Aperture and the Epson 3800

When I print from Aperture to my Epson 3800 all the dimensions in the print dialog are in metric. How do I change them to inches? Many thanks, Roger

Use Preferences - international - change from metric to US

TC 1tb and Wireless Epson 3800

Apologize if this is a recurring topic, I searched the board but was unable to find an answer...
I recently installed a TC without any problems. Backing up two macbook pro's. But I am having a devil of a time connecting an Epson 3800. I followed the instructions found on the forum, but it does not see the printer.
Appreciate any assistance.
Best regards,

Hello wallyr8. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:

Aperture and the Retna Display

I have not been here for a while, so this has most likely already been discussed. If so, please disregard my post.
I was in an Apple store the other day and finally got a chance to look at the new MacBook Pro Retna (MBPR).
So the MBPR has really high resolution. (total number of pixels) In the default (or recommended) display settings (System Preferences) the UI shows text in what I would call a large, sharp mode. It uses all the extra pixels to make the text sharper, not really small. I assumed applications like Aperture would use all the pixels when it displayed photos. However, that didn't seem to be the case.
In Aperture, I double clicked a photo to view a single photo. I then clicked on the 100% icon. In this mode, I expect to see a one to one relationship between the pixels in the photo and the pixels in on the display. There should be no scaling.
I compared this (side by side) with another MBPR where the display settings were set to most pixels. (I forgot what it's actually called) In this mode, the text is much smaller. So you can see more of the UI. It's smaller and a little harder to see, but you can see more. I then took the same photo and clicked the 100% icon. This time, I got a different result.
I expected the 100% view to show the exact same way on both computers, regardless of the display settings in System Preferences. I expected those settings to affect the UI, not viewing photos at 100%.
In the default mode Aperture zoomed in more of the photo, so I saw less of it.
In the "more pixels" it was less zoomed in, so I saw more of the photo.
The default mode was not 100%, because given the size of the photo (around 3,000 pixels wide) it was too zoomed in. The "more pixels" mode seemed closer to 100%, but I don't think the math was working out right, since it seemed to show the full width of the photo and the MBPR is less than 3000 pixels wide.
No one at the Apple store could explain it to me.
Can someone with a MBPR explain it to me?

The link to the AnandTech site provided a good (the answer) explanation.
System Preferences in Default Mode: UI scales 4X and Aperture scales photos at 1X. So, in this mode when you click on the zoom viewer button, the image is scaled 1x, so it's a 1 for 1 pixel representation.
System Preferences in More Space Mode: Text is scaled at 2X (so your text and UI elements are smaller). However, Aperture no longer scales the image at 1X. It is scaling it down to fit.
This explanation seems to fit what I saw at the Apple store.
I would have thought that the System Preferences would only affect text and UI elements, not things like photos and videos, at least when viewed at 100% zoom.
I'm not sure I understand why Apple would change the 100% viewing of images/videos. I would think that should stay constant. Especally give the fact that the System Preferences settings no longer changes the displays resolution. Now it's changing the scaling factor, which I think should only affect text and UI.
But, that's just my opinion. Either way, Keith you have provided the answer to my question.

HT5132 Aperture and the end of MobileMe

I have no MobileMe albums,
I switched to iCloud and still everytime time Aperture bothers me with "MobileMe has been discontinued" with a choice between "learn more" OR "ok".
OK hangs Aperture.
Found the answer in the "Preferences", "Web"

You should have added the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the MobileMe feed while you had the chance. As this is no longer possible, your only option is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to transfer iTunes' attentions to the new feed. Give them the iTunes Store URL, and the URLs of both feeds. I can't guarantee they will do this, but they have for others. Unfortunately your existing subscribers won't be notified of the change (as they would have silently been with the redirection tag) so for them it will just stop working.

Aperture and the new Mac Mini

I actually wonder if this new mac Mini could handle Aperture:
I currently have an iMac G5 2.1GHz and 128MB video card, with a firewire 400 external drive.
If I switch for the Mini with the 800 firewire connectivity and, say, the 256 MB shared graphics video , would I get an much better reactivity and speed ?

