IPhoto 08 has more Photo Info than Aperture 2.1

When I examine the information in the Metadata Inspector of Aperture 2.1, it is missing information found in iPhoto 08: Exposure. iPhoto tells me that my picture was taken with Aperture priority in the Exposure section of the Photo Info window. Aperture tells me that the Exposure Mode was 0 and that Exposure bias was 0ev. In this case, iPhoto tells me more information about my pictures than Aperture. Can someone please explain why? My camera is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

I have tested the Exposure Program metadata with my Canon Rebel XT camera and this is what I have found out.
_Exposure Mode on Camera : Exposure Program Number in Aperture 2.1_
A-DEP : 0 - not defined
M - Manual : 1
Av - Aperture priority : 3
Tv - Shutter priority : 4
P - Program : 2
Auto : 2
Portrait : 7
Landscape : 8
Macro : 0 - not defined
Sports : 6
Night : 0 - not defined
No Flash : 0 - not defined
There are 3 modes that are not defined by Aperture. You can see the mode the picture was shot by reviewing the pictures on the camera, but it doesn't fully transfer to Aperture 2.1. Does anyone have an explanation for this.

  • IPhoto a 'more recent version' of Aperture?

    Hi,
    Sometimes I use Aperture if I want to edit and process my photographs. This means I use Aperture to access my iPhoto library. But sometimes Aperture says photos have been edited in a more recent version of Aperture. I'm using the most recent version of Aperture. If I go to the App app - it indicates that version is already installed.
    So the message must be referring to iPhoto as a more recent version of Aperture.  I'm at a stop in terms of how to deal with this message in terms of exactly what may happen to my photos going back and forth between iPhoto and Aperture.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Barb
    Aperture 3.51
    iPhoto 9.51

    If the message appeared when you were using Aperature it's probably Aperturte related.  You should ask in the Aperture forum. In iPhoto one would try repairing the library's database. Don't know how you'd do that in Aperture.
    If iPhoto is working with that library OK then ask how to rebuild with Aperture.

  • IPhoto 09 Gives Better Results than Aperture 2.0 on RAW

    I wanted to compare the results of Aperture 2.0 to iPhoto '09 on a RAW photo. To my chagrin, iPhoto had done a better job on the photo just by using the instant fix wizard and then one click on the color saturation effect.
    With Aperture, I imported the iPhoto library and made sure I was working on the "Original" RAW photo from that library. My workflow started with autoexposure, then the two auto levels (Luminance & RGB) by the histogram. I maxed the Sharpening in the RAW fine tuning.
    I tried tweaking the contrast, saturation, exposure and recovery. Nothing I can seem to do in Aperture can get the photo to look have the details as sharp and the colors as vibrant. iPhoto's automatic algorithms appear to be far superior to Aperture's auto exposure and auto levels of Luminance and RGB. Plus, it appears to do a better job than all the other controls will allow me to do manually.
    Has anyone else compared the two products side by side on the same photo and experienced the same?
    Thanks,
    Don

    Hmmmm,
    This is a meaningless comparison - If you cannot get the results you want in Ap then just use iPhoto and it's auto everything button and be happy. There is nothing magic going on in iPhoto, it uses the same CoreImage subroutines as Aperture for RAW interpretation prior to applying any of it's adjustments. One thing that the iPhoto auto functions will do is it will sacrifice more highlights and shadows detail than the Aperture auto levels will, you can set that in prefs if you like more contrast.
    RB
    Ps. the raw fine tuning sharpen slider will make virtually no visual difference, it is NOT for final output sharpening.

  • IPhoto has two photo streams

    Hi There,
    I have a rather strange problem with my iPhoto App.  It seems to have two photo streams in it (see the picture)
    When I look on my iPhone, I only see one photo stream on there.  The photo stream called Jan 2012 Photo Stream is empty and the original Photo Stream has all of the pictures in it that should be there.
    I want to get rid of the empty photo stream and just keep the original because I don't understand why it has all of a suddenly appeared. but I don't know how to do it.
    Can someone please help me out with instructions on how to get rid of it?  Or at the very least an explanation as to why I now how two Photo Streams
    Thanks
    Jason

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    You can both use the same Apple ID  - which is what my wife and I do

  • IPhoto has no photo in iPhoto library nor another album....empty folders...

    I don't know why what used to be working fine and now iPhoto library contains folder with no photo?!
    Would it be because I move the iPhoto library to my user/home folder?
    I have been shooting Raw and load into Bridge and save to album folder in iPhoto library in my home folder. I am also seeing Abobe Bridge cache bc. and bct. files populated every where. It just so confusing.
    Now, just want to set iPhoto right first. How can I get photo back in iPhoto library?
    I have used Diskwarrior and apple disk utility to try to fox it but no help.
    Help!

    vchen:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In moving that original iPhoto Library folder iPhoto could not find it the next time it was launched and created a new one. So launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, choose the Find option. Then navigate to the location of your original iPhoto folder and select it. Once you're back up and running with it you can delete the library folder that is in your Pictures folder. It will be the empty one.
    Do you Twango?

