How can I attribute my edits before aperture to the raw files as versions?

Hi,
I am in the middle of importing all my files (approx 100,000) into aperture. I have previously made edits of my best images and in some cases have several edits for one 'master' file. How can I attribute or link the edits to the master files? I have followed a simple nomenclature, where the camera raw file was say bfes1001.tif, I would name the files bfes1001e1.psd or bfes10001e1-small.jpg, bfes1001e1-epson7600.psd. So my question is really two parts, first is there a way to link my old edits to the master raw files, and secondly is there a way to import photoshop files without flattening them? I can't image throwing away all that time making masks etc. If there is no way to import a layered photoshop file then is there a way to make an association to the files if I leave them outside of Aperture (althought that seems to defeat a big part of Aperture)?
Thanks,
Eric

This is not a method suited to automation, but what you can do is:
1) Import original RAW into Aperture.
2) Edit in external editor - it creates a new version based on PSD or TIFF (you choose in options).
3) Kill external editor, replace created TIFF file with your new "master" tiff (or PSD). To do this just open the Aperture Library package using "Show Package Contents" in finder, do the same for the Project package held within the library, and finding the new TIFF version of your file. You could either replace the TIFF file before you return to Aperture form the editor or replace all the TIFF files with Aperture closed. The name must be identical. If you have a TIFF or PSD not in RGB mode Aperture will not like you much and probably crash whenever you go to view the picture.
That seems the most space-efficient way to me and keeps Aperture understanding that your edited TIFFS are versions of a particular master.

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • Editing date in Organizer - but how can i 'hard' write that new date to the actual files?

    Hi, i have a number of files which were created by digitizing about 40 anolog tapes. These tapes have been 'split' into clips(largish) using AV cutty software [it worked v well] and therefore have about 25 avi files per tape.
    I have now imported all of these from folders) into Organizer to tag etc before creating projects in Premiere.
    However, I can amend the dates in Organizer (some of the clips have timestamp on the screen) BUT i want this to be hard-coded back to the original files - is there any way to do this. Otherwise will i have to edit the dates of the clips in Windows Explorer, using something like AttributeMagic 
    Thanks in advance - and hope this helps others at some point too.

    PS I fully understand that Orginzer is purely referential, but is there NO way to allow the data (eg tags/dates to be writtrn back to the source files?)
    I wonder if I should look at other video software tools?

    PC drives geerally are formatted MBR (master boot record) on the drive and NTFS partitions.
    Mac can read NTFS but not write it unless you buy additional software.
    Do you want to keep that drive's files for read access,  or is your PC-world done?

  • How can I export a folder of images using the original file data?

    I have edited my images within the "Develop" mode, but now need to export as jpg's using those settings (note: some are now B&W) and then I also need to process as jpg's using the original settings (color), so my client has all the original color files as well. My files were all shot in the Nikon RAW format, but I can't figure out how to export all the images without using the develop adjustments I have made to each file, including having changed many to B&W. Is there a way to do this? Note that I also don't want to lose all of my adjustments, so can't just reset them all, if that's even an option.

    2) Now I need to export all the images that have at least 2 stars
    (around 1200), so I can give the client a folder of "originals." This
    way, they can view images that didn't make the final edit (album) and
    will also be able to print an image that I converted to B&W for
    their album in color.
    First of all, I think making a backup of your directory (using Explorer or Finder or whatever) might be prudent before you start this little experiment!
    So, all of your originals are in one folder, and ~1200 of those are 2-star and 384 are 5-star and have edits, correct?
    What might be easiest (although not the most effecient) is to just click on the folder, then use the Library Filter to select everything that's 2 stars and above. This will select all the images that need exporting.
    Then follow Jao's instructions for creating a new collection and removing the edits. Make SURE you create your new collection with VIRTUAL COPIES or you're going to wipe out everything you've done. 
    Your new collection should then  have virtual copies of everything 2-star and above, in their original unadulterated state. You can then export to JPG.
    I think from now on I will export those files with 2 stars first, then narrow down the the final 384 and make adjustments
    You could always create a collection of your "keepers" (2-stars and above). Then, for every image you want to edit, be sure to edit the virtual copy  and then put it in a subcollection under the main collection.
    That way you kind of have a history of what you did, and you can export (or re-export) at any time. You don't even really need to keep the exported JPGs around, since you can always re-export.
    Scott Kelby has a Lightroom book that illustrates this kind of workflow much better than I can. I highly recommend it.

