Does consolidating masters retain Faces, Places and other metadata?

I just got done adding keywords, Faces and Places to ~2000 pictures, and I've decided I'm going to go ahead, take the full plunge and have Aperture manage my files.
Before I consolidate my images (via copy, so I have the option of using Lightroom or something else someday), I need to know: will all the work I've done migrate to the consolidated version of my Aperture library?
I'd hate to lose all of that work...
thanks,
paul

Whether the images are managed or referenced makes no difference to metadata etc. in Aperture.

P.S. If you're not already using other apps to directly access the files I'd not bother with copying, as you can always use File>Relocate Masters... to move them back out of the Library again.

I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people :(

There is no way to export Faces information.
I'm not sure why you would do this:
If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again,
If space is an issue then move the whole Library to an external drive:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Faces / Places and Mobileme Gallery question

Hi all, i could not find much on this but my question is when using faces / places and Mobileme gallery does this actually take up hard drive space ? With faces and places does that actaully create another image or is it just linked to your main library ? And for Mobileme Gallary does that actually download the images to your Mac ?
Thanks

Drop them on the desktop then upload directly from the MoMe Album.

If I do a creative cloud membership does it give me two computers and other devices like an ipad? Or just one computer one mobile device?

You can have functional installations on two machines. The machines have to meet the system requirements for the software.

Does ipad 3 support adobe flash and other various video formats?

does ipad 3 support adobe flash and other various video formats? Thanks/////!

Flash is not a video format. Flash is a platform that consists of a scripting language, and plug-in or application that presents a canvas and resources to run the scripts. It is possible for Flash to load video and play them in the canvas, but the video itself is a separate resource. Flash became a popular mechanism for video plaback mostly because the plugin was available for multiple browsers and the video codecs that Flash could load were consistent across multiple platforms, which made coding easier. It also made it simpler to add advertising overlays (especially before CSS3), and it was also a popular mechanism to distribute viruses.
In November of 2011, Adobe stopped development of and licensing of the use of Flash on mobile platforms, citing that HTML5 makes the primary uses for Flash obsolete. There is no version of Flash for iOS, or new or future versions of Android.
Adobe further indicated that they will be phasing out Flash plug-in support as well (such as the plugins used in Desktop web browsers), instead aiming to make Flash applications stand-along applications running on the desktop. No time table for that has been set, though they've just recently phased out Linux development. However, Flash is being actively developer for native applications and Adobe makes Flash Builder and AIR that allow you to make native applications for iOS and Android using the Flash development tools.
With regard to video formats... iOS natively supports MPEG-4 and various profiles thereof, and it supports the use of the HTML5 <video> tag to embed video in pages and in applications that leverage the WebKit environment to implement their UI. There are also apps that display other video formats.

Appending Keywords and other metadata to the masterfile

I can't find an answer to the question:
How do I append Keywords and other metadata I added in Aperture to the masterfile without exporting?
I need that to import all that metadata of the masterfiles in a Portfolio database.

I guess you will need a new copy of the RAW to import into Portfoilio. That's really the only way to get Aperture to make the XMP file that contains the keywords. There is a program called Annoture which can convert Aperture metadata into metadata for the program iView Media Pro. No one has made a program to get metadata directly into Portfolio. Aperture wpn't "embed" the keywords in a RAW file because it will not alter the original. Maybe someday Aperture will create DNG files.

People using Firefox have a problem on Face Book and others don't.

Users of Firefox , while on Face Book, will look at a video. Once finished, they go to look another person's photos. Opening the photos causes the past video to replay. It will keep doing it even though one goes back to stop the video. We have to completely leave Face Book and go back in.

Thanks for your feedback. I was not able to mention earlier that in my line of work, we use Notepad to check if the barcode text is written correctly or if the corresponding text can be found if searched in the PDF... We use FREE3OF9.TTF font when entering text values for the barcode (usually in document/part number format exclusive for our company's use) in AI CS11. After saving the AI file, we attach it in a document using FrameMaker 7.1, then a PDF file is created. The output PDF will be a certification sheet for our products. They (our clients) should be able to scan the document/part number out of the barcode. I'm sorry, I could not divulge any other information so I am not sure if this clears out the issue. It used to work before but I had to get my PC formatted and since then I have been encountering this problem. I am trying to figure out if we missed to install a component or something got messed up after re-installing Adobe Illustrator CS11.

