ACDSee Caption and Aperture

I use both Aperture and ACDSee fro Mac. When I enter iptc caption info in ACDSee first, it shows up nicely in Aperture. However, if I enter iptc caption info in Aperture first, it does not show up in ACDSee. Keywords work fine between both programs.
Yes, I "write iptc metadata to master" and I import photos into Aperture using referenced files.

Just searched for this hoping to find a solution..
This is such a waste of time!! Caption is never aligned to the value..
and it also seems impossible to align different types of fields (date or radiobutton with a text field.. Also, if you change the appearence of a field from underlined to 'none' or vice versa, the caption moves!!

Importing and displaying captions from Aperture to iPhoto

I'm using Aperture as my main photo library, then exporting select pictures with a copyright watermark on them. Then I'm importing those watermarked photos into iPhoto so that I can drag them into albums in iWeb (so the watermarks show).
I'd like for the captions to show under the photos in iPhoto, but instead the keywords do. I can't find a place to require iPhoto to display the captions other than the little caption window in the lower left of the window.
Problem is, I need the captions to chow up ultimately under the photos in the iWeb albums, but they don't. Instead, it's the keywords that show up, just like they do in iPhoto. My reasoning is that if I can get the captions to display under the photo in iPhoto, they will do the same in iWeb (I could be wrong on this).
So the ultimate question is: how to get iPhoto to import and display Aperture-entered captions and then pass them on to iWeb.
I've seen a few variants on this topic, but none that specifically address this issue.

There is no way to make iPhoto display the captions under the Photos in iPhoto. For specific help with iWeb, try posting on that forum.

Comparing iPhoto 09 and Aperture 2

I am giving a presentation on iPhoto and Aperture. Is anyone aware of a comparison table showing the significant differences? It does not need to be too sophisticated, just the basic differences.
I stopped using a iPhoto a few years ago when I moved to Aperture, in part because of the horrendous filing system at the time. iPhoto 09 is very different from the program I abandoned and has certainly closed the gap - no doubt some of the features will make their way into Aperture 3.0, when that appears. Anyway, I was hoping someone could show me where I could find a basic features comparison which I could use to show participants.
Many thanks,
Graham

Some Differences between Aperture and iPhoto.
iPhoto is firmly focussed on the Domestic market, especially on the Point and Shoot user. Aperture is aimed squarely at the Professional shooting RAW. This pretty much explains the differences.
Aperture has much higher hardware requirements than iPhoto. iPhoto may use more disk space (though with high quality Previews in Aperture there may be little difference). Put it this way: the principle difference in terms of Hardware is that iPhoto will run comfortably on any machine Apple makes.
Aperture has much better fine control over Processing Raws, though it uses the same engine for this as iPhoto. However, iPhoto can process and edit RAWs too. iPhoto can send a RAW file to an external editor, which Aperture cannot. The both support exactly the same RAW formats, and the same file formats.
iPhoto neither reads nor writes all of the IPTC data that Aperture does. But it can write to the Exif (date and time) and it can write to the IPTC (Title, Keywords and Caption) on Export. Aperture is much stronger in this area.
iPhoto has better slideshows, especially in iPhoto 09, with six different styles, much better slideshow exports options too, up to HD quality - actually any Slideshow export is better than Aperture’s
Books are limited by Template in iPhoto, all elements of a book are editable in Aperture. Aperture has no support for printing Calendars and other items.
Aperture has much better support for Referenced Libraries. Running iPhoto in Referenced Mode is tricky, especially when the Originals are stored on a different volume. There is no easy mechanism for re-connecting Originals and therefore migrating to a new volume or even a new machine can be a bear. Aperture is much better for processing and managing large numbers of files. That said, iPhoto is good for 250k images, and we’ve seen reports over on the iPhoto forum of Libraries in excess of 100k. Users report some performance issues.
Both are integrated throughout the OS and in the same ways. They have limited integration with each other.
I smile when folks refer to iPhoto’s “convoluted” filing system. This impression comes from people trying to access the files via the Finder. Have you ever looked inside an Aperture Library?

