Exporting from Aperture to Photoshop CS3- file format

If I have my files in raw CR2 format in Aperture 2.1 and I then go to the edit the image in photoshop CS3 will it remain in the raw CR2 format or does it convert it to a tiff file automatically?
Currently I have PS CS2 and it converts to a tiff file when I go edit in photoshop however I thought this may be beacuse PS CS2 does not support raw files from my Canon 40D, PS CS3 does though.
Incidently the same thing happens when I use the dodge and burn tool in Aperture 2, it conversts to Tiff format.

"Will there ever" is a loaded question Apple rarely comments on future product releases, and anyone that would know wouldn't be able to comment.
So it's not possible to say if future dodge & burn (or other plugins) can work without rendering a TIFF file.
As far as "multiple file formats" though -- it shouldn't really be something you need to worry about (other than the fact that the TIFF takes up some disk space). You can export to JPEG from the original or the version, and Aperture will track the files together.

What is the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc. tiff? psd? 16bit? dpi?

What are the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc for editing?
Should I use tiff or psd?
8bit or 16bit?
How many dpi?

That will depend on the photometric resolution of your originals. For jpegs it would be a waste of space to convert them to a higher resolution than 8bit, but if your images actually have already more than 8bit, you will want to preserve this quality. Then he 16bit format will help to prevent color clipping.
Both tiff and psd will preserve the lossless workflow. With Photoshop as external editor I would use he psd format for better support of layers and transparency, e.g., when you want to create watermark files.
The dpi will only matter, when you export the file for printing.

Need to Export All Images from Aperture to Photoshop. Can anyone help?

I'm new to Mac. Just got my iMac in January. I wanted to buy the Mac version of Photoshop Elements 8, but the Apple salesperson convinced me that Aperture 2 would be much easier. After three months, I've discovered that Aperture is just not for me. I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac today. I would like to move all of my images from Aperture to Photoshop and delete Aperture from my computer. I cannot figure out how to do this. Whenever I try to export, the Aperture "library" appears as a big block that won't open or prompt for subfolders. Please help!

Pvonk has good advice. I just want to make sure you understand the Aperture has a Master and at least one Version of each image file. The Master is the original -- never touched. The Version is at first a copy of the Master, but as soon as you make any changes it holds those changes. So you have to decide whether you want to export the Masters, the Versions, or both (which you'll have to do separately, afaik). Aperture gives you the choice. Click "Photos" in the Library tab of the Inspector, then select all, then "File>>Export". If you want to maintain your groupings (e.g.: Projects), you will probably have to select the images in each group and export them as a unique set.
Note that Aperture is a very powerful image database (pros refer to this as "Digital Asset Management") in addition to (w. v. 3) being a very powerful digital photograph development lab. Photoshop Elements does none of the former, and a very different kind of job than the latter.

Sharpness APERTURE vs iPHOTO~file exported from Aperture worse than iPhoto

HEY.
i'm recently using Aperture for my Photo Editing work.I found that everything Good and Perfect after fine tune and preview in the Window of Aperture...while Export it to the Jpeg (originaly image import from jpeg file) I found it's a bit loose from what i see in the Window Aperture...means,Loose the Sharpness...whole image getting un-sharp or s'ld i say added gausion blur of feel??
Once i import it(the one exported from Aperture) into iPhoto and Export it (even down size to 800 of diamention) it became Sharp and nice colour tone while compare with the one which Export from Aperture!!!!
Why?
In the Export setting of Aperture i do set the Quality to max 12 and 300dpi even...
Need your hand...thanks!!

WARNING! The sharpness problem is occurring in iPhoto modifications as well! I'm running Tiger and Leopard at the same time on 2 different computers - SAME EXACT SHARPNESS problems. The problem is NOT the OS - it's in the APPLE Photo Aps!

