Exporting Versions: avoid duplicate files when using external editor?

I've got an Aperture Library containing TIFF masters. Some of the files have been edited via built-in Aperture tools; others have been edited using an external editor (PhotoShop). I want to do a batch export of all the Versions as scaled-down JPEG. If I select all the files in the library and export, everything works as expected, but there is one nuisance: every file that has been edited externally is exported twice.
For example, consider a file named "MyFile-1.tiff", which exists in the library in the original version and the edited version, with the same filename. The export writes two files:
MyFile-1.jpg (the original version)
MyFile-1 (001).jpg (the Photoshopped version)
I only want and need the edited version. So "MyFile-1.jpg" is extraneous and needs to be deleted, and "MyFile-1 (001).jpg" needs to be renamed.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening without manually deselecting all of the individual version files I don't want to export? I don't see any setting or smart album feature that would say "when you find a file that has been edited externally, export only the externally edited version".
It's not a big deal for me to use batch file renaming to clean up the exported files, but it is one more step in the workflow that I'd rather avoid.

Do the original versions of the externally edit images have Aperture adjustments applied? And if so would you then want both of the images exported?
If the answer to the first question is no or the answer to the second is yes then this should work:

  • New AP3 Version Has Muted Colors when Using External Editor

    Hi All,
    I'm having a frustrating problem. I just noticed that files that I've edited using an external editor (PS5) come back to Aperture with significantly dulled colors. At first I thought it was something that PS was doing. Then, I realized that this was happening to the new versions created by Aperture even before the external editor was completely launched.
    Right when you select "edit with Adobe Photoshop CS5.app" Aperture creates a new version - right then I can see the colors being dulled/muted. I don't for the life of me know how to avoid this from happening.
    My export settings are:
    - 16 bit TIFF
    - DPI: 300
    - External editor color space: Adobe RGB (1998)
    Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm taking a look now. It's perplexing (to say the least).
    There is definitely a shift in the created-for-external-editor Version (I'm seeing the same color shift, almost exclusively in the middle- and high-tone cyans, but not quite to the same degree as you). I using my usual settings of 16-bit and "No Profile Selected".
    Although the shifted version shows in Aperture, it does not show in PS-CS5. In other words, the shift is somehow removed when the file is opening in PS. When the file is closed in PS, the shifted version remains in Aperture.
    The histogram is very different for the Versions in Aperture.
    The color values shown in the Loupe and in the color meter (which shows in the Info Pane at the top of the Adjustments tab of the Inspector) are +the same+ for the Versions, though the histograms are different and the images are dissimilar.
    I am seeing -- as best I can tell; it's clearly time to take notes -- inconsistent behavior. Sometimes a shifted Preview will not have a shifted full view. When I send a previously edited in PS Version back to PS, sometimes the shift disappears.
    If I have the time later I'll make a chart. I can confirm that something is amiss. I don't edit that many images in PS, but I still do so regularly, and I have never noticed this before. (My images are in general neither saturated nor blue, so it is possible that there has been nothing to notice in those images. I have some very blue JPGs which I may try.) My hunch, though, it that this will end up being traced to something in the RAW conversion done to captures made with this camera.
    *Anyone have any underwater RAW captures made with a camera other than a Nikon?*

  • IPhoto 11 bug when using external editor (Photoshop Elements)

    In iPhoto 11, my iPhoto database is confused/corrupted whenever I edit a picture in my external editor (Photoshop Elements 8). I believe this is an iPhoto problem because the picture is not corrupted until I quit iPhoto try to re-open the edited version.
    Steps I take:
    1. Pick a file, and "Edit in External Editor". Duplicate of the file is made (ThisPic.jpg becomes ThisPic_2.jpg), and that duplicate is opened in PSE. I edit the photo in PSE, and hit Save - PSE updates ThisPic_2.jpg. I close PSE, go back to iPhoto, and I can do whatever I want to the file - double click to view larger, export, everything seems fine. When I pick "File | Reveal in Finder" and use either the "modified file" or "original file" option, they take me to ThisPic_2.jpg in the finder.
    2. Close iPhoto
    3. Re-open iPhoto
    4. Now, that file seems to be corrupt in iPhoto. I can see the thumbnail image for ThisPic_2.jpg, but nothing else works. I double click on the file, and I get a black screen with a triangle and an exclamation point in it. When I try to export the file, nothing happens.
    The interesting thing is when I go into "File | Reveal in Finder". When I pick the "modified file", it doesn't seem to find it - I am shown the root of my hard drive in the finder. But when I pick "original file", it takes me to ThisPic_2.jpg, and I can use preview to see that my edits are still there.
    I copied that file to the desktop, re-imported it into iPhoto, and I can access that photo again through iPhoto - everything works, even after I close and re-open iPhoto.
    I reported this through the iPhoto Feedback option. I thought I'd share what I found in case it helps anyone else.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I get the same response when I follow your workflow. If you select the thumbnail of that photo and use the Photos ➙ Revert to Original menu option you will be able to view the photo in full size.
    Evidently editing in iPhoto with an external editor puts the edits on the duplicated original file and puts that file in the same Masters subfolder as the first file was imported into. Once iPhoto is restarted the links are messed up and the Revert gets rid of the "edited" link and keeps the link to the file in the Masters folder.
    It definitely is a bug. However, it's not taking up more space on the hard drive than the edit that resulted in a modified file linked to the original file. There still are just two files.
    Subsequent edits to the file with the external editor result is the edits being added to the file with no problems if iPhoto is closed and relaunched. The downside is that if you make 3 edits to the file you can't go back one edit. It's non reversible. The edited version can be deleted leaving the untouched original version.
    Subsequent edits to the same file with iPhoto work as usual, with a modified version being created.
    So Old Toad, I have just gone from iPhoto 9 to iPhoto 11 and step by step this is what is happening for me.
    In iPhoto 9 if I selected photoshop to alter an image it created one duplicate version of the image and put that into the modified folder and that edited image became the image you would see in the events viewer. All very logical.
    Now iPhoto 11 is doing the same for me but is creating multiple duplicates ie. everytime I select photoshop to edit an image. One image I edited recently has now got 6 versions in the library. If that is the way iPhoto works then that will be fine as it is doing it's job for me but the caviat is have I got 6 times the memory space being used up or does it just appear that way? If the memory space useage isn't being increased then I am OK with this new way of doing things but if the memory space is being used up then it is a fiasco - especially as apple are concentrating on writing their systems to use up less space than before in line with current thinking.
    Look forward to you clarifying this point if you can.