Removing EXIF and other Metadata from iPhoto 5 Library

This post is intended for users who have upgraded to iPhoto5 and have suffered extensive slowdowns because of metadata that has accumulated in their iPhoto library, specifically in the Library.iPhoto file.
This occurs if certain Pentax, Canon, and other digital cameras are used for pictures. Search this forum for "metadata" or "EXIF" or "makernote" (no quotes) for additional information about this issue.
If you are affected by this issue and want to rid your iPhoto 5 library of this extra garbage, follow the steps below.
1. Make two copies of your complete iPhoto Library folder and put them someplace else other than in the normal location. If something goes wrong, you'll have the backups. In any event, understand that if you follow these instructions, you are responsible for any problems, errors, or loss of photos. If you aren't prepared to take that responsibility, then do not read any further.
2. Go to http://www.versiontracker.com and search for and download the free SmallImage application. Install it in your Applications folder.
3. In your original iPhoto library, trash the Library.iPhoto file.
4. Launch SmallImage by dragging your entire (ORIGINAL) iPhoto Library folder on top of SmallImage.
5. There are 5 categories (checkboxes) of metadata (called profiles) that you can eliminate. I selected them all. Uncheck the "Recompress at quality:" checkbox. You don't want your photos altered. Uncheck the "Add Suffix" checkbox so that SmallImage will overwrite your photos with ones without the metadata. Select whether you want keep any custom file icons or not. Then, hold your breath and push the "Process Files" button in the SmallImage toolbar. If you have thousands of photos and/or a slow computer, it might take many hours.
6. When SmallImage is finished, lauch iPhoto5, holding down the command/apple, option and shift keys. Before iPhoto fully loads, you'll be presented with the library rebuilding dialog box. Check ALL 4 options (especially the last one) and then allow iPhoto to rebuild the library. This also can take a very long time, depending on computer speed and the number of photos you have. When iPhoto is finished rebuilding the libary and reloading your photos, you'll have an iPhoto library without any the metadata that seems to be slowing it down. If you hold down the wrong keys and don't get the library rebuilding dialog box, don't panic. Quit iPhoto, and try it again. Your photos are still there.
7. If you stay with your current camera (that is generating the metadata), manually transfer your picture files to your computer (but not directly into iPhoto) and use SmallImage to remove the metadata BEFORE you manually import them into iPhoto5.
Hopefully, future versions of iPhoto5 will include an import option to strip metadata from photo files. If SmallImage can do it, why can't our favorite fruit company?
Best of luck.

Faces / Places and MobileMe Gallery?

Hi all,
I have all my photos stored on MobileMe, which were uploaded from my Mac at home, which had faces and places all set up. However, I've just set up iPhoto on my MacBook Air, to just use the MobileMe galleries (to save hard drive space), and the faces and places data hasn't transferred. I don't mind setting it up again, but I can't seem to get started - I can see Faces has scanned all my photos, but there's no way of adding any names to the photos. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance!

Splitting the Library will not save you any disk space, and will, in fact, use more as the database and support files will be duplicated. Also, it's less convenient as you can only access one Library at a time. If you're worried about disk space you can run a Library from an external disk.
That said:
Duplicate the Library in the Finder.
Open the first one - lets say it's the 2009 one - and remove all the 2008 elements from it.
Then Open the second one and remove all the 2009 elements from it.
Result: two libraries, intact for the respective years.
To choose a Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

Export photos retaining date. time and other EXIF info

When I export photos to folders outside of IPhoto (so that these duplicates can be opened by folks who may not have Macs). I lose the time, date and camera information. How do I export JPGs that retain this info?

If you simply select the photos in iPhoto and export them (file menu ==> export) as JPEGs they will have that information in the EXIF fields within the JPEG - you can not see the EXIF data using the finder - you need a program like Preview or EXIF viewer - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/ - to view the EXIF data

Why does my iphone have poor coverage and other phones work good

i have two AT&T phones, 1 iphone 4 and the other a motorola tundra for work. My question is why does the Motorola tundra have 100% signal and my iphone go in and out of service continually....from 3g to no service and then to E network then back to O network and then to no signal at all. very frustrating

Open the App, then try the settings and options within the Game.

