Camera Metadata and Aperture ?

Hello A2 testers ,
Does the lens info appear in the A2 metadata panel now ? Or do we still have to had it by hand even if the info is inside the exif ?
Regards,

Interesting, I just saw the lens Model metadata. I have a Canon 350D camera and 2 EF L lenses + 1 EF-S lens.
The last one put the information to the exif field but not the L lenses.
Anyway Tx !

  • Adobe Camera Raw and Aperture

    Ok.. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because if what I am saying is actually true, then Aperture has some seriously frustrating issues.
    I use Aperture 3 to organize my photos and to do minor corrections, but the majority of my photo editing takes place in Photoshop CS5. I shoot in Raw so I expect to be able to use Adobe's wonderful Camera Raw plugin before opening a photo in Photoshop.
    Aperture gives you the ability to edit a photo in Photoshop and have the edited photo go back into Aperture. Thats a great feature. Unfortunately, it seems that if I try to send a raw photo from aperture to photoshop, it will not open in the Adobe Camera Raw plug in. It simply opens in photoshop. If I just drag the thumbnail from aperture into photoshop, it will open the camera raw dialogue and everythings great.. but if I do it that way, it will not update in aperture once I am done editing.
    It would be totally fine if I could just save the photoshop file and reimport it into aperture, but when I do that, it just shows up as a blank white photo, instead of the actual photo.
    So long story short there is no way to use Aperture AND adobe camera raw. I don't want to use Bridge.
    or is there???? Please give me a solution here or I want my money back.
    Or is there a way to reopen the camera raw function in photoshop, once the photo is already opened?
    Thanks for your help!

    I understand your concern, as I wondered the same thing. You might want to read http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11666552&#11666552
    regarding a possible workflow for your situation (altho' they are using CS3, not CS5).
    I use CS4 but want to move to CS5 to get the additional features of ACR (excellent noise reduction, lens-specific aberration controls, etc.) Thus, my interest in using ACR vs AP3 for some of my images.
    I know now that AP3 is doing RAW processing at the moment of import, and that 'file' is no longer able to be processed by ACR via AP3. I was wondering about your trick of dragging the thumbnail to Photoshop and having it open in ACR. I cannot duplicate this, and I've tried different methods. If I could do this, that would be half the battle. (Can you enlighten me?) I will also take a look at Catapult.
    I know of no way to open ACR while an image is open in Photoshop (APS). The plugin seems to kick in only when you open it from Bridge or the Finder.
    Regarding the blank white photo, I'm assuming it is a PSD with no thumbnail. I have seen this when I import 'old' PSD's into AP3. I fixed this by going into the Preferences in APS, under File Handling/File Compatibility make sure you set 'Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility' to 'Always'. Then, you must open the blank white photo files and Save As... the same file name to overwrite the blank one. You should then see the thumbnail. (Also in APS Preferences, set File Saving Options, Image Preview to 'Always Save').
    Granted, not having the option of easily using ACR is a tough pill to swallow for those of us who are in the Bridge/APS camp. I will readily forgo the 'pleasures' of using Bridge for AP3. I will NEVER give up APS since I need layers and graphic/text capabilities it offers. So a smooth interaction between AP3 and APS is a must for me. However, AP3 offers so much more than Lightroom, that I won't look back, now that I've made the switch. Good luck!

  • Camera Raw and Aperture

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a good workflow between Aperture and Camera Raw (photoshop CS5)?. I would like to edit in Camera Raw, but store my photos in Aperture. My images are referenced images stored on an external hard drive.
    Thank you!

    There isn't one, Aperture and Camera Raw basically do the same thing, develop a digital negative.
    Trying to get them to work together will just lead to fustration.

  • Nikon D70 (NEF/RAW), camera adapter and Aperture?

    I know that the camera adapter supports NEF (RAW) files, and although can't display them, can move them over to a computer.
    So, let's say I have a 60 gig video ipod with a few hundred RAW files that I connect to my G5 after getting back from a trip. Will it trigger my default photo importing app (currently Aperture) when I plug it in? Or is it integrated with iTunes + iPhoto somehow?
    Thanks.

    I'm afraid I can't answer your question.
    However, I myself have a Nikon D70 and I'm currently thinking about getting a 5G 60GB iPod (just because my 4G 40 GB isn't supported) and a camera connector in order to store my holiday photos on the iPod. I also prefer to store my pictures in the Nikon "NEF" format. Did you already successful try whether one can really store the NEF files on the 5G iPod?
    Please drop me a line on that. I would appreciate that very much!

