D800-focus adjustment info  in APERTURE image archive?

Hey dear friends,
I do not find under my picture metadatas the info about the focus adjustment of my lens/camera.
Downloading same picture into the NIKON VIEW software, this inof is available
In Aperture I expect this ino under EXIF-Infomation
Any help very wellcomed
Thnaks in advance
Franz-Josef
info from NIKON manual about focus adjustment

Hey Ernie
my mistake
I thought I answered you already, but I didn´t
Here attached three screenshots of the situation
      picture w/o focus ajustment ( off)
      picture with focus adjustement 0
      picture with focus adjustment -10
  have a look in the third section : Kamerainformationen>> AF-Feinabst.:
Adjustment can be tuned in the range of +/- 20 for the body and for each lens
Is that what you have been looking for.
Any idea now, where to find this info in APERTURE?
Thanks and sorry for the late reply :-((
Best ergards

  • Wrong image preview while I am moving adjustment sliders in Aperture

    When I move adjustment sliders, a different recently and previosly adjusted image will frequently show in the viewer while the slider is being moved.  Sometimes parts of two or more previous images will appear and sometimes in the wrong orientation. This makes it makes it impossible to see the result of the adjustment until I release the slider which is annoying.  I cannot reliably replicate the problem but it happens often.  It seems random as if the wrong image is in a cache and not refreshing properly.
    Details:
    MacPro (New) 6-core 32GB RAM, D300 Graphics OS X
    Aperture 3.5.1
    Moved Library from old machine (2007 MacPro) and rebuilt library
    250K images all referenced
    Library is big (236GB)
    Files are RAW Canon 5dMk3 and tend to be about 30MB
    Preferences:
    Import: standard previews
    Previews: generate automatically and share when quitting (half size medium quality)
    library created new previews for all images when I rebuilt it
    machine will run processor and memory hard, sometimes around 90%
    Might it be a poor choice of preference settings or a corrupt library?  Anyone else ever experience this condition?  I would appreciate any suggestions.

    On a conceptual level, it should not be a problem, but a Preview is related to a Version, and a Version is related to one Original/Master.  There can be multiple Versions, all of which must point to a single Original.
    You are not adjusting a Preview, but rather a Version.  What you see as you adjust is a new rendering of the Version, and is not the Preview you saw when you decided to adjust, I believe.
    There are on the order of 8 or 9 other files related to every Original even if only one Version in the Package that is the Library. Very complex indexing going on at all times.
    Please open an image, and before attempting to adjust, click on File, and choose Show in Finder -- is the Finder image the correct one?  And in the correct location?
    Now attempt to adjust.  Does the image change?  If so, again us Show in Finder and check.

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

  • Hi does anybody know how to perform roundtripping between aperture 3 and lightroom 3? i can set up aperture to send the file to lightroom BUT i cannot get lightroom to send it back with the just the adjustment (it sends the image as a separate file)

    basically, i find the sharpening tool in aperture extreamly slow and would like to use lightroom, just for sharpening.  I then would like to send the image back to aperture as just an adjustment on the original file and not a whole new replica file as the original. can any body give a easy solution? cheers

    What you want to do can't be done.  There is no low-friction way to combine image adjustments from Aperture and Lightroom.  There is no way at all to combine them without creating new files.
    This was recently discussed in this thread.
    Are you using the Edge Sharpening adjustment?  In Aperture 3, it superceded the old Sharpening adjustment, which remains included for backwards compatibility.

  • I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package?  Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
    You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images.  That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space.  As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

  • I can't see the adjustments under the Adjustment tab in Aperture. Where is the data?

    Several months ago I dragged photos from Aperture into a Burn Folder on my Desktop. Today I dragged the photos from the Burn Folder on my Desktop into Aperture. My photos are all still edited, but I can't see any of the adjustments I made under the Adjustment Tab in Aperture. Where is that data? How do I get it back?

    I'll cover most of this because I'm too busy to trim it, but be sure to read Léonie's post.

