Any way of finding out how Apple will solve the Aperture / ACR problem?

Has anyone out there gotten any comments from Apple support or other people "in the know" about how Apple is going to solve the Aperture / ACR problem, and any potential time frame?
Of course, Apple is going to work on problems with its own RAW conversion; that goes without saying. But does anyone have any knowledge of whether Apple is going to open up the ability for Apple to send RAW, unconverted images to Photoshop, so that ACR can handle them?
I think knowing this now is pretty crucial. I am willing to live with the pain Aperture is going to impose on my workflow, in exchange for the file organization benefits it provides, IF I know that I'll be able to use Aperture with ACR soon (near term). But if Apple is going to just tinker with the RAW converter, and not attempt to send RAW files to ACR, then as someone else posted in another topic, this could be a long wait, and other companies have taken years to hone their RAW converters.
This is kind of my last-ditch effort to keep Aperture around, and build my workflow around it. If I know that within a month or two at the most, I'll be able to be using ACR directly when editing new versions, then I'll absorb the pain until then. But if I am looking at waiting six months for it (several man years), or riding out the process of Apple trying to get their own converter fixed, then as much as I don't want to, Aperture is going to get returned or hit eBay.
Does anyone have any idea on this? I've held up my projects for the past week trying to reorganize my workflow to work with Aperture, and I've got to pound the gavel, make a decision, and pursue a direction. Knowing what direction Apple is going to take with this makes all the difference in the world in what I do.
Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on.

This "Open External Editor from Master NEF", versus open from a dynamicaly created version is, I have decided, crucial.
I am getting less clumsy with the interface, but I simply can not get all white balance, and noise reduction done on my best available light shots.
ACR in CS2, and a subsequent "Neat Image" scrubbing is excellent for this.
The automatic association within a stack, of the resulting flattened file would be a big difference. I agree a formal statement from Apple would make me more inclined to really commit to Aperture for all my work.
Going one step further, it would be nice to keep the layers on the round-trip Master file, even if you would work with a dynamicaly created version of the returned "master" within a stack. It would occupy more disk space, but would do so only for those images where the user has made a quality decision.

  • Any way to find out which apps I use the most?

    Sometimes there are apps that I don't realize I use a lot. Is there any way to find out which apps I use the most, so I can put those on my first home screen?

    I'd keep and eye on your multitask bar. This tells me what apps I use and often forget I've been in that day.

    2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store?  Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

    Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
    The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
    If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

  • Is there any way to find out how much battery life you have on you're Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard on your Windows Partion?

    I'm a avid gamer and for my gaming needs most of the games that I love require Windows ,but due to my constant clicking I drain my mouse battery very fast so I always have backups. Is there anyway I can check how much mouse battery I have left so I can be sure before I start a gaming session that I'll be fine? Switching back and forth between partions is an option ,but I find it as more of a last resort then something to do normally.
    Thanks in advance!

    call them, tell them you NEED a new battery installed, and they need to tell you when they can do it.  That is their job to help you! Give pushback if necessary.

  • Any way to find out where most of the memory is being taken up?

    I've got a G4 Tower with the latest 10.5 OS. I have an 80 GB drive, with 19 GB remaining.
    Single clicking on Mac HD, then "apple i" shows me this.
    Is there any way to find out more specifically where most of the memory is being taken up?
    Say, what folders are the biggest in size, and where they are? I'd like to delete any unwanted crap if i could...
    Thanks.

    It's not memory, it's disk space which is a different thing.
    you can figure out what's taking all the space using 3rd party tools like [Whatsize|http://whatsize.en.softonic.com/mac], [Omindisksweeper|http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper>, [Disk Inventory X|http://www.derlien.com> or [Grandperspective|http://sourceforge.net/projects/grandperspectiv>. there is also a terminal method described on [this page|http://homepage.mac.com/francines/articles/TigerMisc.html].

  • Is there a way of finding out how many active hours you've worked on a Premiere project?

    If not, it'd be a very cool addition for Adobe to implement... so you know exactly how many hours a project is taking (and how much to charge clients etc.) Obviously we're all prone to leaving Premiere on and wandering away, so I guess it would need to be able to differentiate between active and non-active time...

    Is there a way of finding out how many active hours you've worked on a Premiere project?
    There are two things a client get's billed for, my time, and my computer's time.  If either one of us are working on a project, the client get's billed.  Even if Adobe spent (wasted?) time on adding such a feature, they'd never be able to include any time I've spent working on the project with PP closed, so this feature would have very, very, VERY limited usefulness.
    The method suggested by the images is still the best way.

  • Is there a way to find out how much storage I have used on my iphone4s?

    I am new to icloud and want to back up my phone but it is saying I have too much data to back up to the free 5.0GB.  I can purchase more but note sure how much I will need.  Is there a way to find out how much storage my phone is currently using?

    Go to Settings - General - Usage, and you will see a breakdown of all your apps along with how much space they are using.
    My guess is that you have a lot of pictures that should probably be exported to your PC/Mac to free up your space.   5GB is a lot for one phone, you should be able to get by without buying more storage if you do a little housecleaning first.

    No.  Go to id.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID & password, and immediately change your Apple ID password and security questions.
    Also, change the password to your associated emails counts as well.

  • Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library

         Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library I can delete? I just cleaned off my HD onto a media drive as a back up so all my movies documents and photos are gone but my Library seems to be a huge space hog eating sixty gigs of space and I do have alot of apps but they don't take up a third of that space... Any ideas how I can figure out what is wasting all this space? I had Spring Cleaning once but found it to be rather confusing as to what was essential to the OS and what not...
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Get free OmniDisk Sweeper. I can't imagine how you could have sixty GB in that folder. My entire ~Library isn't even 1GB. Are you sure you're not talking about your entire Home folder?
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of that folder.
    Check again. Are you sure you moved all the Movies etc. out? Could have left duplicates of everything behind when you did this.
