Export Custom Book Settings?

I created a Custom Book with custom page layouts in Aperture 2. How can I transfer this book layout and page layouts to my other iMac? I don't want to have to create everything all over again.
Kevin

From page 610 of the manual:
You can share your custom themes with other Aperture systems. By default, Aperture saves custom themes in the following location in the Finder:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Aperture2/Book Themes/
To share custom themes with another Aperture system:
Copy the themes you wish to share from the Book Themes folder on the first Aperture system to the same location on the other Aperture system.
The custom themes appear in the Themes dialog when you choose Custom from the
Book Type pop-up menu.

  • Export custom book as new library

    I'm trying to move the book I'm working on from a stationary to a portable for presentation.
    I'm exporting the custom book layout as new library.
    On the portable some of the pages came with a white background where it is black on the original and the background is not editable on the exported version.
    The Background button does not contain the original choices and aren't editable at all.
    Any bright heads with a solution? Perhaps some prefs should be taken from the stationary but can't find them.

    You have the same version of Aperture on both machines? Did you change the size of the book as a medium book will have fewer themes than large. A different theme may offer fewer background choices. I'm not sure if having iLife '11 offers more theme choices like it does for slideshows, but see if you have that on both machines...
    Can't really think of anything else. Maybe others have some ideas.

  • Copy custom equalizer settings to ipod...

    Not a difficult thing to do I would think... have some of the Apple techies update iTunes to export custom equalizer settings to the iPod. Would be a nice touch.

    Sorry, but you cannot transfer custom equalizer settings to your iPod. See

  • Custom book export resolution problem in PDF - only 150DPI!?

    I've been using the custom book option and when it came to exporting my PDF I have run into a problem involving the undocumented output resolution of a PDF at a given size. The custom book dialog allows you to create a book with a certain size in inches, but this really has no real meaning since the resolution of that output cannot also be specified in either the layout option or the print dialog. For example is it 150dpi or 300dpi? From some investigation it appears to be locked at 150DPI.
    Now I would have thought that Aperture was intelligent enough to just treat the album layout (this is my assumption) as some kind of smart object, where the layout is resolution independent and the final output resolution can be determined when printing to a printer or PDF. In that case the dialog for the setup of the custom size is correct. However, there is no option that I can see in the print dialog to actually specify the output resolution; Aperture is left to its own devices to specify an output resolution, which is undocumented.
    I use a printer that accepts JPG or TIF files and I need 300dpi for an album size of 10x13 inches. This equates to 3900x3000 pixels per page. I am able to export to PDF in the print dialog and then used an automator action to export each page of the PDF as JPG and reimported back into Aperture 2 in the same action. In the PDF>JPG conversion option there is the ability to set the DPI to 300. That works fine and the resulting JPG images show as 300dpi (3900x3000px). When looking at the images though they look a little soft, which leads me to believe that my action was simply interpolating a 150dpi image in the PDF into 300dpi.
    So to test this, I noticed that if I exported just one page of the album as a PDF and opened the PDF in Preview it does indeed tell you that it is 13x10 inches (no mention of the pixel resolution though). So, you can actually reimport a single page PDF into Aperture and if you do this it appears that the actual resolution is 1950x1500 and that equates to 150dpi for a 13x10 inch layout.
    So there are two things that could possibly be going on here:
    1. The actual layout of the album is locked at 150DPI and the save to PDF simply takes that and exports a PDF at that resolution.
    2. The layout of the album is resolution independent, the size of the album (in the custom dialog) simply controls the aspect of the page layout, and the print dialog (save to PDF) is exporting as 150DPI as default. When I run my automator action (these are the Leopard PDF actions), the save each page to JPG action is up-res'ing the image to 300dpi.
    This is where I need help. Is 1 or 2 (or something else?) happening. Also, does the PDF save as JPG12? That too is undocumented.
    If number 1 is happening I may have to set my album size to 26x20inches to get a 10x13 inch page at 300dpi.
    If number 2 is happening I need to find a PDF/TIFF/JPEG print driver to enable me to export at 300dpi as the print dialog in not standard (and we don't get the nice 'save as' drop down where we could do other things. So far my search has led me to CUPS-PDF, but that still doesn't allow for resolution to be set: http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx
    Why can't Apple just figure this thing out correctly and allow the resolution to be specified by the user - what an oversight given all of the feedback requests for the custom album tool. We need 300dpi as a minimum as we can always down-res if we want.
    Any ideas? I've got albums to send to clients! Help!
    Thanks

    When you import any PDF into Aperture, I think it rasterizes any PDF you import to a 150dpi flat image on import, even if it was a high res PDF to begin with. But theres the thing, PDFs don't have dpi (as such). Any shapes or text is a vector so don't have a DPI as they'll scale when printed. The images use their DPI when they were imported from the program that created the PDF.
    So I did a quick test and put a page I made from Aperture in to Acrobat and ran a preflight check on all images to check the resolution. It came back at 349.956 ppi, so this example was over 350dpi.
    I've attached the screenshot

  • Exporting/Importing customized rack settings' values - Soundbooth

    Has anyone ever found a way to export your customized Soundbooth rack settings, like in the case where you'd be uninstalling Soundbooth from one machine to install it on another machine? Has anyone come across a way to export and then import your rack settings' values?
    I tried one Adobe Tech Support rep's direction which was, "... copy the same folder [C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth CS5 folder] of the old setting and paste into the same settings. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth CS5 folder". That resulted in a error on launch of Soundbooth, preventing Soundbooth from opening at all following the folder copy-over.
    So has anyone had any better success externally saving your custom rack settings and then importing them to another instance of Soundbooth?
    Thanks so much.

