Inputting into Aperture from a CF cardse

When inputting I use New Project and automatically split projects and do not import duplicates. I do not delete originals from my 32GB Lexar UDMA 7 800x CF card as it is plenty large enough to hold several weeks photos (another backup just in case). I only bought such a large CF card to take video but I'm struggling with the focus on that but that's another story!
This automatically allocates the Project name 2013, Jan 27 and one Project name for each day's shooting. I then drag these to the year folder Negs 2013. Trouble is I prefer to see Projects in date order and find renaming thm to 2013_01_27 is the best way to do this. Yes I know I can sort by date but this then messes up my Folder orders.
Is it posible to alter the default Project name when downloads multiple days work and still retain a date formate yyyy_mm_dd?

Is it posible to alter the default Project name when downloads multiple days work and still retain a date formate yyyy_mm_dd?
No it is not possible to alter the project name in Aperture.This can be done with an Applesscript that is run by Aperture when it imports.
My library is setup by Year, Month and day with Year and month being folders and day being a project with images shot on that day.

RAW NEF files imported into Aperture from a Nikon D70 are dark

I imported one roll of images straight from the CF card from my Nikon D70 into Aperture.
I also imported them into Nikon PictureProject. (the current application I use)
All the NEF's in Aperture are darker than the NEF's in PictureProject. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Also, any NEF that I have previously edited and saved in Nikon Capture Editor, do not display any of the changes when imported into Aperture. Interesting that the Finder shows the thumbnail correctly. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks, Scott K.

I've imported a few of the NEF files I've gotten from my D2X, and for the most part, they look fine. A little darker than when displayed in Adobe Bridge and ACR, but not that much darker. This is probably just the way the image converter is interpreting the RAW data. A couple of minor levels adjustments for me, and they look fine.
As for Aperture not "seeing" the changes made to a RAW file in Nikon Capture. That may be due to the way Capture applies its changes to the file. If when you make a change, Capture simply adds the adjustments to a side car file, etc., and doesn't change the original RAW file (which it should never do), then Aperture is only reading the original RAW data. The side car info is not understood by Aperture. At least not now.
This is pretty much the same way ACR works.

I cannot download photos in raw and jpeg into aperture from canon 5d mark111

I cannot load photos from canon5d mark3 into aperture in raw and jpeg, any ideas?

Don't believe the RAW's from that camera are supported yet. See OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats

Import keywords and ratings into Aperture from adobe apps?

Hi,
I'm currently using adobe bridge/ps2/pse etc as my main apps. I use keywords and ratings extensively.
When I import my photos into aperture, will I also be able to keep my current ratings/keyword tagging?
Thanks.

I also used Bridge/ACR to rate and add keywords to RAWS (Canon) and also used Adobe DNG converter to make DNG files from these.
No ratings or keywords have imported for any RAWs and DNGs. And, for some DNG files (which I can see in Bridge and iViewMedia), they cannot be displayed in Aperture. It's very strange since I've used the same workflow to create the DNG files over the past year. Some can be imported/viewed, some cannot be viewed. All originally from the same camera/RAW file. I've read in this forum that Aperture cannot read things like keywords from sidecar files.
I am hopeful that Apple will make DNG sidecar file import a big priority.

Can't imoprt images into Aperture from CF card

I have just installed Aperture into my Mac Book Pro. I connected my card reader (with compact flash card) to a usb port which opened Aperture. I selected "import images" and Aperture correctly identifies my camera (Canon 5D) and CF reader, but displays "No images to import. Yet I am able to import these same image files (RAW) into iPhoto or Adobe Bridge with no problem. I have deleted & re-installed Aperture with the same results. Help!

This post was a couple weeks ago and the original poster may have found a solution already. But, I'm posting to offer a different explanation for others that may have the same problem.
When I get the "No images to import", it is because Aperture is not done scanning the CF card. Some cards apparently take longer to scan, especially the larger cards. I had never seen this error before I bought larger CF cards. Compact Flash cards that are 2GB-4GB never give me this problem as the cards are scanned quickly.
I usually go do something else and come back. I don't think it has taken more than a couple minutes before the "No images to import" button changes to reflect the number of images on the card and enabled. My largest CF is 16GB. If you have something larger, I would probably give it 5-10 minutes.
Hope this helps someone.

Moving "Faces" only data into Aperture from iPhoto

Just starting out with Aperture 3. Don't want to migrate my iPhoto library to my new Aperture library and clutter everything up. BUT, I do want to have it all the Faces data imported so that any new photos I import will be tagged appropriately. Is there a way I can do this?
Thanks,
Steve

There's no way to move just metadata from iPhoto to Aperture. Its the images or nothing.

Can you import into Aperture from the IPhoto library on Time Machine?

Having size problems with huge IPhoto library. Would like to install Aperture and import from iPhoto library backup on Time Machine HD but would like to know before I purchase Aperature.

No replies so I purchased Aperture and attempted to import from Aperture. Could not do it. Very disappointing.

Import 800K photos (many duplicates) into Aperture from multiple folders in one hard drive.

I have a hard drive with 800,000+ photos in it, many are duplicates after I have made multiple back-ups to different drives over the years and then transferred all the photos to this new drive. The photos are located in different folders but are all in the same hard-drive. How do a import the photos in the easiest/fastest way? How will they get sorted, by date? Is there anyway that I could delete the duplicates without losing photos? I have many photos with the same file name (but from different cameras), tumbnails, edited photos etc.
Very thankful for your assistance!

