Image correction lifting/placing in Aperture

I've recently begun using Aperture and just upgraded to Ver. 1.5. However, since doing that, every time I lift a correction from one image and place it onto another, I get an error message stating that an inconsistency in my data has been found and I need to re-boot aperture and it provides an "ok" button which, I push.
It then places the image correction on the desired image but, does so in triplicate, creating 3 versions.
Any clue why this is happening and what can be done to resolve it?
Thanks!

Hi,
Does this error occur on all of your images? If so,
are they standard RAW or JPEG images? What happens
when you import a new image from your destop and Lift
and Stamp 1 simple adjustment? Do you still get the
error. I have not ever seen this error, so I'm not
even sure how it is prompted to appear.
You might just try to delete the Aperture .plist to
see if it corrects itself.
Thanks for your message. No, it doesn't happen on all images. It's happening pretty consistently with verticals and about 75% of the time with horizontals.
I'm shooting everything in RAW format.
My workflow is that, when inserting the CF card into the reader, I drag the contents to the designated folder on my hardrive, not into the Aperture library. However, I've tried also putting the images into the Aperture library and, it seems to make no difference.
I also just discovered I'm not able to create web galleries which, I was able to do, prior to upgrading to 1.5.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Image editing selection tools in Aperture 2?

Are there any image editing selection tools in Aperture 2 (Magic Wand, selection box etc.)? If not, you can't make any corrections without effecting the whole picture. I guess that would just send you back to Photoshop or Elements for image editing, and then you might as well stay in the Adobe world.

This isn't what Aperture is designed for. The features you are asking about are not really photographic in nature - they are image manipulations that go beyond what Aperture is designed to do.
Think of Aperture more as a catalog that allows photographers to make the vast majority of adjustments they need to make to single images (contrast, exposure, white balance, dust spots, minor clone/patching, etc.). It also provides strong keywording and search capabilities.
Folks who need to do advanced image manipulations/compositing etc. will have to do it in PhotoShop, but they will lose the "library" functions found in Aperture. Lightroom is the same way - you have to export your pic's to PhotoShop to do serious editing/layers, etc.

Unsupported image format following update to Aperture 3.4.1

Following the update to Aperture 3.4.1 I can not use the JPEG file as the orignal in a RAW + JPEG file import. When I right click on an RAW + JPEG paired image and ask to use the JPEG as the original from either my Canon 5D Mark II or Canon 7D images the screen goes black and says Unsupported Image Format. I then ask to use the RAW as the original and I can see the RAW image. I've tried out other camera makes of RAW + JPEG images and the JPEG can be seen no problem. I've sent Apple a feedback comment on this.
I'd like to know if anyone with Canon 5D or 7D mixed RAW + JPEG images is having the same problem, or possibly any other Canon camera as I suspect this could be isolated to Canon files.

Assuming you've placed your aperture library in the default folder that Aperture wants to place it (within your pictures folder) then you should find your Aperture.plist file in this folder (~/Library/Preferences). The file to look for is called com.apple.Aperture.plist, make sure you do not have Aperture running at the time you delete this file.
I can't guarantee this will sort out any of your problems but you never know!
Also I understand this file is a simple file that tells Aperture what all your preferences are in terms of set-up and appearance, so if you've made lots of appearance adjustments from the normal way that Aperture looks on a first installation you may want to make comprehensive notes about how you have it looking etc so you can re-do those preferences.
I simply have left it looking as it did after first installation hence I was not concerned about deleting the file as the very next time you run Aperture it creates the file based on your current preferences.
I'd be very interested to know if anyone is experiencing a similar problem that I am as it's quite weird.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8Gb 1333 MHz DDR3 and all software including Aperture is fully up to date and I store me images solely in the Aperture library. The problem is only showing up on Canon JPEGs.

