Does Aperture 2 support layered .psd images from photoshop

I was wondering if anyone can answer this question for me. I will be using photoshop to edit wedding photos. I will be doing alot of layers in photoshop for my wedding photos. is it possible to save the final edited photos that contains layers into Aperture so I can utilizes the photo management that aperture provides and post on a website through .mac service? If not, can you suggest a photo management software for my final edited photos in photoshop that will allow me to post the photos out on the Web through .mac?

In short, Aperture does allow saving layers.
You must open in external editor (PS) make your adjustments and any layers, save (not save as), make sure that you click maximize compatibility. Your layered file will return to Aperture. If you need to massage one of the layers again, just open in external editor again.
Hope this helps.

  • Why does Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

    I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

    Welcome to the forums!
    It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
    1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
    You need to be.
    2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
    If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
    3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
    Ap2
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
    Ap3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
    Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.

  • My Nikon D7000 obtains 14 bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

    My Nikon D7000 obtains 14-bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

    I am pretty sure ( ) that Aperture has had a 16-bit color workflow for several years.
    Here is a printing hint from the User Manual:
    Use a printer that supports 16-bit printing: If the image you’re printing is a high-resolution 16-bit file, using a printer that supports 16-bit printing results in smoother gradations.

  • Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

  • Does Elements 12 support 32 bit images in a 64 bit OS?

    Does Elements 12 support 32 bit images in a 64 bit OS?

    Yes.  It makes no difference how your image was created - on 64 bit
    software or 32 bit software.  It is still a document and so it should
    load on any system running any photo-editing software.
    PSE is still a 32 bit software for windows;  Nobody knows when will 64
    bit version come out.

  • Problem: importing a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere.

    Dear Adobe community,
    I am trying to import a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere Pro CC. Whatever file format I choose to export from Photoshop, Premiere Pro CC will not import the file correctly. When I import is, two things occur: 1) the image gets imported, but the white background is still there or 2) the image gets an error "The importer reported a generic error".
    Does anyone have an idea how I can get an image with a white background transparent into Premiere Pro CC.
    Specs:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, eind 2013)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB RAM
    1536MB Intel Iris videocard
    Thanks!
    Christiaan

    You need to make sure the image has an alpha channel.
    Images like jpeg dont have an alpha channel.
    Psd or png do and the image has to be RGB.
    Make sure the background in PS is also transparant.

  • Exporting text as an image from Photoshop

    I am using a non web safe font and so I am exporting the body of text as an image from Photoshop. Canvas size 900 x 600 pix 72 dpi.  However when viewing in the web browser the text looks soft and pixelated.  
    Does anybody know how I can solve this?   All I want is sharp lookinh text!

    Hi Vikas
    I export files from Photoshop as png's at 72 dpi.  
    Here is our current holding page.  http://www.iheartmylife.co.uk/ All the text on this page has been loaded in as png's from Photoshop along with the image. As you can see none of it is as sharp as it could be.
    Many thanks for your assistance.

  • Printing banner images from photoshop CS3

    Hi, I have successfully printed banners 1200mm x 297mm from my Xerox Phaser 7750 and Illustrator (Vector art). When I try to print a photographic image from Photoshop it all prints fine except the last 300mm or so. The image has white bars and properly printed image evenly spaced from top to bottom of the print. I have reduced the resolution and file size but the problem is still there with wider bars the lower the resolution. The original image was 160mb but I have the same issue with a 20mb image. ALso tried placing in Illustrator but get similar problems.
    I assume this is a memory issue but I thought lowering the file size drastically would fix it, yet it doesn't. The Printer has a relatively low amount of memory (384mb) but I would like to know if this is the real cause before I dive and buy more memory - big chips are still expensive on this.
    Any help would be very welcome.
    Thanks. Ant