Hi,
You can import photos from multiple folders.
Just click File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files and Folders
Now select the folders you want to import photos from (they should be at same level in the directory, say all folders in My Pictures) using Ctrl+Click, tick the checkbox for 'Get Photos from subfolders' if not already checked and then click 'Get Media'.
Hope that will help
Thanks

Drag an image from desktop into Aperture

I can't drag an image into Aperture from my desktop. It just comes back to the desktop. Is there something I'm missing? Do I use import for one image?

Where are you dragging to?
You can't drag to the smart albums. Drag directly into a project or to the Aperture icon in the Dock.
Do I use import for one image?
That is better, if you need preset to be applied when importing, for example Time Zone correction.

TS5192 After updating with 4.09 my photos which I store on an external hard drive will load into Aperture for 15 or so photos and then I just get the same photo repeating despite clicking on a different one in the group. I have to stop working and come b

After installing the 4.09 fix to process RAW from Sony RX100 (after updating to 3.5.1), photos do not continue to load into Aperture from the external hard drive where they are referenced. The same photo is stuck in the adjustments frame to be worked on and the photos will not advance, no matter what I try, so i can work on the next one. I can only work on a few at a time and then i have to go away and come back another day. 4.09 does fix the barrel distortion but it has completely gummed up the uploading of the referenced photos. It's taking me days and weeks to process a couple of hundred photos.

The Macbook Air is a low end Macintosh for graphics apps and you are asking it to perform a heavy pro workflow using a pro application. The integrated GPU of MBAs is a serious limiter to heavy graphics. Personally I would expect flaky performance with certain operations. In general I recommend that Aperture users choose boxes with independent GPUs and capable of taking 16 GB RAM if necessary.
It will be important to carefully optimize workflow. How much RAM is in the MBA? The most Apple specs is 8 GB but you can check OWC to see if you can go to 16 GB. My Aperture/Photoshop workflow paged out at 8 GB RAM before I upgraded to 16 GB RAM.
You should evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM:
Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture/Photoshop work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working for a few hours and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved.
Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor because they can be misleading regarding RAM usage. For RAM analysis, manually count page outs before and after a work session.

HT3805 Trouble importing into Aperture form Memory Card

Coincidentally or not, after installing Mountain Lion, I am no longer able to import photos into Aperture from a USB connected memory card - the card does not appear in the Import Window any longer - has the method for this process changed or is it a bug?

Do you have Aperture 3.3.2? Are you trying to import raw images?
Does the card appear as external drive in the "Devices" section of the Finder's sidebar? And can you import from the Card in other applications, like Image Capture or iPhoto?

Duplicates when Importing into Aperture

When I import photos into aperture from either my camera or computer, it imports 2 copies of each photo. How can I get it only import 1 copy?

That is definitely not normal behavior unless you are shooting both RAW+JPG and importing them both asseparate masters.
What are your settings in the Aperture import window, especially the setting for RAW + JPEG Pairs?

Importing into Aperture 3 from iPhoto as referenced files

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything this topic...
I've just upgraded to Aperture 3. In Aperture 2, my way of working was to store RAW images in iPhoto and import as referenced files into Aperture. This was very straightforward. Now, I have 2 problems:
1 - I can't see how to import referenced images from iPhoto. If I use the import command, my iPhoto images don't show up in the list of locations to import from; if I use the iPhoto browser in Aperture and drag from that, it imports the file into the Aperture library rather than importing as a referenced file...
2 - If I import using the iPhoto browser, not only does it import into the Aperture library, it imports the jpeg preview rather than the RAW file.
The only way I can see to get the RAW file into Aperture is to find it in the Finder then import into the Aperture library. This seems excessively long-winded and also duplicates the file, using up extra disk space.
I'm using Aperture 3.0.1 and iPhoto 7.1.5
Thanks in advance for your input

I have not imported an iPhoto library because my workflow is to to use Aperture for storing and archiving Raw files and iPhoto for exported jpegs.
However the instruction in the Aperture 3 PDF Manual are as follows:-
To import your iPhoto library
Choose File > Import > iPhoto Library.
Select the iPhoto library in the dialog that appears.
Choose a location for the imported images by doing one of the following:
• To store imported masters in the Aperture library: Choose “In the Aperture Library” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
• To import the files as referenced images stored in their current location on your hard disk: Choose “In their current location” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
Tip: Choosing“Intheircurrentlocation”isrecommended.Whenyouchoosethisoption, Aperture refers to the original files in their current location and does not have to duplicate the files, which doubles the disk space needed to store the files. For more information about referenced images, see What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
• To store imported masters as referenced images in the Pictures folder on your hard disk: Choose Pictures from the Store Files pop-up menu.
• To store imported masters as referenced images in a location other than the Pictures folder: Choose “Choose” from the Store Files pop-up menu and select a folder. Choose “No folder” from the Subfolders pop-up menu to specify that the files be stored as separate, individual files in the selected folder. You can also specify that Aperture create a hierarchy of subfolders with specific folder names to hold your files.

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

Can't import single images or folders from iPhoto 6.0.2 into Aperture 1.1

Hi everbody:
After the Aperture 1.1 update, I can no longer import folders or single images from my iPhoto 6.0.2 library into Aperture. When I click "File" - "Import" - "Files and folders", I can browse through the iPhoto library and see all my film rolls and albums, but when I click on any album, no images are displayed and the status line in Aperture says "No images to import". In iPhoto, images are imported into the iPhoto library, not just aliases.
Even after a clean re-installation of Mac OS X (not just archive and install), installing all system updates (10.4.6) and a clean re-install of Aperture with the updates to 1.1, I still have the same problem. I also let iPhoto rebuild it's library. It still doesn't work.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks for your help.

20-inch iMac G5 2.1GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.5 GB RAM

This is the result of a bug that will be addressed in an update to be released in the very near future. Rest assured that iPhoto import will start working correctly soon.
