Caption from Aperture 2 disappeared?

I have just installed Aperture 2 (trial version) to test it out. It is working out well, except when it comes to exporting to MobileMe gallery. The meta info, especially Captions, do not appear on the published MobileMe gallery.
Has anyone any insight into this?

This same thing it happening to me. I can't find a particular pattern as to what is causing it. I have found some reports that there is an Aperture bug that whenever a master is modified (like by adding a geotag), Aperture blanks some of the data.

  • Importing Captions from Aperture or iPhoto

    I am creating a web site with iWeb. When I add pictures to iWeb from Aperture or iPhoto, the version name shows but not the Caption. How do I get the full Caption to show?

    Cannot import captions from Aperture to iWeb per Apple support.

  • IWeb Photo Captioning from Aperture Metadata

    I'm not sure if this should be under iWeb or Aperture. I use Aperture 2.1 and iWeb '08 2.0.3. In iWeb I have albums of photos from Aperture. When using the media browser for adding Aperture photos into iWeb, the standard nomenclature is for the iWeb caption to use the Aperture 'Version Name'. Since iWeb can be set to have more than one caption line, I was wondering if there was a way to map Aperture metadata into the multiple lines of iWeb photo captions? As it is, any additional iWeb caption lines have to be added manually. Can this additional caption information be added automatically?

    I'm banging my head on this too.. I prefer to use iWeb for several reasons: one is that I publish to a non-Apple webhost; and I prefer the editing capabilities of iWeb vs Aperture/iPhoto -- plus the templates are more varied.
    It's hard to believe that Apple doesn't provide this extremely basic capability. I've noticed other threads on this & it doesn't seem that it's possible.

  • Is there a way to copy captions from Aperture to iLife applications?

    I've entered a bunch of info into Aperture in the caption metadata field. I want to publish some of my photos using iLife applications......iDVD, iWeb. Is there any way to copy the info in my captions field so that I can attach the same info in the comments/caption field in the other apps?
    I'm new at this......so, I'm looking for some help. One of the reasons I want to use iWeb is that it will allow me to make a blog - so that viewers can respond to each photo. I'm trying to identify people in photos....and I already have a lot of info in the caption field and want to display it on the Internet.
    thanks!

    If nothing else works, you will have to export the images with metadata included and then reimport those images into your other applications. There may be a better way though -- I'm not an iWeb user.

  • Importing and displaying captions from Aperture to iPhoto

    I'm using Aperture as my main photo library, then exporting select pictures with a copyright watermark on them. Then I'm importing those watermarked photos into iPhoto so that I can drag them into albums in iWeb (so the watermarks show).
    I'd like for the captions to show under the photos in iPhoto, but instead the keywords do. I can't find a place to require iPhoto to display the captions other than the little caption window in the lower left of the window.
    Problem is, I need the captions to chow up ultimately under the photos in the iWeb albums, but they don't. Instead, it's the keywords that show up, just like they do in iPhoto. My reasoning is that if I can get the captions to display under the photo in iPhoto, they will do the same in iWeb (I could be wrong on this).
    So the ultimate question is: how to get iPhoto to import and display Aperture-entered captions and then pass them on to iWeb.
    I've seen a few variants on this topic, but none that specifically address this issue.

    Randy
    There is no way to make iPhoto display the captions under the Photos in iPhoto. For specific help with iWeb, try posting on that forum.

