How to use Aperture 3 Photo to make a card in iPhoto?

I have been using Aperture 3 exclusively for a couple of years and now I would like to create some cards in the iPhoto Letterpress process using some of these photos. Some would be blank to write a message to family & friends, some Holiday designed cards etc
When I went to make a birthday card (as a test) to send to a cousin, I wasn't able to create it using the Aperture 3 image I wanted . Do I have to import them into iPhoto?
Thanks / Gene

Two ways:
If you generate previews in Ap 3 then you can share them with the iLife and iWork apps. (AP 3 preferences). Then, in iPhoto go File -> Show Aperture Library. You'll get a Media Browser window. You can then drag an image from there to the iPhoto Window. This yields your Ap 3 Preview.
or
Export from Aperture (File -> Export) to the Finder and then import to iPhoto.

How do I drag photo back to memory card from iPhoto?

I am trying very hard to export a photo in JPG format from iPhoto to my SDHC memory card reader, and when I do, my computer tells me that the two photos are on the memory card. However, when I put the memory card back into my digital camera, it says "No images." Is there any way to put photos back onto the memory card, or is that impossible to do? I've tried so many methods, including exporting the photos from iPhoto, dragging and dropping from iPhoto, and dragging and dropping from the Pictures folder itself, but nothing seems to be working. What the heck should I do?

The layout of a camera card is quite specific. The camera will only show you images if they are in the correct place, exactly where it expects them to be.
So, take a shot and see where it ends up on the card. The copy the images you want to see to that location.

I have used still photos to make a Quick Time movie using FCE. The DVD made using i-DVD looks somewhat grainy and the motion isn’t smooth when played on my TV. Other DVD’s I have made play much better and I am wondering if the problem is my Quick Time movie settings. The Dimensions and size of the problem movie are 1920X1080 and 584 MB respectively, while the movies that play better have Dimensions of 853X480 and are about 1.3 GB in size. Is this the source of my problem and how do I change things for the better.

Are you exporting to QuickTime Movie, or to QuickTime Conversion? For iDVD, you need to export to QuickTime Movie. Exporting to QT Conversion will kill the quality if you are moving the video from FCE to iDVD.
The file size per se makes no difference.
What size (pixel dimensions) are the photos that you put into your 1920x1080 sequence? Also, exactly what are the sequence properties ... is it 1920x1080i60 ... or i50? In North America it should be i60.
853X480 is an odd frame size. Where are you seeing this number? It would appear to be DV-NTSC, which has a frame size of 720x480. Your 1920x1080 frame size would not be DV-NTSC, it would be Apple Intermediate Codec. DV and AIC will look different, for sure.
Also, your quality setting in iDVD can affect the final video. You may want to check that also (in iDVD Preferences > Projects). Set it to Professional Quality if at all possible.

How to share Aperture photos

Just got 3rd generation Apple TV - does anyone know how to get Aperture photos to show up? I've set up home sharing

In the iTunes application go to file > homesharing and choose the photos you wish to share, click apply/sync and you should then be able to select the photos on the Apple TV.

How do I delete photos from my SD card using iPhoto?

I am trying to delete the photos on my SD card through iphoto but can't seem to find a delete button and it won't let me drag the photo to the trash can... Can anyone help me?

You can't. Use Image Capture instead.
It's located in your Applications folder.

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

Two ways:
1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

How do I import photos from a CF card?

How do I import photos from a CF card?

First, you'll need an external CF card reading device attached to one of your ports. Assuming you have that, you should be able to use Image Capture to import photos to a folder on your MBA.

When I go into iphoto, it registers Apple iphone - but the commands "import selected" and "import all" are not operational.

See:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
Also, this
Re: photos from my camera roll do not show up in photostream
included:
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Can I delete photos from my SD card in iPhoto?

I love iPhoto but i can't get one thing figured out. I want to delete photos from my SD card within iPhoto. I don't want to have to import things before deleting them. I don't like deleting them as I import because I worry about losing the pictures. So I like to import, back up on CD, and would then (and only then!) like to delete the ones I have imported & backed up from the camera.
I know I can do this manually in Finder but I would prefer to do it in iPhoto because it's easier, plus that way I can see which photos I'm deleting. I'm sure there is a way but it won't let me drag the photos to the trash.
I'm frustrated and I hope someone can help! Thanks in advance.

