Aperture 3 Stitching photos

Hi,
I'm always excited about a new version of Aperture.
I saw there were hundreds of new features.
Can Aperture 3 stitch two panoramic photos together ?
It seems to me like a basic function in digital photography,
Friendly Greetings,
Benoit Facon

Why should Aperture have a stitching function when it doesn't have the ability to remove backgrounds, say, or copy elements from one photo to another, or have layered images? Because these are all functions of a +pixel editor+ like Photoshop, not a Digital Asset Manager, which is what Aperture is. My point is not to be argumentative, but to demonstrate that you're looking in the wrong place for this kind on functionality.

  • I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture. 
    iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
    You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once.  But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
    The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive.  Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.

  • How to email Aperture library photos from iPhoto

    Want to use Aperture library photos (which I can easily view from iPhoto 11) in the beautiful email systems of iPhoto. When I select the Aperture library photos and select Share-email nothing happens, then the Share-email menu becomes grayed out. According to the help available all aperture library shots are fully available for use in iPhoto 11. Any suggestions? Thanks

    You hav to move the photos from Aperture to iPhoto to do this.
    1. Using the Media Browser you can drag from the browser to the iPhoto Window - this yields the Aperture Previews
    2. Export from Aperture to the Finder, import to iPhoto.
    That said if you use Apple's Mail.app you can
    A: Take advantage of the Stationery feature, which has more templates than iPhoto, more varied thatn iPhoto and others can be downloaded
    B: It's a full mail application, with an outbox and so on
    C: You can email from Aperture, and so avoid this loop into iPhoto.

  • I'd like to remove a thin line that is part of the page design in one of Aperture's photo books.  I can't seem to make it happen.  Any suggestions?

    The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

  • Cannot see Aperture 3 photos in iWeb

    I have a huge problem... I am a photographer and am constantly updating my website, however, I cannot see my Aperture 3 photos in iWeb (the folders that I have created over the past few months don't show up at all). I have had to transfer photos from Aperture 3 to my iPhoto library in order to use them in iWeb, which is such a waste of time (and space). Can someone please assist???

    If you have not found any problems using DiskUtility, I would suggest that you might try deleting your Aperture preferences file (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945) then re-open Aperture and set your preferences up again. That may resolve the iWeb issue as well as your Export difficulties.
    Let us know what happens.
    Cheers!

  • Stitching photos in iPhoto

    Hi, can…someone tell me if you can stitch photos together in iPhoto to create a panoramic photo using multiple photos taken with a Canon Digital camera?
    Thanks

    Hi.
    No, iPhoto can't do this. You can export a copy of each photo for your panorama to your Desktop. Open the exports in Canon PhotoStitch, create your panorama, and import it to your iPhoto library as a new original.
    Regards.

  • Stitching photos captured in IPhoto

    Hope there is an easy solution to this and that I'm just not seeing what it is.
    My Canon Powershot camera allows me to "stitch" photos. In the past when I was using a PC I've done that through the Canon "Image Browser" program that came with the camera. Recently I switched to a MAC and IPhoto. My problem is this: I can't find a way to copy photos shot in stitch mode, now captured to IPhoto, to the Canon program to stitch them there.
    The Canon program shows a tree/directory, but no where on it can I find the photos now in IPhoto. All that appears related to IPhoto is something called "IPhoto Library Recovery Photos", which is a collection of photos taken over a year ago. All the photos transferred from my old PC are visible but nothing after January when I bought the MAC.
    If I go to "Finder" and look at "Pictures" on the basic tree I see all of my old photos nicely arrayed in files by date. I can open each file and get access to the photos separately. As for my new material captured to IPhoto, all I see on the treee is "IPhoto Library". If I click on this I'm taken directly out of finder to the IPhoto program.
    Can anyone explain what's happening? Why don't all my photos (now over 200) captured to IPhoto show up as independent files in the "Finder"? How am I to locate the images that need to be stiched and how do I get them into the Canon stitching program,"Image Browser"? Hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

  • Aperture & RAW photos?

    Does the iPhone sync with Aperture like photo iPods do? And if so does it support RAW files (which current iPods don't)?

    As long as you have previews for the photos, the sync should be fine. I shoot raw, and generally keep previews off. But I made a new album just for iphone syncing, dragged in all the photos I wanted (it automatically copies them in without removing them from their home projects) then updated previews, and then told itunes to sync with that new album. All went well.
    Note that you can set the resolution of the previews and their quality in Aperture prefs. Mine are far higher than the iphones res. though I'm not sure they're downsampled for iphone's sync. They come out to about 124 k on the iphone, which I know only from emailing one back to myself and checking its size.

  • Since upgrade of aperture, my photos from a year ago are not in library.  On time machine, they are there, but I cant transfer them to todays aperture library because it says the old version is not supported.  Please help!!

    Since the upgrade of Aperture, my photos from a year ago are not showing up.  When I go to time machine, they show up in the library, but I cant transfer them to my todays aperture because it says the old program needs to be updated.  How do I get my pics from a year ago transferred to todays Aperture?  Please help!!!!

