Aperture 3 won't export from "Faces"!?!

Hi Guys,
I 99.9% sure this is a simple fix problem.
I have tagged someone in several hundred photos and now I want to export all those photos in one go. I go to
Library > Faces > Alex > Select All > Shift-cmd E
Nothing happens!
I get no warnings, no processing messages no error messages.
When I go to Library > Photos > The first photo > Shift-cmd E I get the export wizzard as normal.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't know why your approach does not work - but as a work around:
For me worked the following:
Create a smart album
    add a rule: face contains   "the name of your friend"
    then select all pictures in your smart album
and export them
I tried it in Aperture 3.1.3 and it worked fine

  • Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

    Hi all
    Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
    Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
    I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
    Cheers,

    Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
    Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

  • Sharpness APERTURE vs iPHOTO~file exported from Aperture worse than iPhoto

    HEY.
    i'm recently using Aperture for my Photo Editing work.I found that everything Good and Perfect after fine tune and preview in the Window of Aperture...while Export it to the Jpeg (originaly image import from jpeg file) I found it's a bit loose from what i see in the Window Aperture...means,Loose the Sharpness...whole image getting un-sharp or s'ld i say added gausion blur of feel??
    Once i import it(the one exported from Aperture) into iPhoto and Export it (even down size to 800 of diamention) it became Sharp and nice colour tone while compare with the one which Export from Aperture!!!!
    Why?
    In the Export setting of Aperture i do set the Quality to max 12 and 300dpi even...
    Need your hand...thanks!!

    WARNING! The sharpness problem is occurring in iPhoto modifications as well! I'm running Tiger and Leopard at the same time on 2 different computers - SAME EXACT SHARPNESS problems. The problem is NOT the OS - it's in the APPLE Photo Aps!

  • Aperture cannot read RAW exported from IDC?

    When I shoot RAW with the kit lens of my nex6 it usually get distorted pretty bad. So what I'm trying to do is first open it up with Sony's image editor called IDC (latest version) and then export the RAW file from IDC then import that fixed file back into Aperture. However for some odd reason when Aperture imports a IDC exported file, not only is the distortion not fixed but the photo now has this weird green cast to it.
    How do I fix this? I've already tried regenerating previews, that doesn't help.

    TIFF would be the better call.  "Truly lossless" is difficult to say; changes are "baked in" to the RAW file on the conversion.
    Still, the PTlens plugin recommended in another thread is probably the better call:

  • IPhoto won't export from some folders.

    I'm trying to get all my previous iPhone photos sorted into year groups so that I can import them as Albums into my shiny new phone.
    In iPhoto I created five folders labelled by their year and pulled images into the respective folders.
    I dock my iPhone, and in iTunes I select the folders I want to import from, however, iTunes tells me that some of those folders are empty.
    I go back to iPhono and attempt to export from the suspect folders, and this cannot be done, either by File> Export, or by simply dragging nd dropping. The OK folders behave normally.
    Why do I see images in folders in iPhoto, but I'm unable to export them?
    Any clues welcome.

    In iPhoto, Folders cannot contain Photos. Albums and Events contain photos. Folders can only contain Albums or nested folders.
    So are you referring to Albums or Events?
    Anyway these photos won't sunc because iPhoto can't find them. In the case of the message you're getting it sounds like you Referenced them when importing.
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 

  • Aperture 3 won't export at all: images held hostage

    Complaining about Aperture 3 is almost pointless now with the mess the program is obviously in, but I encountered a rather distressing problem I hadn't seen reported yet.
    I can't export anything. All of my photos are locked into Aperture. If I select any export option (say, Jpeg 50%) Aperture will start exporting it and never finish. It will sit there for hours if I let it. The file will never export. Activity viewer just shows Aperture attempting to export the image and never finishing. Basically, it's holding my images hostage.
    The crashing and hangups I can deal with (for now), but if I can't export a photo the program is literally useless to me. If anybody knows a way to fix this issue, please help.
    Message was edited by: Padriac

