Aperture photo editing capability gone

I've upgraded Yosemite, and without realizing it, my iPhoto/Aperture library has been migrated to Photos. I'm fine with that ... except that the Photo editing capability in Photos seems to be incredibly weak. Yes I can no doubt transfer a photo to Aperture, but we all want a single photo library. I keep looking for the Advanced Edit menu ... but there isn't one. Am I missing something? Why has Apple eliminated all the capability I PURCHASED in Aperture? This is not making this customer happy at all.

Did you find the advanced editing pane in the Adjust portion of Photos' edit mode?
Click on the Add button and check all of the times you want to show under Adjust.

I aperture photo library is gone

My entire aperture 3.51photo library is gone. Where can I find it?

What did you do, before your Library vanished?
Can't you see the library in the folder where it should be, or can Aperture find no aperture library, when you launch Aperture?
Have you checked your Trash in the Dock?
Where do you keep your Aperture library? By default is it in your "Pictures" folder.
When you launch Aperture with the alt/options key held down, you should see a panel with all available aperture libraries that Aperture can find: clicking on ne of the libraries in the list should show you the path to the library in the Finder below the list of libraries:
If Aperture can not find the library, try to find it with Spotlight: Type .aplibrary into the search field. Does that find any Aperture libraries?

IOS 8 photo edit loses location information

I noticed that whenever I edit a photo with the built-in photo editor, the location information of the edited photo is gone. It also happens when a filter is selected on the camera before the photo is shot.
For me this means that the photo editing capability of iOS is pretty much useless at this time.
Anybody else noticed this bug?

My iPhone 5s runs the latest iOS 8.1 and I have no problem of editing photos within the Photos app. Actually, after click Done to confirm the action, it saves the change right away, even without your notice. The suggestions I could give you are: first, update your iPhone to the latest version - iOS 8.1.0; second, restore your iPhone (backup your iPhone to iTunes or iCloud> tap Settings > General > Reset > Eraser all content and settings> set up as a new iPhone > restore from the iCloud backup file or connect to computer to restore from an iTunes backup file). Good luck!

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

Export from Aperture to edit in Windows Live Photo Gallery

Hi.
I'm hoping to work collaboratively with a colleague, in a scenario where I take & edit photos, then pass them over for a possible final touch up before being forwarded to clients.
I use Mac OSX 10.6 and Aperture. He uses Windows Vista and Windows Live Photo Gallery.
The problem we've come up against is this: he is unable to edit the image I've exported from Aperture. I'm exporting as .JPG, and he's able to read them ok - i.e. load it into Windows Live Photo Gallery, but not alter the image.
Does anyone have a similar workflow, exporting from Aperture, then editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery?
Thanks in advance,
PB

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,
PB

IPad and Aperture - photo deletion and/or editing

Hi all,
I'm a new happy user of an iPad 2, and as I am also a user of Aperture, I was wondering if there is a way to delete photos from my iPad and thus from my Aperture. I have sooooo many photos that I want to delete, and I would love it if there was a way to sit with my kids and prune through my library on my iPad. Also, is there a program that will allow me to do any photo editing/captioning/face tagging/caption adding, etc., (basically a moble version of Aperture) on my iPad?
Thanks so much!!!!!
Leah

The problem is with the ipod photo cache.
He had me do the following:
1. go to home folder in finder
2. open pictures folder
3. right click on iphoto library and click on show package contents
4. Find "ipod photo cache" file and drag to desktop
5. Close finder
6. Reopen itunes and sync ipad
7. The ipod photo cache rebuilds itself

Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

Thanks Larry. That certainly gives me some understanding. Can't imagine I'm the only Aperture user with that concern, so I certainly hope Adobe and others will fill the void. Without that feature, Photos is pretty much a non-started for me.