Uploading data file with specific encoding and other metadata

Hello everyone.
I've been recently testing Microsoft Codename "Data Hub". When select the option to upload a CSV or XLSX file to populate my database, it basically has two problems, in my opinion:
1. It would be great if I could select the file's encoding. If my file is in Spanish, it won't properly load latin characters (e.g. accents, or special characters). The information ends up showing with a bunch of weird characters.
2. It also doesn't let me select which character to use as data separator. It uses the comma as the default. Some of the data might contain commas, so I usually change the separator to a pipe in my CSV files.
Does anybody know any workarounds?
Thanks.

Hey there, and apologies. I wanted to reach out and see if this is still a problem for you.
I also wanted to check if this is a question about Azure SQL Database or something else?
Thanks Guy

U3D, Ids and other metadata in the sceneobject

From the JS3D reference, and the "supported elements" in U3D, it seems that there could exist some overlap between what is accessible on a sceneobject through js and what is in the U3D, but that mapping is not explained anywhere. In particular I would like to know if these properties map to anything in the U3D file and what that mapping is:
SceneObject.name The SceneObject objectâs name.
Type: string
SceneObject.objectGUID
A value that uniquely identifies the SceneObject in custom data.
Type: string
SceneObject.objectID
An unsigned 32-bit value that uniquely identifies the SceneObject.
Type: integer
Thanks!
Johan

For the last two items, the scene does not automatically assign any U3D metadata to these properties. The latest reference for them can be found here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9/Acrobat9_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhel p.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=JS_3D_Intro.90.1.html
However, the "metadataString" property might give you something you could use. Here's a hunk of JS code to show the values of all node properties in the Acrobat JS console. Attach this script to the model and compare the output to what you see from your original U3D creation program. There indeed could be some overlap you would find useful, and this is the easiest way to determine that, I'll bet (and the most dependable way).
First, here's how to use the script, just in case:
1) Attach the script to the 3D object, not as page script. To do this, use the "Select Object Tool" and double-click the 3D annot, click the 3D tab, script field is at bottom.
2) Activate the 3D annot, and open the Javascript console (ctrl+j) to see the results of the property search.
Here's the script:
console.println ("Number of nodes in scene = " + scene.nodes.count + "\n");
console.println ("Looping through nodes...\n");
for (i = 0; i < scene.nodes.count; i++)
objNode = scene.nodes.getByIndex(i);
console.println ("------------------------------------------------------");
console.println ("NODE INDEX " + i);
console.println ("-------------");
if (objNode == undefined)
{ console.println (" *** node = undefined ***\n\n"); }
else
console.println (" PROPERTIES:");
console.println (" objNode.firstChild = " + objNode.firstChild );
console.println (" objNode.hitEnabled = " + objNode.hitEnabled );
console.println (" objNode.info = " + objNode.info );
console.println (" objNode.metadataString = " + objNode.metadataString );
console.println (" objNode.name = " + objNode.name );
console.println (" objNode.nextSibling = " + objNode.nextSibling );
console.println (" objNode.objectGUID = " + objNode.objectGUID );
console.println (" objNode.objectID = " + objNode.objectID );
console.println (" objNode.parent = " + objNode.parent );
console.println (" objNode.type = " + objNode.type );
console.println (" objNode.transform = " + objNode.transform );
console.println (" objNode.wireframeColor = " + objNode.wireframeColor );
console.println (" objNode.visible = " + objNode.visible );
console.println ("");
console.println (" METHODS:");
console.println (" objNode.detachFromCurrentAnimation(). = " + objNode.detachFromCurrentAnimation() );
console.println ("\n");

Are keywords and other metadata in web galleries Google-searchable

I am currently creating my first website and wish to use one of the website templates in LR 2.6.
My question is, will Google-etc search engines 'see' my keywords and image titles during their searches?
I hope someone can help.
Thank you

Not by google, yet, but by other methods.
.Jeffreys Exif viewer will read it and there are other web based image search engines that do. Only time before google does likewise I would guess.
