Aperture masters and metadata with other DAMs?

OK, after the recent lack of an announcement about Aperture updates or revisions at PMA I'm evaluating other DAMS: Bridge, Lightroom, iView (am I missing any other good ones?)
(Off Topic: Unlike many it's not the unsupported RAW issue that has me upset, rather it's the way that features that have been in the program since v1.0 still don't operate smoothly or slow down for no good reason. Why does doing a "Select All" on my 32K image library take 15-minutes?)
I exported a batch of masters with .xmp sidecar files yesterday. While some of my IPTC metadata got placed in the sidecar files some didn't. Particularly troubling was the fact that ratings didn't appear in Lightroom.
I'm looking for suggestions on getting masters out of Aperture in a way that preserves as much metadata as possible.

You don't mention the file types - that's important. Ratings will be carried across if they belong to raw files - they get into the xap:photoshop area of the xmp sidecar file. Tested and verified.
JPEGs and other publicly-documented file types have to be treated separately. Aperture exports an xmp file, but Lightroom and other Adobe applications expect the metadata to be in the file itself, not in a sidecar. So Lightroom will not read the metadata - including ratings - in xmps exported for these file types. You could add them as temporary keywords.
It's also possible to use iView as a go between. Import the export files into iIVew, which can read sidecars for jpegs. Then use Sync in iView to write the metadata into the file.
You can also use the Annoture plug in. Add all your files to iView, then run Annoture. It copies the metadata into iView. Again you can then sync into the files.
There is also an Aperture plugin somewhere for exporting files as DNGs.

  • I'm trying to export my masters to use in Lightroom, can't get the ratings to export. Tried writing the IPTC to masters and exporting with an IPTC4XMP file, no luck. These are all .jpg files. The ratings export OK if I export the versions. Any suggestions

    I'm trying to export my Aperture masters to use in Lightroom, can't get the ratings to export. Tried writing the IPTC data to the masters and adding the IPTC4XMP file when exporting, neither worked. The ratings show up in Lightroom if I export the versions. These are all .jpg's that I am exporting. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    There are two problems here:
    1) Aperture does not modify its "original" files on export.  Meaning with the JPEG files that Aperture will NOT modify them, and it will not write IPTC data to them.  It exports the XMP sidecar files, as you're seeing.
    2) Adobe will NOT read IPTC sidecar files for non-RAW images.  So if it sees a JPEG file, it will not look for an XMP sidecar file.  It just doesn't read them, so the data won't be imported by Lightroom.
    If you are using JPEG files, then probably the solution is to check the box in Aperture to tell it to write XMP metadata to the original files.  They're not RAW files, so they're not proprietary in any way, so writing the XMP metadata to the JPEG files is probably pretty safe.

  • I have been sharing an apple ID and icloud with other family members. How do I change my iphone so as to create my own account?

    I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?

    If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account.  To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else.

  • How do I share address book and calendars with other iCloud users?

    I guess the title of the discussion question says it all.
    My wife, and other family members want to SHARE Contacts, Calendars etc... with other iCloud users.
    Simple task... most people would want to do it...
    But... I can't find an easy answer... how do I do it?

    Roger, thanks... I had continued my search and found this information on the discussion.
    Now, my biggest concern is the ADDRESS BOOK... I'd like to publish, specific GROUPS within my master Address Book to other iCloud users... with either Read Only, or Read Write permisions.
    Do you have any knowledge or suggestion on how that can be accomplished in iCloud?
    It seems as though this would be FOUNDATIONAL in iCloud if APPLE expects it to be a USABLE SERVICE.
    Thanks for your help...

