IPhoto import: does Aperture import Original and Edited, or just Edited?

If you edit an image in iPhoto, iPhoto creates a copy of the image and stores the original in its own folder. Further edits are on the copy.
When Aperture imports from iPhoto, does it import the Original, the Edited image, or both?
My hunch is it imports the Edited image, and the Original will be lost. Love to know for sure!

When you import you'll get a stack for any image that
you have edited in iPhoto. Your edited photo will be
on top with the master behind it.
This is excellent news. With all the bad news about Aperture I'd feared the worst.

  • HT4007 Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    If the camera is listed here OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats or here Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats then the raw image file is supported by Aperture.
    If the camera is not listed then as Keith wrote if it produces JPG's they can be imported into Aperture.
    If you told us what camera you were interested in it might help.

  • Does Aperture import movies? If so, can I use Aperture to edit them?

    iPhoto allowed me to organize video as well as photos. Does Aperture have that capability? If so, can I also use Aperture to edit videos? If not, does that editing have to occur in iMovie?

    See  Aperture 3: About Video and Audio formats in Aperture but notice the top of the document it says this is an example of some supported formats so if your's isn't listed it still Aperture still might import it.

  • Import from iPhoto: how does Aperture manage videos?

    This is relevant to some persons migrating from iPhoto to Aperture. My iPhoto Library contains a few small camera videos. I know Aperture doesn't handle these. When it does the import into Aperture, does it let the user know that there are some files it can't handle? Does it make it easy for someone to discard their iPhoto Library without losing the videos?

    So someone who wished to dump their iPhoto Library after migrating to Aperture, might unwittingly lose videos they'd forgotten about -- they have to know to search for the videos and set them aside. Aperture does not help avoid that error.
    (I saw your note on needing to keep iPhoto. It's true that one may use iPhoto for its many unique secondary services, but keeping two libraries of the same images is ridiculously inefficient.)
    I've long been tempted to migrate to Aperture, but the inability to change 'image acquired' dates, concerns about how trustworthy the iPhoto migration really is, and Aperture's lack of official support for the MacBook have all held me back.
    This lack of attention to detail wrt to iPhoto import reinforces the sense I have that Aperture isn't where I personally need it to be (not that iPhoto is perfect, but that's the devil I know). I know it works well for many others and I may yet migrate --- probably in a year or two and then only if they decide to support the MacBook.

  • IPhoto 11 does not import my MP4

    hi
    dunno if anyone of you are still encountering this issue with iPhoto simply making an error message when trying to import MP4.
    Before iPhoto 11, i have no problems at all.
    I am trying to import MP4 movie taking on my SONY Alpha 55.
    Please help.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • Updated iphoto library does not import to iphoto 9.6?

    Hello,
    I recently updated to Yosemite on my MBP and I'm having trouble uploading my iphoto library to the new iphoto 9.6. I have my iphoto library on an external hard drive and I did install and run the iphoto upgrader programand it says that my iphoto library has been updated. I tried holding down alt/option key while I open iphoto to select my iphoto library and still no photos load. The image below is what my iphoto looks like. I hope I didn't lose any photos.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Sara

    iPhoto version 9.6
    External Hard drive format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    It is connected by usb
    Thanks!

  • WSDL import does not import my schema file

    I have a local WSDL that imports a schema. When I create a new partner link, I get the dialogue box that tells me it has to make a local copy. It makes the local copy. It still refers to my schema import (which has a relative path) but it does not move the schema as well.
    Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    This is not exactly the behavior I am seeing.
    This is what I see: Lets say that I have a WSDL file that resides in c:\mywsdls\pp-wsif.wsdl. It has an import statement in my wsdl for the schema types that is relative (../schema/schema.xsd). Lets also assume that my BPEL process project resides in c:\<BPEL_HOME>\mywork\bpelproj.
    When I go to create a partner link using my local wsdl file, two wsdl files show up in my BPEL project. One is an exact copy of pp-wisf.wsdl and one is the pp-wisfRef.wsdl. The pp-wisfRef.wsdl has the partner link stuff and it also references the wsdl in c:\<BPEL_HOME>\mywork\bpelproj, not my original wsdl.
    Now is when my problem comes up. the "new" pp-wisf.wsdl file still has that import with a relative path. But, since the wsdl file got moved and the xsd did not that relative path is no longer valid. Thus, my origial problem.
    There is an obvious work around to edit my wsdls to fix the paths but I am wondorering if I am doing something wrong or if this is in fact a bug.