.Mac 'Personal Domain' and Aperture Galleries?

hi all.
I have a personal domain www.gregory.hk and I've arranged with my DNS guys to set up a subdomain gallery.gregory.hk with the CNAME pointing to web.mac.com
I'm getting two impressions from searches I've done on Apple:
1. personal domains only apply to .Web and not to Galleries.
2. personal domains must be a 'www' subdomain; i.e., the subdomain must be www[.mySub].myDomain.hk
So, the questions:
has anyone created galleries with Aperture and sent them to their personal domain?
has anyone been able to use a personal domain that doesn't include the www sub? after all, all that really matters is that requests to web.mac.com are via Port 80... right?
cheers,
Gregory

great answer. thank you.
although the .Mac galleries have a slick interface (and Aperture only uploads new/edited photos), I have a few problems with the .Mac galleries:
the url shows your mac.com user name! I like to keep my @mac.com address secret so that's a big problem.
no comments?
very limited space (and not customisable) for album descriptions.
no captions? (or am I blind and miss it?)
I want to have a slick gallery that can be configured/populated from Aperture, and preferably be styled/coded to match my MT4 blog (I'm working on a new version of my blog at this time...).
mac.com was a consideration because my .Mac subscription includes the storage/bandwidth and it's just sitting there not getting used.
SmugMug Photo is another consideration but I'm a little concerned about the work needed to (a) simplify the interface and (b) match it up with my blog design. (I don't like cluttered album designs. here's one of my own hand-designed albums for reference.)
for the record, I'm handy with xhtml and css.
suggestions, input and opinions would be welcomed.
sincerely,
Gregory

Sports Photographers and Aperture

I was wondering if there are any sports photographers out there that use strictly use Aperture for their post processing. I am considering a Photo Mechanic/ Photoshop workflow perhaps in addition to Aperture. Anyone have any thoughts or pros and cons in reference to modifying my process?
Thanks in advance!

I shoot predominantly sports and use a PhotoMechanic/Aperture workflow from location on a macbook pro or at home with a Mac Pro. A typical workflow:
1. Ingest with PM (I tend to shoot JPG unless big time event or uncertain light)
2. Select pics to file with tagging and create new temp directory for just the keepers
3. Caption and rename the keepers
4. Upload the temp keeper directory into Aperture and make minor adjustments as necessary (typically horizon line and cropping)
5. Save the files into a temp upload directory at a compression setting to get size down to 2MB or less (usually PS 8)
6. FTP the upload directory to the wire service site
Given that I do very limited editing, I find Aperture the most efficient tool. It also then creates an auto-archive of the keepers. At a later time, I may review the rest of the ingest pics for anything I may want to keep for stock. If editing on a Macbook Pro, I'll export the project to a portable hard drive and later upload it to my master Aperture Library on the Mac Pro at home (which, in turn, has on online vault and off-line vault) and burn the project backups periodically to DVD. No chance for lost images with several redundancies.
I'd be curious to hear other experiences / workflow tweaks.

Nikon ViewNX 2 and Aperture Issues

I recently addeded Descriptions/Captions to Nikon RAW files via Nikon View NX2. I originally had these same images in an Aperture library. When I went back to view the images in the Aperture Library they were no longer readable by Aperture. Each image that had benen loaded in to Aperture and was oringalnlly visable now shows up as Unsupported Image Format. Something Nikon has done to the file seems to be keeping Aperture from seeing the NEF's properly. Has anyone else experinced this issue and if so were you able to fix it?

Hi Jim,
Sadly you have run into the fact that Nikon software does not treat the NEF as sacrocanct.
This is not something you would necessarily expect, as every other piece of non-camera manufacturer software PROCESSES the RAW file before it can use it...and they expect to be seeing a fresh out of camera original NEF. Nikon, being the only one that actually knows all the details of the file construction of a NEF, chose to edit the NEF directly.
Aperture's hallmark is non-destructive editing, meaning it reads the NEF, processes it, and creates "Versions" which are nothing more than a recipe of what was done to the orignal file. If the NEF that Aperture relied upon as a basis for its processed versions is no longer the pure, out of camera Nikon NEF format, then it will no longer recognize them. You may or may not be able to re-import the edited NEFs into Aperture.
I use the backup function in Aperture when I import, storing the NEFs to two places at once. I do not use View, but I did use Capture NX2 for a bit, and I always did it with copies of the NEFs, never the ones I was managing in Aperture.
I guess my bigger question is why are you using View, and why didn't you add the captions in Aperture?
Hope this was helpful,
KJ Doyle

Text caption in hidden not exported (export /project captions and closed captions)

If you have in your demonstration text caption (ballooons) in
hidden , if you export the project caption to word it's not in
there...
I use to set some text captions to hidden to ease my life on
slides that contain lots of ballons (and some over other ones) ,
when I export the flash animation, everything is fine , all is in
there (including the "hidden text") .
The trouble is that if i export the "project caption and
closed caption" to Word , the text of captions in hidden is not in
there . (I'm not talking about exporting handsout where you have an
option to export as well hidden slides.)
Exept if I'm wrong, I have not founded any option to manage
the fact to export hidden caption as well (or set all hidden
caption of the demonstration to "not hidden") .
It is really a problem , especially if you have done lots of
movie that needs translation, you have sent the "exported caption"
to the translation service and now you realise that some parts are
missing .... ;(

