Aperture 3.1.3 renumbering bug

This is a repeatable bug:
1) I import files into library, changing file names on the fly with sequential numbering. I use two cameras in my shoot, switching back and forth between them, so when I order by Version Name, I get all images from the first camera, followed by all images from the second camera. I want the names sequenced chronologically. When I arrange them by Date, the Version Names are out of sequence.
2) I select all the images (arranged by "Date"), and do a Batch Change of the version name to renumber with (Apply to Master Files checked). Version and Master File names look correct, and now they're also in chronological order.
3) If I edit with my external editor (in this case Photoshop CS5), the name of the version file that exports from Aperture contains the original import name, not the newly renumbered name that shows as the version and master name.
It seems that somehow, the process of renumbering after the images have already been imported renumbers the Masters and Versions but does not update database information, which is apparently used when creating new Versions.

I'm curious too if anyone else is having an issue with the loupe in Aperture 3.1.
I noticed I was getting false reading when checking color as well. The numbers were way off as you have expressed or did not read at all in a vertical images. Where as the number under the histogram seem to be correct when checking numbers. From what I've seen here it must be a issue with other or they must be using their loupe.

Hey there Kevin, I'm sure we will talk on the phone again before you read this!
I'm using this as a work around for now but, what a bummer! I've tried to see if the issue is present on my other machines and using other cameras and - it still is. Since no one else has chimed in here to share if they are experiencing these loop issues, I'm wondering if it is just you and me. Maybe no one really uses the loop with color values to color correct their images.

Aperture 3 - Multiple Image Selection Bug?

I am experiencing an issue within Aperture (v3.0.3) where by from a project folder containing a large number of photos, I rate the ones I wish to keep (typically 3 * and above) and these are all automatically selected for an album.
Whilst this smart album shows the correct number of images, If I use these as the basis for a book or even a static album, a larger number of images (seems to include any within a series) appear.
Am I using Aperture incorrectly?
Why does it show the correct number of images within the smart album, but copying everything shows a higher number within a book?
It also doesn't seem possible to show just a subset of photos within a book, so I have to get the number correct to save having to go through all photos for the book selection.
Is this a bug? It certainly appears to be a bug with the way in which this is working.
Thanks for your feedback...

Thanks for the response Kirby.
Essentially when I refer to 'series' I am talking about Aperture's stacks (I used the wrong phrase originally).
If I have a stack of 10 photos, however only a single one has been rated as 3 star or above (my criteria for being selected into the smart album and/or book), it seems that all 10 photos would appear in the books' photo selection.
This means that from one photo project where approximately 1800 photos were taken, I had rated around 200 of these as 3 star and above, which is the number of photos that correctly appears in the smart album.
If I then 'select all' from the smart album and use these as the basis for a book, I would expect to see only the 200 photos for selection within the book, however I see nearly 800 photos which is the total number of photos within the stacks visible in the smart album (whether photos are visible and rated sufficiently or not).
It's not possible to change the view of photos for the book selection process, so it appears to only list those photos you have chosen, however I see many photos I didn't "choose"...
Does this make it any clearer?
Thanks

Aperture 3 embedded color profile bug still unsolved (worked in Ap 2)

RE: Aperture 3.x cannot display images with certain color profiles embedded. This bug was reported
on March 11, but is still unsolved and basically makes Aperture 3 unusable for my large collection
of scanned slides which have a special color profile embedded. Viewer and sometimes Browser turns
either black or go haywire.
What is it about:
When you scan slides with a scanner, you can generate a special color profile so that the image
looks good and you can then embed this profile in the scanned tiff and jpeg images. Most pro applications honor the embedded profile and display the image correctly. In our case, we
generated a special profile named Nikon-LS5000 (it was tested for correctness!):
1) It worked fine in Aperture 2.x
2) It never worked in Aperture 3.x
3) It does not depend on the Operating System (i.e, the bug manifests itself in 10.6.2, 10.6.3 and now in 10.6.4)
4) It is no question of a special Mac Model (the bug shows on iMacs, ibook profs, and iMacs 2010)
5) It is irrelevant whether you start Aperture 3 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode
6) It shows with jpegs or tiffs, no matter
7) Preview.app or Photoshop CS4 display the images correctly!
8) If one changes the embedded profile via PS CS4 to sRGB or ProPhoto, Aperture 3 works (but the
image then has radically different colors - so no solution!)
9) The conclusion is that something affecting the processing of (some?) embedded color profiles has radically changed from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3.
I put a few jpegs with embedded color profiles and screenshots of how Aperture 3 behaves on the Picasa web:
http://picasaweb.google.com/114939413495021552399/TestapertureBilder#
you are invited to download the jpeg- images and retry in your ownAperture 3 Library.
Maybe together we can find out what causes this bug which is very annoying for any
serious photographer.