  • How can I save images and text data to the same file?

    I have been looking at ways to do this for a while. My main VI saves the raw data to a text file which the users then import to Excel and plot. I am trying to simplify this process and have been looking at ways to accomplish this task. I want to be able to save the raw data to a file and then save the Labview graph as well. This will eliminate the tedious task of importing the raw data into Excel and plotting it. I can save the raw data to its own file and I can use the Get Image method for the graph and save it to its own file. I am currently using the .png format. Is there a way of saving both to the same file ie, importing the image into Excel or Word etc. Before I go off doing a science project I wanted to see if anyone else had experience completing this task and had any recommendations. Thanks in advance for any help.

    well ther are a couple of ways. You could use the standard report generation VI's and make a complete report with the image of the graph embedded into the report with the raw data or you could use activeX and control excel thru LV and put the raw data into excel directly and have excel graph the data without any user interaction. I have posted a slew of VI's on the excel board if you do not have the report generation toolkit. If you could tell me which way you want to go I could possibly send you an example.
    For more information and some sample VI's and tool kits, you can go to the excel board

  • Why can't I, or how can I, update Photoshop Elements 11 to open D7100 RAW files?

    I purchased Elements 11 via the App Store, and cannot find a way to update the software so that the newest version of ACR (7.4) will work with it.
    Some places seem to say that if I puchased through the App Store then I can only update the programme when Apple releases an official update! Is this seriously the case, so although Adobe have released a new version of ACR to allow users who purchased elsewhere to update the software, App Store users cannot?!
    If this, ludicrously, is the case is there any information on when this update will occur? The D7100 has been out for over two months now.
    I contacted Adobe and they said I have to speak to Apple as I purchased through them, and that they cannot help. However, the only support button I can find relating to Elements 11 on the App Store directs me to the Adobe pages! Rather frustrating.
    Is there any other way that I can contact someone at Apple for some support on this?
    (The D5100 I used to have worked fine, so it is definitely the case that it is the newer files compatibility that is causing the issue)
    Thanks for any help

    Apple waits for Adobe to provide updates to them (just because Adobe has made the update available as a direct download does not mean they provided the update to Apple at the same time).  Then everything in the App store is vetted before it gets updated.  It takes time, so there is always a lag between the Adobe version and the App store version.

  • How can I continuously auto-save and auto-name the JPEG files with a controlled time interval

    Hi,
    I am newly involved in some Labview projects that out of my knowledge. I am trying to save multiple JPEG images from a live imaging task to a folder in the computer hard disk every certain minutes. I'd like to name these files with the date and time (eg. Img_06012011_1635. jpg).Then, after hours long image capturing, I can have all the image files in a neat order.
    My goal is to have the jpg files auto saved and auto-named with the data and time at that moment. I also need to control this waiting time between each savings.
    Could you please show me some hints about this? See the vi attached, I know I need to do something on the "write path" part on the up right corner. Thanks!
    Solved!

    Thanks, Steve. When I built up a path with the date and time info and send them to the WriteJPEG File.vi like you mentioned, it stopped saving any files into the folder. Do you think this is the problem from my while loop?Could you show me if there is any other secret functions that restrains the file saving?
    I am planning to save the image files every 30 secs,for example, and then I can have a bunch of jpg files with their unique names after hours long image acquisition.
    I appreciate you kindly help!

  • Can you configure DNG converter to only convert the RAW files in a folder (and skip the JPG's?)

