Importing iPhoto to Aperture, retouches done in iPhoto error

I seem to have a bit of strange problem with modified pictures after they are imported in A3.
I am using Iphoto 8.1.1 and have just bought Aperture 3. I decided to import all my iphoto pictures using the import iphoto library function.
I noticed that all images that had (in iphoto) been edited using the retouch function to reduce blemishes have problems in Aperture. The problem appears to be where the brush was used is now pixilated in that area and it just looks like a cluster of "noise". This only seems to happen when I used the import iphoto library. I tried to replicate the issue importing some of the same pictures individually and there was no issue. Than I made a new library tried to import iphoto library and same issue ones again. Exporting the picture out of aperture keeps this error. It's quite a worry as I have several hundred of these pictures and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

You didn't do anything wrong at import. The master file is whatever you imported, be it jpeg or png or something else. Neither iPhoto nor Aperture actually change your import in any way. Its stored exactly as when imported. So if you wish to discard the iPhoto retouches and then import from iPhoto you can.
That is not what you wanted to do but I cant suggest a fix.

Photo Stream activation fails in iPhoto and Aperture

Hi,
i've just updated to OSX 1.7.2 on my iMac and MBA and to iOS5 on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Everything basically works well except the iCloud photo stream on my mac.
iPhone and iPad play well and push and pull fotos from the photo stream.
On the mac i can't activate the photo stream. I've updated iPhoto and Aperture but when i try to activate the photo stream it says that it's unable to reach the photo stream. I've already logged out from i cloud and re logged in again but that didn't help. iPhoto and Aperture are the latest versions.
Anyone with an idea?
Addition: Activation works well on another iMac with another iCloud account from my girl friend (in the same local network), i've also double checked little snitch isn't blocking anything.
Addition 2: It also works on my MBA with the same iCloud account that doesn't work on the iMac. Weird,

I'm fairly certain that it's an account-wide preference. You could always enable a second user account, turn on Fast User Switching, and only swap to that account to launch iPhoto and do your Photo Stream business.

RAW image import (problem in iphoto and aperture)

either the problem is me (my understanding of what I am trying to do) or something has gone awry with both aperture and iphoto...
when importing RAW images (canon 40d camera) many of which are shot in monochrome and show up as such on the camera (they even show up in b/w on the preview import in iphoto and aperture) ALL images once imported to both iphoto and aperture are in full color. This was not the case on two previous imports (shots taken in b/w RAW imported as b/w RAW images) but now seems to happen every time. I have restarted computed, reimported, checked all settings and nothing is working.
I am missing something, yes? Thanks for any help.

no ... you will have to export it as a .tiff or .jpeg ...
and then import into aperture ...
although aperture does have a great monochrome tool worth checking out ...
something to consider is to shoot your monochromes in RAW+JPG and import into aperture ...
see here for working with RAW+JPG:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=380111&tstart=0
when stacked you will have the B&W from in camera and the colour RAW file ... tweak the monochrome mixer until the RAW is to your liking ... you can use the B&W JPG for a baseline ...

What's the best way to merge, restore or reconstruct iPhoto and Aperture libraries to resolve images that are not found/offline?

Hey there, Apple Support Communities.
To start, I'm working on a MBP Retina 15" with a 2.3GHz i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM. 10GB free on a 256GB SS HD. Attached are two external HDs - one 1TB Western Digital portable drive from 2011, one 2TB Porsche LaCie non-portable drive from 2013; both connected via USB. All photo libraries in question are on the external drives.
I have Aperture 3.5.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. I prefer to work in Aperture.
The Issue(s)
Over the years, I have accumulated a number of iPhoto libraries and Aperture libraries. At one point, I thought my WD drive was dying so I purchased the LaCie and copied all libraries over the the LaCie drive. (Turns out, there's probably an issue with my USB port reading drives, because I can once again see the WD drive and occasionally I can't see the LaCie drive.)
So now I have old version of some libraries on the WD drive, and new versions on the LaCie drive.
When I was moving things, I ran the software Gemini to de-dupe my iPhoto libraries. Not sure what effect that may have had on my issues.
In my main Aperture library and in some iPhoto libraries, I get the image-not-found badge or exclamation point. I've dug through the hidden Masters folders in various libraries to find the original image. In some cases, I have been able to find the original image, sometimes in a different version of the iPhoto library.
My Question(s)
1. For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
2. For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
3. Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
TL;DR: Too many iPhoto and Aperture libraries, and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries. Steps/process to fix?
Thank you! Let me know if you need add'l info to offer advice.
With appreciation,
Christie