  • Why does a face show up on my iPad when I have deleted it from aperture

    I am using aperture to tag a modestly large library (about 22,000 photos) all for personal use. I've been going through these photos and tagging faces. As a sort of "holding pen" for faces that I wasn't sure about in the unnamed faces strip at the bottom of the faces page, I put ?? (i.e., two question marks) as the name for a bunch of photos. Then I went through that face and either put the right name in, when I was able to see the full picture, or deleted the face - i.e., clicked the little x in the upper right hand corner of the box surrounding the face.
    Most of the images disappeared just fine, and the "??" face no longer appears on the cork board in my aperture. I can find no evidence anywhere that I can see that the ?? face tag still exists in aperture.
    But it must, because when I sync with my ipad, there is a face called ?? and there are pictures in it. When I look at those pictures in aperture on my Mac, I can't find the face - I must have deleted it.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
    I have been having trouble with aperture syncing in other ways - I was getting a variety of errors in itunes when syncing the ipad - and so have gone through many steps, including repairing permissions in my aperture database, repairing the database, regenerating previews, turning synchronization off and on, repairing permissions on my hard drive, deleting the preferences (plist) file, and so forth, but even doing a clean installation of the photos onto my ipad (i.e., turning off sync and deleting photos on ipad, then turning it back on and putting the photos back on from aperture after doing all the above steps), I am STILL getting this ?? face.
    All help will be gratefully received.

    Homesharing has issues that have not been fixed over several versions of itunes and ios.
    Only kind of fix is go back through your library and retag it.

  • What file size is used for when uploading to MobileMe from Aperture?

    When I upload my photo files from Aperture (and previously from iPhoto) I routinely use the upload setting named "dowloading of optimized" files.  I know that this downsizes the files for faster upload/download, but still gives a file size acceptable for great onscreen presentation and for a resulting small print of someone downloads.  Can anyone tell what downsizing Aperture does in this case?  For example, 50% jpeg, email sized jpeg, etc.  Since Apple will kill the MobileMe galleries in June I have to switch to another photo presentation host.  For upload to such a host Aperture gives choices like 100% jpeg, 50% jpeg, etc.  What I want to do is end up with something similar to what I now get with the "optimized" setting.  Thank you.

    You will note that I referenced both programs (iPhoto & Aperture) in my original message above, and I have posted in both forums.  Since both programs offer the same (at least on the surface) option of "optimized" to MobileMe galleries, one might assume that both use the same or a similar system.  Lengthly testing of my own is the "best" solution only if I can not find anyone who is knowledgeable about what these programs do in the upload.  It has been my sincere joy over many many years that I often find people on these forums who possess knowledge much greater than I.  As to the programs changing the algorithum at any time, I doubt that since this MobileMe function will disappear in June.  Seems like a strange time to make changes. 

  • Weird workaround for syncing from Aperture

    I sometimes regret moving from iPhoto to Aperture. It ought to be an improvement, but there are problems with iPhone syncing. Lots of posts here about that. I have my iPhone 4 set to sync all photos from Aperture. I noticed some individual photos were not syncing from a particular album. Could not figure out why. Noticed that these photos were the only ones in the album without keywords. Added a keyword, and then they synced. But this does not seem to be uniform. I looked at other photos in my Aperture library also did not have keywords, but they synced. Wonder if it has something to do with the fact that those pictures that were not syncing were added to my library using a card reader rather than connecting the camera (Canon EOS digital Rebel). Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts . . .

    You’re welcome.
    can I just delete all of the messages in my .mac inbox periodically
    once I know they have all been copied to both computers?
    Yes. Beware, however, that copying the messages may cause things such as clicking on the reply arrow to find the reply to a message to stop working because the copy may not be recognized as being the same message. You may want to check whether things work as you expect before getting rid of the original messages.
    If I delete them in the .mac inbox in mail I presume they will
    disapear from the server?
    If you delete them from the account’s Inbox in Mail or from the server via webmail, they’ll disappear from everywhere as a result of Mail synchronizing with the server.
    Actually, if you move the messages to a locally stored mailbox, instead of copying them, that’s enough to remove them from the server (and from the other computer) as well.
    Thus, you may want to designate one of your computers as the “master” and move the messages there instead of copying them after having copied them on the other.
    there is no way of automating the deleting of messages from the
    inbox after a period of time.
    There is a way by setting up a rule that invokes an AppleScript that forces the rules to be evaluated for already existing messages. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts’ Filter Sent Messages script illustrates how this technique works. I don’t recommend you to do that for what you want to accomplish, though.