Aperture 2 quitting when doing photo edits

I am using Aperture 2 on my Late 2009 27" iMac. OS X 10.9.5 Maverick.
The application quits unexpectedly when making photo edits. (most noticeable if cropping the image). This problem seems to have only recently manifested. I hadn't been doing much editing until today with the new OS.
Is there a compatibility issue with Aperture 2 and Maverick 10.9.5?.
I'm at a loss as my Aperture library is big and I don't know how to move it to a new computer or newer version of Aperture easily.
Is it time to buy a new iMac / Photo edit software?
Thanks

Both your Aperture version and iPhoto version are perfect for working with MacOS X 10.6.8, but nor for your current system. iPhoto 8.1.2 is also incompatible with Mavericks. You should be using iPhoto 9.5.1 for best performance. with iPhoto 8.1.2 you'll have similar problems.
Could I migrate all my Aperture library to iPhoto easily? It seems that iPhoto has slowed down a lot since I upgraded operating systems from snow leopard to Maverick, thus why I'm hesitant to use iPhoto for editing. I am using an old version of iPhoto however. (09 8.1.2)
Aperture and iPhoto are now compatible and can open each others libraries,but not the older versions you are using. To be able to use both iPhoto and Aperture on the same library you would need to use at least Aperture 3.3 and Photo 3.3., see: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
For best performance upgrade to Aperture 3.5.1, if you want to continue a professional application, to CaptureOne, or Lightroom. Upgrading to aperture 3 would be the most seamless transit. If you want to migrate to a simpler application upgrade your iPhoto to 9.5.1, but you would have export your originals and edited versions separately from Aperture. Upgrading to Aperture 3 would save the lossless workflow.

Best hardware configuration for photo editing in Aperture and/or Photoshop

I am looking to replace my existing iMac, and want to know best setup to handle photo editing. My current system (6 years old, 8GM RAM) does get bogged down some in Aperture.

photoshop and video edit rely mostly on memory and IO speed
a bit on cpu and less so on video chip (as those are useful mainly for 3d and mainly gaming 3d but a also a bit for pro 3d)
so SSD or hybrid would help
and 16GB mem
and you don't really need the max cpu model but midrage is useful

IPhone Photos edited with iOS 7 losing adjustments in Aperture

I shot a few photos with iOS 7 this weekend while at the cottage and was importing them into Aperture (which I use to manage my rather large collection). I noticed that for some reason some of the adjustments were now missing. Yes my crops and auto enchancements were there but the colour effects I applied were not.
Just curious if anyone knows how to work around this? I figured I could always open the edited photos in another app like Camera+ and save them out again but that seems to be poor form as it'd result in generation loss.
Any suggestions?

Could you give more details please, so we can compare notes?
How are you editing and transfering your photos - editing directly in the Camera.app, the Photos.app, iPhoto IOS?
And what kind of IOS device? iPad, iPod, iPhone?
And how have the photos been transferred to your Mac? Photo Stream? Import by connecting the device?
I just made a test on my iPad with IOS 7 and all edits transferred:
Taking the pictures with the Camera.app
Editing them in the Camera.app and saving the edited version to the camera roll.
The edited version with all edits appeared in the Photo Stream (a few hours later ) and all edits were there.
But if you edited in the Photos.app and not in the Camera.app, it is harder to get the edited version to the Camera Roll. I use iPhoto to save an edited copy of the photo to the camera Roll (from the "Share" menu in iPhoto). That adds them to the Photo Stream as well.
But the biggest problem with this is, that saving back to the Camera Roll after editing in iPhoto appears to be changing all dates and the lens information anad Camera Make is now missing from the EXIF..
The photo I took yesterday should show the dates like this: Sept. 23,
But it is showing Sept. 24 for all dates:
So my suggestion would be to do basic edits in the Camera.app before the photos will be saved to the Camera Roll for the first time, and to postpone all further edits, until the photos are in Aperture. Or, to keep both versions in the camera roll, the original and the edited version.

Downloading Aperture has slowed down photo editing on my iMac. Should I delete iPhoto?

Downloading Aperture has slowed down photo editing on my iMac. Should I delete iPhoto?

So it was only the initial preprocessing after an import of a complete library. If your system drive is nearly full, you should expect performance problems. Try to free at least 20% of your drive.
I would try to keep your iPhoto Application - it is only 1.1 GB and you may need it later; but you can safely delete the iPhoto Library once you are sure, you imported it successfully. iPhoto can do some things Aperture cannot - e.g. greeting cards, calendars. And it is always nice to have a second application for testing purposes, if something should go wrong.
But make a backup copy of the iPhoto Library, just in case. Sometimes you will notice years later that a single image not imported correctly, and then you will be glad you still have a backup of the original iPhoto library.

