Aperture/iPhoto support

Any ideas on when Aperture/iPhoto will have raw support fo Sony A7II ?

Since iPhoto and Aperture are now dead, there is going to be no reason for Apple to upgrade RAW Support under OS X for the pro cameras any longer because no one with a pro camera is going to use that toy they are calling Photos in the future.

  • I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

    I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
    I can't access these images except to go into the applications. 
    Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive.  I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space.  Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use. 
    As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb.  Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
    So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
    -select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    -eliminate dups but maintain organization
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    -live happily ever after
    Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

    If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
    So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit Aperture
    2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Referenced -  relocate your Masters first.
    These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an  iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    You can't. Every photo is in a Project.  They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
    You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app  you've purchased.
    The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture:   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. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
    (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:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
    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/ Aperture 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 Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

  • Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

  • Eliminating iPhoto Support

    I long ago removed iLife entirely, and yet iPhoto support keeps popping up in Mail, iWork, Aperture, etc. (i.e. using media to find pictures or attaching images). I want to remove every trace of iPhoto, so which file must I delete in System/Library to successful remove iPhoto library access? Thanks!

    Make a back up and then try it and see.
    The problem is that you don't know how many other functions - and non-iLife apps - leverage these. For instance, the Media Browser can be used by iLife apps, or any app.  For instance, you can use the Media Browser to access files in any folder you add to it. Now what happens when you destroy that?
    Like I say, do you really have a compelling reason to take the risk?

  • HT5182 I wonder if iPhoto supports the new Sony DSC-RX100 II camera.

    I wonder if iPhoto supports the new Sony DSC-RX100 II camera. I know it is not supported by Aperture. Can anyone help please?

    It's the system that supports the RAW formats. So if Aperture doesn't support it neither will iPhoto. 
    You'll have to wait until a new Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update is issued by Apple for the camera.

  • HT4007 Lost Link to Aperture/iPhoto combined library procedues

    I lost the link to the information about combining Aperture and iPhoto Libraries. Help! How can I get back to it?

    Did you try the support docs here?  http://www.apple.com/support/aperture/
    Or this main page:  http://www.apple.com/aperture/iphoto-to-aperture/

  • I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay.  Have you heard of this?

    I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. New photos take a long time to load as well.
    Have you heard of this?
    Thanks

    We need a little more information to be able to help.
    However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture.
    What kind of corruption? And when do you see it? All your images, or only some? Are the images distorted, discolored, or not displayed at all?
    Are you shooting in raw? Is your library referenced or managed? Is your library on your system volume or on an external harddrive?
    And it would help to know your MacOS version and Aperture version too.

  • Dark photos from Aperture, iPhoto or Drag and drop

    All imported photos (from aperture, iphoto or drag&droped) whitin a project are very dark in the viewer, and in the final video (itunes, export with several options...). The histogram levels of the image are low. The preview image in the project looks fine.
    I tried repair permissions with disk Utility, system clean with Onyx... the problem remains.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem, but only after I installed the iMovie 9.0.1 update. Before then my still images looked fine when imported.
    But now, my pictures are coming up so dark as to be unusable. I was forced to export them as slideshow movies from iPhoto and import them as clips to iMovie last time I tried to use still images.

  • After installing aperture, iPhoto won't open

    After installing Aperture, iPhoto says it needs to be updated to open. When I run the updater, it says everything is up to date. Suggestons? thanks, Kevin

    Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your Mac? Then you need to upgrade it from the AppStore, not from the Update menu.

  • Sync BOTH Aperture & iPhoto library

    Hello!
    Is there a way to sync both Aperture & iPhoto library onto an iDevice? I know that I can import the iPhoto library to Aperture but this does not solve my problem.
    I update both libraries separately as I use Aperture for RAW images which were taken with a DSLR and iPhoto for other image files from point-and-shoot cameras or mobile devices.
    If I import iPhoto into Aperture and then later update the iPhoto library then the new images do not show up in Aperture or my iDevice.
    Thank you.

    I'm using they both to get more free space.
    Using two libraries in different applications to manage the same data does not get you "more free space". Precisely the opposite, in fact.
    Unless you have a specific need for using iPhoto as well as Aperture, you should simply elect to use one and forget about the other. Pick one horse and ride it.

  • Aperture NOT SUPPORT Fujifilm X-E2 RAW FILES

    Can Anyone inform to aperture to please fix Raw Processing of Fujifilm Cameras in Aperture 3.2.1 in todays world when things are changing so fast still aperture is very behind which not support Raw Files from Fujifilm Cameras...

    Aperture is supporting quite a few Fuji cameras, see: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Fujifilm
    FinePix S2 Pro
    FinePix S3 Pro
    FinePix S5 Pro
    FinePix X100**
    X-Pro1***
    X-A1***
    X-E1***
    X-M1***
    X20***
    X100S***
    Only for the newer cameras the raw support has been released as part of the newer operating systems. You need Aperture 3.4 or later to be able to use the raw support for the X-series cameras. 
    Since you are running OS X 10.9.2, you could update to Aperture 3.5.1 and use the raw support for the Fuji X-E1. I expect, that any raw support for the successor Fuji X-E2 will also be released for the current Aperture version and not the older Aperture 3.2.1.

  • Having installed Aperture iPhoto won't open. When I try it fails with the message "You can't open the iPhoto.app because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any help please?

    Having installed Aperture, iPhoto won't open. When I try it fails with the message "You can't open the iPhoto.app because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any help please?

    OK, fixed it.  Found that iPhoto is now BACK in the App store.
    Found iPhoto app in Finder and dragged it to Trash.
    Downloaded iPhoto from App store and all now back working again.
    Didnt expect to find iPhoto in App store as last time I looked it wasn't available.

  • My Nikon D7000 obtains 14 bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

    My Nikon D7000 obtains 14-bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

    I am pretty sure ( ) that Aperture has had a 16-bit color workflow for several years.
    Here is a printing hint from the User Manual:
    Use a printer that supports 16-bit printing: If the image you’re printing is a high-resolution 16-bit file, using a printer that supports 16-bit printing results in smoother gradations.

    We are no phophets and also do not work for Apple -  so we don't know.
