons, I choose to edit this particular image in Photoshop. So when I tell Aperture to edit "A" in an external editor, it creates a version (I think?) called A.TIF and then takes me into Photoshop.
After my edits in Photoshop, I want to save the image as a JPEG for exporting to Flickr. I save it as "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG". Before I exit, Photoshop asks me if I want to save the changes I made to the TIF. "Naaaah," I think...I've got the JPEG.
Now, here's where it goes sideways. I would hope/expect that when I return to Aperture, "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG" is 'linked' to the original version, or at least appears in the catalog. It doesn't. I have to import "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG" into Apeture.
This seems really messy - is there some way to have the edited image show up in A3 and have it linked (version, whatever) to the original? If not, is there a way to at least have the edited image automatically show up in the Aperture catalog?

Aperture expects the same file format back. In PS, just close the file (save when asked) and it will show up in Aperture with the PS changes (and in the format in which it was sent to PS). You can then use Aperture to export (in any way you want).
Alternatively you can just export from Aperture and then save/save-as from PS. In this case your edited photo is not in your Aperture Library. This method is generally considered less desirable.
Here is the relevant section from the Help file:
*To use an external editor in Aperture*
Select an item in the Browser.
Choose Photos > Edit with > {application name} (or press Command-Shift-O).
Aperture creates a new master (leaving the original unchanged), converts it to the chosen file format, and then opens the file in the external editor. The file is tracked as a new master stacked with the original master.
When you’ve finished modifying the image, audio, or video file in the external application, save the file.
The saved file is automatically updated in Aperture.

Can I edit my photos in Aperture on an iPad?

Hi
I've always used iPhoto or now, Aperture to edit and file my photos. I travel with a Mac Air laptop so I can download and edit my photos everyday from the camera and I then transfer them to my Mac Pro when I get home. I've resisted buying an iPad because I believe I wouldn't be able to do the same (ie edit my photos while on holiday). Am I correct?

There isn't an Aperture or iPhoto app for the iPad (it comes with a basic Photos apps which is effectively just a viewer), and the photo editing apps that do exist are fairly basic : cropping, brightness, rotation, straightening etc e.g. the free Photoshop Express app from Adobe (which also has an in-app purchase option). You can use the iPad for reviewing photos but if you tend to do extensive editing then it's probably not suitable.

Edit/remove cards from lock screen - Lollipop update

Hi,
is it possible to edit or remove cards from the lock screen ? ? If so, where do i do it? ?
Tank you.

no that was not it - I eventually found out by a thorough review of the user guide Settings - Sound & notification, When device is locked Don't show notifications at all. However, I came across a new problem: When the setting above is activated the icon(s) from incoming notifications is hidden by the mobile service provider icon in the status bar when screen lock is on. When the screen is unlocked the icon from the incoming notification is showing. It is not possible to manage the mobile service provider icon like fx. alarm, wi-fi, clock etc.. I have tried 'To manage status bar icons' from the user guide Do you know if it is at all possible to remove the mobile service provider icon from the lock screen ?

Heavy Retouch Editing Really Slows Down Aperture!

I've been editing a few images in Aperture 3.0.1 that have require a significant amount of Retouch editing. Once I've reached about 70-80 Retouch edit brush strokes, Aperture starts to bog down. If I go over 100 Retouch brush strokes, Aperture REALLY starts to slow down, particularly if I try to export a file to be edited in Photoshop or NIK plugins. In fact, exporting is DRAMATICALLY slowed down, even if just exporting a 800x800 JPG. If I hit 150+ Retouch brush strokes, the Export Version function in Aperture becomes all but unusable. It can take 20-30 minutes to actually export the version! And that's just for a single image.
Once Aperture has caught up with itself, I can go and export a lightly edited image and it will happen in mere seconds. Go back to that heavily Retouched image, and export takes forever!
I sure hope the next release of Aperture resolves this issue! As best I can tell, it is directly related to RETOUCH (both Repair and Clone) and not so much the other Adjustments.
BTW, I have already shared my experience with the Aperture Team via Aperture Feedback.
Mark

I've seen this slowdown as well.
I think that, to some extent, that this is an issue that will exist with the type of application that Aperture is. It is dynamically applying your edits and rendering a final image to your eye, and if you have 150 retouches Aperture has to do a LOT of work. I mean, really, the math and calculations required are extreme. Maybe there's a magic bullet for this in how Aperture renders the output, but I don't know from the non-destructive nature whether this is possible. It could just be that I can't think of an easy way.