Advice needed about lens correction plugin's for Aperture 2.1

Please can I have some advice about lens correction plugin's for Aperture 2.1?
I see that the Apple Aperture Downloads site promotes two:
1)LensFix 4.3
An external editor. The Aperture Downloads site calls it Lens Fix 4.3 but when you go the developers site (Kekus Digital) it only shows LensFix CI is this the same thing? Am I supposed to download the PTLens database from epaperpress.com and install manually before it is any good?
OR
2)Edit FixLens 1.6
Their site looks very poorly designed and the link from the Apple page does not go to the Aperture plugin, you have to drill down until you find it! Does it use the exif data about your lens and the zoom setting it was on automatically or do you need to configure it each time?
Which one did you buy? Was it worth it?
Thanks for your time!

LensFix CI is the same thing. It has the standalone version, the PS plug-in and the Aperture plug-in.
I've used LensFix via PS for a long time. It's great but... it can be a bit buggy if the image in use is 16-bit. Often it will work on the first image or two and then crash on the next.
I am told it's not compatible with PS CS4.
Another option is PTLens. It's also a PS plug-in and an Aperture plug-in. It's supposed to be CS4 compatible.
http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/index.html
It uses the same database of lens corrections as LensFix.
FWIW, I've tended to do this kind of work in Photoshop, either round tripping an image in Aperture or exporting an image from Aperture. Since Aperture plug-ins are going to 16-bit Tiff files anyway and since most images (if they are final files for clients) need some more PS work, I just go that route.

Images are always placed -2pt below base line - how to change?

Hi all,
for small icons that should appear in the text, we use image elements within the paragraph. When I select the placement option at insertion point, then the image is always placed -2pt "above" the base line (thus, actually below the line). If I try to change this then it is reset when I save the topic.
Can I modify the read/write rules to allow manual chnages, or set this globally to 0pt? We use FrameMaker 9, DITA for this project.
Robert

Sorry about the delayed response.
It would take a script or FDK client to automate the setting while editing within FrameMaker. When working with XML, you can, as Michael noted, use attributes to store the anchored frame properties in XML so that you can round-trip them. If you are willing to use FM's default attribute names and values, you don't even need read/write rules.
Another approach, if all instances of an element type are to be treated the same way is to specify the necessary settings in read/write rules. In that case, you can edit in FM not caring how the anchored frames look. When you save as XML and open the result, the r/w rules will kick in and you'll get what you want. For example, you might define an element called InlineGraphic and use the r/w rule:
element "InlineGraphic" {
   is fm graphic element;
   fm property position value is "inline";
   fm property baseline offset value is "0";
In this case, your DTD would not define attributes for the position or baseline offset properties. Whenever you open an XML document, the InlineGraphic elements will come in At Insertion Point with an offset of 0.0 pt.

IPad wont show .jpg images correctly

My new iPad wont show .jpg images correctly. They all get a yellow/blue filter almost like a negative photo. This is in Safari, Maps,Youtube and every App using .jpg images. Gifs, and png, viewing video etc is fine. Also the home screen background/wallpaper gets this problem.
BUT saved .jpgs from Safari strangely enough look fine in Photos. (Thumbnails stil look bad though.)
I thought it had to be a software issue, but reseting my device with newest OS (3.2) is not helping.
Any others with the same problem?

Thanks for your reply. I have not created any JPGs, or transfered them to the iPad. I just surf with Safari and all .jpg's are getting this strange colors. When starting Maps the satellite mode gets wrong colors. The background on the home screen are the ones that came with the iPad. Strange thing is that when restoring it with software reset, the background is ok. When choosing a new (even choosing the same one) they get wrong colors when going to the home screen. (They all look good when choosing)
It looks like the iPad is not doing the final steps on rendering the images. (And also have a short blink when being displayed) However as I said, all images look good when viewing fullscreen in the Photos App. Even the ones saved from Safari which looked bad in Safari.

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something .plist remove them too.
then try again.
And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
Regards
Léonie
P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
You can reveal it also from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

How can I save an HDR image from CS5 back to aperture as a tiff

I cant seem to get the hdr image to save back to aperture from CS5 . The save as box keeps coming up .