  • HT3805 Sudden problem: Adjustment panel blank (metadata and library OK). Thumbnail shown as file loads but then  image has dark blue cast and is not adjustable.  Have current version of Aperture running.  Help please

    Aperture Help needed: Adjustment panel is blank, although metadata and library panels normal.  Thumbnails appear normal but when RAW (CR2) file is loaded, it appears with a dark blue cast, and does not load into the adjustment panel, and is not adjustable. Suggestions please

    You may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman: Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work
    Good luck.
    Post back, if this does not help.

  • HT201070 I currently use OS 10.6.8 and Aperture 3, and just got a Nikon D600. It seems the the RAW Compatibility updates (4.01) are for use only with OS 10.7.5 or later, is that right? Do I need to update my whole OS to use this camera? Thank you!

    Thanks to Bobthefisherman & Turbostar.  Turns out I've got a corrupted disk (which I found out via "verify disk" on Disk Utility First Aid.  Previously, I never thought to verify disk -- only to repair permissions -- so I never knew my HD had been corrupted.
    Wasn't able to do a clean install of OSX10.6 because my SuperDrive only sporadically will load discs, so I am taking it to the Apple Store to see if they can do a clean install, and depending upon costs, get the Superdrive replaced. 
    The HD wasn't partioned by the way.  And I did have just over 40GB of contiguous space. 
    Thanks again.

  • How do I include metadata information (aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance) to each image on contact sheet?

    How do I include metadata information (aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance) to each image on contact sheet?

    Just to expand JimHess reply. This are all the EXIF data you can include on a print. As far as I know, WB is not written to any standard EXIF fields.

  • Anyone having problems tethering there camera and aperture 3 after upgrading to OS Lion?

    After installing OSX Lion I have not been able to capture via tether with my Canon 5d and Aperture 3. I can see the camera and tranfer images but I am not able to tether.

    Hi, I guess everyone is having a little bit different tethering issues. Mine was I couldn't get my files transferred into library. I would able to connect the camera, and even fire the shutter from computer, but nothing transferred through. I would just see a message says proccessing, then nothing, and shot counter stays at 0.
    Later on I found the solution for THAT problem. Turned out Aperture was taking pictures, but they stored all my photos in a root folder inside the library, and I was not able to see any previews in the aperture interface, which totally defeated the purpose of tethering. The work around for me after many trail and error was, I had to leave the "Version Name" block to Master File Name when I start a new tethering session. I can not use Custom rename feature, or nothing would get transferred...
    Hope this was your problem, and that's the way to solve it. I know some other people having disc permission issue and USB related issue...

  • I migrated my old IMac to new and Aperture won't let me import from camera

    I migrated old iMac to new and Aperture will not let me import from camera from. Migrating created two users and I get an error message saying I do not have permission write. I have gone to get info and it says I have read and write permissions.

    That's the problem.  Apple doesn't make it clear that you should transfer when the new Mac starts up, not later on with Migration Assistant. 
    which told me to enter a new name . I had the new computer and old with same name. I called the new user my name with word "old" so not the same name as old Mac.
    The problem isn't the names, it's the (mostly hidden) User ID number (UID).  See the pink box in Problems after using Migration Assistant for an explanation of what happened.
    Your best bet is to use one of the workarounds (probably #4) in the green box there, to re-transfer your account.  It will have exactly the same name and permissions as before.
    If you want to change the name, you can, but it takes a minor finagle. Post back if you want to do that.

  • Adding camera make and model to metadata

    Hi All,
    I have a lot of slides to scanned and imported into Lightroom. How can I tag these images using the metadata field Camera Make and Camera Model to reflect my camera make/model.
    Thanks,

    Jim,
    I found it a bit intimidating also, but needed a way to add lens data to some images, so bit the bullet and gave it a try. Had some learning problems along the way, but discovered the ExifTool forum. The author is extremely helpful and always seems to answer w/i 24 hours. The more I use it, the more I like it. Give it a try, it's very powerful.

  • Metadata and Adjustments on Separate Photos

    I'm new to aperture, and I just imported my library from iPhoto. I "consolidated" the files as per Apple's instructions. But now, in some of my albums, single photos have been duplicated and placed in stacks. One of the duplicates contains my adjustments, and the other the metadata (with camera settings, ISO, etc.). Is there a way I can amalgamate the two photos, such that there is only one photo with both the metadata and my adjustments?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joel G

    I should add that the rest of my photos, the ones not in stacks, have no camera info metadata at all.  I would also appreciate if someone could suggest a way of restoring them.

