Aperture for iPhoto Users - free online seminar

Among the big questions that come up frequently on this forum (and others) is the how Aperture really differs from iPhoto.
To help get the questions answered, Apple just posted a free online seminar designed to help iPhoto users understand the key differences between Aperture and iPhoto -- and to show you the best ways of using the two applications together. Migrating images from one app to the other is covered in detail.
The seminar is available at:

Hope this is helpful for some of you.

Those were helpful clips. I think the short clips (the tips) could have been a little more informative about the differences, though. No mention of the lack of the Ken Burns effect in Aperture or that zooming in Aperture consists of either full size or zoom-to-fit versus the continuous zoom slider in iPhoto. I miss both of these iPhoto features.

Comparison for iPod Users: Free Online Converter & DVD to iPod Converter

Compare two channels of obtaining video sources for iPod: one is using online converter, the other is DVD to iPod Converter. After the general introduction of the two methods, I will analyze their advantages and disadvantages for you to choose according to your need.
Part One: Enjoy YouTube (online videos) on iPod
Instruction: a useful website to convert online video freely: http://www.vixy.net/
For vixy, you can just copy the URL of the online video into the âURLâ blank of the vixy, then choose the format you want to convert to. Click âStartâ. For a short time, the conversion will be finished. You can click the âDownload the converted videoâ to restore the file.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/vixy.jpg
Advantages: Free online video converter. No software to install. Only a few clicks you can get the converted file after a short while. The most important thing is that online video sources are numerous and original, so you can get the first-hand sources in time through it. Some personal DVs are also shared with you.
Disadvantages: They set limitation of the length and size of the video. The classical movies usually are not on line available. Even if existed, the quality of image and sound is inferiors.
Part Two: Enjoy DVD movies on iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPhone (3G), Apple TV
We usually bought classical DVD movies for collection or regular watching later, but DVD cannot be copied directly into iPod for us to appreciate it at anytime and anywhere. On this occasion, we need to convert DVD to the format, video and audio settings (Resolution, Bitrate, Frame Rate, etc) supported by your iPod player.
Instruction: the way to convert DVD to iPod: using Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter http://www.aiseesoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
Install and run Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter
http://www.aiseesoft.com/download/dvd-to-ipod-converter.exe
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/screen.gif
Step 1: Click âLoad DVDâ button to import your DVD
Step 2: Use âProfileâ drop-down list to choose your output format.
Step 3: Click âSettingsâ for setting your video parameters.
At last click âStartâ button to start your conversion.
More tips:
1. Merge into One File
If you want to merge the selected contents into one file you can check the "Merge into one file" option. As default the merged file is named after the first selected file (either a title or a chapter)
2. Movie Effect
You can set the brightness, contrast, saturation of the video and volume of the audio.
3. Trim Movie
It can help you to capture the segment of your movie.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-trim.jpg
4. Crop Video
You can remove black edge of your DVD movie and get any playing area of the video by using its "Crop Mode" function. You can also select "Zoom Mode" to extrude your video slightly to adjust to your portable devices so you can get the best video quality.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-crop.jpg
5. Take Snapshot
It allows you to capture your favorite pictures from your movie.
Advantages: In this way, you can make full use of your DVD: not only in DVD player, but your iPod player. The function of effecting and trimming allows you to clip the segment of the DVD movies complying with your will. You can enjoy more movies taking full advantage of your spare time while relaxing or traveling.
Disadvantages: DVD movies are usually popular, lacking of individualization. You can not share others' DVs.
With these two ways, we can enjoy the pleasure videos bring to us as much as we like. Have fun!

Depending on what update your iPod is, you may need
to dowload YAMB to make sure the videos play well on
your iPod. If you are watching a converted video on
your iPod and it freezes suddenly and this problem
continues, you need to download YAMB and convert the
files already converted with videora iPod converter
with YAMB, this will only take a few minutes.
I hope this helps you out.
Nope. All that a person with that problem should have to do is just update their iPod firmware to 1.1.1 with the newest updater, as that issue has been resolved in the latest firmware.

Aperture book for iPhoto user?

