How can I import presets in Aperture 3.3.2

I found I cannot import presets I downloaded, the original place has been moved.
Any one can help me figure it out?
Thanks.

"After applying the Effect/Adjustment Preset change the version name and the metadata tags in the Info-tab/Metadata tab or use batch change to apply the the changes to the original image file/master image file as well"
Couldn't have said it better myself
What we need is an old Aperture to new Aperture dictionary. Or better yet an App that will take the posting and automatically convert the terms depending on the version of Aperture installed!

Can you combine multiple Adjustment presets in Aperture?

Is it possible to combine multiple adjustment presets into a single "master" preset setting? I know that I can adjust all the settings on a single photo, and then "lift/stamp" the settings onto multiple photos.
What I'd like to do is have a single preset that has all of my standard NEF (Raw) adjustments setup as a starting point for my D3 photos. From that point, I can then tweak them individually for the final version.
I'm finding that I make the same adjustments (Eg: saturation boost, vibrancy, edge sharpen, etc) on most NEF's out of the camera and I'm looking for a faster way to save all the individual tool adjustment presets into a combined "master" preset.
Any help is appreciated.
regards
Tom

Thanks for the link. I had seen this thread prior to posting my question, as it really just gives other means of using "lift/stamp" to create adjustment presets in a different fashion, using existing images as starting points.
What I'm still trying to confirm is whether there is a way to create a master combination from all/any individual tool presets adjusted. It seems like "manage presets" should give some type of ability to combine the individual tool presets, but so far, I haven't seen how to do so....

Missing Aperture Built-in Adjustment Presets

Hello,
Just installed Aperture 3.5.1 when i go and try editing with adjustment presets I find that all the built-in presets are missing.I can not figure how to bring them back..those were handy tools as advertised by Apple on web site..very disappointed.Please help me.Here is the screenshot of the effects menu.

Delete Aperture from the Applications folder (but don't empty the Trash), then download it again from the Purchased tab of the AppStore. Probably the download was incomplete.

How to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

how to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

But the current AppStore version needs MacOS 10.7.5 or 10.8.2; there is no way to install it on Snow Leopard. The Trial version can be installed, but you need to purchase a serial number, and that you will find only with the retail version in the box.

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw)

Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw here.)
Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

I was confused by this statement
It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD. Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them. There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD. Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
I would do three things. First I would create a backup, backups are important. Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD. Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

How can I install my iMac's Aperture on my MacBrookPro

How can I install my iMac's Aperture on my MacBrookPro

What is your MacOS X version? Is your Aperture version the recent Aperture 3.5.1? Your profile signature "Mac OS 9.1.x? " cannot be right; do you mean Mac OS 10.9.1.x? And is the system the same on both Macs?
If you bought Aperture from the AppStore, launch the AppStore on your MBP:
Sign into the AppStore with the AppleID you used to buy Aperture on your iMac.
Download Aperture from the "Purchased" tab and let it install.
If you bought Aperture as a boxed retail version, use the Installer CD/DVD and serial number to install Aperture on your MBP.
If you bought Aperture online as a trial version, and bought a serial number to unlock the trial, use the trial installer you downloaded.
If you no longer should have the installation media or the downloaded trial installer, you can convert your working Aperture installation to an AppStore licence by upgrading your iMac version to Aperture 3.5.1. Then you can install and reinstall from the AppStore on all your Macs, if they are running Mavericks.

How to install Aperture 2 over Academic 5.1

I have academic Aperture 1.5.6 installed on my 17" PB. I have purchased the full Aperture 2 since there is no academic upgrade. How do install Aperture 2 over Aperture 1.5.6. (There are no instructions in the material that came with Aperture 2.)
Thank you,
Susan

Aperture is pretty much self contained. Just install it (or, if you prefer, delete Aperture 1.5 from your /Applications folder and then install Aperture 2).

How to Create and apply adjustment preset for printing

How can I create an adjustment preset that I can apply to images before I print? In Photoshop CS3, it's easy: I just create an action. But how do I apply a preset that simply shifts existing settings a relative amount instead of applying absolute settings that overwrite image-specific settings?
The problem is that my Epson R1800 and its profiles output images that have a yellow shift to them. What I want to be able to do is apply a +5 shift to the shadow tint (camera calibration) and a +10 shift to the WB tint on top of whatever settings I already have after development.
Any ideas?
(and yes, I do use colour management, my monitor is calibrated, and I instruct LR2 to manage colour and use the profile specific to my printer, paper, and print quality setting)

No ideas here? Surely someone must have wanted to apply an adjustment to compensate for a printer's tendencies or the different dmax, shadow detail, and colour temperature of various papers and illuminant sources (incandescent vs daylight fluorescent, sunlight), or at least use different tone / contrast settings or different amounts of sharpening (before the new print sharpening facility appeared in LR2).

How to install Aperture without original dvd

I lost my Aperture 2 installation and Aperture 3 upgrade disks. How to install Aperture in my new Macbook ?

Do you still have the Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 registration codes? Then you can download the Trial installer and use that to install Aperture on your new Macbook.
You can download the Aperture 3 trial installer to reinstall Aperture from this webpage - there is a link to the trial and instructions on how to reinstall - don't let the title of this page distract you :
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
The Aperture 3 serial number will be available in the about panel, when you are running Aperture on your old mac (from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture).

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package? Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images. That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space. As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

I can't find in maverics the library/application support/aperture/plugins folder... anyone knows how to install pt lens plug in?

Your user library is hidden by default in Mavericks.
You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:
Finder > Go
Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until "Library" appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library. Then look for the folder "Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins".
Alternately you could install the plug-in for all users in "/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins", in the "Library" folder directly on your sytem drive.

Convert Adobe Lightroom Preset into Aperture 3 Adjustment Preset

Hi all,
Just a quick question... I was a Adobe Lightroom user and recently purchased and switched to Aperture 3 and I love it, however I have a bunch good presets in Lightroom and I would like to convert them into Aperture 3 Adjustment Presets so I can continue on using them. Is there any way of doing it in a simple way (like converting a preset file from one to the other so I can import it into Aperture 3)? Thanks for any help, suggestions etc. in this matter!

There is no real automated way but it should be easy enough to do. Just take a look at what the preset does in lightroom in terms of what adjustments it uses and what settings are used. Do exactly the same thing to an image in Aperture, then save as a preset.
I really never understood why people buy "presets" - the adjustment controls are simple and limited compared to what you can do with say a plug-in or even a photoshop action. Replicating the results visually with having no idea what the preset actually did is easy enough - seeing the adjustment blocks it adds and the parameters it is using makes it a no-brainer.

There is a Office for Mac Product Forums, if now one here is able to answer I'd recommend posting on that forum.
