Are image compression methods compatible with Aperture?

Hi,
I was wondering if I could use LZW compression on tiffs prior to importing into Aperture's library? If so, it would cut 8bit tiff file sizes in half.
thanks

LZW-compressed TIFFs are not a problem for Aperture. I've not tried ZIP compression, but it's pretty standard stuff.
Ian
P.S. It only cuts some file sizes in half...

  • Nikon Coolpix P310 compatible with Aperture 3

    I would like to purchase the Coolpix P310 but I read on line that its raw format is not compatible with Aperture 3. 
    Is that the very latest news on this or has this camera been added to those which are now compatible ? 
    If not, is there a way -- that is not too cumbersome or difficult -- to make the raw files from this camera compatible with Aperture 3.
    Is there a download-fix from Aperture that would help with this ?
    Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can assist.   Many thanks ..
    Don

    Here is the latest list of supported cameras OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats it does appear that the p310 is on the list. How long has the camera been released? Nixon's (and Canon's) usually get included fairly quickly so it might be include in the next one or two updates.
    In the meantime there are a couple of things you could do.
    If the camera has a RAW+JPG mode you could shoot in that and import both into Aperture  with the JPG as master. Once the RAW format are supported you could switch over to using the RAW's as master.
    You could shoot in the RAW  &JPG mode and just import the JPG's and keep the RAW's in a folder on your HD. When the RAW's are supported you could import them then.
    You could shoot just RAW and use Adobe's DNG converter to convert the RAW;s into DNG's and import those.
    Which to use depends on a number of factors, hard to say which is best.

  • Is there a tablet that is compatible with aperture 3?

    I have been looking for a tablet that would be compatible with aperture 3.  I talked with someone that was familiar with macs and they didn't think there was one at all.  I really don't want to use photoshop... I'm happy with aperture.  Thanks guys!!

    The Intuos line tablets have a few unique feature advantages over the Bamboo line, but Aperture doesn't take advantage of any of those features.
    Aperture WILL take advantage of the fact that tablets are "pressure sensitive" -- so if you're applying a brushed on adjustment.  Say you're using the "burn" brush to darken an area --  a very light touch will apply a slight amount of "burn" but heavy pressure will apply a much stronger amount of "burn."
    If you're buying a tablet *just* for Aperture, then save yourself a few bucks and buy a tablet in the Bamboo line. If you also need support for drawing & painting apps, then spring for the more expensive Intuous line.
    (Emphasis added.)
    This is mildly misleading.  Aperture takes full advantage of all but two of the Intuos4's additional functions. 
    As I point out below, for these reasons I don't agree with Tim's recommendation.
    The Intuos4 is, compared to the Bamboo Pen & Touch (all based on specs at Wacom's site):
    2x more accurate
    0.5x more responsive
    2x more sensitive to pressure, and
    2x higher in resolution
    All of those are taken advantage of by Aperture.  Additionally, the Intuos4 comes with the TouchRing and  six ExpressKeys, all of which can be easily programmed to execute Aperture commands.  (The Bamboo has 4 ExpressKeys and no TouchRing.)  Also, the Intuos4 includes the fully programmable Radial Menu, which can be a workflow accelerator for Aperture.  (This may be available on the Bamboo -- I just don't know.)
    My recommendation is that, if your are regularly going to use a tablet for making Adjustments and using Aperture, get the Intuos4 Medium.  It that is outside your budget, get the Intuos4 Small.  If you are only going to occasionally use the tablet with Aperture (or only occasionally use Aperture), the Bamboo Pen & Touch may suffice.
    Note, as well, that Wacom's software bundles often completely change the value of some of their products.

  • Is the Nikon GP-1 gps compatible with Aperture 3?

    Is the Nikon GP-1 GPS compatible with Aperture 3?

    "A standard GPS cannot do this, and so in many cases will take 1-2 minutes to get a precise location."
    No, that's completely incorrect. Most modern GPS chipsets will lock onto 3-4 GPS signals within seconds unless you've taken it somewhere far from the last time it was powered up and it has to search from scratch because it has to build a new almanac and ephemeris.
    You're also confused about which technology you're talking about. aGPS or Assisted GPS has nothing to do with triangulation. It can only help improve time-to-fix if the phone has an active data connection so that it can download data that will help the GPS get a fix faster. No internet, no faster TTF.
    Cell tower triangulation is so inaccurate that lawyers know that if presented as evidence it can easily be challenged and thrown out in court cases.

  • Are Nintendo DS headphones compatible with an iPad's headphone jack?

    Are Nintendo DS headphones compatible with an iPad's headphone jack? iPad 3rd gen. Wi-Fi iOS 5.1.1

    Headphones will fit fine. Now if you want to use a headset (speaker+microphone) that's another matter. DS headsets, which have a seperate prong for mic input, are not compatible with the iPad.