I've been running iPhoto for about 10 years, and the time has long been ripe for me to switch to Aperture. I'm currently running iPhoto 2009 on an OX 10.6 Mac Pro. I'd like to switch to Aperture on my Mac Pro, and given that I'm running 10.6 the latest version I can get looks like v3.2.
Can anyone recommend a good book for me to get up to speed in Aperture 3, given my iPhoto experience? I am a fairly advanced user, with a programming background.
John F
New York, NY
ps...
What I like in iPhoto 2009 that I want to keep:
Albums (with "folders" and "subfolders") scroll on the left-hand side. Below the albums list, in the same column, is the optional info box for the selected photo, with the rating, user comments, date taken, etc. To the right is the photo set for the selected album with resizable thumbnails. iPhoto 2011 inexplicably requires a WHOLE NEW COLUMN just to see comments, photo ranking, and other info for the selected photo which is a maddening waste of screen space.
What I want to get from Aperture:
Multiple home directories with a unified view: Right now, I have one giant 100Gb iPhoto directory with all of my photos in it. I'd like, instead, to have one directory per year, but have Aperture browse them all as if they were a single unit.
Portability of photo subsets: I'd then like the ability to copy just one of these directories to my laptop, and then be able work with that subdirectory in Aperture.

In addition to Kirby's introduction to the fundamental features of Aperture, a few notes on the transit from iPhoto to Aperture.
I also have been a long time iPhoto user and really like the added freedom and flexibility that Aperture brings. But one thing was not so nice - there is no easy transition from iPhoto to Aperture 3.2.4 or earlier, if you want to import your iPhoto libraries as libraries and maintain a lossless workflow.
I'm currently running iPhoto 2009 on an OX 10.6 Mac Pro. I'd like to switch to Aperture on my Mac Pro, and given that I'm running 10.6 the latest version I can get looks like v3.2.
Your transit to Aperture would be much smoother, if you could take the plunge and upgrade to MacOS X 10.7.5 and migrate from iPhoto 9.3.x to Aperture 3.4 .
The big difference would be, that you could open any iPhoto Library in Aperture and vica versa and could profit from the representation of images and versions as pairs of original master files and virtual versions. In the iPhoto version you are now running, each edited image is stored twice or more. Each edited verssion will create an new copy of the image file in your iPhoto library. Aperture has always stored only the orginal master and a description of the list of adjustments to render the edited version from the original. You do not duplicate the amount of storage required, when you edit an image, like in the earlier versions of iPhoto? Have you ever been tempted to use iPhoto Diet? With Aperture you can forget such worries.
If you import your iPhoto '09 library to Aperture, there will be no help but to import each photo twice - the original and the edited version and it will be a waste of diskspace compared to the import in Aperture 3.4 and a lot of work to group these duplicates and to decide what to do about them - redo the edits in Aperture and discard the edited iPhoto version, or what?
So, if you can, do this from a Lion or Mt.Lion system, if you already have a large iPhoto Library.
Your wish list:
iPhoto 2011 inexplicably requires a WHOLE NEW COLUMN just to see comments, photo ranking, and other info for the selected photo which is a maddening waste of screen space.
In Aperture you have many ways to view the Metadata - hovering HUDs, tabs, overlays on the images; all is highly customizable.
Multiple home directories with a unified view: Right now, I have one giant 100Gb iPhoto directory with all of my photos in it. I'd like, instead, to have one directory per year, but have Aperture browse them all as if they were a single unit.
No way. If you want Aperture to browse your photo libraries as if they were a single unit, it has to be one library. But you have more advanced tools in Aperture to structure your Aperture library than in iPhoto, and Aperture supports huge, distributed Aperture libraries. It works well - my main Aperture library holds all photos I have ever taken plus some more. See Kirby's explanation above.
Portability of photo subsets: I'd then like the ability to copy just one of these directories to my laptop, and then be able work with that subdirectory in Aperture.
Kirby already explained that. It is easily done by exporting partial libraries and reimporting.

Aperture over iPhoto - Is it worth the money?

I'm sick to death of iPhoto as I now have over 4 different libraries on different hard drives (due to using a laptop and not having enough space, also a recent change in computer), I never know which on is opening and when and it is next to impossible to browse in finder, due to the library not opening as a folder, like iTunes does.
On top of this I went looking for a photo recently and it appears to have disappeared, despite 90% of rest of reel, still there & backed up. I fear the same has happened to another photo as I await one of my iPhoto libraries (which until now I presumed was the master), to upgrade it's software.
I know the whole non-destructive editing means more file on your computer, but don;t understand how itunes can deal with multiple hard drives and iphoto can't (leave a blank thumbnail on the index page if not available at that time, don;t set up a new library)(Rant over!)
I want somewhere, that I can easily and efficiently store my photos in one place so that I don't have to spend 20-40mins trying to find photos when I want them.
Is Aperture worth the €199 and does it solve these issues? Also does it integrate with Photoshop, or will I need to do that manually.
I'm tempted to delete iphoto and just use the finder.