That will not be an easy task, Christie.
I am afraid, your cleaning session with Gemini may have actually removed originals. I have never used this duplicate finder tool, but other posters here reported problems. Gemini seems to replace duplicate original files in photo libraries by links, and this way, deleting images can cause the references for other images to break. And Aperture does not follow symbolic links - at least, I could never get it to find original files this way, when I experimented with this.
1. For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
You have to find the originals yourself. If you can find them or restore them from a backup, Aperture can reconnect them. The reconnect panel can show you, where the originals are supposed to be, so youcan see the filename and make a Spotlight search.
For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
Make a copy of the missing original you found in a folder outside the iPhoto library. You can either open the iPhoto library in Aperture and use "File > Locate Referenced file" to reconnect the originals, or simply reimport them. Then Lift&Stamp all adjustments and metadata to the reimported version.
See this manual page on how to reconnect originals: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images (the paragraph: Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images)
Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
References images will stay referenced, managed will remain managed. You need to unhide all hidden photos in iPhoto - this cannot be done in Aperture.
and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries. Steps/process to fix?
That is probably due to Gemini's replacing duplicate originals by links, and your best cause of action is to fix this before merging the libraries. Reconnecting can be done for your iPhoto libraries in Aperture.

How to explain. OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external. All can be viewed in itunes, but none on the external will sync to my iPad. What's up with that.

How to explain. OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external. All can be marked or unmarked in itunes, but none of the photos stored on the external drive will sync to my iPad. Anybody know what's up with that?

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

MobileMe Galleries created in Aperture are syncing with iPhoto

I used to use iPhoto, but switched to Aperture 3. Now when I create a MobileMe Gallery, the photos publish to the site but don't show up in the Aperture library under MobileMe. When I log in to the Mobileme site, I check the settings for the gallery and it says it is syncing with iPhoto. I can change it to Aperture manually, and then it will show up properly when I go back to Aperture, but I can't figure out why it's defaulting to iPhoto. I went into the iPhoto preferences and removed all accounts, and there also are not any photos in iPhoto at all. Any help is appreciated.
Nate

Thanks Richard, very helpful. I wondered why I couldn't see my old mobileme galleries in Aperture.
I have swapped between iPhoto '09, Aperture 3, iPhoto '11 and now back to Aperture. Whilst I love the ease of use and relative speed of iPhoto, Aperture's adjustments and masters/versions handling has the edge for me now that my masters collection is too big for my MBP. And with a clean install of Lion my machine now seems more responsive than it has been for a while.
Changing the setting of each gallery is a bit dull, is there a global 'manage mobile me galleries with iPhoto/Aperture' setting anywhere?

Can't import photos from iPhoto or aperture - the me that files are not supported

Recently installed Photoshop elements 12 editor. I can't import photos from iPhoto nor from Aperture. I get message saying that type of file is not supported. How do I import photos so that I can use this program

Export versions to the desktop or create new folders in finder then import into Organizer using:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders

There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2. What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries before upgrading to Aperture 3?

Sharon-
Good idea.
Back up first.
I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

Importing photos from iPhoto to Aperture

Importing from cd, Nikon camera, and cf memory card to Aperture Library is working well for me; but importing from iPhoto is troublesome.
If I import from the iPhoto Library (a Library that has always seemed unnecessarily complex to me), there is neither rhyme nor reason to the import. If I import from within the open iPhoto program, everything comes out badged--even when I send the information to the Aperture Library.
Does anyone have a preferred way of importing albums and smart albums from iPhoto to Aperture?
Do you think it might be best to simply leave what is on iPhoto there, and start fresh with new photos in Aperture?
Thanks for your input,

I tried importing iPhoto ONCE. Ugh.
After deleting it (how arcane are rolls when Aperture
allows much better control), I then used reference
iPhoto library. Same issue with structure of course,
but at least it no longer duplicated space.
I then used Aperture's speed at selecting to
determine what I wanted to import into Aperture. I
then created my project and folder structure in
Aperture and drag/dropped my selected images to my
target project. Then I killed off the iPhoto
reference.
G.
Thanks, David, your response helps me feel somewhat less foolish/incompetent.
I had actually made peace with iPhoto5, using a combination of albums and smart albums,after disliking all the previous versions. Now, I just want iPhoto out of the way.
Last night I imported all iPhoto material into
Aperture (rolls, ugh!!). In addition, I set up two special albums for prized family photos.
After looking it over again this morning and reading your thoughts, I think that I will keep only the two special albums (from iPhoto) in Aperture, leave in iPhoto all the pictures that started out there, and backup the iPhoto pics on external hard drive. And never put anything else in iPhoto.
Once again, thanks for your helpful thoughts.