  • IOS 6.0.1 has more screen glitches than 6.0

    Updated to iOS 6.0.1 and now is experiencing more screen glitches compared to 6.0. Has anybody faced such problem?

    I 've updated 2 iPod touch 4th gen, iPhone 4S & 5 and iPad 3rd gen and I can't see what you are seeing.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.

  • IPhoto has no photos

    Each time I open iPhoto, all I get is the menu bar across the top. No window of photos. Nothing else. And all of the functions are grayed out when I pull down the top menu items. I have tried to hold every key combination I could think of down while opening to get it to rebuild the library, and it's unresponsive. It's v9.6 and I'm running Yosemite.

    First  give this a  try:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    If this fails continue with:
    Open the iPhoto Library package with the  Finder as shown in this screenshot
    locate the Masters folder and check inside to see if the original files are there. If the folder is empty you need to restore your latest backup copy made prior to this happening.
    If the original files are in the Masters folder you'll need to do the following:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • My iPhoto has 3500 photos and uses 7.2 gigs. When I load iPhoto it color wheel forever.Must I archive photos to fix this?

    See topic heading

    As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does'nt give this a try: Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Iphoto has a photo not on I pad

    I am not that familar with the icloud and took a workshop 2 times to understand. But here is my question... I have a macbook at home and a photo in Iphoto. If I am out with friends an do not have that that device, but do have my phone or I pad can I bring it to that device I have and show my friend

    No, you'd need to add the photos to photo stream before you went out.

  • IMovie freezes (hangs) when iPhoto has many photos

    Hello, all. I just switched to Mac from Windows only a week ago, but I'm already frustrated that I'm facing a problem with the software that I always wanted to use.
    iMovie hangs and does not even start. I have iPhoto with about 40gb of photos. When I delete the iPhoto library, iMovie runs fine. But once I have the library back in iPhoto, it hangs. one day, I left it for 6 hours but it never ran.
    Can someone help me on this issue? I already did reinstallation of Leopard and iLife package.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forum.
    I can't be sure but I doubt the amount of photos you have in iphoto is all that relevant, what I suspect might be is the video files you have in iphoto. If any of the video files in iphoto are not of an editable format supported by imovie you may well have trouble opening the application

  • Using Face Tagging and need more photo info

    I have PSE 4.
    I'm using the Face Tagging feature of Organizer.
    For some of the faces I need to get a better look at the entire photo in order to identify who the face is. Is there a way that I can get a bigger thumbnail? Or even better is there a way to identify the image where the face came from? The thumbnail that pops up in the lower right hand corner of the screen doesn't seem to allow anything to be done with it. If I could just get the name of the file, that would be fine. Any ideas?

    fwiw, the reason I need help with these faces is that I'm working on a set of old (1920/1930) photos. A lot of faces of people I've never met. Plus baby pictures. I have text descriptions of who the people are at the bottom of the photos. So when I see the face I need to be able to look at the photo and that text to properly tag it.
    Is there any way that the Face Finder can 'organize' the faces so that similar faces are kept together? That would make tagging them easier. I noticed that the Find by Visual Similarity function rates the selected photos with a percentage grade so there must be some technology that can compare two images and figure out how closely related they are to each other.

  • What is this icon?  And wifes phone has more bars

    My wife and I just got two new iphones 3GS. Bought at the same time from the same place. At home, her phone has more strength bars than mine, sometimes by two bars. Any ideas why this would be? They have the exact same covers and are the same phone.
    Also, she has an icon that I can't figure out what it is. It is in the upper right next to the battery power icon, and looks sort of like a telephone handle with some dots underneath it. Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

    "At home, her phone has more strength bars than mine, sometimes by two bars. Any ideas why this would be? They have the exact same covers and are the same phone. "
    Who knows? Not uncommon with any phone. Can you both make phone calls? If so, what does it matter how many bars are displayed?
    "she has an icon that I can't figure out what it is. It is in the upper right next to the battery power icon, and looks sort of like a telephone handle with some dots underneath it. Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated."

  • I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto.  Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

    Panoramic photos. I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto.  Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

    Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo
      for example

  • My iPhoto doesnt allow me to place more photos, says that the space is full but my mac book pro is new (less than 2 weeks) and I only got 500 photos, what should I do?? the computer is almost empty

    My iPhoto doesnt allow me to place more photos, says that the space is full but my mac book pro is new (less than 2 weeks) and I only got 500 photos, what should I do?? the computer is almost empty

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