    I forgot to mention the versions that I had.
    Portal 3.0.6.6.5 ( from 9ias 1.0.2.0.1)
    Oracle 817
    on solaris 8.
    Richard,
    Thanks for that information. Do you know if
    there is any quick workaround for the problem
    that I described above which I can use until
    the patch gets released?

  • Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

    Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
    The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
    For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
    I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

    The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
    I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
    I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
    All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
    (iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)

  • How do I maintain the quality of photos exporting in Book Module ?

    I am concerned about exporting my book pages as jpg or pdf because of the compression each format applies. Any experience here? Thanks Sandy

    You should just try it with some different settings for jpeg quality and open up the jpegs or pdfs to see whether they are acceptable quality. If you cannot see problems on your screen, they are not there. Both formats use jpeg compression but the quality setting should be good enough to not give any visible issues. At least that has been my experience. You should have your quality setting for jpeg above 75 or so but higher is typically not necessary. 300ppi is usually enough for printing from the files. sRGB is usually the correct color space to use except when you know your printing service knows what it is doing with regards to color management.

  • Custom Compressor Settings Missing

    Under Share>Export Using Compressor Settings none of my custom settings are there. They appear fine in Compressor itself. Any idea how I can fix this? I've tried exporting, then deleting them and reimporting - nothing. Thanks.

    I don't know the cause but it ids definitely worth trashing the FCP X preferences with

  • Export Custom Attribute Mapping

    Hello Gurus!
    I'm migrating a xMII 11.5 project to MII 12.1 and the migration tool was fine on creating the Custom Attributes and Custom Attribute Mapping. However, what I need now is to export Custom Attribute and Custom Attribute Mapping from MII 12.1 DEV to QAS and PRD.
    My question is: When exporting Custom Attributes from Configurations menu, it will export Custom Attribute Mapping too? How can I export and import Custom Attribute Mapping from DEV to QAS and PRD?
    Thanks

    Manoel,
    have you tried the following:
    - open System Management / Configurations
    - unmark the "Select All" and only mark the "Custom Attributes"
    - click export and save the zip file
    The exported zip file should include all the settings. In your follow up systems QAS and PRD you can import the zip file.

  • Premiere Pro CC - How can I export custom metadata into Excel?

    I'm trying to export custom metadata from Premiere CC into Excel. I can create the custom metadata and I've been using the following workflow to get it to excel:
    File: Export: Batch List
    This exports a .csv file but the only metadata I can produce is a fraction of metadata from the 'Premiere Pro Project Metadata' schema. Has anyone figured this out?
    Many thanks,

    I'm not familiar with Batch List exports, and I don't know of a way to export metadata as a CSV or other file adapted to Excel. The way I know to export metadata is as follows
    Select clip in PPro's Project panel
    File>Export>Media
    in the Export Settings dialog, click the Media button
    in the Metadata Export dialog, set Export Option to Create Sidecar Fiie.
    In the Output File Metadata section, select the properties in your custom schema that you want to include (and deselect any others that you don't want)
    Click Okay to close Metadata Export and proceed to encode.
    If you change the extension from .xmp to .xml, you'll be able to open the file in any text editor--including Excel, but not in a tabular view.

  • Can I "export" my Homesite settings for a new installation?

    I'm doing a complete re-installation of Windows and all my
    utilities on a new drive. I've got Homesite 5.5 freshly installed,
    but I'd like to migrate all of my settings from the previous
    installation to the new one. I thought that simply copying the
    entire directory from the old drive to the new would do it, but I
    was wrong.
    Is there some file elsewhere in my old directory structure
    that I can copy, or some way to export my old settings and import
    them into the new installation?

    Hmm, I thought there was something written on that one, but I
    can't find it right now.
    It depends upon what you have customized and where you have
    put those customizations, but copying over things in the homesite
    userdata folder, perhaps also any additions from extensions,
    parsers or help.
    Some of the setup is in the registry. If you want that,
    you'll have to export and re-import parts of that after you run the
    homesite installation.

  • Problems in exporting a book to pdf

    I seem to have a problem in exporting a book made in the book module in Lightroom 4 to pdf.
    It just never seem to start converting. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue? (it is a 47 paged book)

    I've already done it manually and sent it off, which wasn't hard, but I'd still like to know what my original problem was.
    I have a book, bleeds all around except for the inside. I want to export to a PDF but have the pages laid out completely ready for print on a saddle stitch. I go to Print Booklet>Select "Use Document Bleed Settings. I then go to Print Settings and choose Post Script/PDF for the printer. I also check Use Bleed settings there. Other than I change nothing from the default options other than the type of binding I'm doing. Once the PDF is created using the postscript I notice that my left side is 1/16" shorter than my right.

  • HDV export compression encoder, settings to burn 16:9 DVD-Rs

    What export encoder and settings should I use to simply
    burn SD 16:9 DVD-Rs from my Sony HDV 1080i 55 min. FCP HDV sequences in DVD Studio Pro?

    Take a look at your preferences options.
    You can set encoding rates there.
    I really don't know what you are asking about shortcuts to burning.
    My suggestion is to read through the manual, and do the tutorials, and then get Martin Sitter's Visual QuickStart book, and memorize it.
    Visit here as well.
    No shortcuts in creating DVDs. Part art and part science.

    the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally.  you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!