Is there any editing capability in photo for the iPad?

Is there any way to use just the iPad and Photos to edit or create a new album, or select photos from the entire library to make a smaller slide show?

No. You need a third party app. PhotoPad by ZAGG is a free photo editor and it really has nice features for a freebie. There are apps for sorting into folders as well PhotoSort for iPad is one but I cannot testify to it's usefulness and it's features since I do not have it.
When iOS 5 arrives in the fall, photo editing and album creation is supposed to be an new included feature.

Exporting Aperture photos to an external HD while keeping existing folder structure

Hi,
I have over 300gb of photos on my MBP. I need to export the photos onto an external Hard Drive and keep the existing folder structure. How can this be done?
My source for the Aperture library is iPhoto. I know that I can 'show package contents' from right clicking the iPhoto library, but this only displays the masters. I need the versions as I have done many edits on the majority of photos. I am fine with having the photos separated out by date - renaming the folder isn't a problem. I just don't want to have to sort through ALL of my photos and place them into different folders.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for the information everyone! I apologize if I'm not being clear.
Here are a few call outs:
1. I have my aperture library and iPhoto synced (the source of all my photos is iPhoto. I exclusively use Aperture for photo editing however).
2. I am actually using a work computer and I am leaving the company. Therefore I need to give the computer back. I will be 'uninstalling' Aperture and eventually erasing all the photos.
3. I don't know what my next photo editing computer will be at this point as I have not purchased one.
4. Since I don't know my next computer, I would like to have all of my existing "Folders" and "Projects" (as Aperture defines them) on an external drive so I can pick and pull the ones I would like to view / edit.
5. On my next computer, I would not like to import my exact settings / folder structure from Aperture. I will be starting fresh. With that said, I would prefer to have all my existing "Folders" and "Projects" in one giant folder called "Pictures" on my external HD.
Example folder structure on my External HD:
Folder 1: Pictures
Folder 1a: Aperture "Folder" 1
Folder 1ai: Aperture "Project" 1
Folder 1aii: Aperture "Project" 2
Folder 1b: Aperture "Folder" 2
Folder 1bi: Aperture "Project" 1
Folder 1bii: Aperture "Project" 2
I have roughly 90 "Projects" inside about 5 "Folders". Of course I can create a folder on my external HD, select all the pictures, and click export for every single one of my "Projects", but I would prefer not do to that as it is incredibly time consuming. I am looking for an automated way of copying all my photos to an external drive while maintaining my existing folder / projects hierarchy into what 'finder' defines as 'folders'.
Although I would like to keep my 'masters' and 'versions', my original thought was to just export the versions. So actually, I guess just 'moving' the entire library would work. But since I don't know what computer I will work on and I may be on a temporary computer (install Aperture and manually select photos to import and work on), I wanted to have them be in a folder structure for easy importing and viewing if I wanted to on any mac.
My existing structure in Aperture are Folders --> Projects.
In order to copy my entire library, I have gone into (from finder) "Hard Drive" > Users > Wingmandan > Pictures > iPhoto Library. I have taken that icon and dragged into my external HD. It was 300 gb, and took about 8 horus to complete.
Desired end result
-Be able to quickly reference/view the versions of my pictures on any mac through my external HD (Versions)
-Be able to choose what photos to import based upon my existing 'folders' and 'projects' into my next computer (Versions and Masters)
-Have a full backup of my Aperture Library
I hope this makes more sense and I'm a bit more clear. Again, thanks again for your help. I need to return the laptop by the end of the week.

What photo editing software is everyone using and why?

I am trying to find a good photo editing software to use and before spending any money on it would like to hear everyones opinion on what they use and why? Originally I intended on purchasing aperture ... but I am under the impression that aperture is being discontinued so now I am searching again ... thanks for everyones input in advance....

If after trying out iPhoto's editing capabilities for a while you find you want more capability give Adobe Photoshop Elements for Mac a try. It's reasonably priced and can do about 75% or so of what the full Photoshop can do like these:
There's a free, open source application that's a lot like the full Photoshop: GIMP for Mac. Another full featured editor along these same lines is Pixelmator.
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Pixelmator - $60
GIMP for Mac - Free
So there are a lot of choices out there to investigate.
