I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way. -
I need GPIB Driver for Keithley 263 Calibrator/Source Meter using Labview. Can anybody help?
Thank you in advance.Hi,
on Keithley's website is explained :
"The Model 263 offers a more economical, more precise alternative to the Model 6430 or the Model 236 when used as a low-current source. It is used almost exclusively as a current calibrator."
This leads to Model 236.... A LabVIEW-driver is available @: http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver+%2BIDNetManufacturer%3A%22Keithley%22&qt=&layout=IDNet
Maybe you have to "reconstruct" some parts - but it will help.

My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?
No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
Good luck. -

Switching from windows to mac. Do I need to buy a whole new version? HELP!
I currently own PSE 7 for windows, and I'm switching over to a mac computer. Is there any way to buy just an upgrade or switchover package of some kind instead of buying a brand new software set? Because that seems like a waste of money. I got it just recently too and can't afford to buy a new one for a while. Please! I'm about ready to tear my hair out over this one!
No, unfortunately, PSE is not cross platform. If you have the current version for one platform adobe will crossgrade you to the other platform for a minimal charge, but since you have PSE 7 rather than 8 it's not an option.
Incidentally, you are aware that there is no organizer in the mac version?
If you need any kind of hardware, like a tablet or scanner that comes bundled with PSE, those discs usually include both the mac and windows versions. -
Elements 11: switched from Windows to Mac need help w/ serial
My friend upgraded, and no longer uses her Elements 11. She wants to give it to me. However she uses Windows, and I have a Mac. After I downloaded the program and it prompted me to enter the Serial Number, it says "This serial number is not valid for this product" - after some google research I believe it is because the serial number for Windows isn't compatible for Mac.
My question is, is it possible to find the serial number on this product that's compatible for Mac (like, do these products come with two different serial numbers; one for Windows and one for Macs)? Or is it just not going to work on a Mac at all? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.mrjayd, I switched from a PC to a G5 about 6 weeks ago & had the same problem. I used iPodRip which you can find at versiontracker.com. It worked like a charm, recovered playlists, playcounts, everything. Good Luck!

I bought an apple tv for its ability to mirror any of the content on my new ipad 3rd gen. Now after updating my apple tv i seem to have lost the ability to mirror my tablet onto the screen. Can somebody help with this. I have tried to do everything. I made sure both my apple tv and my ipad are connected to the same network. I also made shure my bluetooth was off. I can still airplay with my brothers iphone 4s. ( ios5.1) but i cannot do the same with my tablet.
To U2SockMonkey,
You must be a newbie, because otherwise you would have fixed it. I don't have that mirroring problem and it must be because you are not looking around and inform yourself thoroughly. It took me also 2 days of grief before I found out how to do it. Not even to mention that the Apple Engineer that I called did not have a solution either and just suggested that I should send my Apple TV back or go to a Apple Store nearby.
I was pretty annoyed about that such a little black box was giving me grief. I have been working in the IT industry for over 30 years and I know quite a bit inside out about many hardware's. But my opinion is that sending out Version 6.0 Aka 5.1 as you rightfully say is not on with me.
This is the same behaviour that Apple now does as Microsoft forever is doing. Not finishing the products and putting it on the market or release it before it is finished and has bugs in it.
Personally this irks me and annoys me. Because I am in that field for many years and have seen what grief it causes. I have noticed that an Administrator has removed another post that I made about other matters concerning iPads and especially with iPad 3 and 4 now and that there are also other people who make inflamatory remarks to people ( Julian Wright for e.g.) about how they have to spend their money for the latest stuff of Apple and come over very aggressive, selfish, if not evil.
For your information, I used to work for Apple, I know Apple inside and how they work and what they used to do ? They were really nice for their employees and customers. But I think that has changed now for whatever reason they have. Very disappointing. It's up to Apple not to listen, I have no control of that, but it will cost them at some point.
Besides that point, I feel that some people are been taken for a ride and when I am expressing that this is not OK I should be rewarded for that instead of being rejected. -
Switched from windows to Mac, do I have to pay to download Lightroom 5 again?
I just bought a new Mac and want to put Lightroom to this desktop, Do I have to reorder the Lightroom 5 or is there a way I can just download the one I purchased a while ago?
Install the trial version. When the trial screen appears choose the option indicating that you have a serial number. Enter the serial number that you have now.
