Aperture Export to Photoshop for PC and then Import Back to Aperture

Hi,
I need some advice: I have all my photos on Aperture 2. The person we hire to edit our photos works with Photoshop on Windows 7. What is the best approach so that I can export the aperture master files for him to enhance the pictures in Photoshop on his PC and then bring those edited photos back into our Aperture copy?
Thanks,
Aperture Learner

Your best bet (if you are making adjustments in Aperture prior to sending) will be to export as PSD, 8-bit (to allow all filter compatibility), in the color space requested by your Windows 7 contract person. Note - Windows 7 has it's own ideas on handling color, so color space in this case is important.
If you are sending RAW files, then the person using Photoshop on Windows 7 will probably be using Adobe Camera Raw to process the RAW data. There is an obvious difference in the RAW processing theory used by Adobe when compared to the Apple RAW processing theory. The default in Adobe Camera Raw is very 'flat' when compared to Apple's. Note - I have significant experience using PS on Windows 7 at work.
Basically, you will be receiving from the Windows 7 user a re-interpreted image file. If this is what you intend, then you need to decide whether you want to wait to import into Aperture until after receiving the files back from him / her. As Allan inferred, you won't be able to keep any keywords or adjustments made in Aperture if you send the Master files. The best you could do is import to a project with the original and then the final file done in PS on Win 7.
Another issue that may or may not matter to you, is that you will not be able to utilize any layers that you receive in the returned file unless you resend the original received (Windows 7) Master file. This is because Aperture flattens all exported files and internally created versions (one layer without transparency).

I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto. But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11. If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

Only by exporting.
The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book? Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased.
I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
Does anyone know what is going on with this thing??? I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
Thanks.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

In Aperture using the external photo editor Adobe photoshop elements 10 editor. My photo will not come back to aperture unless the photo is saved on the desktop and then imported back to Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor as external editor in Aperture. The issue is once i make the changes in Photoshop it request that I save (use tiff) and the photo is not update in Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Marianne,
how do you save? Photoshop Elements can save either versions or overwrite the original file, afaik.
You need to set the save preferences, so that it will write to the original file and not write a version. Also the filename extension should be "tiff" and not the default "tif" (I think you did that already).

Exporting video from one machine and then importing into another not working...

Here is my situation:
I wanted to import some videoes into iMovie on my Mac (OSX Lion) that my wife shot on her iPhone 4S (ios 5.x). I first synched her photos and video with iTunes/iPhoto on her machine (OSX Snow Leopard), then exported them from iPhoto onto a thumb drive. Then I imported them into iPhoto on my machine.
The pics are fine. But the videos are not playing. iPhoto sees they are videos, but each one is like a still: there is no duration to the video when you hit the play arrow. They also will not play by clicking on them directly in a Finder window from the thumb drive. The are showing up (for example) as IMG_0133.mov, with the proper "Quicktime movie" in the "Kind" column, but each one is 1 to 1.5 MB or less, so something is up.
Anyone know what has happened? Perhaps they don't export correctly?

Yes, I do, and I will do that when I re-do the process tonight.
Do I need to (or is it advisable) to export the .mov files separately?
I admit I was in a hurry and never having done this before, I did not look closely at the options.

Can I export HR infotype text elements and then import them elsewhere?

I am attempting to extract PCL1 TX text elements from one SAP client and want to import them into another. Have any of you tried and succeeded at this?
I have had some, but not total success. I am actually creating the text element records in pcl1 using the 'export text-version wa_text to database pcl1(tx) id wa_text-i_key' command. The key matches exactly the key in the client I have copied the text elements from. There is also an 'X' in the infotype record in the itxex field, and the 'display text' button shows on the screen. However, when I select the 'display text' button from the PA20 or PA30 screen, all I get is a blank infotype text screen.
Any suggestions?
Edited by: Kathy Cunningham on May 12, 2011 10:42 PM

You might be missing the ptext parameter that contains the text. I found the below syntax that may help:
EXPORT
    text-version FROM version
    ptext        FROM IT_TEXT
TO DATABASE pcl1(TX) ID pskey
    FROM pcl1.
Upon further review, it does appear you may sending it, just not using the "from" syntax.

I then have to click on one of the other open files and then click back to the sheet I was working on for it to appear. Can any one tell me why?

Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Hi, How to export my Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere 8 Elements from my old PC to my new PC

Hi, How to export my Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere 8 Elements from my old PC to my new one - both are Windows 7???

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for reply.
I want to transfer/export/bring over images and videos to my new PC.
I have one licence (and disc) in my old PC for Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.
Separately I have one unused licence (disk) for Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10.
I also then need to understand the smartest and easiest approach to:
Either I export software 8.0 and images and videos from old to new PC
- Or
I install version 10 on the new PC and then transfer/export/bring over images and videos to my new PC.
Great if you are able to guide me in this.
Regards,

Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point. i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

I am using Indesign cs5 version 7.0.4 with a mac OS X version 10.9.4. I am having an issue where the save and save as option disappears. I am exporting the file as .idml and then resaving to avoid losing work but has to import all the images which takes ages. Any help out there?

I believe there are a couple of similar threads about CC or CC2014 behaving this way that might give yo some hints, but CS5 is not supported on your OS and may not run properly regardless of what you do. An in-place OS upgrade or an attempt to migrate the application would both be major problems for ID, so if you did either of those things you'll want to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks
