Images adjusted in Aperture 3, exported as JPEG printing dark.

I have been exporting JPEG files to a professional print vendor and the prints I receive back are much darker than the images I am seeing in Aperture 3. On my screen, the Masters and Versions look great. The prints I get back look under exposed. I have friends who use this same print vendor with no problems adjusting their images in Lightroom. I have tried adjusting my display, through System Preferences to SRGB. no luck. I also created an export preset to adjust the print size to 8x10, that hasn't worked for me either.... Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

You do need to adjust your display... in fact you need to calibrate your display.
The #1 cause of "prints too dark" is "monitor too bright." You need a setting in the 100-120 Cd/m^2 for your monitor. And there's really no way to get that without actually measuring it, using a hardware calibrator. Alternately you could try reducing your monitor to 50% brightness and see what you get, but it's sort of a waste... if you care about results, a hardware calibrator is the only option that's workable.

My Nikon D7000 obtains 14 bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

My Nikon D7000 obtains 14-bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

I am pretty sure ( ) that Aperture has had a 16-bit color workflow for several years.
Here is a printing hint from the User Manual:
Use a printer that supports 16-bit printing: If the image you’re printing is a high-resolution 16-bit file, using a printer that supports 16-bit printing results in smoother gradations.

Why are jpegs printing dark from InDesign?

When I create documents with jpegs, they print very dark from InDesign CS5.5. When I print the jpeg from my desktop, it comes out exactly as it appears on my monitor.
I'm sure there is a setting that I need to change, but I'm not sure what it could be.

OK. That's a start.
If you go to Edit > Color Settings... Does the dialog say they are sychronized? If not, you should do the same in Photoshop and make note of what the settings are, then in Bridge go to Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings and reset them there to the ones from Photoshop, then go back to your InDesign File and go to Edit > Assign Profiles... and assign the smae RGB and CMYK profiles listed for the color settings in Photoshop.
That should give you the same output, but there's still one more place to check. In the Print dialog, under Output, reset the Send Data field to All.

Exporting to jpeg with grayscale images on the page crashes Indesign

Hi,
I have noticed a bug in Indesign CS4.
When I have grayscale psd images on a page the export to jpeg crashes.
- R

That's been happening to me too, but I didn't realize it was just the grayscale .psd causing it, since I never use the feature in the real world and was only trying to confirm a posted behavior.

IPTC on export to jpeg screwy

OK, I import some RAW images, add some captions, then export to jpeg. I then open the image in Graphic Converter, and the for the images I have added a caption to, GC says there are two caption fields! One is the caption I added and the other is the IFD0 field calle "ImageDescription" and is set to: "KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA". If I don't enter a caption, the caption is set to "KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA".
Worse, when importing into Gallery2 the IPTC information is not imported. I'm not the only one with the issue.
If I save the file in GC and then import into Gallery2 it works great.
THis all just leads me to believe that Aperture (1.1.2) is not exporting the IPTC info correctly. Your thoughts?

>The problem is the difference between my workspace (lightroom) and the resulting JPEG (lightroom export). All my JPEG-exports from lightroom have more red than the version in lightroom.
If you are really exporting to sRGB jpegs (again, shooting in sRGB mode on your camera has NO impact on the RAW files - check whether the export settings in Lightroom are set to sRGB!), there are usually several possible causes for the redshift.
1. Your screen calibration is bad. This is very common and the fix is usually trashing the monitor profile and creating a new one. A common issue is bad monitor profiles supplied by monitor vendors.
2. You are using a wide gamut monitor such as an Eizo, one of the Dell HC screens, etc., and are viewing the exports in unmanaged apps. If you have a monitor that has a gamut significantly different from sRGB, you cannot use unmanaged apps, such as Internet explorer or Firefox 2.0 (basically every windows app except for Vista picture viewer basically), to judge color of your images. You need to use color managed apps, such as Safari, Photoshop, etc. to judge the color. Viewing sRGB images in unmanaged apps on such a screen will make your image appear oversaturated.
3. You are using a dual monitor setup and the OS is confused which profile belongs to which screen. Especially on windows, it is often not possible to really correct for two different screens even if the software tells you it does. This can be hard to diagnose, but usually it just takes plugging out one monitor and recalibrating the one that is still connected.
In conclusion, If you have a typical normal-gamut monitor and you have calibrated correctly, you should see almost NO shift when exporting to sRGB jpegs and viewing in unmanaged apps. The images should look identical in apps that are managed.

Export unedited JPEG of a RAW image in LR4?

Other than the obvious to export images before I edit them, or duplicating and removing all alterations after selecting and editing I don't see an easy way to do this in LightRoom. In Aperture I would select Export Original Photo, and then choose JPEG as format. It appears to me that the only Export Original Photo option in LightRoom will do just that...export a true original - meaning in RAW format. Not helpful. I need to export JPEGs of my final selects, both in the edited form, and in the original unedited form as JPEGs. Am I missing something?
On another similar note, is there any way to see the switch between the original unedited photo and the edited photo?Meaning true original, pre crop / rotation and all? Love the option to see just the other adjustments, but I often would like to see what my crop has done as well to the image quickly. Aperture had a true "Original Master" viewing capability.
Other than these two things, I am loving the transition to LightRoom! So superior in almost every other way, but these are simple things that seem so obvious.
Thanks!