    You will be restoring the old Aperture library from TM, having it on the Desktop is fine.
    Once the restore is finished you will have the old Aperture library in that folder. Now you want to open this library by double clicking it (the library). This will open Aperture on it and Aperture will  tell you the library needs to be upgraded. Let Aperture upgrade the library.
    Once the Library is upgraded to the latest version of Aperture you can do want you want with it. Once you have gotten to this point if you still need help post back.

  • Can i stitch photos in lightroom

    Is it possible to stitch photos in LR and,if so, how many can i put together?

    You will need Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, or some other program to stitch images together. That is not a function of Lightroom. If you are using a Windows computer you might consider Microsoft Ice. It's a free program that does a pretty good job of stitching images. You just have to export JPEG images and then use those with Ice.

  • Difference between iPhoto and Aperture and photo storage

    I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Aperture but I'm a little confused about the differences in the way photo edits are handled. The iPhoto to Aperture page says that Aperture stores photo changes in one photo rather than duplicating them, therefore taking up less space. BUT they also use a unified shared library. So how is it possible for Aperture to handle edits differently if the library is now shared between the two applications?

    Aperture may save you some space if you choose not to generate previews, but then you won't be able to integrate with other apps.
    As Terence Devlin says. But being able to manage the Previews is quite a space saver. In Aperture you can selectively generate previews only for the photos that you want to share with other applications, and you can specify the size and quality of the previews you want. iPhoto on the other hand will always create previews for all photos, and all in very high quality. In Aperture I delete previews for redundant photos and keep the previews only for my highest ratest photos that I am likely to share with other applications and want to use as a screensaver or slideshow.
    If you share your photo library between Aperture and iPhoto and edit a photo in iPhoto, then iPhoto will add a preview for this photo, even if you disabled previews in Aperture.

  • Aperture duplicating photo's

    Has anyone else noticed Aperture duplicating photo's?
    I imported about 1000 from a digital camera card earlier today and I'm just going through them now and can see a number of duplications (between 3 and 7 copies of each of the images that have been duplicated) all with the same name. I'm going through deleting them manually at the moment, is there a way to get it to check and delete duplications automatically? How do I stop it from doing it in the future as well?

    I would highly recommend to never use that command -- just simply eject and then reformat the card in the camera.
    Plus, if something did not get imported correctly, your one and only source to reimport has been wiped. Recommended workflow is to import, check the results, backup.  Only then should you delete the contents of the card.

  • Can you stitch photos with aperture 2? or is there a plug in to do it?

  • Two issues on Aperture: single photo won't show in viewer, emptied trash won't indicate as empty

    Using Version 3.5.1. Several after-market edit plug-ins attached. Two new problems:
    Very recently, when editing, the single photo viewer mode will start showing only black (blank), or shows the photo very briefly then goes black, or shows another different photo, or a damaged-looking photo. Multiple photo viewer modes still work ok. Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
    Also, trash continually indicates 477 undeleted photos even after emptying. Additional photos added to trash get added to this count (i.e. it then indicates, say, 492 photos in trash, while showing only the actual 15 legitimate files in the trash folder), and then can successfully deleted the actual trashed files back to the mysterious 477, although with no photos actually left in the trash folder and the Empty Trash function still active for these 477 ghost files. This problem persists despite restarting.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
    First of all, make sure you have a current, working backup of your Aperture library.
    Is your Aperture library on your system drive or on an external drive? If external drive, how is the library connected? And is the library referenced or managed?
    Several after-market edit plug-ins attached.
    Have you checked, if your plug-ins are the latest versions, and compatible with MacOS X Mavericks?
    What trouble-shooting measures have you already tried? If you have not already done so, use the Aperture Library First Aid tools and repair the permissions and the database, see this page of the Aperture User Manual:  Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    Post back, with more information.

  • ITunes can't see Aperture album photos to sync with iPhone??

    I had to export my Aperture library to downgrade from version 3.2 to 3.1.3 due to all the bugs in 3.2.  Since that time, though there are photos in my albums that I can see, edit, etc these pics are not showing up on the Photos screen of the Sync prefs when my iPhone 4 is plugged in.  The albums themselves all show up when I select to sync with Aperture but it shows "0" photos in every album despite the fact that all the albums have photos in them.  I have repaired permissions on Aperture library, on the computer, upgraded to iTunes 10.5, restarted the computer.  I'm guessing there was a preference file that might have linked the old Aperture library (no longer in the "Pictures" folder) to iTunes photo syncing with iPhone.  New Aperture Library has same name and location as the old one but iTunes just isn't seeing these photos.  Any suggestions on fixing?

    I made a duplicate copy of a picture and did some editing of it.  I added sepia tone, etc.  When I go to Shutterfly to upload the edited picture, I can't find it.  I see the original, but not the edited duplicate.  I shut down the computer last night and let it update and checked it again this morning, but still can't find the edited picture.  I know it is "in there" somewhere, because when I open Aperture 3, I can see the edited pic.  Any thoughts?  Thank you.
