Export version as raw

How can I export a version as a raw file? I only get options for jpeg and tiff, etc.
Thanks

A RAW file is produced directly by the camera's sensor, so you cannot make a RAW file from other than a camera.
If you're looking to export (your master or a version) in an uncompressed or non-losy format check out TIFF and PNG. Cheers,

Issues exporting versions from tiff files

I upgraded to Aperture 3 [3.0.2] running on 10.6. Aperture works fine, except when trying to export a version of a tiff file [these are 8 bit 200mb scans]. Exporting a master from a tiff file works, exporting versions from RAW files work, but Aperture "hangs" when trying to export a version of a tiff file. I do have access to the tiff versions when using the media browser in other applications (Pages, iWeb etc.).
So far I tried all repair options [pressing cmd/ctrl while starting up] and i tried importing and than exporting a tiff file under Ap3, assuming something went wrong while updating from Ap2 to Ap3. Same results.
???

can you provide your export settings. I tried it and it works...but my tifs are not 200mb.

Error: exporting versions is done using RAW

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem which I couldn't find in the different communities.
My workflow: As usual, I'm importing my pictures in RAW and process it in Aperture (3.1.2). Now, I wanted to export the pictures in JPEG. To do so, I right-clicked on the desired project, chose "Export --> Versions", and in the export presets "JPG - Original size".
The export was working fine (the folders were created), but the pictures exported were no JPEG but RAW (file format CR2, I have a Canon 500D), and - hardly surprising - without any of my my adjustments. The result is the same whether I'm exporting individual pictures or whole projects, and even changing the presets for the export (e.g. TIFF) doesn't change anything; Aperture insists on RAW being the file format of the exported pictures.
And just to answer the most likely question: Yes, I've chosen "Export --> Versions" and not "Export --> Masters". :-)
Anyone has an idea what I've done wrong?
Kind regards
Dirk

Hi Kirby, hi Ernie,
thanks for your help... after a lot of trying, I found at least the reason for the error. :-)
The Aperture library is situated on a NAS, and the image files are stored within the library (that was the import setting as well). It seems that Aperture has got some troubles with that situation. In the browser, the badge "the referenced image master is offline" is displayed for all the images. Strange enough, because all the image masters are stored in the library (the NAS is online as well), and I can access the library.
It seems that with this status, Aperture can't export properly. After some trying found out that I found out that if duplicate the version of the image, Aperture doesn't think any more that the referenced image master is offline. When I export this version, everything is fine.
I don't really understand what's going on, but the question has shifted somehow - no export problem any more, but "How can I import images to a Aperture library situated on a NAS without creating the problem mentioned above".
Dirk
PS:
English is not my first language, so I apologize for any errors.

Poor image quality on exported version

I am trying to export versions of my photos to a folder on my external drive. Every time I do this the resulting jpg is washed out and has poor resolution + a ton of noise. The resulting image is substantially lighter than the images in my aperture window, yet the histogram does not indicate that the images should be that light or washed out.
The images are all starting as RAW images. The export settings are for image quality 12, 300 dpi, sRGB, original jpg. I have onscreen proofing turned on and set to sRGB. My print lab said that the image quality could be 10, but when they looked so horrible I bumped them up.
I had Aperture for a long time before upgrading to Aperture 2 in March. From March to August I did not have any problems, so this is a more recent problem. I have not yet upgraded to Snow Leopard. Please help!!! Thanks!!!

Hi
a. make a DiskImage first and test this with Apple DVD-player.
(File menu and down "Make a DiskImage")
b. I only use streamingDV - no .m4v or like (may be it works - I don't know)
else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !

Rating in exported versions

I live with "portable library" which is exported JPEG up to 1024 pt- so I can hold
above 8000 pictures eaten just something like 3 GB.
I do not know if is possible by exporting versions to extra file ( out of Aperture)
to have available for import again into Aperture in PB 12".
This is extra job rewrite ratings. I am exporting just From 3* to 5*.
If publisher wants to sent an offer - is simple prepare selection.
Another qustion I have : selecting "smart albums" by keywords i cannot search
within album by anorther keyword.For example album" deer" and I want lo find pictures from winter every picture has season described.
Thank you

linus,
just to be able to compare our observatiions on EXIF - what is your Aperture version? And how did you export, with "File > Export" (the original or an edited version), and which format - tiff, jpeg?
Exporting an edited version of a Canon raw image as jpeg, and reimporting to Aperture will preserve all EXIF tags, that are visible in Aperture, at least, that is what I am seeing in Aperture 3.4.5. The only changed tag is the "Software" tag.
After reimporting an exported jpeg I am seeing these EXF-tags in Aperture, exactly the same as before, including Camera Make and Camera Model:
Looking at the exported image file with Preview's Inspector, I am seeing the lens in the EXIF section of the Inspectore panel, and the Camera Make in the "TIFF" section of the Inspector panel.

