Aperture 3: Watermarks with Facebook, Flickr, and MobileMe

I am pleased that Apple has released Aperture 3. I have not had the chance to download the 30-day trial or play with it in an Apple store yet. For those of you who have, do you know if Apple has enabled (visible) watermarking as part of the sharing on Facebook, Flickr, and MobileMe? I don't post images without visible watermarks to the Internet without one.
What I currently do with Aperture 2.x is export the images (as .jpg) into a folder adding a watermark as part of the export preset, then import them back into Aperture and then post to MobileMe, Facebook, or Flickr. I am hoping that Aperture 3 eliminates the need for these extra steps.
If it doesn't have this ability, does anyone do anything similar that might be more streamlined?

Thank you folks for your suggestions. I just purchased Aperture 3 and needed to create a watermark. I was able to accomplish this using the steps below.
1. Scan the watermark into the computer or create it with an editing application. (I scanned my signature into my computer and saved it as a jpg. If you are worried about someone having your signature you may want to use a printed watermark.)
2. Open the scanned image in a photo editing application. (I used Photoshop even though I am very uncomfortable with its complexity.)
3. Adjust the size of the image using the," Image Size", tool under "Image" column in the Menu. (Do not use the Canvas Size tool. It did not work for me.)
4. Place the Layers palette on the desktop by selecting, "Layers" in the Window column at the end of the Menu.
5. Double click on the background icon in the Layers palette to open a new layer. It should be Layer 0.
6. Click, "OK".
7. Next select the Magic Wand in the tools palette and touch the background of the image. Click on the background to select the background. Click delete to make the the background disappear. The watermark should remain without the background.
8. If there are any areas enclosed in a loop, like a zero or, "O", take the magic wand and select the enclosed area to highlight it. Remove this area with the delete button. You can put the copyright mark on the image if you like by typing it next to your watermark.
9. Go to, "Save As", and save the image as a psd file where you can find it.
10. Quit the application and open Aperture and go to the preference folder for Aperture.
11. Select the Export icon and activate the, "Email photo export", preset button.
12. Select edit and go to, "Choose Image", to select your watermark with the transparent background.
13. Select a new preset on the right and name your new watermark.
14. The new watermark will appear in the, "Email photo export" options.

  • Mailing photos, can I remove option for Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter?

    I would like to remove the icons for Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, when I select to mail pictures. Is this even possible?  The same would be nice for Safari as well.

  • Creating space in Aperture Library & Deleting unwanted Facebook/Flickr...

    After updating Aperture via the most recent update, Aperture synced ALL my photo libraries from Facebook and Flickr... I didn't want this. Now I keep getting the message "insufficient space in Aperture library" I want to delete the Facebook & Flickr albums that have been added to my Aperture WITHOUT deleting them online. Am I able to do so just by deleting the albums that were synced to my library OR will deleting them from my Aperture will cause them to also be deleted online?
    I have deselected the "sync" option from preferences, but whenever I select an album, Aperture proceeds to go into "sync" mode.
    HELP please, I have pictures I need to import, edit and get out...
    Thank you

    I called Apple and first I was told that if I delete a Facebook or Flickr album from my library that the album would remain on Facebook or Flickr so I proceeded to delete them. As soon as I did a message came up that said something to the effect of "Deleting this album will delete the album on Facebook" I went into my Aperture, file, web accounts and disabled all of them to be sure...
    Regarding the other question... I just needed more space on my internal hard drive.

  • HT1338 I have trouble with Facebook opening and if it does open, it freezes up

    I have trouble getting onto Facebook with my MAC; and if I do get on, it freezes up.  Anyone else have this problem recently?

    Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance.  All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

  • Aperture 3 - Uploads to Flickr and MobileMe

    I've been using Aperture 3 on my nearly new iMac for almost a week. I decided to upload some photos to MobileMe and Flickr. The photos upload without problem and appear in the galleries in both cases. Its once the uploading is complete that the trouble starts.
    The icon next to the gallery name continues to spin with the circular arrows and the whole system gradually slows down until it becomes virtually unresponsive. Only once I force quit Aperture does the computer become useable again.
    This happens each time photos are uploaded to MobileMe or Flickr.

    The login info is stored in your keychain. Deleting it from the keychain is what you want.
    Open the Keychain Access application. In the search bar at the top type "flickr". When I did this there were two entries that had Aperture in the name. I deleted them both and now Flickr is no longer automatically logging in within Aperture.

  • Need help with facebook chat and notifications

    Hey, guys.
    Since I update to software version 10.2.1.2102 I havent been able to recieve facebook chat messages on the blackberry hub. Before the update anytime I had my phone conected to a wireless network it automatically recieved facebook messages on the hub. Now, although I can send messages, and recieve messages if that contact happens to be online, once I close the hub the conversation is gone and I do not get any more messages, only the "new messages from *person*" e-mail after some time.
    Also, I do not get notifications about people's birthdays. I get the "Next event in x hours" notification on the lock screen, if I do go into the calendar I see the notification at the top of the page, but it does not ring to warn me of my contacts birthdays.
    Can anyone help me with this two problems? Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Start by resetting your Hub. While in the Hub, swipe down diagonally from the top right corner to the center of your screen four times in a row.
    Let us know if that helps you.  
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • Syncing my iPhone with my Mac and MobileMe, leaves 2 Sets of calendars

    After I sync my iPhone with MobileMe & my Mac I have 2 identical sets of calendars on my iPhone.
    They are named "me.com" and "On my iPhone".
    All calendar items are shown twice on the phone.

