Exporting versions

ok, I admit i don't know much about this, although I"VE READ WHAT I CAN FIND.
I did not import master images from my Finder/Pictures. But, I created and edited versions in Aperture. Why can't I export (email and create a CD) of the versions. I get an error message that says something about not being able to do it because the Masters can't be found. How could I edit the images without Aperture finding the4 Masters?
Please, some kind person/user help me, since Apple isn't. thanks!

Thanks for the assistance, Paul.
But, there was no yellow triangle in the bottom right corner... just the 2 badges that showed it was a referenced image and that it had been modified. I'm getting a message : "The file IMG.. could not be found because the volume on which it resides is currently offline" Then, it lists the volume, which is my Mac Hard drive, which is obviously connected. And, I can go to the Finder and open the original picture folder and find and open the original master images I imported from. So, I can find the image masters, but Aperture can't locate them.
Anyway, I solved the problem by blind luck...the proverbial blind sow finding an acorn occasionally. Since Aperture was telling me that my hard disk couldn't be found (was offline), I thought, oh well. when all else fails, reboot. So, after rebooting, Aperture has now relocated my hard disk and master images, and it allows me to export my modified versions back into my Picture files on my HD.
Thanks again for the assistance!

Hi,
you have a database version 10.2.0.1.0, but SOA needs 10.2.0.2 or higher. Update your database using the latest patchset.

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

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 !
Yours Bengt W

Problem exporting versions in original size

hi!
with Aperture 3 when exporting versions in original size, I obtain 400xYYY pixels (images constrained to 400x400) showing impossibility to respect the original size.
attempting to solve the problem I have exported selecting limited wider sizes (like <4000x4000) to allow the program to keep the higher resolution. It doesn't work because then all images are forced to be exported in 4000x4000.
anybody has the solution?
thank you. david

Welcome to the forum.
Go to Aperture>Presets>Image Export, select the export preset you are using and make sure that it's on 'original size' and not on 'fit within'.

Exported versions include GPS data?

i spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting an issue before i learned that aperture does not include gps data when exporting versions.
is that really true? if so, i'm fairly flabbergasted. how can a pro product like this not perform such a basic function?
i've read a few threads here and there about ordering of geotagging and importing and such, but none that provide any real type of workaround. my images definitely do contain gps data.
all i want to do is have an exported version contain the image's gps data.
either i'm not understanding something basic about aperture, or the product falls far short in that area.
(aperture 3.1.2 on 10.6.7)

ok, well posting wasn't a complete waste, as in doing so a related post appeared on the right and that answered my question.
so i wasn't understanding something basic ... there is a preference to include location information when exporting. see Preferences > Export

How to tack and export versions.

As the title says I can't figure out a smooth way to export a serie of versions (to be burned or mailed)that exist besides the masters in a project. When I select all the images and ask for "export versions" it doesn't work like that: the masters are exported too Also, when I try to select manualy with a \ they are tacked with a 5 stars rating. I don't understand that either. Could somebody help me out?

There isn't one built in, but copy the following into Script Editor. In Aperture, open all the Stacks and select the last image. Then run the script.
tell application "Aperture" to activate
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
tell process "Aperture"
repeat 10 times
keystroke "\" using command down
delay 2
key code 123
delay 1
end repeat
end tell
else
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
display dialog "UI element scripting is not enabled. Check \"Enable access for assistive devices\""
end tell
end if
end tell

