Conflict Between Aperture and Photoshop/Bridge CS2?

Recently, I noticed a problem in Photoshop/Bridge CS2, that I think may be caused by Aperture.
I shoot D2x .nef's that are fully supported by both programs.
Here's what's happening.
If I go into Bridge and go into a folder of images, some show up as images and others as generic .nef icons. They cannot be opened by either Bridge or ACR. Everything in the CS2 Suite is up-to-date.
After purging all the Bridge caches, and finally reinstalling the entire CS2 suite, I noticed something:
The files that were not working in ACR or Bridge were files that I had played with in Aperture. They are in my Aperture library (wherever that is).
Is there any way that this can be the problem I am trying to solve? If so, how do I get Aperture to "let go of them"? To forget it ever touched them?
I love Aperture, am loyal to Apple, am not unhappy that I invested in this program and am sure it will improve. But, I really need to be able to use all of my images in ACR. Right now, that is my priority.
Thanks in advance for suggestions and help.

Dual G5 2.5, 12"PB Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I'm not sure I know enough to answer the question.
The images are on my G5 on a second internal hard drive (not the boot drive).
They are in a folder with a lot of images from the same shoot.
That folder shows up in the Library in Aperture, also. I think I imported them. But, as best I can tell, they do not "only exist in Aperture" because I can see them, and their .xmp files in the original file on the second internal hard drive.
Thank you so much for trying to help.

Compatibility between Yosemite and Photoshop / Bridge CS5.

I am concerned about the possibility of incompatibility between Yosemite and Photoshop / Bridge CS5 so have delayed updating my Mac. Has anyone updated, experienced problems and found solutions? What does Adobe have to say in this regard?

Picture file handling between Aperture and Photoshop

Hello
I have transferred several photos via "edit in external editor" from aperture to photoshop.
In photoshop I made different operations:
a) just looking (no special manipulations) -> no saving
b) manipulations on a particular photo -> saving via "save" in PS
c) combination of different photos -> saving via "save as" in PS
Meanwhile I have learned, that option C just saves the file in the file system, but does not update the database entry in aperture. I have also found different versions of photos in the file system, which I had just opened in PS (case a). "File system" means in that case, that they are under the folder "masters", when I drill down the Aperture Data File. Case b seems to work OK.
I have now different questions:
why are photos, which I have just opened in PS, still in the file system (even when I have deleted them) in Aperture? Seems that those versions are kept. Is'nt that blowing up my database? (case a)
when I reimport pictures from case c, are they stored a second time in aperture or does the aperture database point to the particular file (because the file already is under the folder "masters")
Any feedback to data handling between PS and Aperture?
Thanks in advance,
Vanillia

IMO today you are very likely to be best served by the inexpensive Photoshop Elements. However, Adobe's world is changing at the end of this month (March 27) with official announcement of MacIntel versions. You may want to re-ask this question then, being careful of April Fool's Day wags.

Also, version 2 of Aperture is expected in the next few months, and I will be surprised if simple color tools such as you describe are not included.

What is the different between Aperture and Photoshop

Are these comparable programs? Can I do everything in Aperture I can do in Photoshop? I am trying to decide whether of get Aperture 3 now or await PS CS5/
TIA,
Bill

