How to import high rez photos from Aperture to inDesign

I have done a fair bit of research on this but it seems no one has found a good way to do this.  It seems simple enough though... 
- My photos are in Aperture 3.x. 
- I just got inDesign CS6 in order to create a book.
- I can click and drag images from Aperture to inDesign without a problem, except...  that it only brings in the preview.  Not the full rez file.  I don't mind working with the low rez preview of course... as long as it then brings in the full size one at export time.  But that does not seem to happen.
System:  iMac 24", Mac OS 10.8, all the latest version of the various softwares.
I suppose I could first export all of the photos to the desktop but that would represent a time consuming extra step.  There has got to be a better way.  Uhhhh... right???
Thanks for any help.

You mean like selecting "Icon view" from the 4 different view modes at the top of Finder windows?
You can also adjust the size of the previews with the slider at the bottom right of the window in icon view.
Click the below images in the forum to see an enlarged view.
Or like "Coverflow view" one of the other views. You can cycle through the photos using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
Or by clicking the icon of one of your photos, press the Space bar on the keyboard.
You can then use your right and left arrow keys to cycle through your photos.The subsequent photos will replace the current photo on screen.
Or if you have Creative Suite you can use Bridge to view your photos all at the same time. There are also other features in Bridge. You can even drag photos directly from Bridge to InDesign and it will automatically create the links.
In newer versions of MacOSX and InDesign you can even drag photos directly from the Finder into InDesign and it will again automatically create the links.

  • Importing 12,500 photos from Aperture.

    As the title says, I have 12,500 photo's in Aperture - broken down into folders and projects. For reasons that I dont need to expand on, I want to start using iphoto for managing my photos, but when I imported the pictures from aperture, I now have in iphot 1 event with 12,500 pictures!
    How do I get my folders from aperture to show as events in iphoto, and have the correct photos in these folders?
    TIA

    iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library. So:
    1. Export all your Masters
    2. Export all your Versions
    You can write the metadata to the files on export - check out the Export presets in Aperture. Note that you cannot export Faces. There is no convention for sharing Faces. The best you can do is use Faces as a basis for keywording.
    Import them into iPhoto. Note that there is no way to associate the masters with the versions in iPhoto, so you'll have apparent duplicates.
    There is no other way to get your Photos from Aperture to iPhoto. The best any other method can di is access either the thumbnails or the Previews.

  • How does Apple TV sort photos from Aperture?

    I have arranged a set of photos in Aperture in a Project. 
    When I go to show these on the Apple TV, they appear randomly and not in the order that I have them in the Aperture Project.
    How does Apple TV sort the photos that it reads from my Aperture project?
    If I understand how it handles this, I can adjust the metadata to insure it shows as I want.
    I look forward to hearing back from folks about how this works.
    Thanks.

    I figured it out.  It is by the date and time code on the picture. 

  • How can I delete a photo from aperture but keep it on my computer

    I recently purchased A3 from the App Store and have begun migrating photos to its program.
    It's also given me a chance to go through and see which photos I would rather not have in A3 but I don't want to delete totally. So here's my question:
    When I delete a photo from A3 is there a way to keep the original in it's location but just not pulled into A3's database? I tend to keep files where they are and even though I don't want it in A3, I still want to keep the photo on my external database. Yes, I could just select one photo at a time to incorperate but I just wanted to do a select all and then hand filter out in post.
    Thanks and hope this made sense.

    When the Master of an Image in your Aperture Library is located anywhere outside of that Library, it is called a "Referenced Master".  Aperture gives you complete control of your Images' Masters -- you can relocate them, consolidate them, reconnect them, etc.
    Every Image has a Master.  The Master is a file on a drive.  When you delete the last Image in a Library that uses a Master, Aperture will ask you if you want to delete the Master file as well.  For your purposes, say "No".
    You should probably experiment with a practice Library and make sure you end up with a workflow that meets your needs.  One thing Aperture can't do is mark which files in Finder are Masters.  To group your files by "Master/not-Master" in Finder, you will have to go into Aperture and move all of the Masters to another location.  The files left are not Masters.
    Note that Aperture puts deleted Masters in the System trash.  They are put in a folder named after your Library -- I think -- in any case they are easy to identify.  Until you empty the system trash, they are available from there.
    All of which begs the question:  why keep the Master but remove it from your Library?  You could simply create an Album (or a Project, depending on your use of Projects) called "Archive", and put all of those Images there.

  • My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

    my iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

    You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
    To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
    Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

  • How do I transfer photos from aperture and iPhoto to bridge?

    How do I transfer photos from Aperture and iPhoto to Adobe Bridge.  I am using Photoshop CS6.  Many of my original photos were stored as raw files.

    Here's how to access Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    and so that they may be viewed by choosing that folder in Bridge..
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.  
    2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop or view them in Bridge.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired. 
    And here is a Forum thread related to Aperture-to-Bridge

  • TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • After upgrade to IOS8 can't import photos from Aperture

    I upgraded to IOS8, reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled all my apps from scratch.
    When go into iTunes and I select to import photos from Aperture on my Mac it hangs.
    I have an old iPhoto library on my Mac and if I select photos from that it works.
    I have switched off everything to do with iCloud after seeing some posts that this might be causing the problem, but not a solution for me.
    (I have over 28,000 photos in my Aperture library).

    Did you turn on iCloud Photo Library? I suspect it may remove the ability to sync photos and videos between Macs and iOS devices.

  • When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

    I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
    In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
    I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

    I think I just figured this out.
    Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab.  Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up.  Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
    It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality.  You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews.  iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
    Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults.   Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
    Hope that helped.

  • Cannot import photos from aperture

    Up until yesterday I've had no problems importing photos from Aperture (3.1.3) during the iPhone (4.3.5) sync process. Now iTunes (10.4.1) presents me with a dialogue window containing the following message: "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." The photo files are there in Aperture. If I uncheck all of the detail boxes, but leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box checked the sync process completes successfully, but no photos were copied to the iPhone because none were selected. I've rebooted the iMac, etc. And, of course, if I leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box unchecked the sync process completes successfully.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    George

    I thought my core issue was that my single library has this iPhoto icon associated with it.  I'd prefer it to be considered as an Aperture library.
    Are you looking at the correct libary in the Finder? That icon is puzzling.
    What are the versions of iPhoto and Aperture that you are using?
    If you have upgraded your photolibrary by the latest versions of Aperture (Aperture 3.4.5) and iPhoto (iPhoto 9.4.3) the icon should be the same for both iPhoto libraries and Aperzure libraries. If you are not yet using the latest version, consider to upgrade, because you are missing out on some bug fixes.
    The "Kind" displayed in the Finder will depend on the filename extension. A library created by iPhoto should have the extension "photolibrary" and the Aperture libraries "aplibrary".
    Check also the settings in Image Capture:
    In Image Capture you can set the application to open for each device individually. It might be possible, that you have set a diffrent application to open in Image Capture: I have set all my devices to "No Application" in "Image Capture". This way I can decide, if I want to open iTunes or Aperture, when I connect my iPad or iPod.
    If you are really troubled by the "Kind = Photo Library" you can convert that by importing the iPhoto Library into a new, empty Aperture Library. Then Aperture will set up the internal database files with the "Kind = Aperture Library".