    Can you explain to me the difference between a Preview and the Master image? I checked my preferences and they are set "Photo Preview: Half Size" and "Photo Preview quality: 8 Medium".
    The Master is now known as the Original.  (Apple changed the term.  I don't know why.)  The "Original" is the term Aperture uses to designate the image-format file you imported into your Library.  When you import, Aperture creates a record in its database and creates an Image that you see in the Browser and the Viewer.  Every Image has an Original.
    Aperture creates additional files that it uses.  Among these are a Version, which is a text file containing instructions regarding adjustments and metadata changes you make, some thumbnails, which are image-format files in small dimensions, and a Preview, which is a JPG-format file that is automatically updated to include any adjustments you have made.
    The Original is _never_ altered.  Aperture is a _non-destructive_ photo developing workshop.  "Non-destructive" means that your original files (the ones that Aperture calls "Originals" once you import them) are never altered.
    The Preview is _always_ altered.  It always is updated to include all the adjustments you have made to any Image.
    As you know, you set the JPG parameters (size and quality) for your Previews in Aperture's preferences.
    Does this mean that all the photos I have dragged to Burn Folders and burned to DVDs are lesser quality than my Masters in my Aperture Library? I thought I was backing up the Masters!
    Sorry for the bad news, but the latter is not correct, and the former is.  When you drag an Image from the Browser or the Viewer, Aperture creates a copy of that Image's Preview.  (The User Manual should make this clear.  Currently it is incorrect.)
    Note, too, that your Masters (now "Originals") are never altered.  What you might have wanted to back up were the Images in your Library.  Now -- get ready for the weird part -- those Images do not exist as image-format files.  There is no file that we can access in order to to back-up an Image.  You can either create share-able image-format files from your Images, and back those up, or you can back up your Aperture Library, which, when restored, will give you the opportunity to create share-able image-format files from your Images.
    Aperture is structured this way -- it saves the imported file, untouched, and text instructions telling it how to create your Images on-the-fly -- specifically to save the space you would need to store full-size files of every Image in your Library.  Rather than save "the thing itself", it saves just what it needs to create "the thing itself".  The storage savings are enormous.
    This is why your workflow is (in general): import, make adjustments and add metadata, sort, group, and organize, and export _only when you need an image-format file to share with another program_.  You then share that file, and delete it (because if you need another, you can create it by exporting from Aperture).
    How about when I drag photos from my Aperture library to an external hard drive icon on my desktop? Am I dragging the Masters or Previews? If so, are the Previews lesser quality than the Masters in my Aperture Library?
    When you drag Images from Aperture, you create copies of those Images' Previews.  If you haven't made any adjustments, then they are Previews of your Masters (now called "Originals").  But Previews are JPGs with the dimensions and quality you told Aperture to use, whereas your Originals are whatever format, dimensions, and quality they were when you imported those files.  The quality of an Image's Preview is always less than the quality of that Image's Original.  (I'm using "quality" to mean "amount of useable data".)
    You should test this right now.  Create a new Finder folder.  In Aperture, select an Image with adjustments applied.  Drag it into your newly-created Finder folder.  Then export it's Original into the Finder folder (File ▹ Export ▹ Original).  Then export the Version with whatever settings you want (File ▹ Export ▹ Version).  Compare the three files you just created.
    I think I'm going to be sick! Please tell me it isn't so! I have 1000s of beautiful photos from trips on both DVDs and a Western Digital external hard drive, but I dragged them all from my Aperture Library to either a Burn Folder or a Western Digital icon on my desktop, then I deleted the originals from my Aperture Library. I did this to make room on my Mac Book Pro hard drive. This is how Apple One on One taught me to backup my photos!
    I'm sorry  .
    To back up your Originals, back them up.  They are files.  If they are in your Library, they get backed up when you back up your Library.
    To back up your Images, either make files from them, and back up those files, or ... back up your Library with the knowledge that that way you can create new files from your Images after restoring your Library from your back-up.
    To shrink the size of your Library so that it leaves more space on your system drive:
    - remove un-needed Images
    - relocate some Images' Originals to a second drive (almost always external).  Aperture makes this easy to do.
    Alternative, put your entire Library on a second drive.  Libraries on external drives connected via USB-3 or Thunderbolt work fine.
    In general, a photographer's commitment to an image-management database system (of which Aperture is one) is complete:  it works best when it is all-enclusive.  I recommend against removing Images from your Library either to save space or to archive them.  My personal Library catalogues all my photographs.  Using it I can find, and make available, any photo I've taken and decided to keep.  Once I decide to keep it, it stays -- forever -- as a record in my Library.
    Note that your "Library Set" (I just made that up, but it should exist) includes your Library package (that shows as a file in Finder) and any Referenced Originals that belong to Images in your Library.  You must back up your entire Library Set.
    The Geniuses at the Apple Store generally do great jobs in demanding circumstances.  They are, by need, generalists who must be reasonably adept with a lot of software.  It seems you were (badly) misinformed.  Please recommend this post to the one who coached you, so that s/he makes sure that others aren't similarly misled.