I am exporting 3 raw images to PS CS5 , merging in ps hdr pro ( mode 16 BIT , local adaptation ), then doing all the HDR adjustments. When adjustments are done in HDR PRO I click o.k. & it goes back to PS where I do more editing. When I try to save from here , I can not save back to aperture. I have to use save as & save to desk top & then drag bacxk in to aperture

CS4 Photomerge Won't Align Images Correctly

I've used PS CS4 successfully several times to create panoramic images. I decided to re-do a panorama that I had created with an older version a few years ago, but CS4 won't align the images correctly. It keeps trying to make the horizon into a wavey line. It also is not giving me the option of adjusting its results. Is there anything I could do to fix this?

You probably don't want to hear this, but Photoshop CS5 apparently has improved horizon handling over CS4. I've noticed the horizons in my panos are coming out better with CS5.
That said, have you tried "Cylindrical" mode instead of "Automatic"?

Colorsync : sepia tone versus sepia image correction

Hello,
When using Colorsync, you can change an image to *"sepia tone"* using a predefined profile. But there's also a "Sepia" slider when you click on the *"image correction"* button. However, they give a totally different result...
The first one gives a result that looks more or less like the ones being taken immediately from a camera with the sepia filter selected, while the second one (from the "image correction" slider) seems totally wrong. How come?
If I do the conversion to sepia in (e.g.) Picasa or Photoshop, they seem to look like the (correct?) "sepia tone"-version. But on the other side, (e.g.) Pixelmator and Seashore give the (wrong?) "image correction"-version...
Now, I'm interpreting them as "correct" and "wrong", but actually, I can't image that (e.g.) Pixelmator would do a "totally wrong" sepia conversion — so that brings me to this: *what's the difference between these two sepia-versions*?
I don't have enough knowledge about this, so I hope someone can help me out here...
-- Many thanks for you reply,
Franky Backeljauw

I tried using the algorithm, but it turned my image
purple rather than brow. :(The Delphi code has bug.
A simpler version does work:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
public class Sepia{
public static void main(String[] args){
    ImageIcon iic = new ImageIcon("Pic6.jpg");
    Image img = iic.getImage();
    ImageFilter filter = new SepiaFilter();
    img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage
     (new FilteredImageSource(img.getSource(), filter));
    iic.setImage(img);
    JLabel lab = new JLabel(iic);
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, lab);
    System.exit(0);
class SepiaFilter extends RGBImageFilter {
int depth;
public SepiaFilter(int d){
    if (d < 0){
      d = 0;
    depth = d;
    canFilterIndexColorModel = true;
public SepiaFilter(){
    this(20);
public int filterRGB(int x, int y, int rgb){
    int r, g, b, gry;
    Color c = new Color(rgb);
    r = c.getRed();
    g = c.getGreen();
    b = c.getBlue();
    gry = (r + g + b) / 3;
    r = g = b = gry;
    r = r + (depth * 2);
    g = g + depth;
    if (r > 255){
      r = 255;
    if (g > 255){
      g = 255;
    c = new Color(r, g, b);
    return c.getRGB();
}

I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.

Downloading images shot in RAW into Aperture 3

Downloading images shot in RAW into Aperture 3, why does it look great on my monitor, then when the images finish loading, the image is dark, then requiring me to fix-it.

Have you applied any in-camera processing to your photos? Like "Preserve Highlights"?
When you import raw images into Aperture, you will see the camera generated preview, that is embedded into your raw file, while Aperture is importing the raw file. Once the file has been imported, Aperture will create its own thumbnails and previews.
The camera generated, embedded jpeg will reflect all in-camera processing of the raw, but the final image in Aperture will not show this. Aperture uses only the naked raw, as directly recorded by the sensor. If you want the camera processing, import jpegs and not raw.

LR 3.2 - how to reset images w.o. image corrections to the original state?

Hi,
I switched from LR 2.7 to LR 3.2 and let LR 3.2 upgrade my catalog. After becoming familiar with LR 3.2 and the new process (2010), I decided to migrate all my images (for about 50.000) to the new process (2010). This worked without any problems. But now all my images are marked in the grid view with thumbnail badges - even those images without any image corrections.
How can I reset these images (only these w.o. image corrections !) to the initial or unmarked state? Any suggestions?
Reinhard

The process for one image is clear:
Check history panel if the migration to process 2010 is the only modification.
Press Reset button.
Clear History Log (optional)
But I am lookig for a bulk process for step 1 ...