  • Simple Bridge script will not read metadata and triggers Adobe Stock Photos

    I have been trying to learn to write scripts for bridge but can't get past the most basic tasks. When I run the script on an open window in bridge it throws an "Uncaught exception metadata" error. The most bizarre thing is it sometimes causes an Adobe Stock Photo script to launch in the extendscript toolkit and throw and the "Uncaught exception metadata" error in that script. My script is as follows:
    #target "bridge"
    if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge")
    var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails
    for (i=0; i< items.length; i++)
    item = items[i]
    md=item.metadata
    md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
    Window.alert(md.Title)
    Window.alert(i + " "+ " Files Finished")
    Basically I was asking to extract the title of each thumbnail from the metadata and show it in a window. I figured if I could do something as basic as that then I could move on and tackle the more complicated tasks that I need to do.
    Any ideas of what is going on? Has anyone else accidentally triggered Adobe Stock Photos?

    Another bit of info....   As I looked at this further, it seems to be occuring only on those photos where I previously ran camera raw from CS3. I've upgraded to CS5 but have not rerun camera raw since. I understand the camera raw engine in CS3 was different. Could this be involved? Could Lightroom be changing the metadata because the engine is updating the information and I have to save TO file to get this to synch?
    update about this camera raw engine possibilty..... it would not appear to be the answer. I have some files that synch even tho lightroom develop says they are using the 2003 process version. I have some files that are on the new version that won't synch.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

  • What's the best way to merge, restore or reconstruct iPhoto and Aperture libraries to resolve images that are not found/offline?

    Hey there, Apple Support Communities.
    To start, I'm working on a MBP Retina 15" with a 2.3GHz i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM.  10GB free on a 256GB SS HD.  Attached are two external HDs - one 1TB Western Digital portable drive from 2011, one 2TB Porsche LaCie non-portable drive from 2013; both connected via USB.  All photo libraries in question are on the external drives.
    I have Aperture 3.5.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1.  I prefer to work in Aperture.
    The Issue(s)
    Over the years, I have accumulated a number of iPhoto libraries and Aperture libraries.  At one point, I thought my WD drive was dying so I purchased the LaCie and copied all libraries over the the LaCie drive.  (Turns out, there's probably an issue with my USB port reading drives, because I can once again see the WD drive and occasionally I can't see the LaCie drive.)
    So now I have old version of some libraries on the WD drive, and new versions on the LaCie drive.
    When I was moving things, I ran the software Gemini to de-dupe my iPhoto libraries.  Not sure what effect that may have had on my issues.
    In my main Aperture library and in some iPhoto libraries, I get the image-not-found badge or exclamation point.  I've dug through the hidden Masters folders in various libraries to find the original image.  In some cases, I have been able to find the original image, sometimes in a different version of the iPhoto library.
    My Question(s)
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    2.  For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    3.  Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    TL;DR: Too many iPhoto and Aperture libraries, and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    Thank you!  Let me know if you need add'l info to offer advice.
    With appreciation,
    Christie

    That will not be an easy task, Christie.
    I am afraid, your cleaning session with Gemini may have actually removed originals. I have never used this duplicate finder tool, but other posters here reported problems. Gemini seems to replace duplicate original files in photo libraries by links, and this way, deleting images can cause the references for other images to break. And Aperture does not follow symbolic links - at least, I could never get it to find original files this way, when I experimented with this.
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    You have to find the originals yourself. If you can find them or restore them from a backup, Aperture can reconnect them. The reconnect panel can show you, where the originals are supposed to be, so youcan see the filename and make a Spotlight search.
    For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    Make a copy of the missing original you found in a folder outside the iPhoto library. You can either open the iPhoto library in Aperture and use "File > Locate Referenced file" to reconnect the originals, or simply reimport them. Then Lift&Stamp all adjustments and metadata to the reimported version.
    See this manual page on how to reconnect originals:  Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images  (the paragraph:  Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images)
    Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    References images will stay referenced, managed will remain managed. You need to unhide all hidden photos in iPhoto - this cannot be done in Aperture.
    and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    That is probably due to Gemini's replacing duplicate originals by links, and your best cause of action is to fix this before merging the libraries. Reconnecting can be done for your iPhoto libraries in Aperture.