  • IDVD slideshow pics from Aperture

    I want to create a slideshow, no music using full screen pics from Aperture. I want it to loop over and over. How can I set up the slideshow not using an Apple theme? Also how can I create a slide of a logo that is not a photo?
    Thanks,Phil.

    Hi Phil,
    The themes in iDVD are for the menu, and will disappear once the user starts the slideshow. You can drag a slideshow to the Autoplay position (use the Map/Outline view to see this) so the slideshow automatically starts when the DVD is inserted. And there is an option to loop the slideshow video.
    You can use third party software to create the slideshow, but iPhoto and iMovie both will work fine to create the video version of your slideshow (you'll need to set timing, transitions, etc.). iPhoto can Share/Export a slideshow to Quicktime video. You can drag and drop this video into the Autoplay position. iDVD can also create slideshows, but I prefer the other two options.
    None of this software distinguishes between a photo jpeg and a logo in jpeg format. Like your photos, you'll want to get the orientation correct (traditional TV is a 4:3 ratio, and widescreen is 16:9) or you'll have black bars framing your photos.
    Resolution of your logo or photo doesn't matter (they are being displayed on a TV at 72dpi), but the size of the image can be a factor. Surprisingly, huge images may actually look worse on a TV than smaller images (to a point). Images from a DVD on a full screen, conventional TV are approx 640x480 pixels; larger images are scaled down and if you scale them down in Aperture, the results can be better than if they're scaled during the conversion to video. There's lots of forum discussion on getting the best quality slideshows, so search and get other views and techniques.

  • ICC help for printing to my Canon IP5200 from Aperture

    Am trying to find some ICC color profiles for my Canon IP 5200r printer. Since my reinstallation of Aperture my Canon profiles for the IP 5200 have disappeared. I looked for them on my old printer profiles.  i did find some profiles that i had made mysef but no canon provided profiles.
    I have gone to the Canon website and look for ICC profiles on their site and cannot find any. Any suggestions on what ICC profile settings to use to print from aperture to my canon 5200r.  Any suggestions

  • Unlogged Missing Photos After Import From Aperture

    Hi!
    I have just made the switch from Aperture to Lightroom, and have use the 1.1 version of the Aperture import plugin.
    In my Aperture Library I have, according to the Library -> Photos: 11105 Photos, however after importing to Lightroom, I have only 10967 photos. I have checked the import log, and there were 4 items which failed to import - 3 were .mpo files (panoramas from an xPeria) and 1 was a .gif file. This leaves a deficit of 133 photos that I can't account for.
    Is there any way to compare the aperture library to the lightroom library to see what is missing?