Exporting from Illustrator to Photoshop: Not Enough Memory To Save File

Exporting from Illustrator to Photoshop: Not Enough Memory To Save File
I have plenty of memory (6 GB) and the files I try to export are not very big (some less than 5 MB). Yet, I keep getting the above message: Not Enough Memory To Save File
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Up-thread, John Joslin mentioned that "memory" is more than RAM. It is RAM, Virtual Memory, Scratch Disk, and is also governed by the allocations for your Adobe programs (in this case).
The first thing that I would explore is the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File) settings. This ARTICLE might give you some tips.
Also, see this ARTICLE on setting up a computer for an editing session. It's geared more towards doing video editing, but applies to PS work too.
Then, go to Edit>Preferences in both PS and AI, and check the allocation of your memory. Too often, people run that up, and then they starve the OS, or any other programs.
Good luck,
Hunt

Export from Aperture builds file structure like projects/albums

Hi!
I use Aperture but also want to use iPhoto (for iLife-Integration - and for the superb presentation facitilities like slideshos with Ken Burns effect etc.).
I´d like to know whether there is a possibility to export from Aperture - perhaps via Automator-script - that the structure of projects, folders, albums, etc. is beeing transferred into the same structure but made of folders. The picture-files themselves should be jpgs.
Can something like that be realized in Automator? Or is there another possibility to get such a result?
regards,
Sandro

When you export versions via the export versions window you have the opportunity to specify the output folder structure for the images.
So for example you can select a subfolder structure using the images year/month/day or the project name or the image year/month etc.
You'll need to look through the options and see what settings will work for you.

Edit from aperture to photoshop

When I edit my photos from aperture 3 to photoshop it transfers from a raw file to a tiff file. Is there an easy way to transfer a raw file from aperture to Photoshop and maintain it as a raw file. I presently have to export the raw file from aperture to my desktop and then drag it to Photoshop.

That is the only way to do it. Aperture is designed to utilize the RAW file as the Master which will never be altered. Therefore it does not send it to external editors, but instead sends a lossless format file that includes the RAW interpretation of Aperture, along with any edits you make.
Why do you feel the need to use the RAW in Photoshop, btw?

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

What happened to my "Photoshop JPEG file" format?

On my previous two computers -- a G5 running 10.4, a MacBookPro on 10.5, both using Photoshop CS3 -- I used to have two kinds of JPEG files. One was listed in the Finder as "JPEG file," and that opened in Preview; the other was "Photoshop JPEG file," which would open Photoshop.
On my new setup, a MacMini on 10.7 using Photoshop CS5, there are no Photoshop JPEG files, just plain JPEG files that open in Preview.
I need to get the two formats back, as the difference helped me determine which images I had worked on and aided in my photo workflow. I don't want to change all files to Open With Photoshop in Get Info, as that doesn't solve the problem.
Is this something in the Finder? Photoshop? Preferences? How do I get that functionality back? Thanks.

Filname extensions are already on. Also, I typically save most of my images as jpegs so -- for example -- I can send them off to labs, which usually don't accept straight Photoshop PSD files.
I guess what I need to know is whether the separate "Photoshop JPEG File" format has been removed completely from OS 10.7, or can it be restored. It would be a shame if it's gone, as it was a handy function.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

'Unable to quarantine' when exporting from Aperture to a NAS

I have scanned a lot of images as TIFF (approx 28.000), and they are on an External Drive, and I imported them into Aperture (3.3) as referenced files.
Now I want to have a a more workable environment, because the TIFF's are 140 MB each.
So the idea is:
- Export from Aperture to a NAS drive
- Create a new Aperture Library and import them (again as referenced files)
The NAS is a WD MyBook Live Duo that is attached to my Time Machine.
The current Aperture Library and the future Aperture Library will be on my iMac's HD.
I just exported 405 images and in the log I see 405 times:
1/3/13 9:29:34.000 PM kernel[0]: Aperture[54224] Unable to quarantine `/Volumes//Pictures/Modellen_Ref_Files/Mulder_Koosje/JHWA_9601M-25.jpg': 22 (error suppressed)
(Time and filename differ ofcourse.)
However all 405 images were indeed exported.
I read the thread :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20274081#20274081
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20294802#20294802
from Steffen4712
So before continuing with the rest of the 28.000 images I want to make sure that I will not run into problems.
So can somebody explain to me or point me to a discussion so that I can try and understand what this Quarantine thing is trying to do?
Thanks,
Jan

