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.

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.

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

How to view image size compared to Page size

In previous versions if you clicked the bottom left onthe frame of an image where the document size is you would get a small popup of an outline of the image size compared to the current page size. I cannot figure out how to see this in the new CS4 version. I've tried everything, help!

Hello Heiko,
I don't know, if it is possible, but I would say,
it's not implemented yet. Maybe you can change the picture size and use then the pictures, that might be a workaround, if you can't change the height and width in VC.
Best Regards,
Marcel

I am importing videos from my canon sl1 to my macbook when i use iphoto is says "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image." and when i use image capture it says "An error occured while importing. The item 'MVI_1040

I am importing videos from my canon sl1 to my macbook air when i use iphoto is says "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image." and when i use image capture it says "An error occured while importing. The item ‘MVI_1040'' Thanks in advance

Can you access the images on the phone with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) ?

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.

Aperture images with iLife

I know you can access Aperture images in iLife, but it doesn't let you access the versions that are so carefully edited. Does anyone know if this is possible without exporting versions as JPEGs and then reimporting? Along the same lines, sometimes I just want the images I rate 5 stars to show up in iLife, but it always displays all the images in the project. Am I missing something?

but it doesn't let you access the versions that are so carefully edited.
Yes it does. You just need to make sure you've created previews of the edited versions. I've turned off automatic preview generation and just use a hotkey for the Generate Previews option.
sometimes I just want the images I rate 5 stars to show up in iLife, but it always displays all the images in the project. Am I missing something?
you can't filter out images from the Media Browser (iLife) but you can create a smart album in Aperture that only shows five star images, then use that to browse only those images in iLife apps.
hope this helps!

Aperture image to external editor is SLOW

Wondering if anyone else is having an issue with opening their images up using their "external editor" option in Aperture.
Mine is set to Photoshop, which I'm sure many of you have. But it takes upwards of a minute for the Aperture image to duplicate itself and then open up in PS. It triples the time of my workflow -- which is a pain when I need to edit dozens of images in PS.
Anyone have any suggestions? My computer is brand-new and quite fast. But perhaps there's a logical answer that I have yet to discover.
Thanks.

How much RAM do you have? You'll want 2 GB to do what you want.
There are a few things going on here:
1) Photoshop is a large application... it takes a while to load on any hardware
2) Photoshop is not yet a universal application. It runs in Rosetta, which is an emulation layer. This makes it slower (probably 2-3x slower than on a PowerPC; so your MacBook running Photoshop at current is probably about as fast as an 800 MHz PowerBook).
3) Rosetta uses lots of RAM as well. So Photoshop in Rosetta while you're using Aperture will really tax the machine.
I'd recommend you run nothing else on the machine at all but Aperture and Photoshop. Quit mail, quit safari, quit anything but those two applications. Your life will get better when Photoshop CS3 comes out (March/April) and is universal. Until then, yeah, it's going to be a little on the slow side.

The image or attachment says partial down load and never downloads the rest to my email view. How do I fix

Mail message does not download all of the image. It says download partial
and downloading but never completes

yes it could well do if your bank thinks there is something going on that is not from you they will block it. I have had this problem before, I would of thought they would of phoned me but they don't do that.
If I was you I would go to my bank make sure they are not doing anything like that. If they say it's all fine then i would phone up apple them self or go into my local apple store, as they should be able to look at what there servers are saying why it's not working.

