Aperture image-control compared with Photoshop?

I'm looking to get Aperture 2. I've been using iPhoto as a library, and Photoshop to control\doctor images. How does the Aperture image-control compare with Photoshop's? I'm not thinking so much here about fancy plug-ins, just basic, but subtle, color, contrast, cropping controls ... especially dealing with the highlights and shadows.
Any info from a user would be most appreciated,
Thanks,
Ben

Same problem here...
It started recently so I think some update create the problem.

Aperture images oversaturated compared, say, to DPP ...

Is there some default processing that happens in Aperture, or is there a default camera profile being used that I just can't find? Images are insanely saturated compared with same files rendered in Canon's Digital Photo Professional. Same behaviour on two machines (a little more pronounced on MacBook Pro vs McPro). Thanks; I tried to research this before posting!

Mostly jpegs (I've been trying to see if I can get away with jpegs with my new 5d), but I wish I could illustrate the difference between the way the two programs render the images on-screen. I was wondering if there it's a camera profile issue or a MacBook Pro issue (more pronounced there). Thanks for the help.

How to import a image and compare with another image to find their deviation

i am new to labview , can anyone tell how to import a image and compare it with another image to find their deviation
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is an quite easy task using the Vision Development Module.
There you can acquire images from cameras or read them form the harddrive, then differntiate them or since VDM 2010 calculate the optical flow between consecutive images.

Image printing problem with Photoshop and Lightroom specifically with 11X14 cuts off top of image and moves bottom border up. Windows 7 OS - Epson Printer is working properly.

Have an unprecedented problem with printing 11X14 photos in both PS and Lightroom. The printer is operataing properly. Printing 81/2X11 correctly. Have double and triple checked all the printing settings and they are correct. Have checked with friends to no avail. This problem started yesterday. Widows 7 OS. Need help.

You show the OS receiving an image from Photoshop, and the OS starting the Epson print driver and handing it part of the image, the driver connects to the printer, then the print driver fails. It looks like a bug in the Epson rasterizer, or the printer communication.
You really need to talk to Epson. Photoshop isn't involved in that error.

Colours look different in Elements compared with Photoshop Album

Hello All,
I have a bit of a problem with Elements 5.0. When I import a RAW file and save to jpeg (at the maximum image quality selection) I have the image exactly as I want it. However if I then double click the image from the folder where it is stored it opens in Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 and the colours of the image are much warmer with skin tones appearing more pink.
If I then open the same image back in Elements it appears all ok.
Has anyone else had this issue whereby Elements displays an image differently to other programs?
Help!!

In Safari How to open an Image with PhotoShop

Hi everyone.
I need your help, advise...
I have a html page with this tag:
Image
CFD is a Share
If I use Explorer when I click the link (using the File Helpers) the image is open with PhotoShop. I need the same functionality in Safari, is there a way to do that...?
Or how can I accomplish this task?
Thank you for your help.
jhpe.

Thanks for your response. I've just started with Javascript scripting in Photoshop so I'm still just a bit confused though .
The code you've provided will return the location on my computer of where the script resides, am I right? And since the script and the images are in the same folder, this should mean a relative address is obtainable?
How could I use this in connection with:
var fileRef = new File("image01.jpg");
var docRef = app.open(fileRef);
where image01,jpg is the image I'd like to open in the same folder as the script?
Thanks again for your help.