I have put the test material on another server - you can download a
zipped folder (Aperture3profilebug.zip) of all test images AND the color profile from
https://depot.uni-konstanz.de/get/txau69
with any browser. (The problem was that the Picasa Software seems to strip the color profiles from
the test images, so I had to put them on another server. It will remain there until July 1).
Regards and thanks for helping

Aperture 3 Contact Sheet Caption Bug ?

Hi, has anyone figured out a way to keep the relationship between metadata captions and the images consistent when compiling contact sheets. I am finding that if there is a mixture of landscape and portrait images, then the caption will not adjust to appear below the portrait images but simply print inside the image. Also, all the captions change their relative positions when you change the column/row configuration. Is this a bug and if so, does anyone know how to report it to Apple.

Hi there
Seems like it is a bug - if so you can report it to Apple by choosing Provide Aperture Trial Feedback from the Aperture menu within the program.
Printing seems to be the main thing from prevent AP3 from being useful to me currently, inability to make presets 'stick', border printing around an image even when no border is selected. There's probably more problems in printing but I'm kind of disheartened to use it to find any more, it's cost me a lot of wasted time already.
Take care

Lost Aperture Key w/Secure Notes bug

Had to rebuild my entire OS and got caught by the following bug and lost ALL my secure note info:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10325528#10325528
Where can I get my key ? How do I contact Apple on this ?

There is no need for an install disk. You could just download the trial from the Apple site. When you enter your serial in the trial you'll get a fully functional Aperture. You could try to contact Apple support to retrieve your serial number.

Solution for Aperture's aspect ratio/export bug?

take an image, then use the crop tool to crop it to a 'perfect' 2x3 or 3x2 aspect ratio.
now export the image.
my case?
Canon 350D images, cropped to 2x3, exported to 'within 750x510' with the purpose of getting an image of 340x510 pixels.
the result? 340x509.
the only way to get a correct export size is to manually change the crop dimensions in the HUD; very inefficient; and sometimes this doesn't work either. rather than getting 340x510, Aperture sometimes skips to 339x510.
it's especially difficult to export images in my favourite mobile size: 174x204, even when using the equivalent 29:34 aspect ratio to crop the image.
any ideas?

found it.
first, I had to extend the length parameter of the Export preset far beyond my goal of 204 pixels and rely on the 174 width and aspect ratio to automatically calculate the final exported length of 204.
next, I had to manually increase the crop length of the image, 1 or 2 pixels at a time, and export each time until Aperture exported my exact required dimensions. it only took 8 tries!!

I just downloaded Aperture 3.4.1 and now when I try and launch the application i get a warning that the video card doesn't meet the requirements. I can't find any vieo card requirements for Aperture. is this another bug?

I had problems with Aperture 3.4.1. It was telling me that my video card isn't supported. Funny thing is I was using it earlier today. I trashed the application and downloaded it again. Now it hangs up and won't load or I get the occasional note that the graphics card doesn't meet requirements.

All,
One last trip to the well today and seems llike it is resolved. The end fix was to create a new user account and then drag my data over from my existing user account. It seems that there was something within my existing user library that was currupting Aperture causing it to fail to at launch. Couldn't figure out what exactly, but this seems to have done the trick. Now i have been working for the better part of the day in a stable manner. I will update in another day assuming all is well. Good luck if you have this problem it is a total pain in the a**.

Aperture 3.4.3 "Loupe" bug

On my new iMac running OSX 10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4.3 ... if "Use Centered Loupe" is selected, the Loupe appears, but if I try to move it, the Loupe zips to the upper left corner of the Aperture window and the entire Aperture window slides to the right, partially off screen. The Alternate Loupe works fine. Any ideas on how to restore historical Use Centered Loupe operation?