Aperture Images on External Drive/Screensaver Can't Find

Hi all,
I've searched the discussions and haven't been able to find threads addressing my specific question. I can't get my MacBook Pro (running OS x10.6/Snow Leopard) to use my Aperture Library for my screensaver. My entire Aperture library (currently about 50,000 images) is on an external hard drive - am wondering if this is the issue. When I try to add the file to the screensaver picture options, I find my external HD, but the Aperture Library is greyed out.
I have already tried the proposed remedies around weeding out weird dates and removing the timestamp file/setting the iLife folder to "read only." I'm not interested in exporting projects or files, in part because I don't want two sets of things hanging around taking up space - I just want it to randomly choose Aperture images to display on the screen. Another suggested work around was importing the images into iPhoto - but, again, I do not want multiple sets of these images. Can it really be the case that I can't point the screensaver to images housed on an external drive??
I'm new to Macs in the last 6 months and mostly thrilled with the change - but this process particular was WAY easier on my PC.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi,
iTunes is trying to find your tracks on your hard drive, not those in the cloud.
I would suggest that you create a second blank iTunes library on your computer. Sign into iTunes & match, run match and when completed your music in the cloud will be shown and you will be able to stream the music to your computer.

Can Time Capsule host an Aperture image library efficiently?

In our household, we have several MacBook Pros with SSD drives, which don't have a lot of storage space. Since we take a lot of high-resolution pictures in .RAW format (app. ~25 MB per file), it would be nice if we could store all of our pictures remotely on the Time Capsule, and access the image library from our laptops, without needing to copy the files to our local harddrives.
So, is it possible to use Time Capsule as the only storage device for our Aperture image library, in a way that we can open and work with the library remotely (wirelessly) through Aperture on several Macs?
I am guessing that this is possibly by simply sharing the files, but there are a few things that I am concerned about, such as:
Will my images files/Aperture library get corrupted/damaged when a computer looses connection to the Time Capstule in the midst of editing?
What will happen if several users attempt to access/modify several images on the Time Capsule at the same time?
Will you get good performance from Aperture with a very large, remote image library?
I have also considered getting an Mac mini with OS X Lion Server to do the same job, but setting it up a bit differently. Possibly setting up a Git repository for the images, but I would much prefer a simpler solution, which is why I'm thinking about doing this with a Time Capsule (using it as a "NAS" of sorts).
Thanks in advance for any help, advice and suggestions.

Of course I found this right after posting my questions...
Also, it is strongly recommended that the Aperture library be stored on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing the Aperture library on a network share can also lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss.
So I guess using the Time Capsule is out of the question, but I would still be interested in hearing from you guys if you have any good suggestions on how to work with a large image library in Aperture remotely through the network, if at all possible.

I got the image on the vi,now I want to take rectangle potion from that image and compare with other image

Hi,
Now i have a image on VI ,i want to take rectangale postion of the image and compare with the other image(In this image also i need to take a small postionof it) and show the result.
Both image are equal or not....if it is equal show pass if the image is not ok fail.
Regards,
Sri.

First i would like to thanks for the inputs,
I have made one Vi for comparing the two images and display equal or not.
Problem:if there is a small change in the picture it is showing false ,but the image is ok only the contract ,clarity ,inclination is the problem... i need your help in controlling that image......like controlling the colors and telling if the color , shade, projection of the image of the image is in between this range show it as ok....
i started with cluster taking the out put of the BMP file, but i am not able to do....can u help me on this.
i am attaching the file what i have made...

How do I find the aperture image files so that I can attach them to an email

How do I find the aperture image files? I know that you can email images from aperture. But how would I attach an image using Mail?

if you mean to go into the Aperture library in order to get image files to print with Canon's software it's not really possible. The best you would be able to do would be to get the master image and if you're shooting RAW that will be the RAW file. In any case no adjustments you made to the image in Aperture would be available, versions don't exist as files until you export them.
If you want to print with the Canon software you would export the image from Aperture and then print that image file.
If I've misunderstood your question post back,
regards

Images in Aperture appears oversaturated in the Full mode. Please help?

I'm using 30" Apple HD screen, and when I opening photo in the normal mode all the colors are fine. However once I change it to full screen mode the Red and Yellow become overstaurated. Please help!

Are you using two displays? If you are then odds are your other display (not the 30") is set as the default display. When this happens the full mode uses the other display's profile (the default) in full screen mode.
What you need to do to correct it is to go into the color sync utility. Under the "Devices" tab go down to "Displays". Toggle it show all your displays. Select your 30" ACD and then to the right select the "Make Default Display" button.