Aloha, I have found the easiest way to do what you are after is to set up Image Capture (located in your applications folder) to open when a camera/card is connected. You then have the option to view the photos, delete any you don't want and import them to iPhoto, or your desktop. I have a specific folder named downloaded pics which I send them to. You also have the option for Image Capture to erase card when finished importing. It is an extra step, but I have found it very helpful for not wasting space and not importing everything only to have to delete photos later. Hope this helps. JB

Themes are blank when trying to make a card in iPhoto

themes are blank when trying to make a card in iPhoto. Cards appear blank/white, no patterns, no detail. Tried re-downloading the latest update of iPhoto but no difference. Any ideas?

Greetings,
You need to reinstall iPhoto.
Questions:
What version of iPhoto are you running (iPhoto > About iPhoto)?
What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
General steps:
Remove the following files to the trash:
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > iPhoto (if present)
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > NetServices (if present)
Macintosh HD > Library > Receipts > iPhoto (anything with iPhoto in the name)
Macintosh HD > Applications > iPhoto
Insert the iLife install disk you have or the Applications disk that came with your computer and reinstall iPhoto: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2604
Once installation is complete go to the Apple > Software update and repeat this until no additional updates are offered.
Hope that helps.

How Realistic is it to Use Aperture with a JPG Workflow instead of iPhoto?

Hi!
(for reference, I am not a world-class photographer jet-setting all over the world with hot shot clients. I'm a serious hobbyist, enthusiast, freelancer, whatever you wanna call it. I get paid for small headshot and portrait gigs here and there. I am serious about my work, though.) I've been trying to get Aperture for a while, but spent a lot of time developing my skill as a photographer.
I no longer depend on shooting RAW. Is it really necessary to use Aperture if you're in a JPG workflow?
I don't struggle with exposure issues, color casts, and stuff like that. I rely on keywording, organizing, web galleries, and exporting to different sizes. I do that heavily in iPhoto. I've only used the demo of APerture a while ago when I shot RAW and I loved it. But, again, is it worth it if I shoot JPG?
Please give some solid advice about the fitness of the app for working with JPGs as opposed to iPhoto. Thanks so much!!!
Scott

I think Aperture has lots of benefits for jpeg users, although I would aslo advocate forgetting jpeg, even in a controlled environment.
let's go for it:
1
Aperture is structured for large libraries. if you do not put more than say, 3 to 5 hundred pix per project, you can go far without feeling the "slowing down" feeling of iPhoto users with large (20 000+) photo libraries.
2
Editing is non destructive, and you get the sliders from the previous edits where you left them. iPhoto will create a "modified" picture with your setting, then forget the settings (you can ask iPhoto to keep the original and in that case iPhoto creates a new file on your hard drive, effectively doubling the HD space used, whereas Aperture still only stores the original on disk, and makes the adjustments 'on the fly' when you call up the picture)
3
Keywording is done using IPTC and other standards, and the software allows embedding the keywords in the jpeg files when exporting... rendering your rating and keywording much more universal
4
Aperture lets you manipulate RAW files and JPEG files alongside, the workflow is exactly the same. So if you feel like switching to RAW occasionnaly or later, more permanently, all the e-learning will be on the same software (iPhoto can convert RAW files, but is very clunky for that particular use)...

Using Aperture Photos in iPhoto

In using iPhotos Cards, I learnt that I needed to import Aperture Previews into iPhoto 11 to used them. That wasn't a size / storage concern as I was only making a few cards & only used a few images. I have been using Aperture almost exclusively since 2007, have 12k+ images there for my books & slideshows and closed off iPhoto (9.8k images) except for the occasional card, reprint of a book etc.
In making several 2013 calendars in iPhoto11, I would like to utilize many photos from various trips that are now completely in Aperture 3 - Italy, Oregon and other travels and the idea of importing several thousand & having in both libraries seems much but unable to see where I can share Aperture Preview images w/o importing.
Is that a correct assumption?
Thanks....Gene

Larry - thanks as I had NOT read that article. I have Aperture 3.4.3 and iPhoto '11 9.4.2 so I'm all set there. I had opened the libraries before in each application BUT misunderstood what could or couldn't be done in each application!
So if I now understand it, I can switch & open my Aperture library in iPhoto (and vice versa also) , have access to the particular project of photos I wish to use in Calendar & Letterpress Cards, make these Calendars & Cards, buy & send off to Apple's Printed Services? Since I don't plan on doing any editing work in iPhoto for these photos, those iPhoto '11 created projects are only viewable there?