Hi There,
When you export the doc file as Project Caption and Closed Caption. if you change the fonts and style in Doc file and the reimported it in Captivate. It will accept those changes and you can see those changes in Captivate with the same fonts settings.
Thanks

Print quality difference between iphoto and aperture...?

when ordering books, is there a print quality difference between using iPhoto and Aperture? or are they sent to the same lab?
it's possible i may have some setting wrong, but when i order a book using iphoto, i never really feel the quality is that great. it's good, i just feel it could be a lot better. the print quality sort of reminds me of newsprint, albeit high quality newsprint. similar sized prints made at home on my basic 3-in-1 printer look better.
thanks...

Previews are what you view on your display. When you import a photo into Aperture (and I'm pretty sure iPhoto as well), your computer automatically generates a preview for quick viewing. The original images are stored in your library, but it is the preview that you see.
In Aperture, you are able to set the size and quality of these previews. When sharing photos between Aperture and iPhoto, the process is as follows:
Let's say that your images are stored in Aperture, but you also want to be able to view them in iPhoto without taking up too much room on your hard drive. Essentially, if you were to import the originals into iPhoto as well, you would be storing two exact, yet separate copies of the same image on your hard drive. As you are aware, with large images (whether JPEG's, and especially RAW) this would put quite a tax on your storage capacity after not too long.
So, you have your images in one or the other (in this case Aperture), but you want to play around with them in iPhoto. What you can do, is open iPhoto, go to the File menu and then select, Show Aperture Library. This will open a window with all of the contents of your Aperture Library. You can then drag any images you want into iPhoto . The only thing is, you are not dragging the original JPEG's, but rather, the previews of those images. If you have those previews set to a lower quality (again for capacity concerns), you will only have lower quality and lower detailed images in iPhoto. These images might not be ideal, or even suitable for printing high quality prints. The previews that you generate in Aperture though can be adjusted to be extremely high quality with no size limits.
My thinking was that since you mentioned Aperture, it sounded like you had experience with working with it and with ordering a photo book through Aperture. I guess you were saying that you ordered via iPhoto, weren't happy with the quality and were wondering if Aperture created books were better.
Anyway, if this is the case, I cannot answer that for you. I have never ordered a book through Aperture. If the quality of your images is good, you should be able to get a decent product no matter where you order it from. There is not doubt that the materials used and the print shop that does the work makes a difference, but if your images are good, you should still get a decent product through iPhoto. Perhaps iPhoto isn't the way to go though if you have had poor experiences with them.
If you haven't used Aperture yet, I would highly recommend it though aside from the photo book aspect of this thread. It is a stellar product.
I hope this helps.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open. I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported. How can I get my pictures?

If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

After upgrading to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 all the library icons are shown plain. Does anyone has a hint?

If it is still slow after removing Symantec, you may need a RAM upgrade. Yosemite can run very poorly on older machines with only 4 GB RAM.

IPhone - how to sync with iPhoto and Aperture at the same time ???

I'm having a really hard time with syncing my photos - I'm using iPhoto and Aperture on my Mac. When I launch iTunes and start managing my iPhone, it seems like I should be able to sync photos from a variety of sources all at once (iPhoto, Aperture, other folders).
However, whichever option I select in the photos drop-down becomes the only libraries that are available to sync. What I mean is that if I select some of the Albums in my iPhoto list and sync those, when I later drill down to Aperture and select albums from there and perform a sync - then the previously synced/loaded albums and photos from iPhoto are automatically removed from the iPhone.
Why can't I sync between multiple photo albums / sources at the same time? This is incredibly annoying.

Here's how I solved this problem:
In Aperture, select File -> Import -> iPhoto Library
Then under the "Store Files" dropdown, be sure "In their Original Location" is select. This will allow Aperture to see your iPhoto library, but it will be managed by reference rather than phyisically imported.
Now, in iTunes, select Aperture as the application from which you want to synch photos, and select the option to synch specific albums.
You should be able to see the names of albums in iPhoto as well as those created in Aperture.

What's the best way to merge, restore or reconstruct iPhoto and Aperture libraries to resolve images that are not found/offline?

