Trouble with aperture importing images or perhaps seeing drive.

i keep my images on an external bus powered drive (120gb lacie rugged drive), for a while aperture would let me import images (i want to use a referenced library) from this drive. at some point aperture would not see any of the images or folders on this drive. aperture may have appeared to think it was some other kind of volume? (a cf card perhaps?)
are there any known problem with bus powered drives and aperture?
this was all with the 30 day trial version which has since expired, i'm afraid that i am a little vague with info. to compound matters ive had a drive failure, so while this all happened with 10.4.8, but now i'm now back on 10.4.6.
i have an educational version (xmas present) that i can install, but before i break the seal and install it, i want to make sure that i will be able to use this drive to store my images.
thanks!

You were right the format was set to sRAW2 after resetting the files are seen by Aperture, however, a new problem has arise. The adjustment area only sees the normal and not the RAW. In other words adjustment tab is not designated in the tool section.

Trouble with keyword import in LR5 from one catalog to another

Hi; I am trying to open a new catalog because my original catalog is getting somewhat sluggish. It has about 60000 images. First, will opening a new catalog improve anything? Second, I have tried to import the prior catalog "keywords" by going: metadata, import keywords, light room settings, key word sets and get "no items match your search. What am I doing wrong?

I have had this Nikon 7100 for about 6 months. It has more whistles and bells than I am likely to use. I haven't been troubled by 24 megs in LR I guess because I use it mostly for filing and Photoshop for editing. I only edit a few. If I were in need of batch editing, which I may in the future, I think LR would be better.
As to the timing, don't we all get spoiled. We have more computer power now than NASA had 15 years ago. It makes you wonder how the original Apple 2+ with 48k memory even functioned.

It doesn't sound unreasonable, it is the size of my current camera and I do have to wait for imports to complete but never timed them. Is this a new camera? The reason for the question is that megapixels matter a lot for Lightroom, it is something I haven't gotten used to yet. There are certain Develop adjustments Lightroom struggles with on a 24 megapixel file (cropping, and the Upright and Manual lens corrections, for example). In other words, there are things that Lightroom does on a 6, 12, 14 megapixel file with ease and cannot do with ease on a 24 megapixel file. Memory does not seem to matter, I recently upgraded my laptop and the performance improvement is marginal. You can almost hear the cogwheels moving sometimes.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

More info please:
Type of camera?
Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes

Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes. Is adobe photoshop the only program I can use?

You don't see them in iTunes. In theory your computer should see the device as a camera and you should be able to transfer the photos in the same way as if you'd connected a 'proper' camera to your computer (this only applies to photos taken with the device or saved from emails/websites etc, it doesn't apply to photos that were synced from your computer). There is some help/guidance in this article for transferring photos to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again . What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

Best way to start with Aperture, importing thousands of images at once?

I'm evaluating Aperture 2 on my MacBook for my DAM workflow going forward - right now I'm using the Bridge application paired with Photoshop and Adobe Camera RAW on my PC. I find the DAM and sorting functionality to be challenging/lacking/not intuitive for me under Bridge and I've been using it for years at work and home.
In taking a look at the trial of Aperture, I've tried the obvious thing of trying to import all images on my system under the Pictures directly, but it really doesn't like to do that. I know there are a few thousand in the JPEG directory and a few thousand in the RAW directory, but it still doesn't add up to the 10,000 limit (or was that 100,000?) that it complained about when I pulled up the program for the first time and simply tried to have it import the media on my entire hard drive.
I really don't like using Picassa, but I do like the fact that it found all the images on my hard drive for me, and allows me to do basic searches and image tweaks. There really should be a simple way for a photographer to set Aperture up with the existing (legacy? pre-Aperture?) image base which he's already collected. I have almost ten years worth of images that I want to go through and I seriously do not want to go through each and every day's worth of images (folder by folder) for ten years without some sort of automated process to go through them and pull them in.
Any ideas? Any plugins? I realize that, going forward, if I choose Aperture as my primary DAM and initial tweaker, as opposed to say Lightroom, I'll have the Automator tools to pull down images from my various cameras and place them into projects automatically.
Also, just wanted to mention that Aperture has crashed a few times on me and even, once, deleted my entire Picture library (even though it claimed in the message it would only delete the links to the images, not the images themselves). Luckily, I'm insane with my backups, and was able to restore to a point prior to the Aperture "catastrophe" in a few minutes...but still. I want to be able to trust my programs and it lost a few points there....
Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I think what you're looking for is File >> Import >> Folders into a Project. The top level folder will be imported as a project, and sub folders will create albums within that Project.
With that many images, I would choose the option to keep the images in their current location. (Unless that location is a hard drive formatted FAT32.)
If you have side car files, most of the IPTC metadata will come along, but not ratings.
I don't recommend placing the whole thing into one big project. You can keep the organizational structure you have in the finder in your Aperture Library if you do a little planning.
All that being said, do it in chunks not all at once.