Not having used Aperture—I’m on a PC—I’ve never wanted to export all my picks as Adobe-Default-Settings JPGs; however, I subscribe to the PS+LR photographers bundle for $10/month, and can easily do what you’re talking about using LR and PS:
To get the Adobe default version of each LR pick I would:
Export Originals from LR for all these picks to their own folder.
Delete all the XMP files in that folder using an OS-level file function, in my case Explorer then sort by extension.
Open that folder in Bridge.
Select all and open in Camera Raw.
Select all in ACR and use the Save Image button to create default-setting JPGs.
For looking at the original uncropped version of something I’d go into Before-After mode, swap before and after, then turn it to single mode, again (with the Before image as the current view) then turn on the Crop box to see the entire extent of the image. If the Before version isn’t the initial one, after swapping it to After, I could click Reset to get the very first version of it.
To make this work you’d have to swap go back to Before-After mode and swap things back so the After image is back as the current version.

Aperture and export JPEG profiling

I've heard on a photo forum I go to regularly that there's some issue (at least to me it sounds like one) when JPEGs are exported out of Aperture.
Apparently the only way Aperture knows to do that is to assign a profile to exported file. Meaning that if the file is viewed through a software (Safari) which understands profiles, all is well, but if a software has no clue what a profile is than the images look rather flat and way different than when viewed in Aperture prior to export.
I am not using Aperture myself yet, but hope to get clarification on this as it just doesn't sound right that as good app as Aperture is would omit such a functionality especially considering Safari being the only color managed browser right now (maybe there's some other I am not aware of, but IE6 and firefox are not to my knowledge).
I agree that this is rather a flaw of all the other companies who were not yet been able to make their application color managed therefore not a flaw of Aperture. But the reality is that most people are not able to guarantee that their pictures will be only viewed through Safari.
Thanks for your response.
Regards
Marek

Whenever Aperture exports a JPEG it doesn't just tag the output file with an ICC profile it also converts the RGB values accordingly. In other words, an image viewer can use the embedded ICC profile as a recipe for interpreting the RGB values in the file.
If you want to export for viewers that aren't colour space aware the best bet is using sRGB as your export profile. This (or something close) is what most "colour blind" web browsers assume when they render an image file.
Unfortunately, colour space aware browsers are few and far in between. This was the only reason for me to ditch my beloved Firefox and switch to Safari.
BTW, if you don't have Aperture but want to experiment with colour spaces and conversions, ColorSync Utility can be hours of fun. It presumably (most likely) uses the same routines for colour management that Aperture uses.

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

Aperture 3 - Exporting Photos Results in Black Images

Hi --
I'm currently having issues exporting images from my Aperture library (whether thru the Export menu command, or thru the auto-uploading feature [like Flickr]). Whenever I export images -- they result in totally black photos. I've tried exporting in other formats (JPEG, TIFF, etc.) with the same results. Only if I export the Original can I get the photos out of Aperture.
I switched to another library to see if it was having the same issue -- it was not. I've repaired permissions and repaired the database -- still having the same issue. Does this indicate a corrupted Library? Should I try the (ominous sounding, according to the documentation) "Rebuild Database" option -- or should I try to create a new libary with the same images to see if that fixes things?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I've yet to find any other users with a similar problem. Been using Aperture for years without issues -- this is the first major problem I've encountered.
Thanks.

That does indeed look like something may be wrong with your library.
Should I try the (ominous sounding, according to the documentation) "Rebuild Database" option -- or should I try to create a new libary with the same images to see if that fixes things?
If you create a new library with the existing images, you will have to start over and redo all your edits.
Try first to rebuil the library. That will create new database files inside. But make sure that you have a backup of your library, before you try a rebuild, just in case.
Have you checked the "Export preset" that you are using, if anything can turn the images black: set the preset to "edit" and look at the options, i.e. color profile or watermark.

How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

[CS2 AS] Export as Jpeg... image missing in the output.

Hi,
I'm using alot the export as jpeg feature as a validation helper while doing batch processing (for quality output, i have used export as pdf and rasterisation in photoshop... require more processing, but it give more reliable output).
So with the base export, i'm having a odd problem where on other machine the some images are not exported appropriately (some appear with a white strippe and other completely blank).
I have not found documentation on this but i'm pretty sure that the export is done from a low-res preview, so i suspect that that my script processing make the export before indesign has completed some document display refresh.
I tought that i could use a arbitrary delay, but i find this solution quite inconvenient as it make the process slower and not completely deterministic.
Is there a equivalent call to "recompose" that would let me be sure to call the export when the display refresh of the document is done? (if i remember well, i have tried forcing the document quality display to maximum).
Thanks for any ideas! :)
Eric

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

Yes
I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

IPhoto-edited images exported to JPEG & copied to DropBox don't open

I know this is a permissions issue, but I can't figure it out.
Images I have edited in iPhoto and export to JPEG cannot be copied to another user's DropBox on another Mac on my network. He can't see or open the images. Copying files that were in iPhoto but not edited CAN be opened.
Tried playing with the permissions settings of the DropBox folder and the Public folder to no avail.
Tried copying the same file to a different user's directory on the same 2nd Mac after authenticating as that user (rather than as Guest for the DropBox) and the file copies OK.
Trying to get this user's Mac's public folder set up so I can send him pics, but it is not working, and I can't figure this out!

Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
*There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

What problem?
You will have to be _a lot_ more specific if you'd like responsible feedback.
I export thousands of TIFF and JPG files a week with no obvious faults.
