How can I use an Aperture photo as wallpaper?

I'd like to use a few of my photos in Aperture 3 as wallpaper for my 2010 MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.6.8), but I'm not sure how to do it.  There doesn't seem to be any option for this within Aperture, and I can't see the Aperture library in Desktop/Screen Saver Preferences.  Any suggestions would be very helpful.

When you're in the System Prefs > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop, have you tried hitting the plus button and scrolling down to Photos in the Media section of the sidebar of the browser window that comes up? You should be able to select photos from Aperture there.

  • How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac

    How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac, I have tons of ink and don't want to buy a new printer right now.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
    Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
    Hope this helps

  • How can i use an aperture library on a 2009 white macbook?

    I made a set of 6 Aperture libraries on my MacPro Westmere using latest version. These open on my MP in iPhoto as well.
    A colleague needs these libraries (organisation related photo categories).
    They would not open on his white 2009 MacBook -- OS 10.8 with 4GB RAM and oodles of disk space -- with his version of iPhoto - 9.1.
    Downloaded latest version 9.4.1 -- Installer says that OS 10.8.2 is required.
    Downloaded and installed version 9.3.1 -- claims to be compatible with Aperture library.
    File will not open -- Incompatible ProKit message.
    Software update does not show any system updates available.
    Downloaded 10.8.2
    Tried to install -- failed -- Not compatible with this volume
    Sigh (repeat x10)
    Am I missing something -- I have read lots of slightly similar but different installation issues with 10.8.2 -- all very dispiriting.

    Thanks again
    but...
    As I said in my post...
    Downloaded 10.8.2
    Tried to install -- failed -- Not compatible with this volume
    I should have said the 10.8.2 Combo
    As I said, it would not update -- it reported that the update was incompatible with this volume!
    Yet the minimum specs for 10.8 (now running the machine only installed two weeks ago) and 10.8.2 have not changed.
    I might add that I have been working with Macs from day 1 and on Apple ][s from almost day 1.

  • How can I use the bridge photos that are thumbnail size and place in Photoshop to edit, etc?  The size is too small, - how to enlarge without blur?

    When I use Bridge to transfer a photo into Photoshop, the size is thumbnail.  It is too tiny to edit into Photoshop.  How to enlarge without blur?

    That is the actual size of your image file. 48 x 38 is very small.
    That is not a Bridge or Photoshop problem.
    It is a very small image and you cannot enlarge it more than x 1.5.
    If you want a large photo you must ask for it from whoever gave it to you, or take a bigger photo if it is yours.

  • HT202441 How can I import my Aperture photo library into iMovie?

    Please forgive my ignorance as I am new to the Mac world.  While attempting to create a slide show in iMovie, I click the camera icon to add a photo and only the iPhoto and photobooth libraries populate.  I can't seem to find where I can import my Aperture library. Any advice?

    Your Aperture library should populate automatically. Mine always has.
    However, since it is not working for you, there is a preferences file (plist) that controls all this. I would suggest that you move the com.Apple.iApps.plist preferences file to the trash according to the instructions here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
    There is probably no need to move the com.Apple.iMovieapp.plist file to the trash, but it coudn't hurt.

  • How can i use a picture as a wallpaper without being zoomed in ?

    Ok this is the problem before iOS 7 was released my wallpaper looks weird
    Meaning . I had a picture of my daughter and the picture was perfectly adjusted
    To fit the screen . Well when I updated to the iOS 7 software it zoomed in and it's not
    Adjusted to fit the screen so I can view the whole picture it's just zoomed in and
    I dislike that very much I hope there's an answer to my problem or hopefully Apple fixes
    This problem with the wallpapers . 

    If you want that feature, let Apple know by using this link:
    Apple - iPod nano - Feedback
    Apple does not follow the discussions.

  • How do I use the same photo twice in a slideshow created in iPhoto'11?

    Seems you have to duplicate the photo in your Library to add the same picture twice.

  • How can I use photos in FCEHD?

    How can I use photos in FCEHD? (I'm new to the thing - done just one video project so far).
    When I imported photos from Aperture (first into the folder on desktop, and then from desktop to the Browser in FCEHD3.5, the photos have a black bar/a gray space above and below, and they appear too wide a bit on the right side, as if coming out of the Canvas'frame.
    Is it a way to fit them into the 4:3 format, so they fit the whole screen (BTW - what view I should have set for Viewer and Canvas? A 100% or "Fit The Screen" view?).
    Also: Is there a way to enter the same Transition in between all of my photos in the Timeline? (if so - how?)

    Re the Canvas window ... before exporting your sequence, rendering, etc it should be set to Fit to Window, this can avoid problems
    In FCE you can't set your own default transition. It is always the Cross Dissolve. If that is the one you want to use, when you drop your pics onto the timeline you can drag them over to Overwrite with Transition or hit Shift-F10. If you want to use multiple occurances of another trans, apply it once, double click to put it in the Viewer then just drop that down onto your clips
    I haven't used Aperture but I think that how they appear in the timeline depends upon the size they are created in. Search this forum, there is plenty of info about that. Generally Final Cut sizes the pics to fit into your video sequence. Put a pic in the timeline, click it, select Edit>Remove Attributes and from the submenu select Motion, see what happens

  • How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?

    As stated above, How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?  I'm not a fan of Photos right now and haven't used iPhoto in years, so that wasn't a loss... I didn't realize when I gave Photo's access to my Aperture library, I was going to lose it...
    I want to get it back, any suggestions?
    Thanks again!

  • How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.

  • How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it.

    How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it. I receive a dialogue box which states previews are not allowed in  aperture and the application is shut down.

    Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.

  • On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
    If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
    If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

  • How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photostream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.

    New Photo app on Mac.
    How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
    With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
    If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
    How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
    Any other suggestions?
    thx

    The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it.  There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
    Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck.  Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules.  That may be the problem.