  • Huge file size  grow when using external editor

    Hello,
    I want to use an external editor such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. When I set one of the applications to be the external editor everytime I open a file for editing a version is created with a file size of approx. 57 Mb.
    Any ideas what is going on here?

    Lt, it's also worth seeing if you have the setting for the TIFF so that it best suits you.  If you don't require a 16 bit TIFF make sure the it's set to create an 8 bit TIFF instead.  The 57 meg size sounds like a 16 bit image.  An 8 bit one will be half that
    .  Before Aperture I used to stay16 bit right up until I passed the image off to whoever it was going to, at which point I'd make them an 8 bit version because that would usually be what they wanted.  But now so much of whatever advantage that brought me (exposure and tonal changes, especially in solid areas) is being done in Aperture, even before creating a TIFF, so it can be argued that for many people the advantage of exporting 16 bit to the external editor isn't gaining them that much.  If it's going to a consumer printer (that is not 16 bit aware) even more so.   16 bit is better, but if size is an issue and Aperture is doing 90% of the global tweaking, I don't think sending the editor an 8 bit TIFF is a crime  :  )  

  • When using external editor, iPhoto does not re-import the .psd file

    Hi,
    I've just started using Photoshop Elements 6 as a more advanced editor in iPhoto. When I do the 'External Edits' wihtout adding layers etc. and re-save as a JPEG then the photo will re-appear in iPhoto as the edited file.
    However if I do the external edit and add layers then save as a .PSD, then the file does not update.. I have to save the .PSD file in a desktop folder then import the file after.
    Is there anyway to force iPhoto to pick up the .PSD automatically after an update if I save it to the iPhoto library?
    Thanks,
    Glyn

    Glyn:
    The folllowing might be of some help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you import a psd file initially then you can edit it via the external editor, with or without layers, and do a normal save and iPhoto will recognize the changes.

  • Studio 11 freezes when using external editor

    A heavy user of Sun Development Software on our research
    network has encountered the following problem with the latest
    version of the IDE (Studio 11):
    "     A bit of experimenting says that the critical choice is selecting an
    external editor:
    Tools -> Options -> Editing -> External Editor -> Editor Type = GVim
    I was able to get Studio to lock up with both the multiwindow (Traditional SDI)
    and single window (One Window MDI) presentation
    Tools -> Options -> System -> System Settings -> User Interface
    if you want to play with it. It's harder to lock up in single window mode.
         I didn't test with Emacs. Using CDE with a vanilla cshrc and login was
    bad enough. There are some things I just won't do :-).
         My suspicion is that there's some sort of a race condition, as Studio
    will start and function correctly on occasion (maybe once in five tries). But
    even when it starts and works ok on my toy test program, it hangs reliably when
    I try to load one of the big executables from the COIN code."
    He's using a Sun Blade 150 running Sol,Solaris 9 and had been
    able to recreate the problem in both Gnome and CDE.