At the moment, the Aperture product page does not explicitly state that the software will run on the new mini with it's Nvidia integrated graphics system. It should, since while not highly recommended, it was capable of running on the Intel GMA950 of the prior model, but I think you'd need to check with the vendor (presumably Apple via phone or in-store) before purchase, just to be sure.
Assuming that it does run, you should find the system notably faster and more responsive than your current G5 iMac since the processor is a generation ahead in performance, and the system's bus speed etc are all faster. It would be wise to go for the highest RAM complement possible however, since that makes a considerable difference to operating speed as a whole.

Aperture and the OpenRAW initiative...

Hi,
Do any of you know where Apple is in terms of supporting the thoughts and ideas of the openRAW community?
Personally I would like to have my images and the work I do on them to survive the life-span of Aperture.
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

It is my gut feeling this OpenRAW thing will lose steam over time, and here's why. The consortium is calling for an agreed upon standard file format for RAW--something which in theory may seem like a good idea, but who would....
- develop said format
- update said format with each new camera release
and the biggie...
- who would OWN the rights to the license for said format?
There is a lot on the line for whomever gets the nod (or fails to). Of the major manufacturers out there, Nikon is committed to their own proprietary NEF format, and have gone on record in the past as stating their stance on OpenRAW.
Companies like Canon, Hasselblad, and Phase One all have significant investments in R&D with regards to RAW formats, so I don't see any of them dropping their formats.
And the whole Adobe DNG initiative is a joke. C'mon, we already have to do one RAW conversion, why make photographers jump through yet another hoop to conform to a fledgling "open" standard which is tied too closely to a single corporation?

Airport Express and the Epson Stylus DX7400

Hello Experts!
I bought an Airport Express yesterday, and have successfully connected it to my home wireless network - I can see the Airport Express and modify settings wirelessly from my Mac (and indeed a PC as well). So far so good.
I have an Epson Stylus DX7400 printer/scanner. This prints perfectly when directly connected via the USB cable to the Mac (and a PC). Also good news.
However, when plugged into the Airport Express, it is simply not recognised in the Airport Utility and the Airport Utility shows "none" against USB printers where I presume it should show my printer in the list. I have upgraded to the latest firmwire, tried numerous re-boots and re-connections of both the Airport Express and the printer, but it simply does not seem to recognise that the printer is connected to the Airport Express.
Has anyone else has this problem? Is this printer incompatible with the Airport Express? I looked at this unofficial compatibility list (http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html) but the printer is not listed as either compatible or incompatible.
If anyone has in fact got this printer to work with the Airport Express, I'd be interested to know how you did it, please!
Many thanks,
Andy.

Are you able to confirm that this is a known issue with the standard printer driver, and that using your Gutenprint suggestion is a known fix for this problem with Airport Express?
Yes. Click here for more information.
If I'm installing Gutenprint on the Mac, and subject to your response on the questions above, will that somehow also help the PC?
No.
Finally, if you would be kind enough to note some brief instructions of the key steps involved in using Gutenprint to solve my problem, that would be much appreciated!

The Epson 3800 printing dark problem Windows XP and 7

CS-4 on a dual boot machine that used to have an Epson 2200 (it died) connected that didn't have the problem with some of the same files.
Like many, I am having the "prints too dark problem. Does the European driver v. 6.61 September 3, 2009 (US driver is 6.50) solve the problem?
The copy the layer and set blending option to screen helps a bit.
Drop down to 8-bit color and lighten via Variations helps a bit.
Would transfering the files to another computer and printing through CS original or the version before that help?
I am following, step by step the manual, setting. Proof colors set to the paper, Driver shows proper paper. Driver color management turned off with Photoshop manageing the color, etc.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you and have a happy Thanksgiving.
Bill

Cured.
Uninstalled "latest and greatest" driver.
Reinstalled the older one on the included CD.
As I use Prophoto color space, now make sure that the gamma=1 in the driver settings.
Problem cured.

