Can Aperture do Panoramas and HDR ?

Hi
I Would like to buy Aperture, however I can nowhere find relevant information considering wheter Aperture relly can stich photography together to create a panorama. or HDR. I found it to be the very basic of function in photography editing software, yet iPhoto canot do them so if Aperture is to be "professional aplication" I think that it ought to do this.

No, Aperture does not support HDR or panorama stitching.
Aperture does different things - develope and enhance (raw) images to perfection and organize your photo library for efficient storage and easy retrieval of your photos.
For graphics compositing - layers, panoramo stitching - you can extend the functionalilty by installing one of the many plug-ins that are available, or set up other tools as external editors.
I use Panorama Maker for panorama stitching, but you may want to check out the free
Hugin.

Your parental controls are likely restricting you: Settings>General>Restrictions, then toggle to "ALL" on shows/movies etc

Can Aperture 3 alone-and a pro printer, deliver museum quality prints?

I have been looking around for master classes in museum quality printing, but all the classes I know of use either Photoshop or Light Room (and Epson printers - while I own a Canon.) So I am off to a bad start here.
I don't mind buying another, better pro printer, but leaving Aperture 3 behind and starting another (steepr) learning curve with new software to follow advanced printing classes is a daunting idea.
Any ideas from anyone with museum quality printing?
Thanks,
Raphael

Raphael -- your question is unanswerable without a definition of "museum quality".
If you have "museum quality" images, you can make "museum quality" prints from within Aperture. Aperture's print engine is very good. It may be that in order to make the prints you want, you will use other print engines. There is nothing in Aperture that degrades the print quality of the images you import.
As Frank points out, the difficult aspects are color management and dynamic range. These have more to do with the color space in which you work, and the equipment used to work on it, than on Aperture itself.
Whether Aperture can meet your needs -- "enough of the type of adjustments required to produce an adjusted image capable of producing a superb quality print" -- is only determinable by you. There is very very little you can't do using the brushed adjustments.
Fwiw, I've printed 24 MP images on Epson 9900 printers at 24 x 36 inches and been entirely pleased.

Aperture 2, scripting and "HDR"

Good morning,
Unfortunately, I am not aware of an HDR plug-in for Aperture, and creating HDR photos is a bit of a hassle. I've been thinking about ways to make it a little easier. In this context, I recently read that one of the nice improvements of Aperture 2 is that it is scriptable. I have zero experience with scripting, but I am wondering whether the following would be possible:
- Take a photo in Aperture, after it has been color-corrected, cropped etc. and make two new version of this photo, one with exposure set to +1 and one with exposure set to -1,
- export all three into a folder,
- delete the two version with exposures +1/-1.
So essentially the idea is to export three different versions of a photo. These can then be used to generate an "HDR" picture (not a real HDR, since it would be based on a single photo, but for most purposes it would do). Right now I am doing this manually, but ideally, generating and exporting different versions would be done with a single click of a mouse or keyboard shortcut.
Has anyone ever written such a script, or something similar (that I could take as starting point)?
Many thanks,
PM

Aperture has always been scriptable. It's just that each version adds a few more scriptable features...

Adjustments are one of the bits which aren't scriptable. Creating and deleting Versions isn't too easy, either.

To be honest, you won't get a lot out of this approach that you couldn't get from careful use of the Highlights & Shadows and levels adjustments. I know, I've been doing 'medium' DR imaging for 4-5 years now.

Can Aperture import keywords and ratings from Lightroom?

Decided to download the Aperture trial, and imported 17,000 images without a problem until I realised that my keywords and star ratings are missing (and even some vertical shots are horizontal).
Is there a way to get Aperture to look at the sidecar files generated by Lightroom? Without that I'm unlikely to use Aperture for anything other than books that iPhoto can't do.
Thanks,
Nigel

Unfortunately, no.
It might be possible by use of AppleScript (the script would need to parse the XML files and put this data into Aperture), but this would not be trivial to write and to the best of my knowledge nobody has done it.
It's a shame, as Aperture can export XMP sidecar files so LR will pick up Aperture ratings and keywords (but not adjustments) just fine.

I installed update 5.7.1, and can not find the new panorama, or HDR features. I watched the tutorial for the location. Does LR 5 not support these features?

Are the Panorama and HDR features not supported in LR 5.7.1?
I installed the update, but they do not show where the tutorial shows below Photo/Edit In.

These features are only in Lightroom 6/Lightroom CC, and you would have to purchase Lightroom CC or Lightroom 6 (or use the 30-day free trial and then purchase it).

How can I change RAW and Tiff files to jpeg in Aperture 3

How can I change RAW & Tiff to jpeg in Aperture3

The purpose of Aperture is storing and managing image files including RAW and TIFF, generally users don't change the image format once it is in the library, there is no need.
If you want a jpeg version of an image for use elsewhere, you simply export it from Aperture, there are numerous ways of getting images out of APerture depending on what you plan to do with them, e.g. File>Export>Version gives you a lot of choices as to the format and quality of your exported file.

How can I get GV and HDV files imported to Premier Elements 13. I know now that they are not supported. But does it exist ways to get them. I use camera HDR-HS7E?