  • Problem with adjust pics in Aperture

    Whe I try to adjust pictures in Aperture 2.1.2 the viewer window goes total black. Even if I just touch one of the adjustment option a little bit. It happens both when I use raw and jpg.
    Thanks in advance for any help. I have a project I am working on and I have to finish it today. Do I really need to use Adobe Element for adjustment.
    Frank

    I have tried with two differents camera: Nikon D70 and Leica-Lux 4
    I know Aperture dont suport Leica d4. But it also happen when I try to adjust jpg pics. If I just touch any of the adjustment tools - the preview goes black
    I import the images as raw and jpg.
    Whe I use the app. Capture One I amfacing no problem - but I prefer Aperture.
    Thanks for your answer - anyway - Frank

  • Aperture image-control compared with Photoshop?

    I'm looking to get Aperture 2. I've been using iPhoto as a library, and Photoshop to control\doctor images. How does the Aperture image-control compare with Photoshop's? I'm not thinking so much here about fancy plug-ins, just basic, but subtle, color, contrast, cropping controls ... especially dealing with the highlights and shadows.
    Any info from a user would be most appreciated,
    Thanks,

  • How to display project size info on aperture

    Can't find a way to view the project size info on aperture. On iPhoto I could select the files and show them on finder and there I'd be able to select the ones and get info. Not on aperture, where the show file info is gray!! ANy help?

    Apparently it can't be done. The reasons we want this information are our own. I also need to know it and I came to this thread just now after Googling "aperture project size".
    Some of the responses in this thread are dripping with condescension.
    Welcome to the user-to-user forum. I am comfortable guarantying that you will get more out of it than you will contribute. I'm sorry if my not shielding my feelings from you has caused you discomfort. It is often easier -- and more efficient -- to simply supply information than to mentor.
    Define "Project" as used in "Total project size". Please refer to the Help file's helpful page *"Basic Components of Aperture"*

  • Weird behavior in opening Aperture images in Photoshop

    I have found a lot of really weird behavior when opening Aperture images in an external editor (in my case, Photoshop, so I'll use PS to refer to it):
    1) If the master image is opened in PS, a new version is created when the file is opened, not saved. So quitting PS without saving leaves you with a new version of the file, regardless of whether you actually saved any changes or not.
    2) If a version (not the master) is opened in PS, a new version is not created, either on open, or on save. So in other words, changes to that version in PS when saved overwrite that version, and the previous condition of that version is lost (with respect to versioning).
    3) If multiple versions of the same image are opened simultaneously in PS, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the difference between them in PS, except for visually (possibly meta-data, but I haven't checked that, nor would I want to be forced to). The file names of all versions are exactly the same.
    I'm looking for feedback from anyone out there who can explain why this isn't completely quacky version control. I've been using version control almost my entire career (as a software programmer) and here's how I have seen almost invariably version control work:
    1) New versions of files are always created upon commit, i.e. saving of the file, not on opening a file. (Do not confuse this with working copies, think about what is present in the repository).
    2) Opening / editing any file version is never destructive. Any change to that file version that is saved (committed) results in a new version, not an overwrite to the same version.
    Aperture's interface basically has combined what traditional version management has represented separately, that being the client and repository views of a project. They are showing all versions of a file simultaneously. This is fine, but I'm really not liking the fact that some changes create new versions, other changes overwrite versions, and one case, merely opening the file creates a new version, whether there are any changes saved or not. In addition, when working with multiple versions in the editor, the file name and/or interface doesn't give any indication of what version you are working with. Easy to say that's the fault of the external editor, but I disagree -- all external editors are going to work with filenames, so Aperture should produce a unique namespace for any file version so that any external tool will be able to distinguish (visually) one file from another.
    Is this completely wacky version management, or is it just me?