    *WARNING* Once agin, this is a VERY long post! And this contains not only SQL, but heaps of command line fun!
    TLDR Summary: Aperture is storing duplicates on disk (and referencing them in the DB) but hiding them in the GUI. Exactly how it does this, I'm not sure yet. And how to clean it up, I'm not sure either. But if you would like to know how I proved it, read on!
    An update on handling metadata exported from Aperture. Once you have a file, if you try to view it in the terminal, perhaps like this:
    $ less ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt
    "ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt" may be a binary file.  See it anyway?
    you will get that error. Turns out I was wrong, it's not (only?) due to the size of the file / line length; it's actually the file type Aperture creates:
    $ file ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt
    ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text, with very long lines
    The key bit being "Little-endian UTF-16", that is what is causing the shell to think it's binary. The little endian is not surprising, after all it's an X86_64 platform. The UTF-16 though is not able to be handled by the shell. So it has to be converted. There are command line utils, but Text Wrangler does the job nicely.
    After conversion (to Unicode UTF-8):
    $ file ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt
    ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt: ASCII text, with very long lines
    and
    $ less ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt
    Version Name    Title   Urgency Categories      Suppl. Categories       Keywords        Instructions    Date Created    Contact Creator Contact Job Title       City    State/Province  Country Job Identifier  Headline        Provider        Source  Copyright Notice        Caption Caption Writer  Rating  IPTC Subject Code       Usage Terms     Intellectual Genre      IPTC Scene      Location        ISO Country Code        Contact Address Contact City    Contact State/Providence        Contact Postal Code     Contact Country Contact Phone   Contact Email   Contact Website Label   Latitude        Longitude       Altitude        AltitudeRef
    So, there you have it! That's what you have access to when exporting the metadata. Helpful? Well, at first glance I didn't think so - as the "Version Name" field is just "IMG_2104", no extension, no path etc. So if we have multiple images called "IMG_2104" we can't tell them apart (unless you have a few other fields to look at - and even then just comparing to the File System entries wouldn't be possible). But! In my last post, I mentioned that the Aperture SQLite DB (Library.apdb, the RKMasters table in particular) contained 11130 entries, and if you looked at the Schema, you would have noticed that there was a column called "originalVersionName" which should match! So, in theory, I can now create a small script to compare metadata with database and find my missing 25 files!
    First of all, I need to add that, when exporting metadata in Aperture, you need to select all the photos! ... and it will take some time! In my case TextWrangler managed to handle the 11108 line file without any problems. And even better, after converting, I was able to view the file with less. This is a BIG step on my last attempt.
    At this point it is worth pointing out that the file is tab-delimited (csv would be easier, of course) but we should be able to work with it anyway.
    To extract the version name (first column) we can use awk:
    $ cat ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt | awk -F'\t' '{print $1}' > ApertureMetadataVersionNames.txt
    and we can compare the line counts of both input and output to ensure we got everything:
    $ wc -l ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt
       11106 ApertureMetadataExtendedExport.txt
    $ wc -l ApertureMetadataVersionNames.txt
       11106 ApertureMetadataVersionNames.txt
    So far, so good! You might have noticed that the line count is 11106, not 11105, the input file has the header as I printed earlier. So we need to remove the first line. I just use vi for that.
    Lastly, the file needs to be sorted, so we can ensure we are looking in the same order when comparing the metadata version names with the DB version names.
    $ cat ApertureMetadataVersionNames.txt | sort > ApertureMetadataVersionNamesSorted.txt
    To get the Version Names from the DB, fire up sqlite3:
    $ sqlite3 Library.apdb
    sqlite> .output ApertureDBMasterVersionNames.txt
    sqlite> select originalVersionName from RKMaster;
    sqlite> .exit
    Checking the line count in the DB Output:
    $ wc -l ApertureDBMasterVersionNames.txt
       11130 ApertureDBMasterVersionNames.txt
    Brilliant! 11130 lines as expected. Then sort as we did before:
    $ cat ApertureDBMasterVersionNames.txt | sort > ApertureDBMasterVersionNamesSorted.txt
    So, now, in theory, running a diff on both files, should reveal the 25 missing files.... I must admit, I'm rather excited at this point!
    $ diff ApertureDBMasterVersionNamesSorted.txt ApertureMetadataVersionNamesSorted.txt
    IT WORKED! The output is a list of changes you need to make to the second input file to make it look the same as the first. Essentially, this will (in my case) show the Version Names that are missing in Aperture that are present on the File System.
    So, a line like this:
    1280,1281d1279
    < IMG_0144
    < IMG_0144
    basically just means, that there are IMG_0144 appears twice more in the DB than in the Metadata. Note: this is specific for the way I ordered the input files to diff; although you will get the same basic output if you reversed the input files to diff, the interpretation is obviously reversed) as shown here: (note in the first output, we have 'd' for deleted, and in the second output it's 'a' for added)
    1279a1280,1281
    > IMG_0144
    > IMG_0144
    In anycase, looking through my output and counting, I indeed have 25 images to investigate. The problem here is we just have a version name, fortunately in my output, most are unique with just a couple of duplicates. This leads me to believe that my "missing" files are actually Aperture handling duplicates (though why it's hiding them I'm not sure). I could, in my DB dump look at the path etc as well and that might help, but as it's just 25 cases, I will instead get a FS dump, and grep for the version name. This will give me all the files on the FS that match. I can then look at each and see what's happening.
    Dumping a list of master files from the FS: (execute from within the Masters directory of your Aperture library)
