Aperture 3 - Genuine Fractals output gets hinky

Okay, this is a strange one: I have Genuine Fractals as a plug-in on Aperture 3. I selected a NEF (Nikon RAW) image and went to upsize it with GF - got the message that Aperture had to quit and reopen as 32 bit - fine, no problem. It did that, I made the enlargement and applied it. Everything seemed fine.
In Aperture's browsing window, the thumbnail of the TIF file created by GF looks identical to the original RAW file, as it should. However, the image of the TIF appearing in the viewing window above is "cut off" - that is, it only shows about 1/2 of the full image size. WHen I attempt to export the version as a JPEG, the JPEG that comes out is also this portion of the full image.
Meanwhile, if I open the TIF image in Preview or Photoshop Elements, it shows up as the complete original photo - no truncation. But when I try to do a "save as" in Elements (both versions 6 and 9) it doesn't even allow me to select JPEG from the list of alternative file types - only PNG, PSD etc. And this happened with more than one original image, so it's not a case of some data corruption in a single file.
I quit and reopened Aperture (so it's back in 64 bit mode) but that did not help.
How do I get Aperture to recognize the full TIF image and thus enable it to export a JPG of same?
Thanks for anyone who can explain...

Ok so summary- really two things:
How do I send RAW files to Photoshop for retouching and specify where the new PSD is created so I don't have to delete duplicates?
I think the closest thing to what you want here is to set up a custom Image Export preset(s) to export a PSD 16-bit (you can choose colorspace and DPI as well). The 'Shift-Command-E' shortcut loads the export dialog and you can designate a location as well as folder and file naming.
The 'Edit' at the bottom of the Folder and File naming drop-downs will get you to the pane allowing customization on a pretty deep level here.
Main caveat = in all cases in my experience, export sends a one layer PSD file to the location.
Note - I don't know much about Apple Script, but you may be able to come up with something for this to make it automated to some degree.
And how do I send the original Photoshop file back to Photoshop without Aperture duplicating it first.
I don't think this can be done.
Assuming you import a PSD into Aperture for management, exporting doesn't drop you back in to Aperture with the edits (only the 'Edit with Photoshop CSx will do that, which obviously makes the new Master prior to sending).
The other problem that I have experienced with multiple edits in both programs is this:
1 - Import PSD file and make adjustments in Aperture
2 - Send to Photoshop to edit (layers, filters, whatever) and save back to Aperture
3 - Apply more edits to saved file in Aperture
4 - Send back to Photoshop and edits from step #3 do not exist in resent file
I have only been successful in keeping the edits in step #3 if I make a duplicate version for the file after step #3 for resending to Photoshop, but this flattens the file nullifying the idea.
Basically, I haven't found a way to add edits to a PSD file in Aperture and send to Photoshop without flattening the file.
Maybe someone else has an idea on this one.

Where to find Genuine Fractals 3.5 for Mac anymore?

HI,
I'm a freelance illustrator working a lot with Photoshop CS.... running OSX 3.9.
I'm wondering where previous versions of Genuine Fractals 3.5 might be found?
I looked around the GF home page and couldn't find any links.
Where would one go to find such a thing?
I don't need to update the rest of my computer system, but wish I could get the older version of GF.
Thanks for any clues...

Thanks.
But I'm still wondering where one would go about finding a legitimate copy of Genuine Fractals 3.5 for Panther?
I'm finding more and more software companies simply abandon the software that will ONLY run on Panther... and leave the only available option to consumers to buy a new $3000 Mac Pro to run the new software. For instance with browser software, only Camino will reliably run on my computer anymore. All the rest require a new computer to actually work properly.
Meanwhile, my Powermac (which also cost $3000) is perfectly useful with many years of life left in it.
But back to my question... is there anyone who still sells the Genuine Fractals 3.5 for Mac I wonder?
Thanks!

CS5 error message after installing Genuine Fractals 6

I've just installed Genuine Fractals 6 into CS5 and when I launch PS, I get the following error message - see screen grab.
I've now removed GF but I still get the error message. Anyone know how to rectify this?

