Exporting as Jpeg in Aperture

When I export a version as a jpeg, it wont open in Nikon View 6. Error is unsupported file type. However, does open in photoshop and preview. Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Size refers to the Pixel dimensions of the image. So, Jpeg Original Size means it'll be the same length x breadth as the original.
Aperture does not "recompress images on export".
Think of it this way: A Jpeg is a container for your photo -  like a box for shoes. When you work in Aperture it works on the image not the file. When you export it puts the image into a new box - and the size of that box will depend on the settings you choose. So more compression, smaller box. Less compression, bigger box. It's perfectly possible to export an image to a file that's larger then the original file.
To adjust the compression used on the export, Click on the Export preset drop down and note the option to Edit. Image Quality is the one to check out.

  • Exporting as JPEG

    I'm trying to export my D70s RAW files as JPEGs from Aperture and the end result is total garbage - very pixelated. Another useless feature of Aperture.
    It's looking more and more like I've just wasted $500 and despite what Apple is claiming the wait still continues for one-stop software that can deal with all the pro photographers workflow/management needs.

    I'm also experiencing heavy pixelation when exporting as JPEG from Aperture -- at least at reduced sizes (as for web galleries).
    Here are some samples:
    http://crimdom.net/photos/2005/africa/aperture-issue/index.html
    It looks like excessive sharpening or a lack of anti-aliasing when reducing images via export.
    I'm thrilled with the potential of Aperture in terms of workflow and managing versions but also very much needing to see issues like this addressed. In the meantime, I guess I'm going to have to export the full-size revisions and use something else to resize them. Erg.

  • I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

    I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

    If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
    If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

  • Finding original filename from exported renamed jpeg

    Typically I import over 1,000 images from a job into a project.
    I edit and export around 500 final images as jpegs renamed sequentially for my client.
    My client asks for say a colour version of a particular black & white image but the file info on my clients image does not contain any reference to the original filename.
    Is there any way to include the original filename in exif data when exporting the images from Aperture?

    There's a simpler method which you might consider using.
    What file naming convention are you using on import? Why not rename your camera files on import into Aperture something like " dateclient_joboriginalfilename ". You could then either use that, or export with that name plus a sequential numbering scheme.
    Or -- the same as Viren's excellent suggestion -- select all the files you are going to export, create duplicate versions, with the duplicates still selected create a new Album containing all of them, then use Aperture to rename the Versions prior to export and export using the Version name. Versions don't use much space (they are text files), and you end up with an Album of neatly numbered Versions of just the photos you've given to your client +with the file names of their files exactly the same as your Aperture Version names+.

  • Finding photos on my MAC and Editing JPEGs in Aperture or Photoshop

    Hello all!
    This has been a great forum and I have learnt tons of information.  I'm a recent convert to MAC computers and I have been working with Aperture 3.  Whenever I upload images from my camera to my laptop, it automatically uploads into Aperture 3.  Now I am having trouble importing select images into Photoshop CS5.  When I go to Finder and select pictures, there is an icon titled "Aperture Library".  When I click on that it opens Aperture and I can view all my photos in the folders I created.  How do I export a single photo into Photoshop for editing?  How can I view my photos in folders without opening up Aperture?  I'm used to being able to do this with my PC, so I assumed the MAC would work in a similar fashion.  I assumed that instead of the "Aperture Library" icon, there would be folders and subfolders corresponding to the folders and subfolders I created in Aperture.  Please help!!
    Also, my camera only shoots JPEG images (no RAW).  Is it true that I can't edit JPEG images in Aperture...or at least this is not recommended?  This is what I have read, as I will degrade the image quality.  It appears, though, that I can edit the JPEG images in Photoshop CS5, correct?  I'm at least able to edit the pictures using the "Camera Raw" feature in Photoshop, from what I have read.
    Thanks in advance for your help.  I've been scouring the internet for answers to no avail.  If you feel another post answers my question, feel free to link the post in your response.
    Thanks again,
    Mike