  • Partition Eliminiation on views and joins with other partitioned tables

    I have a bunch of tables that are daily partioned and other which are not. We constantly join all these tables. I have noticed that partition elimination doesn't happen in most cases and I want some input or pointers on these.
    Case 1
    We have a view that joins a couple of partitioned tables on the id fileds and they the partition key is timestamp with local time zone.
    TABLEA
    tableaid
    atime
    TABLEB
    tablebid
    tableaid
    btime
    The view basically joins on tableaid, a.tableaid = b.tableaid(+) and a bunch of other non partitioned tables. atime and btime are the individal partition keys in the tables and these time do not match up like the id's in other words there is a little bit of correlation but they can be very different.
    When I run a query against the view providing a time range for btime, I see partition elimination on tabled in the explain plan with KEY on Pstart/Pstop. But its a full tablescan on tablea. I was hoping there would be somekind of partition elimination here since its also partioned daily on the same datatype timestamp with local time zone.
    Case 2
    I have a couple of more partitioned tables
    TABELC
    tablecid
    tablebid
    ctime
    TABLED
    tabledid
    tablebid
    dtime
    As you can see these tables are joined with tablebid and the times here generally correlate to tableb's timestamp as well.
    Sub Case 1
    When I join these tables to the view and give a time range on btime, I see partition elimination happening on tableb but not on tablea or any of the other tables.
    Sub Case 2
    Then I got rid of the view, wrote a query that us similar to the view where I join on tableaid (tablea and tableb), then on tablebid (tableb, tablec and tabled) and a few other tables and execute the query with some time range on btime and I still see that partition elimination happens only on tableb.
    I thought that if other tables are also partitioned on a similark key that partition eliminition should happen? Or what am I missing here that is preventing from partition elimination on the other tables.

    Performance is of utmost importance and partition pruning is going to help in that. I guess that's what I'm trying to acheive.
    To achive partition elimination on tablec, d, etc I'm doing an outer join with btime and that seems to work. Also since most of the time after the partition elimination, I don't need a full tablescan since the period I will be querying most of the time will be small I also created a local index on id field that I'm using to join so that it can do a "TABLE ACCESS BY LOCAL INDEX ROWID" this way it should peform better than a global index since the index traversal path should be small when compared to the global index.
    Of couse I still have problem with the tablea not being pruned, since I cannot do an outer join on two fields in the same table (id and time). So might just include the time criteria again and may be increase the time range a little more when compared to what the actual user submitted to try not to miss those rows.
    Any suggestions is always welcome.

  • Sharing Address Book (and groups) With Others

    I know there is a way to share address book with others through mac.com, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do it without mac.com ...

    Yes, there are quite a few other options. I developed a solution for this called Address Book and Calendar Server (http://www.addressbookserver.com). There seems to be also an option to use Google etc.
    PS: I am the developer of AddressBookServer.com and naturally biased towards it.

  • Help! My photos won't stream to the cloud and share with other devices. ( I've had the photo stream button on all the time I've had the phone.) The only way I can do it is by manually adding them to photo stream and this is very slow/ misses photos..

    Hello,
    I'm very frustrated. I need to delete photos from my iphone to increase the storage so I can update the operating system. Since first using the phone I bought extra iCloud storage and ensured the photo streaming button for the iCloud was turned on.
    Unfortunately it seems to have a mind of its own and will download and share some photos but the majority have not been downloaded.
    I've resorted to manually putting them on photo stream (the one you share with friends) so the photos will be on my iPad. It also takes ages for my iphone to put them on the photo stream. It's downloaded one album x3 ..??!!? I've tried deleting the duplicated photos but it's now frozen on me....
    I haven't dared delete the photos from my camera roll in case I loose them all and I'm therefore stuck in the situation of being unable to download the new operating system or take anymore photos/download music/apps. It *****!
    Please Help!
    Are there any other options for me to be able to  download my photos when I don't have a computer/laptop? Is there a permanent online storage option I can use?
    Thanks
    Becky

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • Offered the Edge program months ago, as a solution to reduce current bill, and compete with other providers. Offer no longer available till next year, then November, then October 2nd, now given confirmation number that can be looked up but not completed?