Don,
your problem with the loupe seems much more seroius than mine.
Try to find out, if the problem with the Loupe is system wide on your Mt. LIon mac or only your occurs in your current user account.
To check this, log into a different user account on the mac and check Aperture with a few test pictures. You may want to create a new account if you do not have asecond account. Don't change any standard settings; just try out the loupe in Aperture.
Does it work in the other account? If not, I'd reinstall Aperture. But if it does work, it would indicate that the settings in your main user account need fixing. Try, if removing the Aperture preferences apple.com.Aperture.plist from your user library "/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences" will help, see on how to do this.
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
Also remove the mirrored file in /Users/YourUserName/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture/Container.plist from your User Library.
The user library is hidden in Mountain Lion. To unhide it, use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Quit Aperture.
Click somewhere on your empty Desktop to bring the Finder forward, then you'll see "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar.
Then hold down the options key ⌥ until "library" appears in the drop down menu. Click Library to open and navigate to the "Preferences" foder. Remove /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/apple.com.Aperture.plist and
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture/Container.plist
After removing the files to the Desktop, log off from your User account and log on again - otherwise the changes to your library may not take.
Removing the Preferences will reset all entries you made in the Preferences oanel to their default. other presets however will stay.

Léonie

Aperture makes eye purple with Red Eye Correction tool. Why? Bug?

http://www.hvmediasolutions.com/images/picture1.png
As you can see with the above picture, Aperture does not do red eye well. iPhoto gets it right, actually as well as Photoshop CS4.
Any suggestions? Or is this a bug?
And yes I could use Photoshop every time, but I am trying to do as much as I can in Aperture.
Thanks,
Ed

I have an old camera, Nikon Cool Pix 3100 and save my photos to .jpg. Yes I know, time to upgrade.
I capture straight into Aperture.
The thing that bugs me, iPhoto 08 gets it right, better than Photoshop. Aperture, since version 1, has always given me purple red eye cast on both Intel and Power PC Mac Book Pro's. Since iPhoto can get it right, Aperture should be able to.
Currently I use Pixelmator and desaturate with the brush tool for the best results.
By the way Lightroom 2 desaturates the eye to a light grey with it's red eye tool.
Different results with 4 different applications. I would love to just use one.

ATTN APPLE: Serious Aperture Printing Bug for You to know about

I am just starting a new post for Apple to read if they do.
Aperture has a serious printing bug (or 10.4.9 does) whereby my HP 8750 Photosmart ICC Paper profiles are corrupted in some way. Not only do my prints look horrible as in there are just plain wrong color filters in place, but the on screen proofing looks just as bad. The same file and printing setup (and ICC profiles) print beautifully from PS or other apps, so it is definitely an Aperture problem. The Generic CKMY looks ok and if I have the printer do the color management (which shafts me for on screen proofing) it looks good too.
Please refer to the thread "Bad Printing from HP 8750" for more info.
This is a serious bug that has been proven by more than just one user.
Please fix it!

FWIW, I have this problem too, but with an Epson 1800. I could print fine with the demo Aperture, but when I purchased it and entered my serial # I lost the ability to print. I can't change any of the preferences in the pulldowns in the print window. If I do change them they don't stick, even 'till the next time I pull them down. To print I have to have Aperture find the file in Finder, then I open it in ACR and PS and print from there (that works fine).

Mobile me gallery vs Aperture 3 -- incompatible?

My Mobile Me gallery worked perfectly in Aperture 2. I upgraded to Aperture 3 and about 20% of my gallery images got deleted and the remaining ones appeared in a random order. I am rebuilding the galleries now, but the process is VERY annoying (not to mention the time and effort needed to select from ten thousand images). The order of the images keep changing; when I try to rearrange then, some stay in their desired positions while others jump around. Although my update preference is set to "manual", Aperture keeps updating every 30 seconds or so, slowing down work significantly. My final grudge is that some of the images that appear in the published gallery are not the same as the ones I chose to create the gallery. It appears that Aperture 3 is full of bugs ... Any advice?

Aperture does not have bugs any more, at least that is what some folk would have you believe.
If you have just installed Ap3. It needs quite a long time to do all that it has to, to finish fully, and depending mostly on the library size, it could take a couple of days to several to finish. It is best left to get on with it. If this is not the problem then i have no other ideas. Allan

Aperture 3.1 - Mobileme - Flickr - Facebook

Hi, I just upgraded to Aperture 3.1 and pleased to find all my galleries for Flickr and Facebook listed, and not just the one's created in Aperture. But for mobileme, there is still a mismatch: just the ones created in mobileme are listed in Aperture. Is this a bug, by design, or what? Not even sure why all the flickr/facebook galleries mysteriously showed up, as before 3.1, it was just the ones created in Aperture that were listed. Huh?
thx,
coocoo

Came how from work, decided to do a test.
Existing Facebook albums created in Aperture 3.0.x will re-size to 720 pix wide, you have to do slight "trick".
Click on crop in the FB album inside Aperture, just touch the handles and hit enter.
Aperture will re-size to 720 pix. Not the easiest but if you have certain picts you want larger this is one way to make it work.