  • Biar file import does not import any repository object

    Hi,
    I have extracted a Biar file from Business Objects Enterprise XI 2.0 Server and it has size 20 MB. When I import this file into another Server using Import Wizard which has Business Objects Enterprise XI 2.0, the outcome is unfavorable. Inspite of both the source and target system being on same enterprise version (11.5.8.1111) plus both on Service Pack 2 Fix Pack 2.7, the repository objects log within the Import Wizard shows 0 objects imported.
    What is the remedy to this situation ?

    Hello,
    Not really that I know of.
    Well this is a big problem since we can not export projects easaly between different computers. Or back to the same computer using this metod insted of the whole project fils and associated files.
    Also there might be a problem exporting to different editing programs as Premiere.
    And Apple do not seem to bother. We have to try to solve problems like this in forums and searching for answers and plugins for hours.
    This i think will make us to leave final cut as editing software.
    Also this version of final cut x - apart from final cut 7 does not seem to be able to export audio in a proper way.
    Especially the audio that can be a little bit lika a worms nest seems to be impossible to export with all or most of the options left. It wants to put everything together in mixes audio tracks.

  • WHY DOES APERTURE KEEP FREEZING AND CRASHING?

    I can't work on more than 3 or 4 images before Aperture either freezes up or it crashes….What is going on?  Would it be helpful to uninstall it and reinstall?

  • How do I import an old iphoto library from an external hard disk while keeping my editing and organization in tact?

    I am running iPhoto '08 on a MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel C2D (MacBook Pro 3,1). I backed up my hard drive contents onto an external hard drive, then formatted my computer and installed Mountain Lion. I then re-installed iPhoto '08 and ran all the updates. Now, I would like to import my old library from the external disk onto my computer without losing my editing and organization; however, when I select "import to library" from iPhoto, the old iPhoto library is not a selectable option.
    I know how to "show package contents" and import directly from the Original and Modified folders, but I don't want to lose my organization. Can I simply drag the content of those folders into my new Original and Modified folders? Will iPhoto read that correctly?
    I tried to open the old library from the external disk, thinking to export them all to a folder and import from there, but that just opened my new library and none of the old photos were imported or available.
    I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate any help you guys can give. Thanks!!

    You don't import it.
    Just drag the iphoto Library from the external to the Pictures Folder.
    Then open it:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.

  • Will Aperture Import Metadata from Windows?

    I have been using Windws Live Photo Gallery to edit and organize a library of about 100k JPGs.  I have added faces, GPS, Keywords, ratings, and captions to the pitcures.  All of this information is stored in the metadata of each picture.
    I have used iPhoto in the past and would like to move back to my Mac for editing/organizing my library.  If my memory is correct, iPhoto only really imprts the keywords and GPS data, not the ratings or captions.
    Does Aperture import more of the metadata?  
    Also, does Aperture support expoting the metadata (Keywords, Ratings, GPS) to the file?  I seem to recall iphoto allows you to export the keywords and GPS, but not the ratings.
    I was thinking that if iPhoto nor Aperture does not import/export ratings, I could do a work around by selecting my photos by rating and then just add keywords based on those ratings. (one-star, two-star, etc).  I could then do a reverse process in Aperture/iPhoto... Select the keywords and then give the photos the ratings.
    Am I making any sense?

    BTW, I am using an older 27" iMac i7 with 8GB... Need to update my profile.

    Hi Mike.  I don't know the answer to your larger question (though you might try with a few images and see what you get).  I do know that what you propose here:

    works, and works well.  I have done this a few times (for ratings as well as for color labels and for other groupings).  In practice, it goes quickly.  Every "tag" of information that you can translate to a keyword will be preserved, and within the limits of the "moving to" software can be re-assigned.
    (Don't get fancy with a keyword outline, though: Aperture flattens any keyword outline on import and leaves you with a simple single-level list of keywords.  You can't group your keywords, but with clever naming: e.g. "StarOne", "StarTwo", "StarThree", you can at least have these show next to each other in an alpha-sorted list.  Similarly, "ColorRed", "ColorBlue", etc.  Although I've not seen any problems recently, I still avoid non alpha-numeric characters, including {space}.)

  • How can I merge original and modified folders in iphoto library?

    I see 2 folders within iPhoto library - originial and modified. Original folder keeps all pictures in original and modified has the edited version for picture I edit. So iPhoto basically keeps 2 version for any picture I modify, which takes a lot of space.
    I would like to have just one copy for each picture (original picture or only modified version of the picture if I edit) - this way I think I would save a lot of memory. Could someone please advise
    1. if there is any iPhoto settings that I change, so that it starts saving only 1 copy for each picture
    2. If I could something with my already existing pictures - i.e. if there is a way I can delete "original" version of only those pictures for which "modified" version is available.
    Let me know if anything is not clear or you need any more information. Thanks in advance.

