Help with exporting from Aperture.

Hi All, Just uploaded my latest batch of photos, as always i shoot in RAW, normally when exporting so i can transfer to Flickr, the computer resizes and shows as a JPEG (523 gb) this morning it has started exporting as raw files (23 Mg) what have i done ?

How are your export presets set and how do you export?
Have you accidentally used "File > Export > Original ⇧⌘S" instead of "File > Export > Version ⇧⌘E"?
Or, if you are using the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘E, have the keybindings changed? You can see this, when you look at the shortcut shon in the file menu entry.
When you see the Export panel after selecting File > Export > Version ⇧⌘E", check the "Export Preset" pop-up. It should be set to "Jpeg something", and then set it to "Edit" and look at the settings. Are they set to "Jpeg" and a reasonable size?

Please help with Exporting from Final Cut for Youtube

Hey guys, your help would be greatly appreciated!
I shot a bunch of clips using 'ishowu' with the '640x480' option enabled... then imported them into Final Cut to make a movie.
My question is, now that the movie is done, what is the best way to export for youtube, using what dimensions? I tried to export using 1280x720 for youtubes widescreen, but it stretches out my whole video making everything look abnormally wide. How can I get the best video size but without it streching out my video?

Export it using 640x480.
There is no point in making it larger because you cannot put in information that is not there originally.
640 x 480 is the optimum size. Make it any bigger and it will just appear degraded.

How do I export from Aperture to iPhoto?

Ok, I am very new at all of this, and find it quite confusing.
I took several hundred raw photos and imported them into Aperture. I believe they are all in a 'project', the yellow box looking icon? Then, I created numerous folders inside this project, in which I carefully sorted all my photos by subject - about 18 folders. Then, I worked with each folder, fine tuning each image, and adding exif metadata, and rating each image. So far so good.
Now, I want to bring all this images (as full size jpegs) into iPhoto.. this is where I am getting bogged down. There is an export function in Aperture, and an import function in iPhoto: which do I use?
I have been experimenting with various scenarios, but nothing seems to be working the way I want.. specifically, to have all my images in iPhoto - IN THE SAME STRUCTURE as I have in Aperture. When I did manage to bring them into iPhoto, they all came over in one big massive event, leaving all my sorting and ratings behind. This can't be right.. I don't want to resort them all again, moving them into the appropriate folders. And I don't want to have to re-enter the exif metadata and ratings again.
Can someone please help me with this?

Export from Aperture and then import to iPhoto.
Alternatively, you can share your Previews with iPhoto but that gets only the Preview.
FWIW: your workflow makes no sense. It's like writing your novel in TextEdit then opening it in Word to Spell Check and then copying it back to TextEdit. Why not just write your novel in Word? Aperture is not an editor. It's a complete replacement for iPhoto. It will do everything that iPhoto does, and then more. Or if you want to stick with iPhoto, get an editor and use it as an external editor in that.

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.

'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

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!

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.

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

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.

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/

Help with export ?glitch? of my Slideshow from Aperture 3

when I try to export my Slideshow from Aperture 3 it thinks for a few seconds and then says done - help
in Aperture 3 (all updates)
put together a 150 photo slide show
each slide = 3 seconds
2 songs added
Hit "Export..." button
make selections
hit "Export"
three seconds later a dialog box pops up and says "done, your file is in path/path/path" and so on
File is not there - does not look like it wrote any file - processing would take a lot more than 3 seconds
I must be missing a check box or radio button somewhere or doing something wrong
I have tried it several times with many selections re: size and quality but always the same
HELP??

Hello David,
Are you running OS 10.7.2 Lion? Perhaps you have trouble with a video codec? http://aperture.maccreate.com/2011/08/25/aperture-3-will-not-play-videos-if-lion -is-installed-and-3ivx-video-codec-is-installed/
Look in your System Library and User Library if the 3ivxVideoCodec.component
is installed.
Check in /Library/Quicktime (System Library) and ~/Library/Quicktime (User Library)
If you are running OS Lion, then the Libraries are hidden by default.
The User Library can be revealed from the Finder menu by holding down the option (⌥)-key while selecting "GO" till the Library appears in the drop down menu.
The System Library can be revealed from the Finder menu by selecting "GO" -> "Go To Folder" and entering /Library/Quicktime .
Look for 3ivxVideoCodec.component installed and remove it, if it is present.
Also look in both libraries for a duplicate Aperture media browser plug-ins, e.g.
/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins/iLMBAperture31Plugin.ilmbplugin/
if you are running Lion and still have iLMBAperture31Plugin.ilmbplugin, remove it, if
LMBAperturePlugin.ilmbplugin is present.

Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

Ok.
My workflow is
RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
Since ten I've trying different things
1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
Thank you

Help with Exporting files in Aperture

Hello looking for your help (first time poster)
My problem is when I export using Aperture the file size almost triples . I Import Nikon RAW file, make my adjustments and export by using export version- TIFF original size 16bit.
The file size in Aperture is 50mb and when I check it in photoshop the file size is 143mb this is killing my hard drive!!
Cheers Dan.

In either 16bit TIFF or PSD - esp if you have multiple bitmapped layers you are going to end up with big files, that is all there is to it. Are you sure you need PS to do your "tidying up" In most cases the answer is probably not depending on what "tidying up" means.