    $ find . -type f > ApertureFSMasters.txt
    This will be a list including path (relative to Master) which is exactly what we want. Then grep for each version name. For example:
    $ grep IMG_0144 ApertureFSMasters.txt
    ./2014/04/11/20140411-222634/IMG_0144.JPG
    ./2014/04/23/20140423-070845/IMG_0144 (1).jpg
    ./2014/04/23/20140423-070845/IMG_0144.jpg
    ./2014/06/28/20140628-215220/IMG_0144.JPG
    Here is a solid bit of information! On the FS i have 4 files called IMG_0144, yet if I look in the GUI (or metadata dump) I only have 2.
    $ grep IMG_0144 ApertureMetadataVersionNamesSorted.txt
    IMG_0144
    IMG_0144
    So, there is two files already!
    The path preceding the image in the FS dump, is the date of import. So I can see that two were imported at the same time, and two separately. The two that show up in the GUI have import sessions of 2014-06-28 @ 09:52:20 PM and 2014-04-11 @ 10:26:34 PM. That means that the first and last are the two files that show in the GUI, the middle two do not.... Why are they not in the GUI (yet are in the DB) and why do they have the exact same import date/time? I have no answer to that yet!
    I used open <filename> from the terminal prompt to view each file, and 3 out of my 4 are identical, and the fourth different.
    So, lastly, with a little command line fu, we can make a useful script to tell us what we want to know:
    #! /bin/bash
    grep $1 ApertureFSMasters.txt | sed 's|\.|Masters|' | awk '{print "<full path to Aperture Library folder>"$0}' | \
    while read line; do
      openssl sha1 "$line"
    done
    replace the <full path to Aperture Library folder> with the full path to you Aperture Library Folder, perhaps /volumes/some_disk_name/some_username/Pictures/.... etc. Then chmod 755 the script, and execute ./<scriptname> <version name> so something like
    $ ./calculateSHA.sh IMG_0144
    What we're doing here is taking in the version name we want to find (for example IMG_0144), and we are looking for it in the FS dump list. Remember that file contains image files relative to the Aperture Library Master path, which look something like "./YYYY/MM/DD/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS/<FILENAME>" - we use sed to replace the "./" part with "Masters". Then we pipe it to awk, and insert the full path to aperture before the file name, the end result is a line which contains the absolute path to an image. There are several other ways to solve this, such as generating the FS dump from the root dir. You could also combine the awk into the sed (or the sed into the awk).. but this works. Each line is then passed, one at a time, to the openssl program to calculate the sha-1 checksum for that image. If a SHA-1 matches, then those files are identical (yes, there is a small chance of a collision in SHA-1, but it's unlikely!).
    So, at the end of all this, you can see exactly whats going on. And in my case, Aperture is storing duplicates on disk, and not showing them in the GUI. To be honest, I don't actually know how to clean this up now! So if anyone has any ideas. Please let me know I can't just delete the files on disk, as they are referenced in the DB. I guess it doesn't make too much difference, but my personality requires me to clean this up (at the very least to provide closure on this thread).
    The final point to make here is that, since Lightroom also has 11126 images (11130 less 4 non-compatible files). Then it has taken all the duplicates in the import.
    Well, that was a fun journey, and I learned a lot about Aperture in the process. And yes, I know this is a Lightroom forum and maybe this info would be better on the Aperture forum, I will probably update it there too. But there is some tie back to the Lightroom importer to let people know whats happening internally. (I guess I should update my earlier post, where I assumed the Lightroom Aperture import plugin was using the FS only, it *could* be using the DB as well (and probably is, so it can get more metadata))
    UPDATE: I jumped the gun a bit here, and based my conclusion on limited data. I have finished calculating the SHA-1 for all my missing versions. As well as comparing the counts in the GUI, to the counts in the FS. For the most part, where the GUI count is lower than the FS count, there is a clear duplicate (two files with the same SHA-1). However I have a few cases, where the FS count is higher, and all the images on disk have different SHA-1's! Picking one at random from my list; I have 3 images in the GUI called IMG_0843. On disk I have 4 files all with different SHA-1's. Viewing the actual images, 2 look the same, and the other 2 are different. So that matches 3 "unique" images.
    Using Preview to inspect the exif data for the images which look the same:
    image 1:
    Pixel X Dimension: 1 536
    Pixel Y Dimension: 2 048
    image 2:
    Pixel X Dimension: 3 264
    Pixel Y Dimension: 2 448
    (image 2 also has an extra Regions dictionary in the exit)
    So! These two images are not identical (we knew that from the SHA-1), but they are similar (content is the same - resolution is the same) yet Aperture is treating these as duplicates it seems.. that's not good! does this mean that if I resize an image for the web, and keep both, that Aperture won't show me both? (at least it keeps both on disk though, I guess...)
    The resolution of image 1, is suspiciously like the resolutions that were uploaded to (the original version of) iCloud Photos on the iPhone (one of the reasons I never used it). And indeed, the photo I chose at random here, is one that I have in an iCloud stored album (I have created a screensaver synced to iCloud, to use on my various Mac's and AppleTVs). Examining the data for the cloud version of the image, shows the resolution to be 1536x2048. The screensaver contains 22 images - I theorised earlier that these might be the missing images, perhaps I was right after all? Yet another avenue to explore.
    Ok. I dumped the screensaver metadata, converted it to UTF-8, grabbed the version names, and sorted them (just like before). Then compared them to the output of the diff command. Yep! the 22 screensaver images match to 22 / 25 missing images. The other 3, appear to be exact duplicates (same SHA-1) of images already in the library. That almost solves it! So then, can I conclude that Lightroom has imported my iCloud Screensaver as normal photos of lower res? In which case, it would likely do it for any shared photo source in Aperture, and perhaps it would be wise to turn that feature off before importing to Lightroom?