    I have now solved my problem, and it only cost me a day :-|
    I had a few corrupted master files. Aperture was running a task to process a lot of pictures, and whenever it was reaching such a corrupted file, the task would hang, and it would not be possible to start other tasks like exporting pictures.
    That rebuilding the library helped temporarily was just because after a rebuild Aperture would spend some time updating Places information, before it would start the processing task that would then eventually hang.
    I identified and deleted the corrupted pictures, which solved my problem. Finding the pictures was something that I had to do by hand, though.
    Since the problem is usually not with the pictures that one is working with at the moment, but with completely unrelated pictures, one possibility is to export the current project as a library and then work with just that library.
    So the problem was with corrupted files that I had in my library. Still I think that Aperture should handle a situation like this more gracefully. If a task hangs, it should be possible to learn which picture it is currently working on and to kill the task.

  • Aperture 3 won't import from Panasonic LX-5....

    When I connect it does nothing. It doesn't see the camera at all. Even if I try to force the import it still won't see the camera. Is there a problem with A3and this camera?

    I have been trying for 3 hours and finally it sees the images. iPhoto did not see the images either. I am not sure why it now sees the images, I did nothing different.

  • Photos in FCE; export from Aperture in target size?

    hi all.
    I'm planning to place photos from Aperture into my FCE project, with the photos fading from one to the next. they won't be full screen, less than half. to get the best final quality, do I need to sharpen and export from Aperture so that the photos are placed within the FCE project at 100% without scaling?
    cheers,

    Hi Frank.
    Thanks for the response.
    Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
    The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
    So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
    If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
    According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
    Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
    1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
    2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
    Thanks again,

  • How do I export from Aperture to iPhoto?

    Ok, I am very new at all of this, and find it quite confusing.
    I took several hundred raw photos and imported them into Aperture. I believe they are all in a 'project', the yellow box looking icon? Then, I created numerous folders inside this project, in which I carefully sorted all my photos by subject - about 18 folders. Then, I worked with each folder, fine tuning each image, and adding exif metadata, and rating each image. So far so good.
    Now, I want to bring all this images (as full size jpegs) into iPhoto.. this is where I am getting bogged down. There is an export function in Aperture, and an import function in iPhoto: which do I use?
    I have been experimenting with various scenarios, but nothing seems to be working the way I want.. specifically, to have all my images in iPhoto - IN THE SAME STRUCTURE as I have in Aperture. When I did manage to bring them into iPhoto, they all came over in one big massive event, leaving all my sorting and ratings behind. This can't be right.. I don't want to resort them all again, moving them into the appropriate folders. And I don't want to have to re-enter the exif metadata and ratings again.
    Can someone please help me with this?

    Export from Aperture and then import to iPhoto.
    Alternatively, you can share your Previews with iPhoto but that gets only the Preview.
    FWIW: your workflow makes no sense. It's like writing your novel in TextEdit then opening it in Word to Spell Check and then copying it back to TextEdit. Why not just write your novel in Word? Aperture is not an editor. It's a complete replacement for iPhoto. It will do everything that iPhoto does, and then more. Or if you want to stick with iPhoto, get an editor and use it as an external editor in that.

  • Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

    Ok.
    My workflow is
    RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
    Since ten I've trying different things
    1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
    2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
    What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
    Thank you

  • 'Unable to quarantine' when exporting from Aperture to a NAS

    I have scanned a lot of images as TIFF (approx 28.000), and they are on an External Drive, and I imported them into Aperture (3.3) as referenced files.
    Now I want to have a a more workable environment, because the TIFF's are 140 MB each.
    So the idea is:
    - Export from Aperture to a NAS drive
    - Create a new Aperture Library and import them (again as referenced files)
    The NAS is a WD MyBook Live Duo that is attached to my Time Machine.
    The current Aperture Library and the future Aperture Library will be on my iMac's HD.
    I just exported 405 images and in the log I see 405 times:
    1/3/13 9:29:34.000 PM kernel[0]: Aperture[54224] Unable to quarantine `/Volumes//Pictures/Modellen_Ref_Files/Mulder_Koosje/JHWA_9601M-25.jpg': 22 (error suppressed)
    (Time and filename differ ofcourse.)
    However all 405 images were indeed exported.
    I read the thread :
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20274081#20274081
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20294802#20294802
    from Steffen4712
    So before continuing with the rest of the 28.000 images I want to make sure that I will not run into problems.
    So can somebody explain to me or point me to a discussion so that I can try and understand what this Quarantine thing is trying to do?
    Thanks,
    Jan