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Iphoto can do what you want, if you take a few moments to set it up.
I want somewhere, that I can easily and efficiently store my photos in one place so that I don't have to spend 20-40mins trying to find photos when I want them.
Get a HD that's large enough for your Photos. Merge your iPhoto Libraries into one and then... you're set.
iTunes doesn't edit. Iphoto (and Aperture) do. That's a rather large difference right there.
Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto, yes it does integrate with Photoshop, in a broadly similar way to iPhoto. But I'm concerned that if you find iPhoto frustrating hen you may have bigger issues with Aperture.
on different hard drives (due to using a laptop and not having enough space, also a recent change in computer), I never know which on is opening and when and it is next to impossible to browse in finder,
For instance, you can easily set Aperture to run a Referenced Library (where you decide where the files are stored) (and you an do that easily with iPhoto too), but that's of no use to you if you want email or upload the +edited shots you make+. They can't be accessed via the Finder either. (because there is not edited file in Aperture!)
Here's a handy guide I make for iPhoto users to access their files. Almost all of these work for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
O, and by the way, Aperture is much less that €199 on the App store. I recall it's about €70 or thereabouts.
You can download a trial from the Aperture pages on the Apple Site, too

Compare Aperature 3 for iPhoto vs: Aperature 3 standalone

I want to purchase Aperature3 as a new user. I see Aperature3 for iPhoto on Mac Aps store for $79 vs $199 for the standalone.
Are they the same product or is stuff left out of one of them?

The product is Aperture. The current version is 3.2.2.
There is no "Aperture for iPhoto". iPhoto is a different program.
There is no substantial difference between the boxed version and the App Store version. Get the App Store version.

Used iPod for iPhoto, but iPhoto now shows "exclamation point" icons

Hello..
I was using my iPod as an external drive for my iPhoto (21gb of photos).. I un-pluged my iPod by mistake (thinking I ejected my camera after a download) and I was hit with a
"device removal
the device you removed was not properly put away.
data might have been lost or damaged."
It said more, but you get the picture.. Now, I've done this by mistake in the past with no trouble, but when I re-opened iPhoto, all of my pics were gone and replaced with a "!" icon.
Is it possible to get my photos back, or am I out of luck??
HELP!

I moved the iPhoto icon from my laptop to my iPod
"iPhoto icon"? Is that the +iPhoto Library+ file inside your Pictures folder? Did you erase the original copy of the library file from your internal hard drive? And the only copy is on your iPod?
This is not really related to using an iPod (as an iPod). If I understand your description, you were using the iPod in the same way as you would an external hard drive. Except that an iPod is a pretty risky storage device on which to store the only copy of anything; you can lose it, break it, or have data corruption on the iPod's hard drive, because an iPod is something that you carry around (and connect and disconnect from your computer all the time).
So hopefully, you have a backup of that +iPhoto Library+ file.
Also, since this in not specifically about using an iPod, you may want to post your question as a topic in the category for iPhoto users.
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=143

Is it possible for one user to use Aperture and another iPhoto?

I have a new imac 21.5", 3.33ghz, 4gb and I was wondering if it is possible for me as admin user to handle camera downloads automatically with Aperture, and my wife as second user to use iPhoto as automatic camera destination? Any comments would be appreciated.

If you want to use the same account there are a number of possibilities:
1. Set both Aperture and iPhoto to Do Nothing when a camera is connected. Then each one can launch their preferred app themselves. It's just one extra click.
2. Use [Cameras|http://www.flexibits.com> to configure what happens when different cameras are connected.

Hi,
Tuxedo is unable to make any HTTPS calls other than SOAP/HTTPS. So if you are using web services, then SALT can perform SOAP/HTTPS calls, although I don't believe we support the message signing feature of WS-Security (although you might want to check the SALT 10gR3 or later documentation.)
We are considering adding support for HTTP/HTTPS directly in Tuxedo, but that feature is not available in any current version of Tuxedo. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Todd Little

PS It would have been better to start a new thread for this question. :-)

I entered Iphoto for my user and only photo up until 2012 were in the library. I thought the restore would do the incremental Time Machine backups too.....
