How to preserve order of photos imported from Aperture

I've imported my Aperture library into LR.
The process went generally fine, however I'm unable to figure out how to get the original image order.
I was using custom ordering for Aperture's "projects" and "slideshows". Both got translated to collections, however the image order doesn't seem to be preserved. This is crucial feature for slideshows...
Does the import plugin translate the Aperture order into the Lightroom "Custom Order" ?
If not, what would be the suggested way to restore the proper image order in slideshows?

When you select a collection the tool bar above the filmstrip lets you reverse the order by clicking the A/Z symbol. It also  has a drop-down menu to the right of sort. You can choose a number of options. But the beauty of collections is that you can drag thumbnails around into any order. They then remain fixed in your own user order. Useful for slideshows, web galleries etc.

  • IDVD changed the order of photos imported from Aperture

    I created a project in Aperture from two different camera inputs. One had EDT and the other had PDT. I didn't think to make them the same time zone. After putting the combined photos in the order I wanted, I called the Aperture file from iDVD to create the slide show. IDVD changed the order. I am not sure what piece of Meta data it looked at to create its order. I had to go back into iDVD and recreate the order I wanted.
    How does iDVD decide which order when the file has a mix of photos not from the same camera?
    Thanks

    How does iDVD decide which order when the file has a mix of photos not from the same camera?
    Good question and frankly I don't know the answer.
    But let me know if this helps:

  • Sort order for photos synched from Aperture

    I have synched photos from Aperture to the Apple TV, but the sort order when shown on Apple TV is not the same as the sort order in Aperture. Does anyone have an idea about which metadata field in Aperture is being used by Apple TV to determine the sort?

    Hi this is my first append to Apple support so things may go pear shaped...
    I have the same problem as you describe and have discovered that the order appears to be consistent with the file NAME order (as seen in Finder) This is not the camera file name but the version name I gave it when I imported the file into Aperture. I then exported the album to the desktop and streamed it to Appletv. (iTunes #count/album is sometimes wrong)
    Given a file list of say 40 files, the new (incorrect Appletv re-sorted) order follows a pattern based on the FIRST numeric decimal digit in the filename!
    Example - I have a folder containing 40 consecutive images - the new order these images will be displayed by Appletv will be as follows
    1 10[...]19 2 20[...]29 3 31[...]39 4 40 5 6 7 8 9
    I've proved this by photographing 40 separate image files each one showing a number in the range of 1 to 40 as an individual image. These are in order by number (as appears in the image) & file number assigned by the camera, and also therefore by file date time. I imported them into Aperture and assigned them the Version name of 'Number' + sequence.
    So, when I view image file #1 named 'Number 1 of 40' I see the number '1' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:33:16 BDT. Similarly when I view image file #40 named 'Number 40 of 40' I see the number '40' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:37:34 BDT.
    I CAN CHANGE the order Appletv displays these by renaming them - eg change file name 'Number 10 of 40' to 'Number 41 of 40' makes it appear at the end. The sequence now becomes 1 11-19 etc 40 41. Nothing else appears to have changed.
    I've since found that a separate burn of different files(29) using Toast followed the same pattern.
    Since starting this append iTunes has the added the album of 40 numbers to its list and I have just viewed them on Atv slideshow. Bizarrely the order is different again - 3,5,2,4,1,10,13,15,6,11,14,7,8,12,9,32,17,33,26,22,23,28,18,29,20,24,35,16,21,3 1,19,25,30,34,27,37,38,40,39,36. Random is off. Please can we have a fix for this or at least a workaround.
    Thanks.

  • How can I get my photos back from icloud

    How can I get my photos back from my iPhone 4 on the icloud I got my music and my contacts but for some reason I can not get my photos. 

    Hi sadie,
    When you did the backup, were the 1500 pictures all on your camera roll? Or were they on other Albums?
    iCloud is not a storage device for your photos. You should be importing them to a computer or uploading them to a cloud storage facility like DropBox or Flickr.
    Each time you do a backup of to iCloud, it creates a backup of what is on your phone at that moment in time. So, if you had some photos on one backup, but not the other, you would only be able to "recover" the photos from one of those backups. Photos in iCloud are not aggregative.
    Also, the iCloud backup of photos only includes those photos or videos in the Camera Roll. Photos in any other album are not backed up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
    If you had PhotoStream turned on, then the last month's-worth of PhotoStream, or the last 1000 PhotoStream photos would also still be viewable.
    Can you tell us where those 1500 photos were located when you did your backup?
    Sorry that you lost your photos. Take a look at DropBox in the App Store, or check out Flickr. If you aren't importing your photos on a regular basis to a computer, then these would be your best bet to protect your photos going forward.

  • Dates not coming with photos imported from shared libraries

    My partner and i both have macs, we both use iphoto. Usually we use the shared photo library features to exchange photos so that we both have all the photos we want.
    The problem is that the dates don't follow. I'd actually like to see all the metadata imported (faces etc) but i'll live without that but the dates is a real problem.
    I'm pretty sure they used to come with the photos imported from shared libraries, not sure why they stopped... Ideas?

    How are you sharing the Libraries? How are you reading the dates?
    Regards
    TD

  • How do I get my photo's from the iCloud to my computer?

    how do I get my photo's from icloud to my computer?

    If you mean on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, check Photos, then click Options and check My Photo Stream.  This requires iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or higher, or Aperture 3.2.3 or higher.  Depending on your version, you may also have the option to enable photo sharing.
    If you want photo stream photos to be automatically imported to your events, open iPhoto and go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import under My Photo Stream.
    (Note: when you first enable photo stream, you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days.  To stream older photos, you will have to add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.)

  • HT4221 How does the Ipad5 sort photos synced from a computer

    How does the Ipad5 sort photos synced from a laptop? 

    Hi Nancy 2803,
    I am guessing you want to sync photos from your iPhone 5S to a Laptop i.e. a Windows Laptop.
    Firstly when you insert your iPhone into your computer, go to:
    1.     Computer
    2.     Wait for the Laptop to recognize the iPhone
    3.     Right Click on your iPhone Named: [NAME iPhone] or something simular
    4.     Click import pictures and videos
    5.     Click import settings
    6.     Click Folder Name
    This folder name is how the images will be arranged, either:
    a) Date imported and Tag
    b) Date Taken and Tag
    c) Tag and Date imported
    d) Tag and Date taken
    e) Tag and Data Taken Range
    f) Tag
    I use Date Taken and Tag as this allows me to see in my pictures library a date and the images taken that date, i.e. all the images taken on the 25/12/2013, if you use date imported, you just get all your images stored in one folder and cannot quickly find images on a date.
    In this setting you can also change the folder to where the images/videos will be saved, the name of the images as well as options such as delete images from the device once imported.
    Many Thanks, Happy New Year and I cannot wait to hear from you again in regards to this issue.

  • How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv.

    How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv?

    Thanks for you reply.  When I paint, I bring up the photo as you suggested.  I begin painting.  After about 10 minutes or so, the photo goes blank.  And, I have to start the process over again to get that same photo.  It interrupts the painting process.  I think it goes blank due to a sleep function.  I have gone into the Apple TV settings and turned off the sleep function.  But, this does not seem to work.  What can I do to keep the image on the TV screen permanently?

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

  • How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

  • How can I delete a photo album from my IPad?

    How can I delete a photo album from my I Pad?

    You can turn off photo stream via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream 'off' , I don't think that it is possible to remove individual photo stream photos. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.