Bill,
Both previous posters to your question have more experience than I with Aperture, so I won't comment a lot on that one (although I really like Aperture because it can be a one stop shop for the casual photographer who just wants to get the best shots organized, touched-up and perhaps posted to a web site or printed in a book or to paper).
I am not positive of how the adjustment brushes really work (but they seem to utilize 'masking' - something found and used in PS a great deal for artistic reasons). This would be a similarity, although Aperture appears to do masking on the fly while the user applies brushed in edits, where Photoshop is (in many cases) a manual mask created on a layer above the image (this takes more time but offers a bit more control).
I can tell you a few things about Photoshop:
1 - You would use 'Bridge' to ingest and organize your image files (this is not nearly as competent as Aperture for organization, but it will work well for someone organizing, keywording and rating up to a few hundred images per folder).
2 - You would be using the 'Adobe Camera Raw' plug-in to veiw and edit any RAW files you plan to work with in your photography (it is also capable of working with .jpg and .tiff files). All work done inside this plug-in is 'non-destructive' and is not applied to anything but the preview until you save it out as a supported image file type (Aperture does the same).
3 - Photoshop allows editing above and beyond the RAW edits due to layers and the ability to manipulate pixels on each layer. It also has all the tools you might need to create graphics from scratch with pen tools, brushes, text tool, etc.
So in summation, your RAW workflow in PS would be 'Bridge > Adobe Camera Raw > Photoshop', compared to Aperture's 'all-in'one' RAW workflow design.
I can't say a lot due to NDA, but we are now allowed to confirm PS CS5 and I can say that the beta performs at least as well as the current release of PS CS4 on my Mac Pro.
You might use the trial of Aperture to get a feel for the program and then (assuming there will be a trial version of PS CS5 released soon after full release) - you could try that for 30 days and make a decision.
Good luck with whatever decision you make.
Peace.

Newbie asks: Aperture and PhotoShop - why have both??

Though this is more of a general question regarding photo editing, I'll post it here as this seems to be where most of the shutterbugs hang.
I just bought my wife a Nikon D200 for Mother's Day. Though she's definitely not an expert photographer (she barely knows how to use her current Nikon N60 film camera), she seems to have a real knack for taking beatiful shots of the kids, vacation vistas, etc.. I bought the D200 not because I felt she needed all of it's features, but more because I wanted something that was built like a tank, and would hold up to years of use in a variety of outdoor/indoor environments. Though very expensive, I thought the D200 was worth it if it lasts longer than the more affordable offerings. ..I mention all this only to avoid being criticized for "over-buying".
Anyway, what is the ONE essential picture editing software package that we should buy to take advantage of this wonderful camera?? I say one, because I don't think my wife will be too keen on moving images through three or four different applications to make fairly minor adjustments. ...She may take 30 pics/month, so were not talking huge project sizes. ..Perhaps a starting point would be if someone could briefly explain the differences between Aperture and Photoshop and why someone would have both. ..And if forced to pick just one of them, which would you chose? The iPhoto that came with our new iMac is outrageously cool! ..But it offers very limited adjustment tools.

I'll relate how I use both Aperture and Photoshop and why I do what I do so you can come to your own conclusions. I have been using Aperture since it first came out and Photoshop for 10 years.
Though Aperture was originally thought to be a Photoshop competitor (back when it was first released), it is not. Rather, it is a very good front-end to Photoshop. I use Aperture to read in my digital photos from my Nikon camera so I can easily go through them and pick out the ones I want. I should note that generally when I go out and do a "shoot", it is not uncommon for me to run through 200 or more pictures. So I have a significant sorting and selecting process when I get home to my computer. Photoshop is NOT good at this, that is why Adobe added Bridge a couple of years ago. Aperture is more of a competitor to Bridge (though Bridge comes free with Photoshop). I should note that though I like Bridge, Aperture has it beat hands down when it comes to letting me review my photos.
As I have learned to use Aperture, it has taken over many of the front-end adjustments I used to make in Bridge and Photoshop. Things like adjusting the saturation, brightness, contrast, levels, cropping, leveling and sharpening were what I formerly did with my Adobe products, but now instead very easily do with Aperture. I prefer doing these adjustment in Aperture since they are non-destructive to my original file, and the adjustments are kept in a XML sidecar file so the adjusted image file is very small and saves me lots of disk space.
If I like what I see in Aperture, then I can easily publish (books or web) or print from there. Aperture has some great web generation features in it. But, these features are not flexible with their format styles and are geared for use by professional photographers who want to show their work to their clients. But still, it is fun to easily create a web site. And if you have a .MAC account, there is a very nice fit between the two productions. (Note: you can also get this same functionality with more page creation flexibility with Apple's iWeb and to a certain degree with iPhoto).
Aperture has also helped me organize my photo library so that I can easily find that one photo, or set of photos, I want, when I want them.
So, if I'm using Aperture more-and-more, what am I using Photoshop for? As good as Aperture is, and it is getting better, it is no competitor for what Photoshop does best. I wouldn't think of using anything but Photoshop when I need to do "serious" work on my photos. Image repair and restoration, patching, touchups, very fine adjustments, special effects, application of filters, noise reduction, to name a few things, are (to me) Photoshop only. Also, for now, Photoshop has a much better zoom and image inspection feature than does Aperture. Though the loop in Aperture is useful, I find it to be a bit more klunky than the zoom feature in Photoshop.
Both programs are pricey, though Apple has made Aperture a lot more attractive with the recent price reduction from $499 to $299.
And, I agree. Elements is also an excellent choice, though I'm not sure if it supports RAW files the same way Photoshop does. I'm sure the Adobe site will have that information.
Good luck, and congratulations on the new D200. Your wife will really like it.