    Thanks Ernie.  Your reply was much appreciated and what you said clarified a few things.  I did watch several tutorials about Aperture 3 and they stated that there is no point in editing a JPEG in Aperture.  Basically your camera is already compressing (or reducing the quality) of the image in order to convert to JPEG, which is obviously a smaller size than RAW.  Therefore, when you make edits to a JPEG in Aperture, you are again compressing the image, and reducing the quality even further...potentially to unacceptable levels.  Is this not true...at least for someone learning photography editing / manipulation.  My goal is to make something look good to the average person...I'm not trying to win any awards here.  Does the same hold true for photoshop? Put it this way....I'm an aspiring amateur . 
    Also is it possible to view your photos outside of Aperture...somewhere in the Finder menu?  Aperture is my default program...when I plug my camera into my laptop, Aperture opens up and all my photos are imported there.
    I was thinking of buying a point and shoot camera that also took RAW photos.  Just with all the money I've spent this last six months (macbook pro, logic studio, aperture, photoshop, akai mpk25, external lcd monitor, and krk speakers), I'd rather stick to my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH22.  Wow...it's going to be hard to look at my credit card statement .  At least I have 0% for 18 months!!
    Thanks again.  Any additional input is appreciated.

  • How do i convert raw to jpeg in aperture

    How do I convert raw to jpeg in Aperture 3 ?

    I find all this rather strange! I often convert RAW to Jpeg if I want to keep an image for reference but it doesn't merit or require the 8 to 10MB of the RAW file (on my computer, my external drive, or anywhere else). For example, I take photos of artefacts in museums, and I also photograph the labels/legends beside them, for reference. I can keep those solely as quite small Jpegs since I'm never going to want to print them.
    (No, I don't want to switch settings on the camera while I do this - I'll only forget to switch back, and then have loads of low-res Jpegs that were meant to be glorious RAW).
    In other software I've used, there's a batch convert that makes this very simple. Seems that in Aperture I'm obliged to export and then re-import. Not a big deal, but a slight pain in the arse all the same, and a little odd.
    Anyway, thanks to the above posts, I now know how to do the export-import malarkey. I couldn't find it in the manual.
    cheers,
    Helen

  • With existing large managed library, can I export only jpegs to a laptop?

    Hi folks,
    The subject line is perhaps not well phrased, but I'm wondering is it possible to do the following: given that I have a large, well-established Aperture library with all of my RAWs on my desktop machine, is it possible to nicely export the JPEGs of those RAWs into a library file that could fit on my laptop, for preview purposes?
    It'd be necessary to keep ratings and other metadata, of course, although I don't care about syncing any changes I make on the laptop back.

    If you use referenced masters, then generate previews of all of your images (will take a long time). The previews live in the library. Copy that library to your laptop, then you can delete the previews in your main library.
    Since you use managed masters, you'll have to relocate them temporarily.

  • Exporting a Version from Aperture

    This is driving me nuts. I've got a 5 meg Jpeg in Aperture that I'm trying to export a version of at it's original size. The version and the original are both exactly the same with no modifications at all. When I export version I choose "original size" but when it exports the file size ends up at 2.5 meg. It doesn't seem to matter which file I choose, the exported file size is always about half the original.
    Any thoughts?

    Because you're dealing with JPEG compression. JPEG is a lossy compression; files will be re-compressed every time they are saved. There is no way to "guarantee" that a 5 MB JPEG file will be 5 MB when it's exported: You will never get the exact same size if a file is re-compressed.
    If you want it to be larger than 2.5 MB for some reason, then set the export quality to 11 or 12 and you'll get a bigger file. It may not be much if any higher quality though.

  • IPTC on export to jpeg screwy

    OK, I import some RAW images, add some captions, then export to jpeg. I then open the image in Graphic Converter, and the for the images I have added a caption to, GC says there are two caption fields! One is the caption I added and the other is the IFD0 field calle "ImageDescription" and is set to: "KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA". If I don't enter a caption, the caption is set to "KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA".
    Worse, when importing into Gallery2 the IPTC information is not imported. I'm not the only one with the issue.
    If I save the file in GC and then import into Gallery2 it works great.
    THis all just leads me to believe that Aperture (1.1.2) is not exporting the IPTC info correctly. Your thoughts?

