Aperture a "PRO" app ?

I've used Aperture 2 for quite some time to manage a simple library with both personal photos and a few jobs. I started looking for another solution once my business got bigger.
The problem is, managing a library isn't really a feature provided by other pro apps, like Capture One for example.
I recently wanted to try Aperture again in a more manually managed way. As I would do in the finder directly with a personal way of managing folders, just with extra Aperture features.
I still can't believe how unsafe this app is. (just for the facts, during import I selected "store files in their current location") During the process of testing, I wanted to delete all projects from APERTURE ONLY. I expected at least a notice from Aperture asking me if I wanted to move the files to the trash or to keep them in their original folders.
Not only did it not do that, and that all my files where one click away from being forever deleted, but it placed ALL images into the trash without the original hierarchy, discarding all folders. Needless to say, at this point CMD+Z doesn't have any effect.
Luckily for me, I have everything backed up all the time. So I won't spend a whole month reorganizing my files.
Now Apple, did I miss something here ? I hope so.

If you delete a project in Aperture 3 it goes in the app's Trash with everything intact: folders, albums, whatever. I just did it on a test project just to make sure. If you then go into the Trash you can right-click and select Put Back, which does exactly what it says.
If you choose to do a permanent deletion you get a message telling you what's going to happen. If you put an album in the Trash it even tells you no actual files will be deleted (because it's an album which never contains originals). Where's the "unsafe" part?
And please don't take this the wrong way but if you're a "PRO" and you decide to delete all your projects you should really know what you're doing. You should know how Aperture works both in its hierarchy and in its relationship to referenced or managed files.
What were you trying to accomplish exactly?

    Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
    You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

  • Aperture Integration in Other Pro Apps

    I would seriously consider buying FinalCut and more Pro Apps in case they would allow browsing the Aperture Library just as you do with iMovie and iPhoto Lib.
    The thing is once I started using Aperture, my iPhoto Lib is empty and I hate switching Apps to export the desired shots for the video Apps.
    Has anybody some news about this or am I the only person interested in this "feature"? This would also allow me to get rid of the nice but bulky iApps (except iTunes, of course

    This is the first time I've seen this requested. Just so your hopes don't raise too high (not that what I've seen matters a bit, just that I try to read a lot and I've not seen this request before).

  • Aperture 1 Uninstallation Woes (Software Update Pro Apps Stuff)

    A friend of mine had Aperture 1 installed on her computer for a while. She was not using it anymore and deleted it. The updates for Pro Apps kept coming up (no other pro apps on the computer). Tried deleting /Library/... and ~/Library/... stuff pertaining to aperture. Didn't help. Tried deleting the .pkg's in /Library/Receipts ... Didn't help. What else needs to be removed? Or is the Pro Application Update 2006-02 useful for something else? Thanks all!

    The problem was, I had moved the Aperture 1.0 application into a new folder (it is placed by default at the top level of the APplications folder), and it seems that the 1.5.2 update installer doesn't recognize it in other locations.
    So, when I moved it backt out of the new folder into the Application folder again, everything worked just fine.

  • Aperture no longer a Pro App?

    A colleague of mine purchased Aperture for use at our company. He is a graphic designer in charge of producing marketing material. When Aperture was more expensive, he could not get permission to purchase the software. However the new price reduction took away that barrier and so he bought Aperture from the App store. BIG Mistake! Too late did he realize that the Terms of Use for the App store allow NO commercial use of the software. So Aperture cannot be used by him since it is for commercial use. Now he is in serious trouble for wasting money. At least it is not the original price.
    Potential Aperture users should be aware that no professional use is allowed if you buy from the App store.

    This looks pretty conclusive to me. Yes you can download apps from the MAS for commercial use!
    Would you agree?

  • Aperture identifying  Pro 1 RAW Adobe 1998 when it's sRGB

    I'm having trouble with my Canon Pro 1. I'm shooting in RAW in the "standard" sRGB workspace (there's an option for Adobe 1998). However, Aperture labels the photos as Adobe 1998. The Preview application also reads the file to be Adobe 1998 (get info while in Preview). One curious thing I noticed, is that when the menus are setup for Finder to show a preview of a photo, it appears that OS X is using the correct color space (or a different one at least). I am importing directly into Aperture from a card reader.
    Because I was curious, I checked to see if there was a problem when shooting in JPEG mode. Aperture identifies the color space correctly. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? I'm using Aperture 1.0