Moving from DPP/iPhoto to Aperture

With the price cut I succumbed and bought Aperture and am pretty pleased with it. I love the workflow - miles better than before. Now though I have to decide how I am going to deal with all my old images. I've had my Canon 350D for about a year now and have taken 2500 images, all of which I have stored in RAW format in date named folders as imported by the Canon software. I then used Canon DPP to modify the images as necessary, generate JPEGs and then put the JPEGs into iPhoto for cataloguing, making into books etc etc. Also in the iPhoto library I have lots of pictures from my own and my friends compact cameras, totalling 4280 images.
So my question is how to use iPhoto and Aperture going forward, and what to do with my old EOS350D files. Is there any way I can somehow import these JPEGs with their organisational structure into Aperture but also associate the RAW files with it? Or should I maybe just take my best images, put them into Aperture as RAWs and ignore the others? Or take the RAWs and reorganise them? Or should I just take the whole iPhoto Library and use Aperture for RAWs, JPEGs, compact digicam pics etc etc.
BEar in mind that the way I tend to work is to just take lots of shots and keep them as a history of stuff I've done or events I've been at. I like to have a collection of shots from, say, a wedding to remind me of it. It doesn't have to be a great photo if it means something to me or people close to me. Occassionally I'll get a goodie that I might do something with and enlarge for showing to a broader audience (more through luck than judgement probably!), but really I tend to use the DSLR the way a lot of people use a compact, but get better pictures.
Any thoughts/suggestions?

Do you intend to do further work on those old RAW
files?
Of course. At any rate, I want to have them at hand.
If so, you should have no trouble importing
them into Aperture if they were taken by a camera
supported by Aperture. They should be in your
Pictures folder in their original form.
I use my own organizational system that spans (at the moment) 7 300 GB disks. The Picutes folder is too limiting. I don't use iPhoto to import, therefore all of my RAW files exist together in a folder for each project.
If you
worked on them in DPP, then DPP will have an extra
file of instructions on what to do to the RAW in
order to produce the final image. But the RAW files
themselves will be in their original form and
Aperture will import them. ORIGINAL RAW FILES ARE
NEVER MODIFIED! There is no such thing as a "DPP
modified CR2 file".
With all due respect, yes there is such a thing, sort of. DPP will append the recipe data to the end of the RAW file (embedded within the file, but not within the raw data itself). Therefore, you could say that the raw file has been changed, in that it's been added to.
Aperture will not import the DPP
recipe, nor will Aperture import the RAW file as
modified by the DPP recipe.
Do you mean to look as modified by the recipe? That is understood and expected. Fortunately Aperture seems to have a similar look compared to DPP.
My concern however, is whether Aperture will recognize/import CR2 files that have been handled by another raw converter "modified" i.e., had recipe data embedded within them. I'm not concerned that Aperture will not interpret the recipe files and give a similar look (I should have clarified that in the first post).
Maybe I should post this as a new question to avoid hijacking the original questions raised by Phil (but I would be interested in hearing from you Phil - or anyone who uses DPP).

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Problems with iCloud photos on both iPhoto and Aperture after uploading Yosemite

I uploaded Yosemite and am unable to access my photo albums in iCloud on both iPhoto or Aperture.
I have repaired permissions,repaired database,rebooted,checked preferences. done everything I can think of to get them visible on my Macbook pro.
I know that the albums are there as they show on my iPad.
any new photos are shared and I can place them in the albums but none of the 15,000+ photos previously shared show in their respective albums.
This after leaving the programmes running for 3 days.
any help really appreciated
Thank you

Can you please show a sample of the wrong dates - both for Aperture and iPhoto?
What is your Aperture version and your iPhoto version exactly?
What did you do, before this problem started? Have you tried already some trouble shooting, like repairing the Aperture library ? Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