Léonie

Exporting Versions sends master and version files

For some reason when I try to export versions of my photos instead of exporting just the versions aperture sends both the master and the version. Any ideas of how this can be avoided? Do I have something wrong in a preset or preference?

Do you mean that you are getting the original RAW file as well?

Exporting version with metadata

Hi there,
this is probably an easy question. If I have a file (RAW or JPG), make some changes on it using aperture, including changes in the metadata such as adding tags and possibly GPS data, then how do I export the edited version so that the metadata of the export reflects the changes I have made within aperture?
Currently I command click on the photo and ask to "export version". I select the "JPG - original size" option, which, upon inspection, has the box "include metadata" ticked. But the exported file only has the metadata that came from the camera. Keywords are always gone and GPS data is often (?) gone.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks a lot,
Gil

Apologies. Just found an earlier thread which deals with this bug in aperture:

Missing caption metadata in Export Version

I have a new Canon SX260. When I export version from Aperture 3.3.2, caption info isn't included in the exported file. Location and EXIF are included. Exported versions from my older Canon S2IS and from my iPhone do have caption info. I can export the metadata into a text file OK. Export preset has "include Metadata" checked. I would expect that Aperture creates a new JPEG with space for all the metadata even if the original file didn't have the space. Any suggestions to getting the caption included in the exported version?

In a separate thread, this solution was provided. Now all the captions that I exported show up int he caption field when I re-import the photos.
Re: Exports Don't Include IPTC/Copyright Info
Nov 8, 2012 6:39 AM (in response to jas)
I had jpg (not raw) images in Aperture from both a Nikon D5100 and a Nikon AW100. I added captions to the images and then exported them as jpegs. The D5100 jpgs show the caption under Preview, the AW100 jpg do not.
I found a work-around using the free program exiftool (google it) and Terminal.
In terminal I changed to the folder which contained my AW100 images and then entered this command to re-write all the IPTC data.
exiftool -iptc:all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe ./

Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
*There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

Exporting from Aperture, RAW+edits or JPEGs?

Forgive me if this is a basic question for seasoned users but I am new to Aperture (just coming to the end of a trial period).
I shoot in RAW format but have recently also included a JPEG medium sized version.
I have imported both versions into Aperture 3 and have chosen the raw version as the one to be viewed.
I would like to export the raw versions, as adjusted, into high quality large size file JPEGs which I can then burn to disk to share.
I can see how I export the master (with no ability to change the format) or the JPEG as it is (or at even a lower resolution). How do I get large size JPEGS from the raw version?
I have looked a little while for the answer - if it does happen to be covered elsewhere and I have not spotted it, please go easy on me.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
In your camera, are you shooting RAW+JPEG, i.e. the JPEG is imbedded within a single file that includes the RAW image? This is an option for example on Canon cameras. When you Import form your camera, there are several options in the Import pane on the right side of Aperture’s window. You can select RAW+JPEG and use the RAW as Master or use the JPEG as Master. You should always select RAW as Master as you are limiting your control over the images if you work with JPEGs as Master. The JPEGs you import with those RAW files are not wasted however as Aperture will use them when present to generate Previews. Previews, when used, are what Aperture displays in the Viewer mode; Thumbnails are smaller than Previews and are displayed in the Browser mode.
You mentioned you are making adjustments to the Masters. I assume those Masters are your RAW files. So the images that are based on your adjusted Masters are called Versions. When you export, you can still Export Masters but those files will not include your adjustments. Typically you’ll want to Export Versions so the images you export include your adjustments.
Now to maximize the quality of the exported images, you can use the Aperture -> Presets -> Image Export to define how you want the images exported. You can Export your RAW adjusted images as JPEGs, TIFFs, PSDs, etc. So let’s say you choose JPEGs as the output format for your exported files.
When you execute the Aperture -> Presets -> Image Export or Files -> Export command, you’ll see a similar dialog in terms of selecting the image format and other items. It sounds like you want to use the JPEG format, original size, with high quality (use 10 or 12 for the image quality setting).
Are you exporting to be able to view on the Web (or any screen) or to print? If the goal is just to view, then you can select a DPI (dots per inch or PPI, pixels per inch) such as 72 or 100 or whatever matches your screen. If you are sending it to other people, you may likely select 72 as that’s the old screen default density. If you are planning on printing from the exported files, then you’ll want to select at least 300 dpi in the export panel.
As for colour profile, you can use the default sRGB as that will be commonly available for most users or make another selection as you wish. Your camera likely defaults to using sRGB colour space, but you can change that in some cameras to something like Adobe RGB 1998 if you have that option.
That should get you started. To summarize, define the settings you want in the Presets and I hope you have a better understanding of what Aperture does when you import your RAW+JPEG files and export Versions.

How to export the original raw file?