    I managed to find a way to get things done without getting the error.
    Workflow from the start:
    - scanned negatives and stored them as TIFF files on an external HD
    - Started Aperture and imported them as referenced files
    - added keywords and adjustments
    I tried:
    - export them as JPG to a NAS drive
    This give the error "Unable to quarantine  22 (error suppressed)"
    I tried :
    - remove extra attribute from TIFF file on external HD (using xattr -c)
    - export them as JPG to a NAS drive
    This give the error "Unable to quarantine  22 (error suppressed)"
    I tried:
    - export them as JPG to my HD
    - remove extra attribute from JPG (using xattr -c)
    - switch to "new" Aperture Library and import them and choosing the NAS as place to store them
    This give the error "Unable to quarantine  22 (error suppressed)"
    I tried:
    - export them as JPG to my HD
    - remove extra attribute from JPG (using xattr -c)
    - using Finder and copy them to temporary folder on my NAS
    - open "new" Aperture Library and import them and choosing the NAS as place to store them (effectively relocating them)
    No errors were seen in the system.log
    Conlusion, apparently Aperture wants to quarantine them when moving them to the NAS and Finder does not.

  • Export from Aperture to edit in Windows Live Photo Gallery

    Hi.
    I'm hoping to work collaboratively with a colleague, in a scenario where I take & edit photos, then pass them over for a possible final touch up before being forwarded to clients.
    I use Mac OSX 10.6 and Aperture. He uses Windows Vista and Windows Live Photo Gallery.
    The problem we've come up against is this: he is unable to edit the image I've exported from Aperture. I'm exporting as .JPG, and he's able to read them ok - i.e. load it into Windows Live Photo Gallery, but not alter the image.
    Does anyone have a similar workflow, exporting from Aperture, then editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery?
    Thanks in advance,
    PB

  • Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

    Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
    When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

    Thanks Steve,
    We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

  • Aperture won't export : Retina MacBook Pro

    I've been struggling with getting all sorts of basic stuff to work on my supposedly top spec 15" Retina MacBook Pro, the latest is that it can't seem to export from  Aperture.  Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
    Has anyone else experienced this.  Obviously being a Pro App I'm going to be charged handsomly to talk to anyone at apple.
    Occasionally it can export a single image at a time, the export folder location takes ages to open.  Select multiple images and select "Exprt Versions" and absolutely nothing happens.  Export originals, and it crashes Aperture. I'm begining to wonder just how far you can throw a MacBook Pro.
    It really is the most disapointing Mac I have ever bought, lovely display, but if the computer behind it doesn't function its all a little pointless.
    Done the usual reboot, disk permissions etc.
    Thanks for any pointers
    Stephen

    Stephen,
    It is new (ish, about 90 days, and covered by Applecare) but calling Apple help - as I have previously - as soon as you mention it is Aperture they want to charge money - a lot of it and with no guarantee of results - to talk about any issues as it is a Pro App - pity it doesn't behave like one!
    Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
    I'd really let the Apple Store sort out the system and hardware issues, as long as your Applecare lasts.
    Make a backup of your system, best a bootable clone on an external drive (so you can easily revert back to your current state, or run your apps  by booting into the clone) and reinstall the system without any third party apps and without Aperture, only the basic set of applications.
    Then test your mail and Finder, and if issues remain, go back to AppleCare and present them with the proof, that it is the hardware and not the software.
    You may find, that it is not Aperture at all, that is causing the problem, but an incompatible plug-in, kernel extension, "helper" applications, duplicate fonts, problems in the Aperture library inherited from iPhoto, incompatible videos in the Aperture library, an unsuitable drive hosting your Aperture Library. Where is the library located, btw? On an external or internal drive?