    Okay, I understand that Aperture is using its own
    special color space that is wider than Adobe 1998 or
    sRGB. But, I guess my question is, will Aperture's
    color space display two identical pictres (albeit
    different color spaces) as the same even if one is
    Adobe 1998 and the other sRGB? Because if not, I
    think there'd be a problem since the color would not
    remain constant when I finally export it as sRGB.
    No, although since the AdobeRGB space holds a greater range of colors it may look a little richer.
    Also, if you are talking about RAW files it will not matter since any colorspace you include in a RAW file is just a "hint" to an application that is reading that RAW files what color space is preferred after conversion.
    Also I noticed this: When Finder shows a preivew of
    the file, it seems that it's using a different color
    space than that of Aperture or Preview.app because
    the tonality is slightly cooler. The image that the
    OS shows is, I think, the same as that when Preview
    converts the "adobe 1998" file to its true sRGB. So
    I'm guessing that the OS's interpretation is right.
    Why is there an inconsistencey between the
    applications and the Finder/OS?
    The image Finder shows is generally from the thumbnail created by the camera itself. So it's slightly different just because the OS X conversion is a little different than the in-camera conversion. It has nothing to do with the colorspace.

  • Problems after updating to last Pro Apps version

    Hi.
    I have installed recently the last Pro Apps update and after that no one of the Final Cut Studio applications open.
    I heard a long ago that it happened when you have a "pirate" serial number, but I've got a legal copy with a valid sn, so is not related to that.
    I have tried to remove the Final Cut Studio System ID for FCP to ask me for the serial number again, but it doesn't work.
    I have tried to remove all the files from FCP ( including all on user's preferences and on hard disk's Library folder ) and reinstall the application, but it doesn't work.
    What else I can do? I don't want to reinstall the whole system because there's something wrong at the last Pro Apps update.
    Thanks in advance.

    The new system 10.4.10 update has been a big hassle for me and nothing but trouble. This started with a couple of severe system crashes, the computer would not restart until I disconnected all peripherals. I then discovered that there were problems with Aperture crashes when I did some research on MacFixit to find out what had happened with my computer.
    I then decided to try to see if Aperture would open, and sure enough, it crashed, along with all the other Pro Apps. So, again, I did some research and found the following information at Mac OS Hints. I am actually on a Power PC, not an Intel Mac.
    http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-55278.html
    SOLUTION:
    The solution to this problem (snip), is to get the Universal version of ProKit.Framework (v3.1.1) either from your Intel-based Tiger install DVD (via pacifist [Google it]) that came with your Intel-mac, OR download it from the following URL:
    http://www1.chapman.edu/~wayla100/ProKit.zip
    BE SURE TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS AFTER REPLACING/INSTALLING THE ProApp.Framework file into /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    I unzipped the file, and took the offending folder out of the PrivateFrameworks Library and then replaced it with the equivalent folder which I had unzipped. After having repaired permissions as instructed, I have launched Aperture, and then I opened the Aperture Library file, and it is now reloading all my pictures.
    I assume that this procedure has corrected the issue with all the other Pro Apps.
    I hope this is as much use to you as it was to me.

  • I bought Aperture from the App store & now it wants to charge me again.

    I bought Aperture from the App store 2 years ago. I have now bought a Macbook pro but when I go back to the App store it wants to charge me £53 again. According to the rules I'm supposed to be able to use it on more than one machine. Any advice?

    From the Mac App Store, click on the Purchases tab at the top, sign into the account that you used to purchase Aperture, then it should show up as available to download.

  • MacBook and Pro Apps

    I am considering the purchase of one of the brand new MacBooks that were released today and I am wondering if Pro Apps like Aperture and Final Cut run well on the MacBook? Is the Intel Graphics card alright to run those programs? How about Photoshop and Flash?
    Also, I would like to know someones thoughts on the MacBook display. Is it nice and bright? Clear?
    I have also heard that the MacBook gets noisy when viewing sites such as youtube or other flash sites? Is this true?

    Aperture 1.5 ran very well on my 2.0GHz Core Duo MacBook while I was using it. In the end, I was forced to move my 57GB Aperture library to my iMac, I couldn't afford the hard drive space on my portable. It should run just fine on one of the new MacBooks. Neither Color nor Motion will run at all on the MacBooks. They require a different video card. While DVD Studio Pro, SoundTrack Pro and Final Cut Pro will run on a MacBook, keep in mind that Apple does not support it. You won't be able to go to them for any technical help and the folks here might not be able to offer suggestions since they're not experienced with the same hardware.