I managed to find a way to get things done without getting the error.
Workflow from the start:
- scanned negatives and stored them as TIFF files on an external HD
- Started Aperture and imported them as referenced files
- added keywords and adjustments
I tried:
- export them as JPG to a NAS drive
This give the error "Unable to quarantine 22 (error suppressed)"
I tried :
- remove extra attribute from TIFF file on external HD (using xattr -c)
- export them as JPG to a NAS drive
This give the error "Unable to quarantine 22 (error suppressed)"
I tried:
- export them as JPG to my HD
- remove extra attribute from JPG (using xattr -c)
- switch to "new" Aperture Library and import them and choosing the NAS as place to store them
This give the error "Unable to quarantine 22 (error suppressed)"
I tried:
- export them as JPG to my HD
- remove extra attribute from JPG (using xattr -c)
- using Finder and copy them to temporary folder on my NAS
- open "new" Aperture Library and import them and choosing the NAS as place to store them (effectively relocating them)
No errors were seen in the system.log
Conlusion, apparently Aperture wants to quarantine them when moving them to the NAS and Finder does not.

Export from Aperture to edit in Windows Live Photo Gallery

Hi.
I'm hoping to work collaboratively with a colleague, in a scenario where I take & edit photos, then pass them over for a possible final touch up before being forwarded to clients.
I use Mac OSX 10.6 and Aperture. He uses Windows Vista and Windows Live Photo Gallery.
The problem we've come up against is this: he is unable to edit the image I've exported from Aperture. I'm exporting as .JPG, and he's able to read them ok - i.e. load it into Windows Live Photo Gallery, but not alter the image.
Does anyone have a similar workflow, exporting from Aperture, then editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery?
Thanks in advance,
PB

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,
PB

Which Metadata option when exporting from Aperture?....

When Exporting a single Original (never edited) CR2 file from Aperture 3.6 to my Desktop there are 3 Metadata options :
1) - Don't include IPTC
2) - Include IPTC
3) - Create IPTC4XMP Sidecar File
As I have no idea what 'IPTC' etc is, which option is best to later Import into Capture One, please?

IPTC are all Metadata you assigned in Aperture or in other applications, as opposed to the EXIF metadata embedded in the photos by the camera. The camera tags would be in the EXIF.
The get an idea, what is in clouded in EXIF and IPTC, open the Inspector in Aperture in the sidebar and switch the view to "IPTC info". That will show you a list of all tags, that will be included, when you export from Aperture with IPTC included.
You can only export modified versions with IPTC, since Aperture will not modify the original file on export. That is why you can add a sidecar files, that lists all tags, and many applications are able to read this sidecar file, when you import photos.
I want the camera EXIF data to be exported with the image file.
The camera EXIF are already embedded in the original image files. When you export the originals, the EXIF will be included, independent of your setting for IPTC.
You can test, what will be exported, by opening exported files in Preview and opening the Inspector (Tools menu > Show Inspector)
You can see all EXIF and IPTC tags that have been exported with the photo.

Can a photo be exported from aperture in CMYK profile

Can a photo be exported from aperture in CMYK profileas TIFF jpeg PSD etc .?

Yes, in the export dialogue panel pick a TIFF or PSD setting, and then set the colorsync profile selector to a cmyk-profile,
You need to have installed cmyk-profiles, however;
most of my colorsync profiles were installed by photoshop.
You will find the cmyk-profiles in the system library:
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/

Photos in FCE; export from Aperture in target size?

hi all.
I'm planning to place photos from Aperture into my FCE project, with the photos fading from one to the next. they won't be full screen, less than half. to get the best final quality, do I need to sharpen and export from Aperture so that the photos are placed within the FCE project at 100% without scaling?
cheers,
Gregory