Weird behavior in opening Aperture images in Photoshop

I have found a lot of really weird behavior when opening Aperture images in an external editor (in my case, Photoshop, so I'll use PS to refer to it):
1) If the master image is opened in PS, a new version is created when the file is opened, not saved. So quitting PS without saving leaves you with a new version of the file, regardless of whether you actually saved any changes or not.
2) If a version (not the master) is opened in PS, a new version is not created, either on open, or on save. So in other words, changes to that version in PS when saved overwrite that version, and the previous condition of that version is lost (with respect to versioning).
3) If multiple versions of the same image are opened simultaneously in PS, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the difference between them in PS, except for visually (possibly meta-data, but I haven't checked that, nor would I want to be forced to). The file names of all versions are exactly the same.
I'm looking for feedback from anyone out there who can explain why this isn't completely quacky version control. I've been using version control almost my entire career (as a software programmer) and here's how I have seen almost invariably version control work:
1) New versions of files are always created upon commit, i.e. saving of the file, not on opening a file. (Do not confuse this with working copies, think about what is present in the repository).
2) Opening / editing any file version is never destructive. Any change to that file version that is saved (committed) results in a new version, not an overwrite to the same version.
Aperture's interface basically has combined what traditional version management has represented separately, that being the client and repository views of a project. They are showing all versions of a file simultaneously. This is fine, but I'm really not liking the fact that some changes create new versions, other changes overwrite versions, and one case, merely opening the file creates a new version, whether there are any changes saved or not. In addition, when working with multiple versions in the editor, the file name and/or interface doesn't give any indication of what version you are working with. Easy to say that's the fault of the external editor, but I disagree -- all external editors are going to work with filenames, so Aperture should produce a unique namespace for any file version so that any external tool will be able to distinguish (visually) one file from another.
Is this completely wacky version management, or is it just me?

Hi Bradley,
Due to the way I personally use Photoshop, I want Aperture to behave as it does.
That's because, with Photoshop, I use layers extensively. Any edits I do (levels, curves, saturation, sharpening) I do on layers. I can delete the layers at any time (or select to show or hide them). Because of this, I actually WANT Aperture to behave the way it does. Once I've done a bunch of edits in Photoshop, if I select again to edit that file in the external editor, I want to work on that specific file (to add another layer, or change one). I don't want another duplicate. I tinkered with this over the weekend, and it worked very nicely for me.
Perhaps you work differently from within Photoshop? Do you ever use layers? If I were to have a bunch of Photoshop "versions," each with 5 layers, I'd have like 5 GB of "versions" for my original 8 MB RAW file, due to the size of PSD files. Yuck

Looking for input on how Aperture rates when compared to Adobe Photoshop

Hi i am kind of new to Mac and have not bought any good photo editing programs yet i am looking for someone that has used both aperture and photoshop to help me make my decision on which one to buy. any input would help. thanks in advance

as RB said before, *you can't compare photoshop and aperture*. not in functionality and not in price.
actually: *you really need both*. there is no way around photoshop. most of your image processing can be done with aperture (or lightroom), however there will always be some photos that require the extra ps power, layers, etc... for retouching, blending etc.
compare:
you should compare +apple aperture with adobe lightroom+ for your image management and raw conversion - and - +photoshop cs3 with photoshop elements+ for image editing.
most here prefer aperture, however this is a question of personal preference. i have both on my machine, and while i like the improvements in adobe lightroom 2, i personally stick with aperture (i prefer the workflow and user interface of aperture).

Problem with editing Aperture photos with Photoshop Elements 10

When I try to edit with Photoshop Elements 10, Aperture makes a tiff file, starts Photoshop Elements 10 and get to a screen where I have a choice between "editing" or "managing" files. I select editing but when i finally get the editing screen there is no photo to edit. Process worked fine in Elements 9 and Aperture 3.1. Anybody been able to roundtrip with Aperture 3.2.1 and Photoshop Elements 10?

(Aperture 3 and PSE 10; Lion; using Referenced files in Aperture)
I tried Barbara's recommended method and PSE now opens with the image displayed and accepts edits. However, when I save the adjusted image, what I get in Aperture is a TIFF file of that name but with no edits displayed.
When I go to the directory in which the referenced files are located, the adjusted file exists and I can view it.
So, (at least as I have things configured), when accessing PSE from Aperture I am able to make adjustments and save the adjusted file, but the adjusted file does not display in Aperture.
Is anyone having success with Barbara's method using referenced files?
I hope it is not necessary to do a separate import to get the adjusted file to display in Aperture - which would make PSE totally impractical for use.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Associating image files with Photoshop

I'd like to associate jpg or raw files with Photoshop, whereby I can click on the image file and it will launch directly into Photoshop. When I try to associate through Windows 8 it fails to find Photoshop CC as an option to open any form of graphic files, yet I can open PS CC directly and then open the files, or go through Bridge. Thanks.

