Corrupted Import Thumbnail on Aperture/iPhoto!

Hey all,
I have no idea what's going on.
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1570/picture1ss0.png
If you look at the image above, you'll see that these 2 images look corrupted in the import menu in Aperture (and iPhoto as well I tried). I thought it could be my memory card, but I tried both of mine and it was the same. In addition, I tried another camera and even another cable and it's the same. When I upload my pictures to a PC, it would be alright.
The thing though is, those seemingly corrupted ones are actually NOT corrupted after you import, only the thumbnail preview is.
I thought it would be my Aperture program but iPhoto does it as well.
Seems to me that the preview thumbnail generator for the imports from memory card is screwed up. Any way to fix that?
Please help as I don't really wanna format my Mac
Thanks!

Anyone?

  • Dark photos from Aperture, iPhoto or Drag and drop

    All imported photos (from aperture, iphoto or drag&droped) whitin a project are very dark in the viewer, and in the final video (itunes, export with several options...). The histogram levels of the image are low. The preview image in the project looks fine.
    I tried repair permissions with disk Utility, system clean with Onyx... the problem remains.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem, but only after I installed the iMovie 9.0.1 update. Before then my still images looked fine when imported.
    But now, my pictures are coming up so dark as to be unusable. I was forced to export them as slideshow movies from iPhoto and import them as clips to iMovie last time I tried to use still images.

  • I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay.  Have you heard of this?

    I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. New photos take a long time to load as well.
    Have you heard of this?
    Thanks

    We need a little more information to be able to help.
    However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture.
    What kind of corruption? And when do you see it? All your images, or only some? Are the images distorted, discolored, or not displayed at all?
    Are you shooting in raw? Is your library referenced or managed? Is your library on your system volume or on an external harddrive?
    And it would help to know your MacOS version and Aperture version too.

  • Problem Importing Photos from Aperture 3 into iPhoto '11

    I store my photos in Aperture 3, but import them into iPhoto to create calendars, cards, etc. I usually work with RAW or high resolution JPG images in Aperture. However, when I import these into the new iPhoto '11, it automatically converts my RAW images into very low resolution images (e.g., 100-200k instead of at least 1-2MB). I cannot seem to find an option to change this. This was not a problem with the old iPhoto. To import, I start in iPhoto, then click "Show Aperture Library", then drag my photos/folder. I would like to have an option to import images as RAW files, or just high res JPGs.
    I know I can export my Aperture images to the desktop, then import them into iPhoto for a temporary fix, but that is such as hassle, especially since iPhoto and Aperture are supposed to work well together. Thanks for any suggestions!

    Aperture creates preview images that contain all the adjustments you've made to the master image. These previews are what is shared with other apps such as iLife or if you drag and drop an image out of Aperture to another app or the Finder.
    The size of the previews is controlled in Aperture Preferences. Open Aperture Preferences and click on the Previews icon at the top. In the bottom of this dialog there is a popup menu titled "Photo Preview". This is the setting that controls the size of the image Aperture shares with iPhoto. Change this setting to the size you want.
    But wait, you're not done yet. Changing this setting does nothing until a new preview is created in Aperture. If you right click an image in Aperture there is a menu item near the bottom named "Update Preview". But what you really need is "Generate Preview". Right click the image and then hold down the option key and you'll see "Update Preview" change to "Generate Preview". Choose "Generate Preview" and a new preview will be created using the new size setting you made in Preferences. You need to do this for each and every image you wish to share at the larger size. You can select multiple images before selecting the "Generate Preview" command to speed things up.
    Now when you share an image from Aperture to iPhoto the new larger file will be used. The advantage of smaller previews is your Aperture library will also be smaller but the trade off is what you get in other apps that are using your images.

  • How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

    Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

    I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
    Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

  • I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11   into Aperture v3.0

    I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 v9.4.3  into Aperture v3.0. When I select import I get a message saying Aperture cannot import libraries from version earlier that iphoto 7.1.5 and tells me to upgrade to a lter version of iphoto. Advice ?

