Aperture in the work group

We are looking at using Aperture in our workgroup of three photographers. Our plan is to store all "Master" images in folders on an X-Raid file server by date and project name. Each MacPro workstation will have Aperture installed and each user will have his own library on his own workstation that references the central archive of Masters on the X-Raid. (By letting each photographer have his own Aperture Library on his own workstation he can be sure whatever he does to the images will always be available unaltered to access by him as needed and yet the master images on the X-Raid will be available to the whole workgroup. Will there be any problems in doing this? And if such can you offer a better plan or work around. We plan to backup the master image files on the X-Raid offsite to a tape backup, so the Vault feature won't be necessary for masters.

I see Aperture as a tool for professional photographers. It is where he works, and as such each photographer's Aperture library should be protected from others. The photographer decides who and what is shared with others. Any "peer review" would take place outside of Aperture, hence the need for separate individual Aperture Libraries. However, since the images themselves, the originals that is, are owned by the organization, each photographer would need access to them. That is why I would like to see a central archive of orginal images that each photographer could access with his Aperture Library. Any Photoshopped images would be exported to this central archive as well. Backup of originals would be off site to a tape backup. Each Aperture library could be backed up in a similar manner.
To repeat my question, is there anything preventing different Aperture Libraries with referenced file management from accessing a networked server of images?

    You can get the number of machines managed by ConfigMgr that are in workgroups. However that might not be all clients in different workgroups since there is no guarantee that all machines are managed by ConfigMgr (have a client).

    Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library  it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

    Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down.  You'll get 3 options.
    Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

  • List view GroupBy pagination does not work for the second group?

    Hi,
    I have defined view for list with grouping by 2 fields. I noticed the paging works only for the first grouping, for the second field there are always all items on the page. How could I configure it to provide paging also for the second level of grouping?
    If it is possible to have paging for only one group level, I would like to change it for the second 2 (as there are only like 15 groups for the first level but there could be hundreds for the second one).
    Thanks!

  • Sending email to the work email address of a group in AddressBook

    Is it possible to send an email to a group of users but only to the work email addresses of those users ? Some users have multiple email address (work, home,...) but I don't find any info or logic how Mail is selecting an address from the AddressBook.

    Hi,
    In the new message window, click on the address book tab. In the address book window select the group and then select one person in that group (on the right side of the window). Now press (Apple+a) to select all the people in that group. Now click on the "To", "Cc" or "Bcc" tab as you like.
    By default the selection of email address depends on the way a vCard is formatted in address book. (Look at the Address Book preferences. If the work email address is chosen first in the preferences, then pressing (Apple +a) would select the work emails of that group.

  • Is Aperture 3 the best software for working on a databse of images from different photographers?

    Hi everybody,
    I have only been using Aperture for a few months and am unsure of its suitability for this project.
    It seems to me that Aperture is designed for the photographer who wants to work on his own photos. I need to select, re-name, add metadata, keyword & eventually improve photos & re-size photos to be used on a website. Photos come from all over the world & different copyright names & rights.
    In my previous job, I  used XnView for PC for the selection, renaming & metadata process  & Extensis Portfolio for adding keywords & Photoshop for working on technical improvements, I would like to know whether somebody out there uses Aperture (3) for much of this process.
    Can you share an ongoing project over 2 different computer owned by 2 different people in Aperture 3 updating each simultaneously?
    I will work on some photos on my computer and other photos at my client's house. I presume that I will have to export the photos that I work on on my computer to my USB stick in order to be able to read the information that I have saved on my computer on her computer??. It seems that even if one chooses to save photos to the original file and thus work on 'managed masters', it doesn't save over the original file. I have just done some more work on this photo database on my computer I decided to save to 'referenced master', ie: the aperture library.
    However, when I want to continue working on this big project, I want to update the aperture photo library on my client's Aperture library, do I have to export the work I have done in my computer in Aperture to my USB stick and then re-import on the other computer to keep all the images up-to-date, this will be an ongoing situation. Can this work? I cannot see a way of joining the Aperture library from 2 computers in another way.
    I have just read this article: http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2010/2/12/aperture-3a-game-changer-multiple-m acs-syncing-projects-more.html
    It's very good but, I still don't understand how to take my edited images worked on in Aperture from my computer to my client's one. Do I have to connect the computers and if so how is this done?
    I have also read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7863
    If I want to constantly update each Aperture library when switching computers, do I have to follow this procedure of exporting the photos as a library from one computer to another with the updated images?
    I really appreciate any clear help I can get from this forum.
    Thank you in advance!