Can't export versions and other issues

Background.
I installed a SSD inplace of my Mac HD. Moved the Mac HD to the superdrive bay.
I have the OSX operating system on the SSD and my home folder on the Mac HD.
I used system preference to point the operating system to the new home folder location.
Everything seemed to be OK untill I started looking deeper.
In Aperture I was able to open all of my libraries. Everyting looked ok. Testing further thought I discovered that I can't create a new library or export versions.
In mail I can't attach files.
I also can't log onto this forum. I know the username and passowrd are correct. Even before this I could never sign in on another device. So I doubt this is related to my self inflicted issues.
I have deleted plist, ran some mainetence items with ONYX, and repaired permissions. No joy from any of those attempts.
I created another user and Apple ID ( that's how I got back on here) .
Using the new user every issue seems to be resolved.
Because things are ok with the second user I am thinking a re-install ( Mtn Lion or Aperture ) may not help. That was going to be my next move.
I could move my home folder back to the startup volume, but the Aperture libraries would be too large to fit, even though the libraries are referenced I seem to have a lot of GB for each library, like 35 GB for 10,000 pictures. My thumbnails are set to very near max quality and the resolution is more than 1920 x 1080. ( I am not sure right now what my 27 " Cinema Display is )
If I were to move the Aperture libraries out of the home folder first, then relocate the home folder back to the SSD, would I be able to access them if they are outside the normal structure?

In Tiger, all mobile accounts synchronize by default. WGM allows you to change the current settings only. To turn off sync, manage both background and periodic sync "Always" and then use a empty table of sync items. Syncing is thus stopped.
To stop syncing an unmanaged mobile account, delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homeSync.plist and ~/Library/Mirrors/*.
Simutaneous login prevention is really a per-home directory feature so it does not work for mobile accounts. See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1733887#1733887

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

Export versions into project

For a set of photos I want to be able to change the color profile from Adobe RGB to sRGB, then upload them into MobileMe, email them to friends, etc.
I'm trying to find the most efficient way to do this. Ideally I would select the photos, then export them to a new or existing album, and change the color profile during export. After export to the album, I could do some sharpening and upload to MobileMe or web, email, etc.
I am having trouble doing this, as I cannot find out how to export versions into an album. I believe AP only allows me to export into a project / folder. With this approach, I believe I will have multiple files of the same photo, which is not my preference.
Can I export versions into an album? If not, how can I have multiple versions of the same file - one with AdobeRGB, the other with sRGB?
Thank you.

You can't. You can only change the color space on export or by round tripping to another application and changing it there. Either method involves creating a new master of the image. AFAIK there is no way to assign a different color space within Aperture.
It's really a moot point though: images are automatically converted to sRGB when uploaded to MobilMe, and you can set the export settings (in Preferences) to anything you like when using Aperture's email function. So you don't need multiple versions (in this case masters) in your library in order to accomplish your goal.

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.

Problem exporting versions

Anyone know why i can't export versions from aperture 2 on a new imac? Exporting masters is no problem; and I'm trying to export the versions in the same way, ie, file/export/version/s but the little dialogue box doesn't even appear for me to choose where to export the versions to. Must be something very simple I've overlooked but grateful for any help.
Ta, lucas

Are you by any chance using export as jpeg to fit in 1024 by 1024? I was and found the same problem but found that other sizes work OK including custom ones I set up (25% of original in my case)

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.

Exporting versions won't work

Must be something simple that I am missing but when I try to export a version, I do not get the next pop up screen. Simply nothing happens. I am able to export master files with no problem. Do I need to toggle a box in preferences somewhere or what am i doing wrong??

The export options I documented for my own use are as follow:
1. Select Closed Stacks
Export Masters: masters only
Export Versions: top image in stack, whether master or promoted version
2. Select All Items In Open Stack
Export Masters: masters only
Export Versions: masters and versions
3. Select Only Versions in Open Stack
Export Masters: masters only
Export Versions: selected versions only
See if one of those helps with your exporting of versions.

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?
Ian

Export Version Name Question

When i use this name format it names the file like in the example. But I noticed the (1 of 1) never changes when I export the second version from this master file. Insead it will name it IMG_7436 (1 of 1) (1).jpg......When will the 1 of 1 change to 2 of 2)? The only way I see to get the exported version number to change is by using the counter in the naming and not the sequence... I dont understand what the sequence name does..Any thoughts?

The sequence number (as well as the index number if you;re using that format) only change if you're exporting a number of images in at one go. It resets to the starting value each time you begin exporting.
Also the second number in the sequence reflects the number of images in this export session. So if you're exporting 9 images the firnt one wil be 1 of 9 the second will be 2 of 9 etc.