  • Email From Aperture Problem

    Hi I am having difficulty with emailing photographs from Aperture 3 to Newspapers/ Clients. I use Mail to email them but what happens is that the Emails are Exported from Aperture as Rich Text which I have previously discovered causes issues with viewing/ saving images on some peoples computers.
    My clients find that the images are imbedded in their email, some have told me they can't save them without removing all the caption info etc and some can't save them at all. I realise the difficulty is probably at their end but the customer is always right and it's up to me to work around it.
    I know when the email shows in Mail I can go Format - Make Plain Text but is there any way to get Plain Text by default coming from Aperture 3? I am really in the dark and am assuming that this is my issue but only time will tell.
    I had no such issues in Aperture 2

    Hi,
    I don't know of a way to insure otherwise. The same problem as existed with A2, and from iPhoto for all time. It makes a difference even if no text at all results from the initial export to Compose.

  • Close captioning appears and disappears too fast

    My wife is deaf and depends on closed captioning.  When we use the built-in caption on a FIOS HD/DVR, the speed at which captioning appears and disappears is too fast to read.  If I view the same channel using one of our TVs built in captioning capability, it is fine.  Unfortuately,  we need to use the FIOS captioning capability for a projector that does not have built in captioning.  How do I slow down the speed of the captioning?

    I am having the same problem. I have been told by Verizon support, that they do not offer CC service within their box, and that CC must be turned on from the TV.
    Of course, that doesn't work in High Def mode on our TV, so we are forced to use standard definition, with a high def receiver and TV  
    It is also annoying to use the TV's CC decoder, as the TV CC decoder doesn't disable when you pull up the FiOS guide, therefore making it impossible to read the guide.
     When using the built-in CC service of the Box, the CC service is disabled while using the menus or browsing the guide.
    Comcast, Dishnetwork, and DirecTV all support closed captioning within their set top box. Verizon FIOS Does not ? (even though the box can physically do it, but Verizon has chosen to cripple it)
    I am 99% happy with the Fios quality... but that they are choosing to not support the CC service is disappointing.
