How to import ratings/metadata from previous programs (Bridge, Lightroom)

With the new release of Aperture 3, I am considering make the switch from Lightroom. That being said, I have imported a few folders as tests and cannot figure out how to get Aperture to recognize star ratings that I have applied in Bridge (raw and jpg). Keywords and colors are also no shows. I feel like this shouldn't be a hard thing for a 3rd version of a professional program to do, especially if they are looking to attract new users, but am I missing something here? Thanks in advance.

You need to "save" everything from Lightroom to XMP sidecar files, and then Aperture should just import the files with keywords intact.
No adjustments, star ratings, or labels will transfer over. But otherwise it's not too difficult.. just ensure you've saved the data to the XMP sidecar files (command-S) or are storing the info in DNG files if you're using those.

  • How do I synchronise metadata from LR to Bridge

    Hello. I have W7 64 bit, CS5 with ACR6.1 and LR 2.7. My Leica camera captures as DNG natively. I use 'Convert to DNG' to import in order to take advantage of the lossless compression. I understand that the sidecar XMP files are not applicable and that the metadata is written into the DNG header. That is fine by me, it should ensure that the metadata is always with my DNGs but I'm unsure how it affects the validity of any instructions I have found so far.
    Currently I am using both ACR and LR to develop files in order to take advantage of the new features and processing until I can get LR3.
    I want to synchronise develop settings. I have learnt how to updated the metadata for files developed in ACR6.1 when I open them in LR2.7 but I cannot work out how to make the LR develop settings visible when I open the files in Bridge.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been unable to find the information in any of the forums or Help thus far.
    I'm also unsure if this is the best forum to post this, but didn't want to cross post. If I'm best to post to another forum please excuse me and any suggestions would be most welcome.

    Hi Curt. Thank you. Yes Lightroom has several options for that in its metadata menu as well as a preference to automatically write changes into XMP. However when I make an edit to a DNG in LR, I am not seeing the changes when I preview the DNG in Bridge (or open it from there in ACR). I guess that I am looking for exactly that kind of menu option or preference in Bridge.
    I have ignore XMP sidecar files UNCHECKED in DNG handling and Update embedded JPEG previews checked in Camera Raw preferences.
    It's confusing also because DNG files don't actually have sidecar files for XMP (it goes in the header inside the file instead) but the other option is store in Camera Raw database. That sounds less right than the other!

  • How to import employee metadata from interface area

    Hi-
    I need to import employee meta data from my interface area.  I have configured the interface areas via workspace ( i am on new version : 11.1.2.3) , after create all the interface tables, i go back to create loading profile, but there is no employee dimension available like below img:  - Then i go back to database , create views to be similar as other dimension, but still cannot see employee dimension in the interface area.
    What shall I do ?
    Thanks a lot!

    I have found my answer from EPMA guide:
    In addition to the dimension interface tables created by the template script, you can add interface tables for additional dimensions. For example, the template script contains one set of tables for the Entity dimension. You can add more Entity dimensions as needed. For each dimension added to the interface tables, you must also include the dimension in the IM_Dimension system table so that the dimension is available during profile creation.

  • For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

    Hey all
    I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

    You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

  • How do I transfer photos from previous phone (not an iphone) to my iphone4s?

    How do I transfer photos from previous phone (not an iphone) to my iphone4s?

    You need to import the photos with your computer, or transfer the photos from the phone to your computer followed by transferring the photos to your iPhone the same way you transfer any other photos on your computer to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • How to import XMP metadata in pdf

    Could you please explain me, how to import XMP metadata in pdf file through "Live Cycle ES"?

    Yes, with LiveCycle ES (almost) all services can be invoked from any of the available endpoints (watch folder, EJB, WebService, etc).
    In this case since the ImportXMP requires two input files (the PDF and the XMP) you will need to drop a directory containing both of your files into the watch folder (not the individual files). This is because several requests can be dropped into the watch folder at the same time and without the sub directories LiveCycle couldn't tell what XMP when with what PDF.
    A com.adobe.idp.Document - AKA: Document - object is one of the common object types used across all LiveCycle products. When you deal with PDFs and many other binary file objects they are stored a Document object. It is more important that you know this when using Workbench, web services or the Java API.
    You should have a look at the documentation at: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/001553.html

  • Can someone please tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photoshop Elements 11.             o library

    Can someone tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photo Shop Elements 11.  When I am in Photo Shop Elements and I go to import the only option is to import from a camera.  I want to import a photo from iPhoto.  If I can't figure this out Photo Shop Elements is totally useless to me.

    Not sure what you are trying to do
    If you want to use PSE as an editor for iPhoto then set it in the iPhoto preferences (you need to search the forums for the exact settings - they are not obvious)
    The general answer to yoru question is to import a photo form iPhoto to  any other program is to select the photo in iPhoto and export to the desktop and import from there
    Please explain what it is taht you want to do

  • How to Access Maintenance View from a program

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a maintenance view for a table. i want to insert data's into the table through the maintenance view. I don't know how to access the view, how to insert data into the Maintenance view. Please suggest me how to access the view from the program.
    with regards,
    James...
    Valuable answers will be rewarded...

    Hi,
    What is the need to search for a program.
    Use transaction SM30 or SE16 to create or maintain entries in the table.
    e.g. if the Maintenance view is created on table A, then Goto transaction SM30 or SE16 and give the table name as A and proceed. This will automatically take u to the maintenance view on tha table A.

  • How to raise an event from a program

    Hi,
    I am creating a workflow for HR, the person will request a basic pay change than, this will start the workflow. For this i am making a screen from where i need to triger the event for the workflow.
    Does anybody has any idea? of how to raise an event from a program. or has anybody worked on a scenario like this
    Khusro Habib

    You can also use the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT which is a little newer I think. (I don't have access to a system today so that may not be the exact name of the FM but if you search SE37 under SAPWAPIEVENT* you should find it.
    the parameters will be the event name, and the object key.  The object key will be the key field of the workflow object you are using. 
    For example if you were using the saled document object then the object key would be the sales document number.  Carefull how you enter the object key, it can be a little tricky on whether or not you need the leading zeros in the input parameter. 
    Hope this helps.

  • How to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM.

    how to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM. i need to know whether TIFF format is used and also the full steps.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can not directly use a logo from a file into a Smart form. First you will have to upload it to SAP. This has to be done only once. Once it is imported into SAP then you can use it in smart form. To import a logo to SAP, goto SE78. Open the tree under GRAPHICS. Select the file type and click on the Import (first button on the toolbar, just before delete button). Select the logo file and give it some appropriate name along with description. Select appropriate type of the image and click Continue. Your logo will be uploaded into SAP from a file. Now in your smartform, Create a Graphic Node, give the name of the logo along with other properties. In this way you can import a logo from a flat file into SAP and consequently in a smart form.
    Reward points if the answer is helpful.

  • How could I Import RAW  photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

    How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
    RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
    any one can help?

    This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
    Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
    Don't forget to tick the backup box.
    Hope this helps. Peter

  • How to import a function from JS to a JSP

    how to import a function from a JS to a JSP?

    You cannot. You need to distinguish that those are two completely different languages. Javascript is a client side language which is only executed on the client and JSP is a server side language which is executed on the server before it arrives to the client. You can invoke each other indirectly, but you cannot use them simultaneously.