    I just downloaded DNG converter last night to convert the CR2 (raw) files from my Canon S100.  I like that it converts a folder at a time...However, it also converts the JPG files as well, which I don't want it to do. 
    I did not see a way of specifying which types of files or convert (or omit from the convert).  Is there a way?
    Thanks in advance.
    John

    That is an excellent question. 
    With my Nikon SLR, I only shoot RAW images.  The ACR with my Photoshop Elements can convert those. I recently bought a Canon S100 for a pocket-sized travel camera.  I took it on a trip to New York last week, where I took a bunch of pictures.  Since it was a brand-new camera, I wasn't sure how simple it would be to convert RAW images (my version of Elements won't do it, it turns out), so I either shot in JPG or JPG+RAW.  The JPG+RAW shots where ones I thought I might want to adjust later.  In either case, I have access to the JPG's for all my shots (for quickly throwing onto Facebook or whatever).  Obviously I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to process the RAW images.

  • How can I enable my copy of Aperture on the App Store?

    Here is my issue:
    I purchased Aperture 2 for $299, later I paid $99 for the upgrade (DMG download) to Aperture 3. I just got a Macbook Air and I would love to be able to just use the App to install all my apps. Right now I would have to use my Aperture two disk (which I don't have a DVD drive anymore) then find the Aperture 3, download and upgrade.
    Can Apple please give me a redeem code to get the App Store version of Aperture for free? It seems pretty fair, right?
    Thank you!

    Download the Aperture Trial version - you can unlock it with your Aperture 3 + Aperture 2 serial number:
    Hopefully this mirror download link still works:

  • How can I open (and edit) multiple jpegs in camera raw?

    I am able to open only one at a time. I tried holding the shift and command keys down to select multiple images and I cannot seem to do it.
    thank you

    It’s only possible to open jpegs one at a time in Camera Raw.
    You need Lightroom 3 to be able to do multiple edits simultaneously - there is a free trial for 30 days.
     

  • How can I print out all notes or export the entire file?

    I have around 300 notes that include a variety of information. I would like to print out a hard copy. I don't want to open and print out each one individually. Is there a way to print out all of them at once. Also, is there a way export the file so I can open it in another application like Excel or Word?

    It's not a file, so you can't "open" one file. Every message (and note) is a single file on the computer.
    This Applescript will grab all the notes in the selected mailbox (i.e. the selected Notes item in Mail) and put them in a textEdit document.
    Note that Mail doesn't differentiate between a note and an email message, so if you run this while a normal email mailbox is selected, it will gather all of your email messages.
    tell application "Mail"
    set theMailboxes to the selected mailboxes of message viewer 0
    repeat with aMailbox in theMailboxes
    set theNotes to the messages of aMailbox
    set theText to ""
    repeat with aNote in theNotes
    set theText to theText & content of aNote & return
    end repeat
    end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "TextEdit"
    set myDocument to make new document at end of documents with properties {text:theText}
    end tell
    Copy and paste this into a new AppleScript Editor Document, select the Notes mailboxes you want to print the notes from, and click the Run button (Green button with arrow).
    This may take a while.

    This works for your example I believe. If other files have something other than NCOUNT = 8062, then you'll have to do make some modifications to accomodate that but you should have something here to get you started.

  • How can I burn a disk of photos with a modified file name?

    After importing photos from scan device, I use Photos > Batch > Change to rename files.  When burning a disk the changed file names do not transfer with the image but use the original file name.  How can I burn a disk of photos with the modified file name?
    This is what I have done so far with no success.
    Drag selected photos from Event to Burn Folder where the file names were changed. Burn folder lists file with original file name.
    Drag albums to Burn Folder with the same result.
    In Filer I am able to change the iPhoto Library > Master > Date > Filename and then drag to burn disk folder and see the changed name but this is a single file exercise without a view of the file's image, but to use the new file name in iPhoto events I have to repeat the naming convention.

    File > Export.
    In the resulting dialogue note the "Name" section. Choose to use the Title as Filename.