    Deleted the contacts from where?  The device? the computer? both?
    Use the backup of the computer to put them back if they have been deleted off the computer.  Once that is done, they can be synced to the iPhone.

  • Problem with facebook app and some others...

    Hi everyone.
    I would like to know if that happened to anyone:
    I installed the facebook app a while ago. the app has been working for a fair bit of time and all of a sudden it 'disappeared'. What I mean is the app doesn't want to show up on summerboard anymore... It looks like the icon doesn't show up.
    I deleted it by syncing with itunes and put it back, still nothing.
    I restore the factory firmware, same thing.
    It seems to do he same thing with fringe and a couple of others apps. But I can still see most of my apps.
    Anyone with an idea???

    Sorry, I meant Springboard (the 'desktop' )...
    I'm using only iTunes to install apps... but in the appstore the status of the application is 'installed'...

  • Problem with Facebook popups (and other UIScreen based popups) since AIR SDK 15.0.0.302

    As you may remember, since the release of iOS 8 it's no longer possible to upload apps which were compiled with AIR SDK versions before 15.0.0.302 (No longer able to submit app to iTunes.)
    Problem is, since that version UIScreen based popups (such as Facebook dialogs in native extensions, etc.) are not presented correctly.
    There's a bug report: Bug#3837136 - Apps Built with AIR for iOS 8 reporting incorrect UISCreen dimensions
    And it seems like quite a critical problem given that we don't have an option to compile our apps using previous versions.
    I wish we had an ETA for this issue.

    Firstly, there's no such thing as Apache 9.3, there's Apache 1 (and subversions) and Apache 2 (and subversions). Your error message -
    Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28Shows you're using Apache 1.3.28
    Secondly, I'm confused by your comment -
    I do not have Apache 9.3 or higher but I think oracle should offer this in its companion CDOracle does offer the Apache server, if you're saying you didn't get it from Oracle then where did your Apache server come from?
    Thirdly, I notice from your config file -
    ErrorLog "|E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache\bin\rotatelogs logs/error_log 43200"That you're piping the logs through rotatelogs, are you sure the logfiles haven't just been renamed?

  • Aperture remove integration with address book and faces

    Is there a way to remove the Faces integration with address book?
    Reason I ask is because there seems to be not a good way to integrate the faces with the address book unless there is? For example, in faces I probably have about 20 that are family and close friends. In my address book, I have maybe 200 contacts. When I face people in pictures, I don't want to choose from a list of 200. Plus I notice if I have a friend tagged already, they show up as my friend John, but show up in the list from address book as John B, so who do I pick? How can I just make it one? There are many people that I would want nicknames in faces for or like "Dad" instead of my dad's full name like I have in the address book.
    Is anyone else having these issues? How to best integrate with address book or how do I remove the integration?

    Even if I attempt to integrate the faces with address book by typing in the full name in the faces after click "i" in the face, then it combines it, but then the address book face disappears to blank with no picture.
    very odd behavior, how are you guys dealing with this? Seems like some setting needs to be set otherwise I would think this issue would have been taken care of a long time ago by apple?

  • Having problems with Facebook on my ipad2. Updated operating system. Problem started before that and continues. Can't click on like or make comments. Sent email to Facebook. Their response was that they don't answer individual emails but read them. Sigh!

    Stated above, I have issues with Facebook and my iPad 2. I have updated the operating system, but the problem started before that. Can't click on like or enter comments. Problem started about a week ago. Sent email to Facebook and they responded that they don't answer individual emails but read them. Lots help that was.

    Facebook is basically broken, at least as far as it pertains to mobile browsers. THey changed something in their coding and now mobile browsers don't work with facebook. ANd their app, well their app has been less than stellar for a long time.
    Unfortunately, it's up to facebook to fix things, not apple. All you can do is find work arounds. Look for third party apps, I have one called Facely HD which seems to work reasonably well (even though it does seem to not see all posts). There may be others that work better. You can also simply not access facebook on your mobile until they fix it.
    It's all on them and users can only be patient or find other ways to work around it.

  • Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

    Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
    I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
    I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
    So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
    However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
    I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
    I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos  look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
    Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
    Regards
    Susan 

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Facebook, Twitter and Flickr sharing option removal

    Good morning,
    I just bought a brand new Iphone 5S with Ios 7.05 on board.
    I have seen that when you click share on something (like a photos) you have the option to share with social application like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.
    Now I don't have these app installed and I don't have any account with them.
    How I can remove the sharing option?
    Thanks
    Regards

    Thanks for the answer.
    I think is not very fair to link external application like this.
    An Os generally speaking should be free of external application, or at least, the user should be able to delete them and their presence.
    I am not also really sure that this is compliant with some laws in some countries. I remember Google had similar issue with some application on their phone.
    Anyway this is only to share ideas, I guess I will take your suggestion :-)
    Regards
