Image Export Presets won't save

Hey folks, since I've upgraded to Aperture 2.1, I hadn't setup any new export presets since using Aperture 1.5 and noticed that my export behaviour is all messed up.
Specifically - if I try to add my own preset, upon hitting the OK button and revisiting the image export preset screen, my added presets do not persist!
Even more surprisingly, if I delete many of the existing presets (say all the TIFF presets) when I come back to the Image export presets the deleted presets have returned from the dead.
Can anyone provide some insight on this? I can't find any other place in Aperure or the OS that governs the preset settings.

Fyi - if you run into this problem completely un-installing and re-installing Aperture seems to have fixed it.
I'm not clear on what lead up to the issue tho.

Export presets do not save file naming template

I don't know if this is a bug or a missing feature so I'll post here first, then submit a bug report if necessary. I have done a search first but not found anything relevant.
When you create an Export Preset, LR does not save the File Naming Template you want to use with it, the template is always whichever you used last. Seems a bit odd because you might want to use different filenaming conventions depending on what you are doing with the export, eg. different names for proofs, web galleries, etc.
However, if I am missing something, please me let me know.
Kind regards,
mcv

That's what I see also but what I meant was that two 'options' down, you can choose what 'File Naming' template to use, eg. Filename, Custom Text (x of y), etc. These don't get saved with your Export Preset, they stay the same as the last one you used. At least on my Windows version.
I don't know how you do enclosures like you did, so I'm linking to the images instead to show you what I mean.
While I was taking screenshots of this I noticed some other peculiar behaviour. It seems that the preset DOES actually save the filenaming template but doesn't show you this. I'll explain as follows:
Here I have a template for full size JPEGs, I invented some custom text and that's why the preset says 'edited'.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_168305550246ba83c417104.jpg
Here I have changed the preset but the File Naming template appears to have stayed the same, though it does show a 'preview' (01.jpg).
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_56540006946ba83c532d43.jpg
However, this is odd - I moved the mouse over the custom text box and the words instantly changed to the words I had last used (Castafo is the name of a band). I had not saved the name of the band in the template.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_117289421846ba83c645133.jpg
Lastly, I tried another preset and again it appears the template is the same but the 'preview' is correct. Mouseing over did not change any text.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_168262086846ba83c76e439.jpg
Pretty weird and inconsistent behaviour, don't you think? The software that is, not me - I already know about me(!)
I always keep an eye on the preview anyway so no big deal but do you have any thoughts Ian, or anyone else?
Thanks,
mcv

What's the fix for "missing (image) files" that won't save?

I keep re-entering some images on my iWeb site & save them, only to find them "missing"????
Help! Thanks.
Sunny

How are you adding the images to iWeb - dragging them onto the page or onto a Photo template?
Where are they missing from - the published website? If so, try publishing to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and launch the site in the browser by double clicking the index.html file. Are the images still missing?

Image Export presets frustration

Hi,
So I have 200 images both portrait/landscape orientations.
I want to export so that all the "long" edges are 3000px and short 2000px
I know in Lr you can export with "long edge" dimension no matter what orientation so is there a way to set Aperture to size any image regardless of orientation in this way?
I don't think that the "Fit within" preset is what I want.
Thanks for all and any help.

Actually that is what you want.

Color Board Preset Won't Save

I'm feeling really dumb here. Someone stop me if this sounds wrong...
This is straight from the help...
Save a color correction preset
In the Timeline, select a clip that has the color correction look you want to save, and open the Color Board.
Choose Save Preset from the Action pop-up menu (the little gear icon) in the lower-right corner of the Color Board.
Type a name for the preset and click OK.
OK, so I do that, and go back to that preset list, except... my named preset is nowhere to be found.
Any chance there's something else I've done that could affect this? It seems so remarkably straight forward.

I'm having the same issue - not finding a 'saved' preset...
When I go to delete the two preference files you indicate, this is where it gets interesting. I had first downloaded the trial version of FCP X, then purchased the application.
When I look in the folder I see:
User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.FinalCut.plist and
User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.FinalCutTrial.LSSharedFileList.plist. (note "trial")
Yikes! I wonder how many other FC files have "trial" associated with them? What to do?

LR 1.3 cannot save changes to export preset - only create new presets

So, in LR 1.2, I could change some parameters in a preset (export presets) and then save the changed preset. But the upgraded LR 1.3 export form does not seem to have a "save" option. I can create a new preset, I can remove a preset, but I cannot save a change to an already existing preset. I can get around it by ...
. add, creating a new (ie. temporary) name saving my changes
. open the original preset
. remove (the old preset)
. open the new preset (with the temp name)
. add using the old preset name that I like to use
. open the temporary (ie. new) preset
. remove (to delete the temporary preset)
- yuck! What an ugly work around :(
Can we please have our save option back again?

It's still there. Right-click the preset you want to update and select that option.

Boot Camp Assistant Can't Move Files? Image won't save ('resource busy')

I've been trying to set up boot camp and every time I go to partition the drive I get this message:
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
My drive is already set up as an OS Extended (Journaled) volume. I went to try to save a disk image and it won't save b/c it always says resource is busy. Well obviously I need to use the computer to back up it's own hard drive so of course it's busy.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you sure you had enough free space on the drive for the Windows partition you tried to create? Have you tried repairing the drive?
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Watermark not showing correctly on image export

I've come from Aperture 2, and when I exported jpegs I had a small watermark - a 15 x 18 png file - that I added to my exports. When I upgraded to Aperture 3 I did it by creating a new library and importing the Aperture 2 library. My existing image export presets appeared, but with the watermarks missing. I added the watermark using the preset dialog. When I tried to change the position of the watermark in the dialog, the watermark did not move in the preset dialog. When I printed the picture the *watermark was scaled up* to fill the whole picture. This makes the watermark unusable.
Anyone else come across this? Any work-arounds?