What is this HDR-HS7E - a miniDV camcorder that lets you do DV and HDV capture firewire?
True, the DV and HDV capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 13 Capture window is gone. But, have you
looked at the workaround suggested by PRE_help in this forum. The workaround is found in the following

When your schedule permits, please let us know if that worked for you.

After upgrading to Aperture 3 I had to 'upgrade' all files. When this was done, there was an Aperture 3 library and the original Aperture 2 library. Are the two libraries identical and can I safely trash the Aperture 2 library?

If the upgrade completed successfully and you are running Aperture 3 on the converted library and you're sure all the images that were in the old library are in the new library then you could delete the Aperture 2 library.
However I'm the paranoid type and when it comes to deleting images I'm always hesitant. If you can fine a place to archive the old library that would be your a better option.
At a minimum I would keep the old library around for a month or so after switching to Aperture 3 just to make sure in case something pops up.

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported

I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported! Why is it taken so long and seem to stop but the activity status goes up ever so slowley???? Im using an iMac 7,1 2.4 GHz with 6GB of memory running 10.8.2 what am I doing wrong???

Rendering will take a very long time - I once needed 6 hours for a shorter high definition movie with plenty of effects.
What theme are you using and what settings?
The "places" theme needs a good network connection.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space. Have you checked the available space on your disk?
What exactly happens when Aperture fails to render the movie? Are there any diagnostics, error messages in the console window, that relate to Aperture? Does Aperture alway stop at the same image or video clip?
if all fails, you could render your slideshow in two parts and combine the two videos on your DVD.

I have lost the apertures, trash, sent and outbox. Can anyone help me?

I have lost the apertures trash,sent, and outbox on my iPad. Can anyone help me get them back?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

When I imported my photos from iPhoto to Aperture, I appear to have lost all my keywords. Can I retrieve them and, if so, how?

Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.

Aperture File System and Other "Features"

I am currently researching how well Aperture fits into the HDR workflow since it seems to pack all image files into its own filesystem or library where the individual files lose their identity and accessibility through the Mac filesystem. I don't know this to necessarily be true, but right now I believe it to be. If so, I believe it rules-out Aperture for my serious use. There are many things I like about it, but I need to be able to easily bounce image files around to many different applications and the Aperture interface/filesystem seems to make the task too cumbersome. Also, from reading this forum I believe that when you import RAW files into Aperture they are automatically manipulated. Something I need to understand more about also. Finally, I like to be in charge of when I save a change I've made to an image and not have it done for me.

Not necessarily. You can run the library in Referenced mode.

Depending on your intended use, the Aperture library is available in every Open... dialogue in the OS.

Absolutely untrue.

Aperture Imports Duplicates and Triplicates of Photos from my iPhone 6 Plus

When I import photos from my iPhone 6 Plus, Aperture imports duplicates and triplicates of the identical photo randomly. This results in hours of going back through all of the Projects in Aperture and manually deleting the duplicates.
I thought that maybe I was mistaking standard and HDR versions of the same photo, or even burst shots that looked very similar, but this isn't the case. It is the same file name followed by a (1), (2), and sometimes a (3). I also know this isn't the case, because my Camera Roll has about 1,200 photos and videos on it (I stopped importing photos to my hard drive a while ago because of the duplicates, hoping an update would come out to fix the problem), but Aperture tells me that it is going to import over 4,000 photos from my iPhone 6 Plus, not the 1,200 that is on it. This is because of a bug that is double and triple counting many of the photos and videos.
Interestingly enough, Image Capture recognizes only the 1,200 photos on the iPhone, but I'm reluctant to use it because it won't append the Metadata that I have preset in Aperture or automatically run the preset enhancements. I also don't use Image Capture so I'm not sure if it might leave out any Metadata or have some other drawback that I'm not aware of.
So far I've don't he standard troubleshooting, have restarted my iMac and iPhone 6 Plus, ran repair permissions, waited for an update, etc. but I still have the same problem.
I've all but given up on Aperture and am waiting anxiously for the Apple to release the new Photos software, but I need to spend time to work around this bug before then. I can't leave this many photos and videos on my iPhone and need to get them imported into Aperture.
Is there an obvious fix to this that I'm overlooking?

If Image Capture imports correctly, use it to import to a folder and then import that folder to Aperture. You can use the same presets when importing from a folder as when importing from a camera of iPhone.
The same buggy behavior has been reported for iPhoto, since the iOS 8.1 release. It happens in iPhoto, Image Capture, Aperture, but not all are seeing this problem.
For example, see these discussions:
iPhoto Yosemite duplicates Photos while importing from iPhone
iPhoto 9.6 shows duplicate photos present on iPhone
Connecting iPhone duplicates photos in iPhoto
duplicate photos in camera roll on iPhoto
Unfortunately, there is no clear picture yet, what circumstances will make it happen, and how to prevent it.
For some forum members it was the Photo Stream (Duplication upon importation from Iphone to Iphoto), others found it was caused by HDR photos, for some the problem went away after the 8.1.2 update, for others it started with this update.
A few forum members reported, that it helped to dismount the iPhone and plug it in again (iPhoto 9.6 shows duplicate photos present on iPhone), and then the duplicates went away. One member reported, that Apple Support claimed this problem to be caused by iCloud iPhoto libary (Beta), and indeed turning off iCloud iPhoto libary (Beta) made he duplicates vanish for him.