Since my prior message I have installed 6.0.6 into Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 x64 and I do not see the error you are describing. Perhaps there are several different CoreFoundation.dlls on your system, and Genuine Fractals is accessing the wrong one.
Is yours the 6.0.6 version? And are you seeing it in 32 bit Photoshop or 64 bit or both?
What is your operating system?
Sounds like their installer didn't remove everything it installed.
If it can help you to remove all the files, these are the files it installed into my Photoshop 32 bit folder, all having a Mod date of 5/31/2010. Note that there are several more beyond the list shown above:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\CoreFoundation.dll"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\glut32.dll"

Make sure all of the above are removed.
Also, you should try resetting your prefs (Ctrl-Shift-Alt immediately after starting Photoshop).

What do you use to read .stn files on mavericks? Genuine fractals doesn't work any longer?

What do you use to read .stn files on mavericks? Genuine fractals doesn't work any longer? I get an error message that adobe photo shop 5 cant open it because the modules? arent right. I assume that it is because I now have an intel machine. I know other people have used this file format and so how do you open your photo files?

When I try to open in Adobe Reader is says, "Adobe Reader could not open 'Blank-AF 77-LOE.xfdl' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." Now what. I didn't email it. I transferred from an external hard drive. The file opens just fine on a Windows PC.

Support for Genuine Fractals

I'd like to request that support be made for file formats that aren't necessarily fully supported. For example, I own the genuine fractals plug in for photoshop, and use that format to save ultra-large prints. Unfortunately, none of those will show up in the Lightroom database, so I have no idea if they're actually there, making me resort to Bridge for most file browsing.
I realize that Lightroom can't actually support every proprietary format, but you'd think at the very least it could recognize a file is there, and just leave the image preview blank. It should also allow me to right-click and open the file in Photoshop.

Thanks so much for the reply, Charlie Choc. Yes, I have that. In PS CS3 "On One: was a Menu Item right after "Windows" and "Help". I'd like to have that again.

Troubleshooting of 370 A tektroniks curve tracer. Output get disabled when we increase the current to the device.how to troubleshoot?

Output get disabled for Tektronics 370 A curve tracer when i apply current to the device from curve tracer. Please give me some iea to troubleshoot the problem.

hello,
i don't have tools needed but , i see one thing is that you enqueue
every time you are greater 3 that means about every 2-3 ms so consumer is really sought
is it really what you want ?
may be you want to start on a treshold so you can use a treshold fonction
if i don't make mistake your square is 10 hz and the daq is configured 25000 sample 25000 hz
so you aquire 1s of signal every 100ms , there is something to correct
make tests and tell us

Installed Genuine Fractals 6 into CS5. But I cannot access it in Photoshop. What to do?

Installed Genuine Fractals 6 into CS5. But I cannot access it in Photoshop. What to do?
I have dragged the plug ins into photoshop but nothing seems to work.
I reinstalled photoshop; reinstalled Genuine Fractals, search every menu option, no mention of Genuine Fractals in Photoshop shows up. It is supposed to be a plug in.
OnOne suggests either
1) going to Window, extensions, to find it, or
2) going to File, Automate to find it
When I do either of these, I still see no access to Genuine Fractals.
Help!

My extensive testing and side-by-side comparisons between the results achieved by Genuine Fractals and by Photoshop's Bicubic Smoother math in CS4 have left me thoroughly convinced that Photoshop Bicubic Smoother produces superior results. I would not expect that function to have deteriorated in the least in CS5.
It is true that earlier, before Bicubic Smoother was introduced, Genuine Fractals did provide a genuine advantage. But those days are gone.
Do your own testing. I'm confident you'll leave Genuine Fractals behind.

Genuine Fractals 6.0 Pro aperture plugin

Just noticed that the new GF 6.0 pro edition includes support for Aperture. Not sure how useful this is since you could just use the standalone version. But I guess it saves a step or two.
http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine_id=7

FlatE,
I had a number of photos taken in candlelight in a project in Aperture, some of which resulted from panning from side to side. I chose two that were taken seconds apart, and sent them to Photoshop to be merged into a panorama. Since Photomerge in PS does not make either of the original images the resultant, I had to save the panorama as a new image (TIFF in this case), and Import it back into Aperture for further editing. The primary retouching I wanted to then do in Aperture was to use Noise Ninja, which I have only set up as a plugin in Aperture, even though I have the license to set it up as stand alone or as a plugin to PS. I simply chose to not do much editing to the original images, but rather to wait for the merged panorama.
I then chose Pages because I trusted both its resizing ability and ease to add text below the photo as a title when printed. I felt more confident to take a PDF to the outside printing service, than a pure photo format. Obviously I could have stayed in Photoshop if I had set Noise Ninja up to use there after the merge but I like the editing of shading in Aperture better than in Photoshop, these days. Btw, I exported the retouched panorama from Aperture before dragging it into Pages. This was not a workflow for a mass of images, but one special one.