I find in windows two thing need to be set correctly for that to work like you want. First the file extension associations must to set to ypir Photoshop version and the windows registry keys for photoshop.exe shell commands open and edit must be set correctly.
File associations may be checked and changes with the control panels default programs file association application and the registry keys can be checked. and modified with regedit.

Anyone having trouble sharing large images via email with Aperture 3 and OSX 10.7.2?

I am having trouble sharing images via email with Aperture 3. No matter what size I have in the preferences, the image is thumbnail size. The requested size flashes on the email a couple of times but the small size remains and is sent. I am using OSX 10.7.2. Any suggestions how I may send larger sizes?

I have taught many how to use GUI-based computers. The number of controls they are aware of on the screen always progresses, usually linearly with the amount of time they spend actively learning the GUI. Beginners are totally flummoxed that windows can hide other windows. A step beyond that, they are amazed that they can resize windows using the mouse cursor. Those two are trivial to most users today, but they illustrate 1. that there is nothing "intuitive" about the GUI, and 2. that the amount one perceives is dependant on the amount one knows. IME, this has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with experience using a GUI.
Here is a good hint: if you are using a Mac and can't figure out how to do something, look for something to click. If you find something that seems promising, try "{Option}+clicking".
The interface is richer than any one person can master. Frank's statement "most times we all fail to see everything " is, imho, _always_ true. We never see everything, even in the grossly limited resolution of our computer screens.

Image Bands/Corruption in Photoshop CS5 When Editing from Aperture

I'm having some problems when editing Aperture images in Photoshop. When I choose an image I want to edit, it opens in PS CS5 with bands of corruption in the image. Now, I hate to use the term corruption, because when I zoom the image to 100%, the bands disappear, so the image isn't truly corrupted. You can see what's going on with the images here: http://gallery.me.com/drewje#100004
I'm using Aperture 3.1.1 with RAW image formats and using an Aperture-managed library, not referenced. I've tried opening in Photoshop with both TIFF and PSD 16-bit formats with identical results. I'm using the high performance energy saver setting, to enable my NVIDIA GeForce 9600m video card in my first gen unibody MacBook Pro. I'm using version 12.0.2 of Photoshop CS5.
I'm getting no help on the Adobe boards, so was hoping someone over here had some ideas or thoughts on how to fix this. Anyone?

I'm just getting back to check on this thread now, but this does appear to fix the problem. I hate to call this "solved" because it's clearly a bug that exists, but it's nice that there's a workaround. I was just about to look at moving to Lightroom. I should be able to live with this.

I am using Aperture 3 now and I love it. But I would like to purchase or download perhaps some freeware, easy to use photo imaging/editing software with more filters, perhaps layering etc. My Apple mentor suggests Pixelmator or Gimp ?

I am using Aperture 3 now and I love it. But I would like to purchase or download perhaps some freeware, easy to use photo imaging/editing software with more filters, perhaps layering etc. I don't want something with a very steep learning curve, getting to old for that. My Apple mentor suggests Pixelmator or Gimp ? Are there some others out there? When I was still in the Windows world, I used Photoshop Elements but that is now in my past. Any ideas?

Pixelmator or Gimp are both nice tools for advanced image processing and compositing. I.e. Gimp can do pretty much the same as Phtoshop. You might also have a look at digikam http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/binary
Digikam is not just an advanced image processing and compositing program, it is also content management system like Aperture or iPhoto.
I also find GraphicConverter a nice tool, but it is not free.
If you want your image editing tools to integrate well with Aperture, I would look first at the available plug-ins, start with the plug-ins offered in the Aperture pull-down menu
Aperture -> Aperture Plug-ins...

Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