    Aperture would be fine for a single editor editing images from multiple photographers. It would not work well (if at all) for multiple people trying to edit the same library.
    so the answer to this:
    Can you share an ongoing project over 2 different computer owned by 2 different people in Aperture 3 updating each simultaneously?
    is no.
    I will work on some photos on my computer and other photos at my client's house.
    The images at your client's house will be from where? Will the client have  Aperture running in the house on there computer?
    Apart from those two the rest of your post is a bit impenetrable.
    But a few thoughts you can mull over:
    You could put the Aperture library on an external drive and carry the drive between locations. If you wanted to leave the library of a part of the library there you could copy to the clients drive (if you're leaving the whole thing) or else export the projects/albums/images as a library and have the client import that into there library (or just run it as a standalone library)

  • I'm using a Dell Inspiron 7520 ... pretty new. Sometimes when I download a CD / album to my library acouple of tracks get separated away from the main group. I've tried to click and drag the stragglers over to the main group but it doesn't work. Any Ideas

    .When installing a CD/album into my library some of the tracks get separated away from the main group of tracks. I try to click and drag the stragglers to the main group but it doesn't work. My laptop is using Windows 8. My old XP laptop didn't have this problem. I'm not sure if that has any thing to do with it. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's more of an irritation than a problem but if it can be solved, it would be a good thing. Thanks!         Paul 

    Hey Paul,
    If I understand correctly, it sounds like iTunes is not grouping the songs from a particular CD together. The cause could be something as minor as a misspelling or slight variations. For more information, see the following resource:
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • I have a macbookpro. when I connect any camera to the mac it does not show as a device. How do I load my pictures to either iPhoto or Aperture? It worked before but just stopped working. Any suggestions?

    I have a macbookpro. I use Aperture and Iphoto. When I connect any camera to the Mac it does not open it as a device in Iphoto, Aperture or in Finder. It use to work but just stopped. Any sugestions?

    Here is the full story. It may be long so please bear with me. I take a lot of pictures and movies. Since I have over 30,000 pictures I decided to place the Iphoto library on an external drive to save space on my internal drive since ot was getting very full. After I did that it worked fine for a while. Then one day I could not open the Iphoto library. Since I was overseas at the time I brought it to the IStudio ( not an Istore) overseas. They said to rebuild the library and they would do that for me. It took all day since I had so many pictures. When they called me and told me it was ready, I went to pick it up. They started to show me the new library. It crashed again. Not knowing how to fix this at the ISudio, they installed Aperture and imported the Iphoto library. This worked fine for a short time.When back in the states, it crashed again just like Iphoto. I took it to the IStore. They did not know why the overseas Istudio did what they did what they did  and rebuilt my aperture library. Again it worked fine. Now that I am overseas again. It crashed again. However, I concluded that the reason for these crashes is becuase I have the file on an external drive that derives its power from the Mac and not by itself. When I use it and stop for a while the MAC will go to sleep and this cuases the external drive to shut down. This then causes the library to have inconsistancies. Therefore, when it happened this time I tried to repair the library and after 36 hours it would close down Aperture. Therefore I decided to rebuild the library. That did not work either. So I tried opening the Aperture library with Iphoto. That seemed like it was going to work but after importing half of the 30,000 plus pictures. I photo shut down. I then made a new aperture libary and erged the old library with it. This worked. I now have an aperture library that works. However, when I plug my camera into the MAC nothing happens. The camera does not show up in devices in either Aperture, I photo nor in Finder. The USB port and cord I use works fine becuase I can read my external hard drives fine. I checked as SIG suggested in this thread and everything is set to open aperture when the camera is connected.
    I have the newest OS version 10. 7. 2 and the computer frequently updates all my programs. I have not installed any ne software lately. The problem happens both if I am on battery or plugged in. Just before I came overseas the IStore replaced the Battery.   I can go back to the IStudio  here overseas but the last time I was there and told them about the problem ( I did not have my computer with me) they did not impress me with their wisdom. I will be back in that city in a month and can go there if need be.  Thanks for all the help so far. God bless.