Issue in rdf output --getting square boxes in the output

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in the report output ...
'Square box ' are getting printed in the output along with data.
Can any one of you please let me know if any one solved such issue before???
Thanks in advance....

Edited by: Jana on Jan 18, 2010 6:55 PM

Jana,
This is caused (as was said in one of the answers) by a frame of some kind which has a black outline. Run the Report from the Report Builder and look at the
previewer output. See where the box is in the output, go to it and change the outline to white.

Aperture help not working - getting JavaScript error message

My Aperture 3 has been having a lot of strange issues lately, most, but not all of which have been cleared up by holding down command + option while starting up and going through all three of the choices there.
One problem that remains is the inability to open the Help files. I keep getting the following message:
“The Help Library requires JavaScript.
If JavaScript is not enabled, you will not
be able to view all the content.”
Help works in all other applications, like Pages and Final Cut Pro. I don’t get JavaScript error messages in any other applications.
I’ve already done an erase and restore from a Time Machine backup, and an archive and install. I reinstalled Aperture, although not by using the Terminal command suggested in the kbase article # HT3805.
If I go the Terminal command route, will I lose all my projects, albums, and editing? What about Mobile Me galleries?
I have a guest user on the computer, and when I log on to that user and open Aperture, the Help Library works fine. So, I know the problem is in my user account somewhere, but I don’t know how to address it. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
The fact that you have access to java in another user suggests that it is a local setting or preference.
In the applications folder/utilities there is an application Java Preferences, try resetting this and seeing if it works.
If not, try deleting the java preferences file in your users folder
systemHD/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.plist
relaunch the app Java Preferences which creates a new preferences file for you, then try Aperture again.
Let us know how this goes.

Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.

Photo quality from Aperture to iDVD output problems

What is the best option for burning a simple slideshow to a disc for viewing with a DVD player. I have tried several ways resulting in a disc that does play without problem but the quality of the photos is very poor, nothing even close to the preview in iDVD itself. My settings in Aperture is for high quality previews, I believe it is the previews that iDVD uses. I'm not sure of the correct settings for iDVD. Any suggestions or helpful links would be appreciated.

As I just told another poster in the iDVD Forum:
DVDs are LOW resolution devices by today's standards. An NTSC DVD image is 640x480 pixels (768x576 pixels PAL). This is about 0.3 megapixels!!
If you want to make a HD format disc, a 854x480 image is squeezed into 640x480 when a DVD is made.
When (and if) Blu-ray discs become readily available, things will get better.

Script output getting suppressed when trying to send email

Hi,
I am having an existing report,part of code is given below.
*data processing.....
      itcpo-tdcovtitle = z_text.
      itcpo-tdgetotf   = 'X'.
      call function 'OPEN_FORM'
         exporting
              device             = 'PRINTER'
            form               = 'LAYOUTSET'
         importing
              result             = x_itcpp_sulph
         exceptions
              canceled           = 1
              device             = 2
              form               = 3
              options            = 4
              unclosed           = 5
              others             = 6.
Data processing ....and writing to script output
perform entry(zvadin11) using returncode xscreen if found.
     call function 'CLOSE_FORM'
          importing
                result   = x_itcpp_sulph
          tables
                otfdata = otf1
          exceptions
                unopened = 1
                others   = 2.
So the control will switch from existing report to another program namely zvadin11 and gives script output.
Now,in my current program i am trying to send script output through Email,for which i am converting script output to OTF data.Then sending the data through mail,using function modules 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF' and 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.
I am able to send the data through PDF attachment as required.But i am unable to see Script output.If i comment the OTF related code from open_form and close_form,i am able to see the script output,but i am not getting data into OTF internal table.
Can i get both the functionalities of seing the script output and also get OTF data for Email.
Can any one help me?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Seshagiri,
Is yur code that sneds email before 'CLOSE_FORM'?