Hey there, Apple Support Communities.
To start, I'm working on a MBP Retina 15" with a 2.3GHz i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM. 10GB free on a 256GB SS HD. Attached are two external HDs - one 1TB Western Digital portable drive from 2011, one 2TB Porsche LaCie non-portable drive from 2013; both connected via USB. All photo libraries in question are on the external drives.
I have Aperture 3.5.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. I prefer to work in Aperture.
The Issue(s)
Over the years, I have accumulated a number of iPhoto libraries and Aperture libraries. At one point, I thought my WD drive was dying so I purchased the LaCie and copied all libraries over the the LaCie drive. (Turns out, there's probably an issue with my USB port reading drives, because I can once again see the WD drive and occasionally I can't see the LaCie drive.)
So now I have old version of some libraries on the WD drive, and new versions on the LaCie drive.
When I was moving things, I ran the software Gemini to de-dupe my iPhoto libraries. Not sure what effect that may have had on my issues.
In my main Aperture library and in some iPhoto libraries, I get the image-not-found badge or exclamation point. I've dug through the hidden Masters folders in various libraries to find the original image. In some cases, I have been able to find the original image, sometimes in a different version of the iPhoto library.
My Question(s)
1. For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
2. For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
3. Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
TL;DR: Too many iPhoto and Aperture libraries, and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries. Steps/process to fix?
Thank you! Let me know if you need add'l info to offer advice.
With appreciation,
Christie

That will not be an easy task, Christie.
I am afraid, your cleaning session with Gemini may have actually removed originals. I have never used this duplicate finder tool, but other posters here reported problems. Gemini seems to replace duplicate original files in photo libraries by links, and this way, deleting images can cause the references for other images to break. And Aperture does not follow symbolic links - at least, I could never get it to find original files this way, when I experimented with this.
1. For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
You have to find the originals yourself. If you can find them or restore them from a backup, Aperture can reconnect them. The reconnect panel can show you, where the originals are supposed to be, so youcan see the filename and make a Spotlight search.
For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
Make a copy of the missing original you found in a folder outside the iPhoto library. You can either open the iPhoto library in Aperture and use "File > Locate Referenced file" to reconnect the originals, or simply reimport them. Then Lift&Stamp all adjustments and metadata to the reimported version.
See this manual page on how to reconnect originals: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images (the paragraph: Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images)
Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
References images will stay referenced, managed will remain managed. You need to unhide all hidden photos in iPhoto - this cannot be done in Aperture.
and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries. Steps/process to fix?
That is probably due to Gemini's replacing duplicate originals by links, and your best cause of action is to fix this before merging the libraries. Reconnecting can be done for your iPhoto libraries in Aperture.

Error by exporting Captivate to Word: "Project Captions and Closed Captions"

Hello everybody,
I'm from Germany, working in Heidelberg and I've got a problem! I would so much appreciate if somebody would have a solution for it.
Nobody could help me yet - no Adobe support via chat, no Adobe support via phone. They said the forum is my last chance. I'm frustrated. But a solution is important for my ongoing project...
Description of the problem situation:
I've created an e-learning project in German language. This e-learning shall be translated into other languages, so I want to export a word document with the captions inside. I'm doing this way:
File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions, and save it as word doc.
But then, after I typed in a name for the word document, another "Save as"-window appears in the background (I discovered it by coincidence) and wants me to save a word template before the export process starts. Here's a screenshot:
I don't know the reason for this second "Save as" window, so I try to save a word template (I saved it on my desktop, because I don't know where else).
After klicking on "Save" the following error message appears:
(in English: Error by exporting of captions. Try the following things: if Microsoft Word is installed, if Word is open, if the exported file is open etc.)
It's not depending on the captivate file as such, I tried it with other ones (which have only one slide) - the same problem.
It's not depending on my computer, I tried it with another one in my office - there was the same thing, same error message (but without the step of saving a word template!).
Maybe important: My hardware and versions I'm working with...
Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1), 64bit
Adobe Captivate 8
Microsoft Word 2010
Does anyone has the same problem or does anyone know the answer for this problem?
I would really really appreciate your answers!! Thank you in advance!
Chris

Dear Mayank, dear Lilybiri,
thank you both soooo much, I couldn't belive what I saw as the export of captions worked!!! It was really surprising!
I guess your both solutions helped me out - Mayank's hint of the admin's rights was the necessary information! But it first worked because Lilybiri told me to insist and to try it after I restarted the PC - and to do it several times! So it worked!! Otherwise I would probably still be confused.
Thank you so much!
Here's the proof
Chris
PS: Does anyone know, why I still have to decide if I want to save the "Adobe Captivate" Template thing?
Every time I'm doing an export it asks me every time if I want to save or not save the "Adobe Captivate"-file...