    I am on MAC OS X Version 10.8.5
    Is Aperture 3.0 still correct or have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4.5? Only Aperture 3.4.5 can import iPhoto 9.4.3 libraries.
    As I said above, you can download the updater for Aperture here:
    Use this link:  Aperture 3.4.5

  • Aperture iPhoto Import

    I imported my iPhoto library into a trial version of Aperture (Aperture will manage the directory).  iPhoto manages the photos by putting them in by year in the "Masters" directory, then by event name.  I noticed that the Aperture iPhoto import placed all my photos into 2011 directory instead of the same file structure in iPhoto.  Is there a way to get Aperture to manage my imported photos and place the photos in a file stucture by year?
    I do not intend to monkey around with the iphoto or aperture library's, but I do want the photos stored in a fasion that I could move on to some other program if needed in the future.
    Thanks Gary

    None taken, I am just one of those that want to know how Aperture is handling my photos.  My search in the manual and in this forum did not help entirely, until now. You are right it does not matter how Aperture handles the bundle as long as you want to continue to use Aperture.  I thought it was strange that iPhoto handles it one way and Aperture handles it another. I like the way iPhoto places my photos in by year.  It appears that Aperture will also do this but only for my pictures this day forward.  My concern is for the future, and for something that may never happen, but I plan for it anyway.  If I decide to make another change in the future, I would want to make sure at least the pictures are structured by year.  I should be able to go into the Aperture bundle and copy the masters out if needed.  I was hoping I could get the imported photos structure by year.  I do like Aperture so far and will more than likely make the purchase.

  • Unable to import photos in Aperture after iPhoto last update 9.6.1

    Hi,
    I have no clue if it's related, but after iPhoto last update to 9.6.1, I'm no more able to import photos in Aperture from my Pentax K-50.
    Spinning wheel and after that, I get the message that no pictures were imported.
    Everything was going fine until that iPhoto update!
    Sometimes, it will import 1 picture and then Aperture will crash, saying that it was impossible to import pictures.
    I formatted my SD card, but same result.
    Any idea why this is happening?
    Thanks

  • Aperture/iPhoto - Use Unified Library or import iPhoto into Aperture?

    So as it is June 30th, I've been forced into upgrading to Lion.  Now I know I can take advantage of the Aperture/iPhoto unified library structure.
    But should I?
    I am new to Aperture and use it for photos starting in January 2012 going forward.  I have already upgraded to Aperture 3.3.  I am still currently running iPhoto 8.1.2  for photos from 2011 and earlier.  My plan was to eventually import my iPhoto library into Aperture.  Now it appears I don't have to.
    So I'm standing at a crossroads and I'd like feedback.  I have read some of the discussions where folks are having issues with migration with both avenues so I'd like to know which one makes more sense.
    Should I upgrade to iPhoto 9.3?  Should I keep each library separate?  Should I merge?  Should I import iPhoto into Aperture still and have one library going forward?
    Looking for folks with some experience to give me guidance!
    Thanks in advance!
    Chrystal in TX

    Merge them.  When you upgrade to iPhoto 9.3 and Aperture 3.3 the programs use the same library format... you can open it in either one.
    Note people rarely post feedback about something if it's working for them, so results will always be skewed toward the negative online.  Still, it makes sense to have a backup before upgrading, as a general best practice.

    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?

    How did you import them?
    Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.

  • IPhoto won't import images from Aperture.

    I export images to a jpg version at 1024 X 1024. Preview can open them, Photoshop Elelments 3 can open them, but IPhoto refuses to import them as they are "an unrecognizable file type or the files may not contain valid data".
    Any ideas what is going on?
    Peter

    Rusty Rat
    Where did you export them to? Into the iPhoto Library Folder? Because iPhoto will not import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication. So, export to the desktop and import from there.

  • Aperture Corrupting Imported Images

    The masters appear to be fine, but here is what aperture is doing to the previews of these images :
    http://imgur.com/1CI3m.jpg
    Why is this happening? How can I fix it? How can I prevent it from happening again?

    It will probably be a couple of days before I can do a test with scanning afresh from a negative. However, I readily had color slides that I had scanned at 2400 or perhaps higher. I took one such scan which is 390 MB as a 48-bit color RGB tiff. I opened it in Photoshop CS5, changed the Mode to Grayscale, and saved a tiff version in that Mode that now was 38 MB in size. Imported that into Aperture 3, and everything is fine with the display and processing of that image file.
    I routinely scan to tiff format, but generally as RGB, but I have done Grayscale without incident.
    Do you have any version of Photoshop, btw? Open the file you had made and originally imported into A3 with Photoshop.

  • Thumbnails appear in iPhoto, but photos cannot be opened on its own

    Hello-
    I had an older camera that I have since replaced. When I uploaded the photos to iPhoto initially, they were uploaded fine. However, now when I go to open them in iPhoto, I can see them only as a small thumbnail. When I double click on the image, the photo does not appear- rather a circle with an exclamation point in it. Is there any way to save these photos? Thank you!

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