  • Installing PowerPC Pro Apps on an Intel-based computer

    I just installed the PowerPC version of Compressor 2 on a MacBook Pro and it works. I also installed Logic Pro 7 on the same and it works. How is this possible? I thought Pro Apps didn't run on the new platform? Or have I just killed my new machine?

    I understand that and meant I haven't seen an increase in speed because I am still running PPC apps over Rosetta. It still seems odd to me that Pro Apps can run on Rosetta after all Apple said to the contrary. I'm still using Aperture 1.0.1 on my MacBook Pro and it behaves no differently (as far as I can see) than an Intel app like Final Cut Pro 5.1

  • Pro App Upgrade to iWeb

    I love iWeb and how it works with the iLife suite.
    However, I also realize I'm greatly boxed-in with iWeb.
    I'd like to know if Apple or someone else has a Pro App of iWeb.
    Just as iPhoto has its Aperture.
    Just as iMovie has its Final Cut Express.
    *Is there a Pro App compliment to the entry level iWeb?*

    You can do most of this with iWeb. Its all a question of how you organize your site and how you set up your file export system.
    Divide your site into sub sites built on separate domain files and use an application to optimize and upload only the changed files using smart handling like...

  • Purchased Aperture 3 pre-app store, doesn't register as 'purchased'???

    I bought a new laptop and am trying to install Aperture 3.5, but I originally bought Aperture 3 before the advent of the App Store.
    Now, there is not even an option to download the trial version (I have the activation code/SN).
    What do I do? I will switch to Lightroom if Apple won't let me download without buying another copy... Very frustrating reward after just dropping $3k on a new MBP.
    Thanks for any help.

    Apple stated that it "should be showing up", although it wasn't. Apple did fix this problem by updating my account to reflect that I own the current version of Aperture (3). This is a pro app, I use it professionally, and it was the right thing for them to do.
    Clearly, Duh•veed has some kind of latent axe to grind over an old issue with other software, with regard to other apps or something. Whatever. I don't know what his problem is, but thankfully Apple handled it much more gracefully.
    In sum, if you have this problem, you will need to provide proof that you own Aperture. I provided screen shots of my email receipt with name and S/N, my 'About Aperture' window with my name and S/N, and a clear request.
    This was their reply:
    Hello Sarge,
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    Please be advised that when you first open the Mac App Store in OS X Mavericks, it will check to see if you have a DVD-installed or bundled version of these Apple apps:
       •  Aperture 3.x
       •  iMovie ’11
       •  iPhoto ’11
       •  Keynote ’09
       •  Numbers ’09
       •  Pages ’09
    If the apps are found, they'll be listed with any other available Mac App Store updates, and you’ll be prompted for your iTunes Store password before they download.
    If you don't see any of the apps, go to the App Store toolbar. Under the tab Updates, choose Update All.
    If your computer came pre-installed with the Apple Apps, you’ll need to accept the software before you can install the available updates:
    1. From the App Store toolbar, click Purchases.
    2. Next, in the Apps to Accept area, click Accept.
    If you don’t see the Accept button or you’re receiving an error, reply with this information:
    1. Your computer’s serial number
    2. The names of the Apps you are trying to accept
    3. If you received an error message when trying to accept the apps, the full text of the error message.
    Thanks in advance for your patience while we work together to resolve this issue. Have a good day!

    I tried the Aperature trial and liked it, but did not purchase it when the trial ended. A few weeks later, i purchased snow lepord and purchased aperture via the app store. I have had not been able to use it since. Each time i open it , afer a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death and Aperture is frozen. I have to force quit Aperture to shot down mycomputer. I have re-installed Aperture 3 times with th e same result. I have iphoto on my computer as well is this causing the problem? I want my money back!!! Can anyone help?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you're using the Printer Pro app, you're not going to use AirPrint services.
    They are not the same thing.
    Are you using the 'Open In' option to get the email into Printer Pro for printing?
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/printer-pro/id393313223?mt=8
    Once installed, Printer Pro appears in the "Open In..." list on your device. This lets you print documents from Mail, Safari, ReaddleDocs and many other applications on your iPad that supports this function.
    Using "Open In..." approach you can print files from many popular online storages: Dropbox, MobileMe iDisk, GoogleDocs. It just a matter of several taps to download your file via free Dropbox, iDisk or Google Docs application and send it to printer.