Aperture and the ipad

I am new to ipad, but I imagine there must be something other than photoshop express to organize and manipulate photos. Do you have any suggesstions? I would love to use Aperture, or even iphoto!
Thanks,
BBT

This probably won't happen until the iPad gets ios 4, when the APIs open up. Until then the database isn't open to third parties for organization. Hopefully we'll have a way to import while shooting (maybe even tethered control) and be able to select, give ratings, crop and export. I'm not so concerned about editing raw on the iPad, and I doubt it can handle it. I just want to be albe to review with a client on a shoot and easily email or ftp jpeg versions after a shoot.
Hope hope, fingers crossed.
Right now it's ok, just to be able to import and review after a shoot. But it just seems there are other possibilities that would just require proper access to the database.

Aperture and the Canon 50D

I recently purchased a Canon 50D and aperture does not process the images. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to wait for Aperture it update to the new camera?

The RAW update for the Canon 50d is available now: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/digitalcamerarawcompatibility23.html?sr=h otnews?sr=hotnews.rss

Aperture and the new iPhoto 08 books???

It doesn't seem like you can order the new books introduced with iPhoto 08, that kinda su.ks! The 1.5.4 update does not add the new books which look way cool. This is really sad

Hu? I don't know what to say to that.
= ]
It works! To answer your original question. under the file menu in the new iPhoto you can access your Aperture files! JOY just drag them into the book icon and it will import the photo and add it to your book project. It would be nice if it didn't take the extra step, but I have the feeling as I said in the above post that the new books not being in aperture is temporary.

Aperture and the MB

My installer is telling me that my MB (1g ram) doesn't meet the hardware specs needed. Whats the prob? Can I get it to run? Thanks J

Oh and for the record Apple *does not* support the use of Aperture on a Macbook so mac technicians will not likely help you. That doesn't mean people haven't installed it and gotten it to run.

Aperture and the orton effect

is the orton effect possible with aperture?
if so, how do you do it?
thanks!

As the others have mentioned, that's a task that's much better suited to Photoshop which is designed to do that kind of thing. Aperture's job isn't to do that kind of work really, but it does form part of your digital workflow, in which you can import images, export them to a third party editor (photoshop) edit them there, and manage the edit within Aperture, along with the original source images.

Aperture and the media library

Hi,
Since I've upgraded to Aperture 3.0, iTunes can no longer see my Aperture library. Is there something I should know or we are waiting for an iTunes update?
In Aperture I regenerated the previews for all the pictures, but no help there. I can see that in the media section of an open dialog, I can no longer see my Aperture pictures, just iPhoto library is there.
Thanks

Lightroom 3, Epson R2400 and the dreaded magenta cast

A customer called me to say her printer was broken and nothing she could do would make her Epson R2400 print accurately from Lightroom on her iMac running Snow Leopard. I visited expecting to have to sort out a double profiling issue or a clogged printer.
However, this was not the case. A nozzle check revealed very mild clogging on the light cyan cartridge but nothing too bad and it cleared quickly. Checking the print settings in Lightroom and the Epson driver settings suggested that there wasn't a problem there either - colour managed by a profile in Lightroom with printer colour management turned off. A couple of test prints resulted in images with a definite over-all magenta cast. Plodding through threads on this forum and others came up with all the usual profile issues which I reckoned were not applicable in this case. Still, I downloaded and reinstalled the Epson driver and also the icc profiles for the papers being used, in this instance those supplied by Permajet, in case there was some corruption. The problem persisted.
Now there are a lot of speculative solutions out on the web, some of them involving tweaks to the OS, others recommending monitor profiling (not the problem here) and some suggeting the use of elaborate presets to distort the colours to a printable result. None of these seemed useful - the screen colour was fine and the histograms weren't unbalanced in a magenta direction. It should just work.
Then I wondered about the little 16 Bit checkbox. What if I ticked that? Result - PERFECT. Lovely colour immediately. Now, I'm not sure why printing in 16 Bit should sort out the magenta cast in this case but it does. There is a general opinion, even in books such as that by Martin Evening, that 16 Bit is an interesting option but not vital. In the case outlined here it is vital.
So, if you are having magenta cast problems try ticking the 16 Bit box. It may just save your last clumps of hair from being torn out.

I wouldn't argue with you re the R2400 and its capabilities as it isn't mine and I didn't have any of its literature while trying to get to the bottom of the problem. The profiles I tried were Epson's own and a Permajet one from their website. Both produced magenta results until 16 Bit was turned on, or at least that seemed the trigger for the better results. Unexpected, I agree.