    Hi Bradley,
    Due to the way I personally use Photoshop, I want Aperture to behave as it does.
    That's because, with Photoshop, I use layers extensively. Any edits I do (levels, curves, saturation, sharpening) I do on layers. I can delete the layers at any time (or select to show or hide them). Because of this, I actually WANT Aperture to behave the way it does. Once I've done a bunch of edits in Photoshop, if I select again to edit that file in the external editor, I want to work on that specific file (to add another layer, or change one). I don't want another duplicate. I tinkered with this over the weekend, and it worked very nicely for me.
    Perhaps you work differently from within Photoshop? Do you ever use layers? If I were to have a bunch of Photoshop "versions," each with 5 layers, I'd have like 5 GB of "versions" for my original 8 MB RAW file, due to the size of PSD files. Yuck

  • How can I access the "vision info" in an image

    Hi,
    Development Environment:
    LabVIEW 2012 32-bit (12.0f3)
    Vision 2012
    Description:
    I would like to get more information regarding the "vision info" in an image.
    There is a VI called IMAQ Is Vision Info Present 2 - which tells me whether any vision info is present in the image.
    But then what can I use to read or access this vision info, aside from using IMAQ Read Custom Data - or is this all there is?
    ie.  I have created a template in Vision Assistant using the Template editor and highlighted some mask areas - how can I open this up in LabVIEW and get this information?
    The Vision help files don't seem to define this to a low level of detail.
    Thanks!

    This VI will allow you to reference your created template image and returns the features of that image giving the ‘Feature Type’ and the associated data with that feature. This should allow you to access the data you need.

  • Is adjusting permissions for LightRoom based archive management worthwhile?

    I'm trying to set up an archive that is managed through a LightRoom Catalog. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and adjusted the permissions of their files to read only to ensure that LightRoom Catalog metadata changes do not alter or get saved to files.
    I plan to have the archive set up in 3 locations with copies of the LightRoom Catalog. I will need to be able to add keywords and collections to a catalog at 2 of the locations. I am interested in using permissions to ensure that the catalog is the only file that needs to travel between the locations. I don't want to get into a situation in which altering the LightRoom Catalog might alter files and necessitate that I either save new metadata to files with each keyword/collection addition or that I regularly synchronize the entire archive to ensure all 3 copies of the archive are mirrors of one another.
    I have three serious concerns about the longterm viability of managing file permissions:
    1. I worry that it will be difficult to manage the user/s who have the privileges to manage these permissions and that it will be difficult to do so in different locations and on different computers
    2. I worry about whether permissions management might introduce some form of file corruption
    3. I worry about the time involved in altering an entire archives worth of permissions to read only and the time involved in reversing this every time I want to unarchive content for new projects
    I have also posted this question to Luminous Landscape here: Adjusting Permissions for LightRoom Catalog Based Archive Managment. Worthwhile?