  • Users assigned directly to a SharePoint group can access a site if a user is in a security group that is a member of the SharePoint group, it doesn't work

    I recently installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and thus far all seems to be going well. I do have one issue concerning permissions to a team site I have created:
    1. If  add a user User1 only to a SharePoint group that has edit permissions to the site, that user can log in successfully.
    2. If  add a user User1 only to a security group that is a member of the aforementioned SharePoint group, the  user gets "the site has not been shared with you. The security group is a global SG, though I tried changing it to universal 
    but that did not help
     I have tried updating the SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig  as briefly described at this link:
    http://macaalay.com/2014/05/27/active-directory-groups-and-access-denied-in-sharepoint-2013/.  I performed the steps and it did not work. I also
    tried rebooting the server after that, and that did not work either.  any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi,
    I tested the issue on SharePoint server 2013 without sp installed. It worked and I used global security group. I will test the issue on SharePoint 2013 sp1 later, and please provide more information to narrow down the issue.
    Please go to site settings > site permissions > check permission, type in domain\user1, and post the result here.
    If the user has been granted permission, please try logging on another machine to test if Windows credential casues the issue.
    Did the issue occur to one site collection? Please test on other sites or web applications?
    Please create new user to test the issue again.

  • I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there.  I have more info now though.  It's not a problem with merging.
    The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
    When aperture start, it shows "importing".  When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box.  In the activity box, has many lines as below.  The added projcts are all empty.  It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

    Thanls Ernie. I found the solution. My problem was previous to 10.10.3. It looks like the installation of final cut and uninstallation of fcp delte a plugins that was needed for Aperture. I recover from time machine my plugins in Library/frameworks/plugin.manager.framework and now Aperture works ! Ouf....

  • Page break doesn't work  for the detail group

    I have this report created for Quotations which spreads in 3 logic panels.The report comprises 1 parent group and 6 child groups.Now I want the last child group to appear in a seperate page under the heading 'Annexure'.For this, I set the 'Page break after' for the repeating frame of another group positioned just above this detail group in question. But in the new page not only does the child group get printed but also the master group members and some boiler plate objects i created there.How can i get rid of this problem?
    Thanks

    Jay,
    Seems something wrong in your reports layout which is a bit harder to underdtand from your description. You can post with a graphical representation of your reports layout model.
    BTW, why don' you try the page you want as annexure in trailer section?

  • I am trying to organize thousands of images in aperture.  The dates on the old scanned images is all 2008, when I started importing them.  When I change the date in aperture some of them hold the modified date and some revert to 2008.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to organize thousands of old images in aperture.  Aperture dates them all in 2008, when I started this project.  When I change the date in aperture some of them hold the modified date and some revert to 2008.  Any ideas?

      I just tried a test library, re-imported fresh images from a hard drive, and the date changes still revert.
    So neither your external drive nor your Aperture library are to blame.
    What do you mean test in a different user acct?  Would it be a good idea to uninstall and re-download aperture 3?
    Appreciate all your help.
    I meant the trouble shooting procedure described here:  Isolating an issue by using another user account
    To test, if some settings in your user account are faulty or preferences files corrupted, it helps to create a new user account from the "Users&Groups" System preferences. With a brand new user account you can see, if something in your current account is causing this.
    Should you see, that Aperture is not even working from a new and clean account, I'd reinstall Aperture, and if need be the Operating system.  Are you using any plug-ins?