I have read a few threads about this but have not seen the answer.
The original file from my camera (.PEF) now exists only in the Aperature library. I want to export a copy to my desktop so I can do some special processing with Pentax software. How do I export the original .PEF file? (Exporting Masters only gives me processed file types like TIFF and JPEG.)

Export Version gives you a processed file such as a TIFF or JPEG.
Export Master will give you a copy of the original RAW file.
Please double-check that you used the correct export command...

Cannot export versions

Using latest version (3.5.1) of Aperture on Mavericks, all latest updates installed on MBP Mid 2012, export versions stopped working completly after succesfuly exporting cca 1500 images.
Originals I'm trying to export are RAWs (Canon EOS60D .CR2, latest firmware on the camera), referenced images on local drive.
Have tried different locations for export, fixing permissions on Aperture Library, reboot the machine, nothing helped. Have tried multiple and single image export. Wouldn't suspect low memory, 16GB installed.
I'm trying to export full size JPGs with into custom folder name with version filename. Have tried on several aperture libraries, none works. I'm stuck
Searching console for "Aperture" shows following message:

Thanks in advance for any idea on how to make export verions work again.

You seem to have already tried a lot of the right things.
You didn't mention 'Repair Database' so I would try that option next (as always, ensure you have a good backup). 'Repair Database' is accessed from the same screen as 'Repair Permissions.
If that option doesn't help then, my next step would be to test it with a new user account.
First creat the new account from system preferences.
Then log out of your current user account and log in with the new one.
Run Aperture from that account (you'll get a new empty library so will have to import a few photos).
What this lets you do is see if the issue is system-wide (for all users, even though you may be the only user) or thw issue is localised to your account.
If it still doesn't work with that new account, it's probably system wide. If it does work, the problem is localised to your user account, and there are additional troubleshooting steps you can follow, like removing presets and preferences. See HT3805 for trouble shooting basics and how to preform these.
The fact that it stopped working after such a large export is possibly interesting. Exported versions is a peice of metadata that Aperture tracks, so it's easy to imagine how a small glitch may have caused a number of problems. However, repair database should sort any minor database problems out.
Have you rebooted your machine since that export? Perhaps a temporary chache needs clearing.

Export versions without crop applied

Hi-
I am needing to quickly export my versions (~20 photos, 1 version each) without the crop applied.
I can export the masters but then I lose levels (and other) adjustments from the RAW. What I'd like to be able to do is:
On the Export Versions dialog window, [de]-select certain adjustments that should not be applied on the export. I think that would be a cool feature.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Scott

I believe you will find that you can select any cropped photo, click on the Crop tool, click outside the crop borders, which will remove the crop, lift adjustments and then click on all the other cropped photos and Stamp. This Stamp will remove only the crop. You can then Export, and the with all those still selected, use Edit to Undo the Stamp that had removed the crop.

Double image when exporting versions

Hi, I exported a version of a RAW file to PS CS2 for editing with no problems but subsequently all other versions I exported from Aperture will have a double image of the initial file sandwiched together regardless whether I open it with Preview or PS. However, there are no such problem if I drag the thumbnail from Aperture to Desktop before opening it.
What have I done wrong???

Hi Firstlaunch,
what I did was wrong. I should have used "Open with external editor" instead of "Export Versions", which is low res jpegs in my preference setting. Anyway, I then open these jpegs with PS CS2 and got on with my editing. The edited pics are then re-imported to Aperture and that's where the problem began. All exported jpegs from then on will have a double-image/multi exposure of the first pic I exported.
I can't show you screen shot cos I've since trashed all the file on Aperture and re-installed everything. I still don't know what caused the problem but I'm doing it the right way now and everything's fine. Thanks.

Trouble with JPG version of RAW in email, web

Hi,
Im new to this forum and relatively new to Aperture. Im hoping maybe someone can clue me in as to what is going on here:
I shoot in RAW (Nikon D80). I do all my editing in Aperture, and everything works and looks great. Now say I want to email a smaller JPG version. I do an export version, which I look at on my computer (Macbook Pro), and it looks fine. I email the JPG, and somewhere in the email process, something happens to my colors. The email is received on the other end and the colors have faded drastically. I also have had the same problem when uploading JPGs to a site to order prints from. This problem only occurs with RAW, and not if I shoot in JPG. I do have Aperture 2.1, and OSX 10.5.2. Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Gregg

Hi Gregg,
You need to check what colour profile is being attached to the exported JPegs. It sounds like they are being exportd with Adobe RGB profile. That will look fine on your Mac as the Mac applications are colour profile aware; but because other browsers (on PCs for instance) are not colour profile aware, the JPegs will be displayed on the assumption that they are in sRGB profile. This will produce exactly the situation you describe - faded and desaturated colours. For any web work, you must export them with sRGB profile.
Hope this helps,
Simon