    Final offer is to just continue to pay $260/mo, and call back on October 2nd, as that is the date I can change my four lines to EDGE and save per month. The initial offer did not include a $25/line discount and required me to Upgrade my phones. I have four Iphone 5S model devices, sharing 10GB of data.
    Months ago that offer would just cost more per month and lacked a device to offer me. Later I saw an add that mentioned a $25/line discount for Edge. That would drop my bill $100/month! I asked about the plan again at that time. I was told that I was still eligible,but there was no way to keep my current phones, and work them into the Edge plan. Once the Iphone 6 was announced, I now had a phone that was an upgrade, and I was ready to take the offer. I was told at a store that the offers have no specific terms, and they must be taken when offered. They said I would qualify for another chance in November! I called CS and was told that my next Offer to take the plan would be October 2nd. I went online and at 3:01am EST to pre-order. My phones ship date was October 7th, and I was told that, I then qualified for the Edge, due to the date, but only one line could be activated that way and the rest needed to be done at a store. I was given a confirmation number. Due to glitches that night, I placed this order on my own computer and the customer service agent at the same time, (he was on with me for 3 hours) till one of us was successful. My computer gave me the confirmation number, but the number is a customer service generated confirmation number. Internet services cannot help me confirm the order, because the number is CS. CS cannot help because I did it online. My plan has not changed and going to a verizon store, after staying up all night to preorder, I was told that they have no idea if it went through or not, and to wait and see if my order arrives at home on the 7th. During the store managers "search" he asked for my password,number/username, secret questions, secret site picture (confirmed) last four of my social, kept my family and I in the store 40 min past closing time, answering nothing and leaving me concerned in my sleep deprived state. Calling CS after that, only told me to change my password and again, wait till October 7th, as neither CS or internet dept. are sure of what happened. Neither would actually put a supervisor on the phone, it disconnects while waiting. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I don't feel like its safe to go to the local verizon store. CS did not feel as though the managers actions were disciplinary other than to change my password immediately, to prevent unauthorized access. Who are you supposed to trust with your private information? who can you trust to get the truth? The only thing the run around has done is prevent me from pre-ordering from another provider. I was even told that if I did, and Verizon preorders also came on the 7th, that I would have to pay for them too. $35 restocking fee at minimum. 

    Yes, I am aware of the new phone costs being added back to the plan. My issue is not with the current iteration of the EDGE plan, but with the inconsistent instructions to implement the plan. So far no one can tell me what changes have been made, if any to my current plan. The status of the pre-order? Plus my security concerns have not yet been addressed.
    What they will offer, is the EDGE plan, plus specific dates of delivery, for any additional lines that I would like to order above and beyond my current 4 lines. Yet the status of those lines are still in limbo. That was the term they used. Why would I want to purchase additional phones and lines of service when they cannot find my original order. If those phones do arrive in October, they would add 4 more lines of service totaling 8 lines of EDGE. I am not sure why this cannot be fixed beyond, wait and see. I am currently testing out an Iphone 5S with T-mobile. So far I am getting similar signal quality, and they offer Wifi calling that will be enabled with a new iPhone 6, that needs to be taken into account with the comparison. I've read that Verizon will enable the feature mid 2015. Four Iphone Plus models would run me about $225/mo as the most expensive option, still saving me monthly. I know verizon has good service where I live, tmobile is unknown, and after being treated so poorly, I am looking into with the test phone.

  • Giving text outline stroke and path and uniting with other paths

    How do I give Lucida handwriting a 2pt outline stroke, give it an outline path, then unite it with another shape path without the text losing it's outline stroke??  I can't bold Lucida handwriting as it only has an italic option, so need to give it an outline stroke to achieve a bold letter.  As soon as I give it an outline path and unite it to other shape paths the 'bold'ness disappears and it reverts to it's original size.  I hope this makes sense!  Any help would be appreciated.

    You are welcome, drive.
    What you will be looking for is what is called a flowing script (probably a casual flowing script); script fonts are those remembling handwriting.
    You may have a look at this website, where you can click (Formal or) Casual Flowing Script and see many different ones (which may give you an overview and possibly some inspiration),