Aperture 3 and MobileMe are now solved?

I am still on with Aperture 2.1.4 and have just had trouble with creating a new MobileMe gallery again, as Aperture remarks after it has uploaded the previews and made the gallery - til there is all fine - it could not communicate with MobileMe. This comes further if I like to made some changes to the gallery within Aperture and try to sync them - nothing happens, only the error comes up. This bug is til I upgraded my system to SL and Aperture 2.1.4. Any idea? Does Aperture 3 still has this bug or is it solved?

Okay ... further to my original note ... has anyone seen this?
Using Aperture 3 and MobileMe ... do you need to create unique passwords for each album?
(that seemed to fix the generic password on multiple albums)
No I have not seen this kind of problem, and no you shouldn't need unique passwords for each album.
I have specific groups that I regularly share sets of albums with. When I create a new MobileMe album, I specify which group has access (or limit the access later via the Aperture-MobileMe album settings). I established the group name (and password) once. For subsequent albums I just specify that group. If I use the Tell A Friend... option to announce a new album, it will share the group/username and password.
IF I enable uploading additional photos via e-mail, that does create a unique/generic e-mail address for each album -- has to as you want any photos to upload to THAT album.
I know this answers your question, but quite likely does not provide a solution. If you can be more specific as to EXACTLY what steps you are taking I might be able to replicate your process and offer a specific solution. Hopefully the pieces I've offered may help you find a solution though?
Best wishes!

Aperture incorrectly duplicating exif data - how can I stop this?

The situation...
a) I have 2 cameras (Canon 5D, and a Canon 5D MII)
b) I imported photos from 2 Compact Flash cards (1 from each camera) where the file names (e.g. _MG_9670.CR2) clashed. (i.e. both cards used the same file numbering range)
c) Aperture imported the images correctly, however the EXIF data on both images match identically apart from image resolution. Aperture believes these photos were taken at the exact same date/time and with the same camera which of course is incorrect.
d) If I export the original files from aperture and use the finder 'Get Info' option I can see that the RAW files contain correct EXIF data, so the issue must purely be an aperture bug.
Question - is this a known bug and is there any way to work around this?
Unfortunately I have spotted this on some wedding photos I shot for a client so I have had to switch to Lightroom for some confidence in not loosing important photos. Hopefully if someone can provide a workaround before I get stuck into my editing I can switch back to Aperture that I am more familiar with.
Thanks
Adrian

Interesting problem. The duplicate filenames could be causing Aperture to get confused but I've never seen this myself. Do you have Do not import duplicates set in the Import pane? If it is not set and you set it does Aperture see the files on the second card as dups?
As a test, when you import from one of the cards (either one) rename the originals. Does the EXIF problem still happen? If not then you will need to rename one of the cameras files either on import or in the camera. I believe Canon allows you to set a filename no?
Also make sure to file a bug report with Aperture, Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback, look for the bug report entry.
If renaming the files does not fix the problem post back.

Aperture 3 with Dual Monitor puzzle

I cannot seem to figure this one out - Two monitors, main window on 1, spilt view. Monitor 2 on Single view.
Promlem: I closed the main window on 1, with the X icon - window gone, Monitor 2 still shows the last highlighted photo (on now missing main window) in fullview
How do I get the main window back on 1 ? CTR+N brings up the window with a New Project - it works but not very elegant... am I missing something basic here??
thanks for any enlightment
Regards Markus

If you disconnect the second monitor while Aperture is active, the "second monitor window" is kept open and active. This can slow down performance. To see it, use Exposé. The "Second Monitor" controls in Aperture are grayed out.
You can actually switch to and use the second monitor on a single monitor display after disconnecting the second monitor. The usual "{Command}+{Tilde}" will switch the display. Press "c" for crop and the Crop HUD shows up and is usable.
I don't know how to close the second monitor. The only thing I've found is to close and re-launch Aperture.
No shortage of bugs in this corner of the orchard.