    Hi, I will try printing from inDesign but I have managed to get an image to print out by changing the quality in the print driver to standard - it was previously on 'Enhanced' or 'Photo'. I had tried from Illustrator and had similar problems (printed OK with Illy created art though) so thought it may be a printer memory issue which does seem to be the case. I assumed that by reducing the file size/resolution it would print but it seemed to be the image quality that uses more computing power than the pixel count of the file. I guess a different RIP may also help as it could use the much higher RAM of the Mac rather than the printers meagre 384mb.
    I had originally thought it may be a P/Shop issue as I had problems printing to Epson inkjet some months ago and then Epson and Adobe seemed to blame each other!
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Cannot align images from photoshop

    i am importing images from photoshop and when i try and put them side by side one goes underneath. its like in microsoft word when you have the paragraphs on when you put images together. i need a option to un-wrap the images so they can go side by side rather than one under the other. i hope someone understands! i changed the borders on the images to "0" and still no joy. help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Taking images from Photoshop and taking them to Dreamweaver

    Why is it that when i take my images from photoshop and save them for the web, that when i open them in my dreamweaver html file they have lost quality and saturation in the image?

    There are 2 ways to do it correctly one is better then the other. The best way to bring an image into
    DW is to first create a layer based sliced and the copy & paste it direc
    tly into DW. When you do that you will get a Image optimize window, this is a built-in Firework image
    optimizer it does a much better job a maintaing quality will compressing image size. The second optioin is to use the save to web feature. Tehy work the same DW/FW does it better. If your image quality still is not what you want play around with your optimization settings without seeein the image I can't recommend the best setting but play around in your 2up/4up window.

  • How to insert cropped images from photoshop without the white background

    Basically all I want to do is take a peice of writing from a video and insert it into another video. To do this I've took a screenshot of the font from the video and imported it into photoshop. I've then cropped/cut/took the the peice of writing I want, letter by letter. I want to be able to insert it into another video, but whenever I attempt to do it, I have the default white background of photoshop. Is there anyway to insert an image from photoshop, without taking the background with it, or even insert a layer from photoshop straight into final cut pro? Sorry if this is confusing.

    I don't think so. I cropped the letters, put them each an individual file, removed the background, saved them as a TIF then tried to import them onto Final Cut Pro, but a white background still appeared in the TIF file. Basically I just want to make the background transparent I believe.

    Ask in the PSE/ PS forums. The simple answer is, though, that unless they are emebedded in the image or exist as sidecar XMP files PS won't use them. It doesn't look inside the PSE catalog files/ database.

    ... which means you have to use the menu /file/write metadata to files so that the tags and ratings are written in the files or sidecar files themselves.

  • What settings are best to export sharpened images from Photoshop to use in Final Cut?

    I need to give a professional photographer the correct dimensions to export her images from Photoshop for me to use in Final Cut. I told her:
    1080 x 1920, 300 dpi, and also to Convert Images to Apple RGB (Final Cut doesnt work well with Adobe RGB, I am told). Her images have alot of heavy sharpening on them--she is an artist--and when i import them into Final Cut, many of the lines that should be crisp are zig-zagged, and if I apply motion to them, they "shake."
    My problem is specific to images that have been highly sharpened in Photoshop; i have imported lots of professional images before with no problem. I am on deadline and hope someone out there will see this.

    You were right about trashing the finalcut plist. As well as a very specific set of directions I now have put together from what you and others have said elsewhere, and this is it, i hope it helps others with their Canon XHA1 and Final Cut Express HD:
    Trash the final cut preferences (plist) in your Home - LIbrary.
    go into the Canon XHA1 menu, make sure that you're not set to down-convert to DV.
    Get out of the menu. Shut the camera off,
    plug in the firewire cable to both the camera and computer,
    and turn the camera back to VCR mode.
    Open up Final Cut, and go to Easy Setup ,
    choose HDV- Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
    This worked beautifully but took me nearly four hours to figure out, including researching the web and experimenting in FCE HD