    >The problem is the difference between my workspace (lightroom) and the resulting JPEG (lightroom export). All my JPEG-exports from lightroom have more red than the version in lightroom.
    If you are really exporting to sRGB jpegs (again, shooting in sRGB mode on your camera has NO impact on the RAW files - check whether the export settings in Lightroom are set to sRGB!), there are usually several possible causes for the redshift.
    1. Your screen calibration is bad. This is very common and the fix is usually trashing the monitor profile and creating a new one. A common issue is bad monitor profiles supplied by monitor vendors.
    2. You are using a wide gamut monitor such as an Eizo, one of the Dell HC screens, etc., and are viewing the exports in unmanaged apps. If you have a monitor that has a gamut significantly different from sRGB, you cannot use unmanaged apps, such as Internet explorer or Firefox 2.0 (basically every windows app except for Vista picture viewer basically), to judge color of your images. You need to use color managed apps, such as Safari, Photoshop, etc. to judge the color. Viewing sRGB images in unmanaged apps on such a screen will make your image appear oversaturated.
    3. You are using a dual monitor setup and the OS is confused which profile belongs to which screen. Especially on windows, it is often not possible to really correct for two different screens even if the software tells you it does. This can be hard to diagnose, but usually it just takes plugging out one monitor and recalibrating the one that is still connected.
    In conclusion, If you have a typical normal-gamut monitor and you have calibrated correctly, you should see almost NO shift when exporting to sRGB jpegs and viewing in unmanaged apps. The images should look identical in apps that are managed.

  • How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

    (Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.)  How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?  (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB;  Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core  2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)

    How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
    Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD.  It only can export a video of your slideshow.
    In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
    Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.
    I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring.  Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.”
    Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
    How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

  • Is it possible to export a Book from Aperture 3 to iPhoto?

    I shot a wedding for a friend and made a layout of a book on Aperture 3.
    Printed a few books which I thought were beautiful.
    I was wondering if it would be possible to export this book from Aperture (with the layout and photos intact) as a file (editable or read-only), so my friend can import and open it using iPhoto and order more copies of the book through Apple when she pleases.
    Tried Google and couldn't find an answer. Thank you for taking the time.

    How about importing from iPhoto into Aperture 3?
    I have made a photobook in iPhoto and then bought Aperture 3, but I can't find it possible to export the book in a format that I can open in Aperture. Also, when I export the book in size Large or above, iPhoto crashes.

  • No longer able to export in JPEG-B

    I have this vexing issue that I cannot figure out. I can no longer export as JPEG-B. It has vanished from the list of available formats to export to. I have tried deleting the preferences and restarting the system. But no luck. Anyone have any suggestions. Or have a similar problem.

  • Failed to export the JPEG file

    When I attempt to export a jpeg from InDesign I get the following error message, please help:
    "Failed to export the JPEG file: File cannot be written.
    Disc may be locked or full."
    The disc it is writing to has 90Gb of memory free and I've tried knocking the quality of the export down with no success.
    I am running CS6 on a fully updated Macbook Pro.
    Thanks.

    I'm trying to export to the hard drive on the Mac as usual, and have never had this issue before?

  • InDesign CS6 "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full."

    I get this error "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full." when sending small (3"x3") and large (40"x60") files to a printer hot folder. Sometime if I close the program and restart it will let me export. What could be causing this to happen?
    I am on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM PC.

    I guess the printer is grabbing the file before it is entirely written…
    Workaround: Do not save to a hot folder. Move the files after exporting to the hot folder.

    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:
    SamanthaR22 might have written:
    How do I access Images in my Aperture Library in the Finder?  I would like I be able to select files in the Finder when I am making photo books online without having to create them by exporting Images from Aperture into a new Finder folder. Is there any way to view and download my Images directly from the Finder?
    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).