    ... and adjusted the permissions of their files to read only to ensure that LightRoom Catalog metadata changes do not alter or get saved to files.
    By default, Lightroom does not write anything to your photo files. Of course, there's no way to prevent a user from changing this default behavior and writing information to the files. I suppose making the directories read-only helps, but people could still change that. If the directories are on a server, then only the server admin could change the permissions.
    2. I worry about whether permissions management might introduce some form of file corruption
    I never heard of such a thing, but this is an operating system issue, not a Lightroom issue.
    I worry about the time involved in altering an entire archives worth of permissions to read only and the time involved in reversing this every time I want to unarchive content for new projects
    I don't think you understand how Lightroom works. There would be no need to reverse anything to "unarchive" the content  — although in my opinion, the idea of "archiving" content in the first place doesn't feel right ... if the photos are imported into Lightroom at one time, leave them in Lightroom, don't go through an archive process removing the photos from Lightroom followed by unarchive process, that is something that is ineffective and causes numerous problems with non-expert users. When you import photos into Lightroom, the photos still remain on your hard disk somewhere, Lightroom does not actually keep a copy of the photo. Lightroom keeps pointers to the photo's locations and stores any metadata and edits. Removing a photo from Lightroom (archiving) is the equivalent of deleting the metadata and edits, and I cannot see a reason to do that.
    So, bottom line, to answer your title question, "Is adjusting permissions for Lightroom based archive management worthwhile?" — without further discussion of your setup and goals, I see no reason to even spend your time on this, unless you are the server admin of the location where the photos are stored, in which case then the answer is go right ahead and make them read-only.

  • Reading Camera Focus Box info in Bridge CS5?

    Hi, folks.
    Does anyone know whether or not it's possible to set up Bridge to read and display the focus point info from my camera?  That is, when I take a shot and view it on the camera's LCD I can see the red focus square designating the point of focus.  Can this information somehow be transmitted to Bridge in the metadata?
    Thanks!
    -Greg

    Not to tell you how to take a picture, but you might want to investigate what criteria Cannon uses to determine where it focuses when set to "auto-choose".  In cases where the subject matter may be less obvious that the background, it may not focus where you don't want it to.   In my case taking a picture of a small bird in a tree with lots of branches close by.  In those cases you need an alternate focusing method that you can switch to.
    I like the spot focus method as it puts me in control.
    Auto this and that is great in many cases, but don't overlook the computer you have in your head.

  • Aperture images with iLife

    I know you can access Aperture images in iLife, but it doesn't let you access the versions that are so carefully edited. Does anyone know if this is possible without exporting versions as JPEGs and then reimporting? Along the same lines, sometimes I just want the images I rate 5 stars to show up in iLife, but it always displays all the images in the project. Am I missing something?

    but it doesn't let you access the versions that are so carefully edited.
    Yes it does. You just need to make sure you've created previews of the edited versions. I've turned off automatic preview generation and just use a hotkey for the Generate Previews option.
    sometimes I just want the images I rate 5 stars to show up in iLife, but it always displays all the images in the project. Am I missing something?
    you can't filter out images from the Media Browser (iLife) but you can create a smart album in Aperture that only shows five star images, then use that to browse only those images in iLife apps.
    hope this helps!

  • Aperture image to external editor is SLOW

    Wondering if anyone else is having an issue with opening their images up using their "external editor" option in Aperture.
    Mine is set to Photoshop, which I'm sure many of you have. But it takes upwards of a minute for the Aperture image to duplicate itself and then open up in PS. It triples the time of my workflow -- which is a pain when I need to edit dozens of images in PS.
    Anyone have any suggestions? My computer is brand-new and quite fast. But perhaps there's a logical answer that I have yet to discover.
    Thanks.

    How much RAM do you have? You'll want 2 GB to do what you want.
    There are a few things going on here:
    1) Photoshop is a large application... it takes a while to load on any hardware
    2) Photoshop is not yet a universal application. It runs in Rosetta, which is an emulation layer. This makes it slower (probably 2-3x slower than on a PowerPC; so your MacBook running Photoshop at current is probably about as fast as an 800 MHz PowerBook).
    3) Rosetta uses lots of RAM as well. So Photoshop in Rosetta while you're using Aperture will really tax the machine.
    I'd recommend you run nothing else on the machine at all but Aperture and Photoshop. Quit mail, quit safari, quit anything but those two applications. Your life will get better when Photoshop CS3 comes out (March/April) and is universal. Until then, yeah, it's going to be a little on the slow side.

Maybe you are looking for