    I've seen a similar problem and it had a very simple solution. When
    gvim starts, it sometimes posts a message and waits for input. It
    doesn't redraw after its printed the message. The message can be
    as simple as the initial file-loaded message (if its long enough, it
    truncates the load message and puts a 'Hit Return' or 'More' message
    at the end. Or it can be a message telling a swap file exists and
    asking what you want to do. Probably other messages as well.
    In the case I remember, the IDE was on top of the gvim. Even when
    raised, gvim didn't redraw, so I ended up with an apparently hung
    gvim.
    But it wasn't really hung. It was waiting for input but the message was
    lost so I didn't know.
    If this is your problem, the answer is simple. Try pressing Return and
    see if the gvim redraws. You might also try ^C if Return doesn't work.
    If its a different problem then it sounds like a new bug and I'd need
    enough information to reproduce it. We tested it before release, and
    didn't run into any serious problems (and this certainly sounds
    serious). So let me know (this forum is a good enough way) if that
    solves the problem or not.
    Also, although I prefer the SDI mode, the core IDE (NetBeans 3.5.1)
    doesn't support it well. I strongly recommend running in MDI mode.
    Things just work better!

  • Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

    is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

    the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
    Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
    Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3.  There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.

  • Saving PS CS3 files when used as an external editor

    When I open an image through aperature with PS as the external editor it makes a copy of my image and saves it in my library when Im done in PS which is great, but when I take that same PS edited file, open it back up in PS and attempt to save another PS version of it in the aperature library with the "Save as" command it does not show up in my library anywhere. If I go to the aperature library folder I can find my additional saved PS images in the correct library folder, but they do not show up in aperature.
    Does anyone know a way to be able to save additional PS files in the aperature library?
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for the help. Only problem still is that if I do it that way and import the edited saved Tif or PSD file back into aperature my PS layers and settings are erased when I try to reopen that PS file with the external editor through aperature. Unlike the original image duplicated in aperature when using PS as the external editor which I can continue to open and reopen from within aperature and be able to access all my saved PS layers, mask, adjustments, etc.
    Sorry if this isnt making any sense

  • When using external-scheme what is still stored on-heap?

    Hi all,
    If I have a scheme like this...
    <distributed-scheme>
        <scheme-name>distributed-scheme</scheme-name>
        <service-name>TestDistributedService</service-name>
        <backing-map-scheme>
          <external-scheme>
            <lh-file-manager>
              <directory>/temp/odc-data</directory>
            </lh-file-manager>
          </external-scheme>
        </backing-map-scheme>
    </distributed-scheme>...when I put data into a cache what is still stored on the heap?
    When I do a test I can see that obviously the data is not on the heap as I can add massively more entries before I run out of memory.
    Using the VisualVM tool's memory sampler I can see a similar number of instances of com.tangosol.util.Binary as I have entries - so are they keys still on the heap?
    If I add indexes then I can see that these are on the heap, so I will have keys and indexed values on the heap. I end up with twice as many instances of Binary as I have put entries, which makes sense as the index contains a references to the Binary keys.
    The reason I ask is because I configured a "Dev" version of our application that uses <external-scheme> everywhere you would normaly use a <local-scheme> so we can run a version of our application for Dev testing on development machines with limited RAM. It needed a few tweaks and a custom DefaultConfigurableCacheFactory but seems to work fine. I am now trying to figure out just how much space we save and how much "data" is still on the heap.
    Cheers,
    JK

    Thanks David.
    So with an external scheme we will be able to save the amount of space taken by the cache values. Now if I could just shift the indexes (which take quite a bit of space) that would be a bonus. I know it sort of defeats the point of having an index but I am trying to run the app on a small Dev server so I am more interested that it works functionally than how fast it is. If the app was 3.6 I might be able to do something clever with custom indexes - then again we could just remove the indexes.
    Cheers,
    JK

  • 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.

  • Adobe Premiere CC 2014.2: losing rendered files when using warp stabilizer

    Hi,
    I am constantly losing rendered files when using the warp stabilizer. So far I have tried about every hint I could find on the web such as cleaning the cache, rebuilding the rendered files, creating additional sequences etc etc.
    Honestly I am getting tired of using a product that isnt cheap in the first place to rent and where a bug like this apparently persists over several product versions without being fully fixed (I have had this problem throughout 2014 but according to forum postings others seem to have problems with much earlier versions as well).
    I would be really grateful if somebofy has any suggestion how this can be addressed.
    I am also happy to help testing fixes - if there are any fixes available.
    Thanks a lot and Happy New Year!
    Martin

    Hi Catherine,
    Welcome to the Adobe forums.
    Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
    1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
    2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
    Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.

  • Duplicate files when editing in Photoshop??

    I was wondering if it was possible to avoid the duplicate files when I edit in Photoshop. For example: If I import three raw files into CS2 to blend, then save the blended file and import it back into Lightroom for further processing, I have to go and delete the other two duplicate PSD's ever time. This seems redundant..any suggestions or is this just how it goes? Thanks, Chip

    That's how it goes.

  • When using external speakers, they won't unmute

    I am using a U530 Touch with Realtek HD Audio driver version 6.0.1.7535 and Windows 10 build 10240. When using external speakers, everything works fine, except when I mute speakers they will not unmute without unplugging the 3.5 mm speaker jack and plugging it back in to the unit. Using the laptop's internal speakers does not produce the same proplem (mute/unmute works fine). I have looked at every setting and find nothing, nor have I seen this problem reported in the forums.