Problem with viewing imported images

Not sure if anyone has any ideas for me (I'm getting to the point of uninstalling and doing a reinstall to see if it works)
I have been using PSE6 for months and all of a sudden I am having a problem. Usually, when I import photos (whether JPEG or RAW) the image shows up on my organizer screen. I can see my JPEG file image thumbnails in whatever drive/folder I have saved them to and as per the norm I cannot view the RAW files. I know that I have to edit them and save to be able to view them in the folder thumbnails.
Last night I was importing RAW images and once the import was completed the images appeared as a grey rectangle with the dreaded hourglass and they do not convert to the images. However, if I click on the gray rectangle the image will appear in a new screen but you can imagine how painstaking that would be to have to click on each photo (and I take a lot!) to just see what it was. I was using both a new SD card and a new card reader so I attempted the import twice more with the same results. I then attempted importing with old cards, old readers, hooking the camera to the computer itself with the same results. I switched my camera back to JPEG and still no luck in the organizer screen. However, when going to the folder that they were downloaded to the JPEG images did show up as usual.
Have I just clicked on a button in PSE6 that I need to unclick? The "display" option at the top right has "thumbnail view" checked. I really have no idea what is going on so any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Wallpaper problem with newly imported images. 1680x1050 displaying @840x525

Hello,
I imported some new images into Aperture and I want to use them as Desktop wallpapers for my computer. The images original size are 1680x1050 and they appear to retain they're size upon import.
I then go to System Preferences -> Desktop and ScreenSaver and find my images in the project I placed them in. All my previous imported images that were imported many months ago still display fine however these new images are displaying 840x525! I know the exact size because after selecting the image I can drag its thumbnail view from the preview area.
I then tried just specifying the folder in my hard drive where the images are located and the Desktop and Screensaver applet had no problem displaying the images at their original size 1680x1050 so I don't believe anything is wrong with them.
I tried looking throughout Aperture if there was an import setting that could be affecting this but I didn't find anything. The only thing I've done recently was upgrade my system to 10.5.4 with the Software Update tool. Is there anything else that can be wrong here?
Note: I tried using this wallpaper as well as still have the same issue, http://ironmanmovie.marvel.com/downloads/desktops/images/desk03_1680.jpg
I would appreciate any insight to what can be causing my images to display smaller than they really are on my wallpaper. When viewing them in Aperture they are the correct size.
Thanks,
- Jake

Lots of trouble with aperture

APERTURE *****!!!
And that is not easy said from a real mac fan. I am working with Aperture now for a year, specially bought the Intell G5 (specifications below) From the beginning I am not satisfied with performance of Apeture. I use, as a prof, photographer, aperture on a daily bases but I find Ap. slow and the performance is not what Apple said it should be. I twice did chech up my computer and videocard at the apple store but they say the computer is perfect.
When I do adjustments in Aperture like exposure,auto levels or sharpen etc. my screen turns black or al kinf of stripes and colors apperar on the screen.
Scrolling trough the photo's is really slow and the WHEEL ( with colors I don't know the english word for it) constantly appears.
It's really annoying and drives me crazy.
Is it just me or era there more out there who experience the same promblems.

Not sure if that matters, but do you have a localized version of Aperture?
Also, there's a post on here from Steve Weller about 32 ways to speed up Aperture. Try it out:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6018336&#6018336
I don't use previews, and I KNOW that's helping with my speed and stability. I would quit Aperture and restart from time to time to flush out old memory.
Give that link a look through. See if it helps!

Issue with re-importing images after using Nik plugins

Currently, when images are edited in a Nik plug-in and saved back to Aperture, the project folder the image originated in is changed from being organized by "date" to "manual" and then that image is inserted as the first image in that folder. In past versions of Aperture, the image would be placed back into the project folder by date. At the very least I would like to have the control on where that image is placed. And my selection of how that project folder is organized should NEVER change unless asked.
Is there some hidden setting that can change this behavior?
Ken

Unfortunately, this issue was with some of the last versions of Snow Leopard as well. Oh, and for clarification, this happens with HDR efex. Others have commented that the Nik plugin is designed to work this way. Maybe, but I would like a choice where the image is returned. I believe it is a NIk issue but they won't admit it.
I did try your suggestion, but no luck. This image changed the project folder organization to "manual" and put the image first.

Having trouble with Aperture images in a slideshow in iMovie

I've searched for answers to this but can't seem to find out what I'm doing wrong....
I'm trying to put together a slideshow in iMovie with my images from Aperture. They look horrible, color is way off and they're grainy. It was my understanding that iMovie uses the preview images from Aperture for making the movie so I have my settings in Aperture set to the best quality for previews. Is that right? Is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks for any help.

No, thats the right way I do it with my images. I use iMovie 09 and the preview size of my iLife previews are set to 1680 pixel. I do mostly some slideshows in iMovie for displaying on the web and for iPhone, so the output from iMovie will be most times at 480 pixel wide. The colors are fine and images look best as in Aperture.
What I found sometimes is, some outwashed colors - unsaturated - after I export my movie from iMovie. This comes when I use other settings for exporting the movie than the presets for iPhone or Apple TV. The same behavoir did I recognize when exporting a movie from Final Cut Express or Keynote. This behavoir may be outdated in Snow Leopard, because Quicktime X should use Colormanagement the first time.

Aperture importing Images

When I import an image to an album it will not show in the selected album - If I do a find I must do it in my entire library - Once found it list the image's master location as the album I selected to import to but that image still does not appear in that album- this occurs with both drag and drop and normal importing. If I do a find in the album I have selected it will appear but removes all image already in that album - I have tried this with multiple images - no luck Thank You

P.S. The Master Location tag doesn't show an Album name. It shows the name of the Project that the Master is part of.