Same problem here. They really mucked this up.
It needs to work EXACTLY the way it did in 2.x, because the way they do it now we can't get a pixel for pixel watermark exactly where we had it in 2.x.
I'm guessing most of us had a fixed size watermark with transparent padding to push it away from the "edges" that it was set to, set to not scale so we had direct control over the WM's size.
Regardless of how you set it up now, it scales, and you have no control over how much. If I'd have wanted a buggy windows product that knew more about what I wanted to do than I did, I'd have bought Office 2008.

QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.

I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Looks like the update has wreaked havoc (who uses that expression nowadays, anyway?) on your PRAM settings. You can try and reset them: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

Clipboard export failed because the image is too wide to save as a PICT

Am I the only one who keeps getting this message in a new window,
"Clipboard export failed because the image is too wide to save as a PICT"
while working in Photoshop?
I know little about a PICT file, except that it's some kind of file.
Seems to pop up out of nowhere after I've been doing some copy/pasting.
The really annoying part: it never shows up while I'm still working in PS,
it's only after I click onto a folder or start working in another application.
THEN the message won't let me do anything with the folder or application,
but instead returns me to the PS screen for a few more seconds, then fades out.
It's only after the fade-out that I can click on a folder or use
another application.
I have plenty of RAM (50%) and backup drive space assigned to PS, and
again, this does not happen while still in a PS screen. Using Cache Level 6.

While I haven't seen that particular message, I have had the "clipboard is too large to export" message. What you need to do is go to the Photoshop preferences and tell it to NOT export the clipboard. You should be able to find it the General section of preferences, just UNcheck the box in front of "Export Clipboard"--of course, if you copy something in Photoshop that you want to paste into another program, you'll have to re-check it. But bear in mind the limits of Clipboard.

Save export presets?

I have looked everywhere and cannot find a way to save export presets I've created. I'm assuming these presets are stored somewhere. It's a huge hassle having to recreate the export presets when multiple people have image archiving duties, or if you do a new CS install. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm assuming these presets are stored somewhere.
On a Mac these preset are stored in the user library (by default hidden per OSX 10.7, if you don't see it use menu Go and press option key to reveal).
Here is the path:
User (Your name) / library/ Application support/ Adobe/ Bridge CS(xx)/ Export presets.
You can copy this for back Up and paste it in new set up same location and then they should show after restarting Bridge.
On Windows it might be the same route but a bit different starting location.

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.

Cannot Save Export Presets PPro CC2014 (also in AME CC2014)

I cannot save any export presets in Premiere CC 2014 (PPro CC 2014) or import any presets. Also applies to Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 (AME CC 2014).
When I go File > Export > Media (or ⌘E) and set my format and output specs, I cannot save the preset. The preset says "custom" and then I hit the "save preset" icon. Type a name in the "Choose Name" dialog box, then click OK. The "Choose Name" dialog box disappears, but nothing happens. The preset line still says "custom" and there is no preset file available to choose. The preset is not saved. Export works, but the settings must be manually entered each and every time.
I also cannot import any presets. Have .EPR files with presets that I've used in the past and NONE of them will import using the "import preset" icon.
The presets will also not import into AME CC 2014 via any method at all - icons, dragging/dropping, copying to various directories... cannot load them. I cannot add them to the user presets & groups at all, no matter what method I have tried. It's frustrating and becoming infuriating. I can create a "New Group" in the user presets and groups, but nothing can be added to the group. Clicking the + for "create new preset" does nothing - no window opens or appears. Clicking "import presets" opens the "import preset" dialog box and I can choose files and click open, but they do not import or appear anywhere withing AME CC 2014.
3.33 6-Core "Mid-2012" running OSX 10.9.4 with GTX 680 (official version) and 32GB RAM
Also see this discussion:
AME CC 2014: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."

This was not directly a permissions issue. Had checked that numerous times previously and applied settings to all enclosed items on every folder that was related. This workaround was attempted several times previously, but had not worked. Now, it's working.
Re: AME CC 2014: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."
I will say, what I did differently this time was trying to edit the Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.app via Show Package Contents before attempting to do any of this. Not sure if that's why it suddenly worked or not, but worth mentioning.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

Firefox won't save images or web pages, even after upgrading, reinstalling and resetting... How do I fix this?

A couple upgrades ago, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't boot properly. According to "Task Mgr.", it would load partially with a "*32" after it's name in the listing, but not enough to display a window on screen. After ending the process, and restarting the program again it would usually boot fully. (not always, but usually) The "*32" confuses me as I run a 64bit Windows 7 system and during installation I was sure that I saw mention of a 64bit program being installed. Apparently, after the last upgrade, that issue was resolved; but Task Mgr. still lists the program with a "*32" after it.
The issue now at hand is that Firefox won't save images online or save web pages. I'll right-click and select "save image as" or "save page as" and... nothing. No box appears prompting me to name a file or designate a location to save that file to. Nor does anything happen when I use the "File" menu for the same function either. This is, to say the least, is very frustrating. There may be other things not functioning that I'm not currently aware of, but I haven't been able to or had time to do a complete check of the functionality of the program. I've never had issues of any significance with Firefox in the past. It's always been very reliable for me, so I'm hoping there's a relatively quick fix that I simply haven't been made aware of yet...
Thank you for your suggestions and time looking into this matter...
Curtis Laipple

It probably will take a little time to work through this troubleshooting article, but hopefully you will get a complete solution: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
Regarding the *32, I see the same thing on Win 7 Pro x64. No worries. Firefox for Windows is compiled only as a 32-bit application.