Conflict between VPN and Airport disk

Hello Folks, I just bought a brand new airport extreme 802n.
I thought it would be working fine with my Macbook pro, but it doesn't.
I can't access any externe hard disk or USB Stick through the airport extreme, although the format is FAT32. I checked and checked but found nothing useful. All the settings are default.
Worth to mention, I always use a cisco VPN client to get connected to the Internet (university student).
There are few times when I disconnected the VPN Client, the USB Client can be found and read, but not be written.
I though it is a conflict between VPN and Airport disk. So I tried without VPN, but the USB stick and the extern hard disk still didn't work properly. I have no idea what is happening could somebody help?
By the way is it possible to set Airport extreme as a VPN router so I don't have to use the cisco VPN client anyway?
Any reply is appreciated
Thank you !

I have an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem
with comcast as my isp. The Extreme is connected to
a G4 dual processor mac via ethernet. I also have 3
airport expresses around the house to work as range
extenders. When I had the G4 connect to the Extreme
via its internal airport card, I had no difficulty
connecting to any of the Expresses around the house
with my g4 powerbook. Now that I have the G4 Dual
directly connected by ethernet to get the fastest
speed, I cannot get my expresses or my laptop to
connect through my laptop to the base station. all
lights are green on the expresses, but running
network diagnostics on the powerbook shows red or
yellow for the last two buttons on the right. Do I
have a configuration problem or an Extreme that won't
bridge properly?
Check that the G4 Dual has a location configured with
only "Built-In Ethernet" activated, and that its
Ethernet connection isn't shared on AirPort.
Turn off all your AX and check that your
PB G4 is able to connect to "your" AirPort network.
Take advantage of this silence of all your AX
to run an analysis of your wireless environnement:
- check that you don't have any neighbor wireless
network,
- check that on each of your AX settlement you have a
very good reception of "your" AirPort network.
If everything works fine to that point, add one AX to
your network, and check the reachability of your network
where you wanted to extend it.

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

[JS CS3] Conflict between palettes and panels

Hello,
I am having a conflict between panels and palettes. Hopefully I can get some direction without having to copy the code here, because it is very long.
I have a window of the palette type. This palette has buttons and radio buttons. The buttons call up various functions.
The radio buttons, however, make visible/invisible a series of panels in the palette. The panels are stacked upon each other, only one of which is visible at any one time, depending upon which radio button is selected.
One of the buttons in the palette calls up another palette (which also has a series of buttons for various functions). Let's call it the little palette. The problem is, that after the little palette is called up, the radio buttons in the big palette no longer work. I can select them but they will not make visible/invisible any of the stacked panels. The buttons in the visible panel work as well as all the other buttons that are always visible. The only thing that does not work are the radio buttons.
My only workaround is to just dismiss the palette and call it up again. But I'd rather fix this bug.
Any ideas? If I need to I can strip down the coding leaving only the essentials, but rather not take the time if this is a problem others have run into and hopefully have a solution for.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks. I'll give it a try, but I even uninstalled both programs, tried
reinstalling Reader only, and when that didn't work, uninstalled Reader and
then reinstalled Acrobat. Still a problem. The particular website is
www.officeally.com, and it opens the PDF file in a browser window, I believe
using an ASP file.

Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

Absolutely. Just change the sim card and the APN details in the settings. You can do this either manually if you know them or just sync with iTunes after changing the sim and the details will sync. Once you have done it once for each network the device seems to remember the details.

Transfer photos between Revel and Photoshop 12 and vice versa

I have Windows 8.1, Photoshop 12, Revel Premium. How can I edit photos stored in Revel? Also, how can I move photos in Revel albums to PS for editing?

Hi
I was bumped off of the Adobe Chat since they did not support PS12.
Bummer.

Hi poetryplease,
Unfortunately, there is no Creative Cloud connection between CS3 and Revel. You can upload your images that you have edited, etc, in Photoshop from your desktop into Revel or download your Revel images to your desktop then open in Photoshop.

Name space conflict between static and instance method

Hello,
there seems to be a very unfortunate name space conflict between static and instance method name. Consider:
static String description() that should return a description of a class.
String description() that should return a description of an instance.
That seems to confuse the compiler. How come? Static and instance methods don't have anything to get confused about.
Thanks for any insights :-)

Umm...jeez.
It's not a bug, it's the way it's supposed to be.
Since a static method can be called the same way an instance method
A instance = new A();
A.staticMethod();
instance.staticMethod();it's not allowed.
Also in the class, you can call
public void myMethod() {
instanceMethodInClass(); // You don't need this, it's superfluous
staticMethodInClass(); // You don't need the class name.
}If you didn't understand, then just accept the fact that it is so. Some day you'll understand it.

Software conflict between iPhoto and Sony MP3 player

I am experiencing a major software conflict between iPhoto and my Sony MP3 player (model: NWZ-E443). In the past, whenever I connect the MP3 to my 2009 MacBook Pro, iPhoto always opened. I would simply close iPhoto and everything would be OK, though. But after upgrading iPhoto a few months ago via an upgrade download I am now unable to view images full-screen. Although thumbnails display OK, when I double-click on any of them to display full-screen, the MP3's 'Do Not Disconnect' image displays full-screen instead, even when the MP3 is not connected.
I have tried reinstalling iPhoto from the original iLife disc, but this didn't work and my fear is that the Sony software has somehow corrupted every image single file in my library.

Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

Leopard running Aperture and Photoshop really slow

I just got Leopard and my Aperture and Photoshop are running slow and crashing, also when I run Pro Tools it won't boot up all the time. This is really frustrating. I keep loosing files images. This is running like Bill Gates made it.

Have you checked what it going on, when Aperture becomes sluggish?
I'd recommend to launch some diagnostic tools, if you have not already done so:
Aperture's own "Activity Viewer": From the main menu bar: Window > Show Activity
This will tell you, how Aperture is spending its time : rendering, previews, scanning for faces or places, raw processing. Inparticulur, check, if Aperture is hanging while processing one particular image or video over and over again.
The Console window: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Look, if you see error messages or warnings in this window, when Aperture starts to hang.
The Activity Monitor: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. This window will tell you, which processes are using the cpu, the RAM, and doing page outs to the disk. You can see, if other processing are competing with Aperture and slowing it down, orif Aperture is starved for memory.
How large are images? Do you have very large raw files or scans, or are your photos moderately sized?
Is your library on the internal drive or an external drive?
Do you see this slowness only with your main Aperture library, or also, if you create a new, small library with a few test images?

Léonie