  • Image Editing software compatible with ColdFusion (not Clarkii)

    Does anyone know of a good Image Editing software compatible with ColdFusion (not Clarkii)? This tool should allow one to Crop images, change brightness and hue.

    I'm afraid you'll have to be a little more specific.  If you want a client side tool for image manipulation well, that has nothing to do with ColdFusion.  If you want server side image manipulation you'll have to tell us exactly what kind of functionality (over and beyond the existing image manipulation functions) you're looking to do.

  • Are 300 Series switches compatible with pre-standard PoE detection in old Cisco phones?

    Are 300 Series switches compatible with pre-standard PoE detection in old Cisco phones? They don't seem to be (a 7902G won't power on when connected to an SF302-08MP with firmware version 1.1). Is any special configuration needed on the switch to enable this detection?

    Please note that the 200 and 300 Series switches now support Cisco Legacy POE as of September 2011, allowing it to deliver power to 7960, 7940, and other pre-standard phones and APs. Details provided at the following link:

  • Unwanted image compression on laptop with E61

    Hi, I'm using a Nokia E61 with Tmobile Web 'n' Walk Plus to connect my laptop to the internet. No real issues except automatic compression of all images, so that they appear grainy. Mousing over tells me that pressing Shift + R will improve the image quality, and Ctrl + F5 will reload the whole page. But I want quality graphics all the time, and not to have to reload all the time, which of course has the opposite effect of increasing bandwidth, not reducing it! Can anyone tell me how to turn off this compression? There is no obvious way in PC Suite settings that I can see. Cheers.

    What/who is doing image compression for you, exactly?
    How do you transfer your pictures from the phone to your PC?
    Are you using the PC Suite "Store images" feature, or something else (such as the "File manager")? Neither of those does any kind of automatic image compression on my PC, as far as I can tell.

  • Are documents 5.2 compatible with 5.5?

    Simple question!
    I have this big doc like a book full of tables and images.
    Is it fully compatible with pages 5.5?
    If not is there a way to open it with pages 5.2 ? Does the update uninstall the previous version ? (as it was possibile with 4.3...)
    Thanks a lot!

    You're mistaken, applefans. It is very much true that files created in Pages 5.5.x are incompatible with Pages 5.2.x. I have this issue and I have yet to read anyone here or elsewhere who doesn't.
    As you said yourself, to use files created in Pages 5.5 in Page 5.2, you first need to convert the file's format on the machine that has Pages 5.5. That means they're incompatible by default, and apparently you have to extra steps every time you save a new document if you want to force compatibility with the previous version of Pages (for example, my laptop has Yosemite but my work computer has Mavericks).
    Thank you VikingOSX for explaining the situation and a work-around (as well as another thread: Possible to downgrade to Pages 5.2?)
    It's unacceptable that Pages 5.2, only a few months old, can't open native Pages 5.5 files. Who would think going from 5.2 to 5.5 would break compatibility? People on Mavericks should at least be able to update to Pages 5.5 so they can open the files.
    On another website, I also saw someone suggest opening the file on icloud.com on the machine that has Mavericks / Pages 5.2.x. Haven't tried it yet myself, but it makes sense that this should work to at least be able to access a file that otherwise won't open at all on Mavericks.

  • Are there any Apps compatible with Aventail VPN?

  • Are there any displays compatible with 14" iBook G4???

    I've been doing a lot of video editing etc. on my computer for a while now and school work is piling up. I'm planning on getting an iMac next summer but I would really like to be able to use my ibook as a desktop computer. From what I have read none of the displays that apple currently sells are compatible with ibooks because of the graphics card or something. I found out though that you can have a display connected and use both screens. But is there a way that you can have your computer running and closed with an external display to use the computer like on all the new macbooks? I don't need it to be a apple monitor or anything i just need to know if there is any solution..

    as a guess, any LCD with VGA input supposed to work thru a little VGA adapter that comes with the iBook.
    you could probably work with the display lowered if there is something (thin plastic etc) is placed between the base and the display, sleep is activated by the magnetic switch in the display and the magnet at the base
    working with the display lowered could cause heat issues probably, maybe not a good idea

  • Is Viveza compatible with Aperture 3?

    I have recently moved my digital world to a slightly bigger and faster iMac and have been experiencing some problems with Viveza. I had previously been using Viveza (v2.0.0.4), with Leopard OSX 10.5.8 and Aperture 2.1.4 with some good results. However, since upgrading to Aperture 3.1.3 and Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 I have been having problems. Has any body else found this? Mine seem to be, that after placing say six or so control points, the program just freezes and becomes totally unresponsive and the only way out is to force quit. I'm trying to nail this one, not sure if it is an Aperture problem, an OSX compatibility thing with Viveza?