    Don't use iPhoto.
    Iphoto is a Digital Asset Manager designed to protect your original file at all costs. In other words it treats the original like a film shooter treats the negative. This is hard-wired into iPhoto, it's the very heart of the programme. If you don't want that feature, don't use iPhoto/
    Note that there are different versions of the photo, they are not copies. The Original is required for the Non-Destructive editing feature in iPhoto.
    So, specifically, no you cannot merge the two folders - and by the way, doing so won't save any memory at all, just some diks space.
    1. if there is any iPhoto settings that I change, so that it starts saving only 1 copy for each picture
    There isn't.
    2. If I could something with my already existing pictures - i.e. if there is a way I can delete "original" version of only those pictures for which "modified" version is available.
    There isn't.
    If space is an issue: use an external drive for the Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Or, just use an app that works the way you want.

  • Metadata written in Bridge partly not imported in Aperture

    Just bought Aperture and use it on a new MacBookPro 2.4. Started to import a project with files which had metadata ( captions, keywords etc.) written in Adobe Bridge about two years ago. Aperture imported the files but about one third of the pictures does not show captions anymore. Opening the same pictures in Bridge shows that there are still captions and keywords.
    What could be the reason?

    Thanks a lot. That was the first post of my life and I got help with a problem which Apple-Professional-Care was not able to give. But I still have a question. I understand that captions in a RAW-file are not imported into the Aperture library. Captions written with Bridge into a JPG-file are imported. Okay so far! But what about TIFF-files (I do not mean the tif-files (CANONS RAW-files of the EOS 1ds) I mean real uncompressed TIFF-files. Why does Aperture import captions of some of those files and others not. For example I have pictures which are just slide variations of a subject, which were taken within seconds of each other and both turned into a TIFF-file and then captioned and keyworded. There was no difference in working with these pictures before they were captioned.
    Nevertheless some files were imported with captions and ohters were not.
    That makes me a bit reluctand to use Aperture. I scanned more then 20 years of work for the worlds mayor maganzines and have started to caption them two years ago with bridge after trying to caption them with "Fotostation" which was used by STERN-magazine in Germany, my mayor customer at that time. All of a sudden captions written with this software did not show anymore with Photoshop because Adobe changed something with Photoshop. I promised my self never ever to use another software than that of the marketleader to be sure not to do that painstaking work anymore of captioning old stories.
    That is why I am hesitating now although I believe Apple -software will not give me the same problems. Most pictureeditors and customers use Photoshop or another Adobe software. So I want to be sure, that my pictures will always be able to show captions in any Adobe software in the future.
    What I like with Apple is the lighttable-mode. It is like handling hundreds of slides on my good old fashoned lighttable. Also the vault system is important for me to safe and backup the daily work of my assistant and me in a quick and effortless way. Handling 4 Terrabit of pictures is fifficult and I do not want to loose pictures in the process to organise my files because they were forgotten to be safed.
    That was why Aperture was my choice. But I cannot afford to check every imported file and rewrite the missing captions. Storing my pictures as JPGs is not an alternative. I want to keep them as TIFF files after I worked them out.
    To ask the question again: What could be the reason that some Tiff files are imported with captions and others, which are just variations and captioned the same way are not?
    Thanks a lot for any sugestion!

  • Aperture Import with Automator

    Hi
    I have created the following Automator workflow as a Service:
    1. Import photo
    2. Evaluate photo
    3. Set IPTC tags
    The workflow does fine until step 2 but stopps with the Apple Script error message that
    "Parts of the expression did not provide a result. (-2763)"
    The keywords I would like to add to photos to be imported do not show up in the
    respective Aperture field (field at the bottom "Schlagwörter"):
    What is going wrong? I can not find the reason and would be very happy for advice.
    Thank you very much!

    I'm using a hot folder to import to Aperture as well, and also had the same problems when I try to configure it.
    I solve it by creating an action in Automator that will copy all the images from the memory card to a temp folder when a card is inserted in the card reader. At the end of the action all the files inside the temp folder are moved to the actual hot folder, as you said this is almost instant so works perfectly.
    So basicly the workaround is the following:
    Card inserted - Image capture starts and copy all the images to a temp folder - Images then move to Aperture's hot folder - Aperture gets all the images.

  • SONGS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED APPEAR TWICE ON MY PHONE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY AND HOW TO EDIT THIS PROBLEM?

    Songs that I have purchased on Itunes appear twicw on my Iphone. Does anybody know why and how do I edit or remove one copy of the song?

    I have had two similar events with my Gen4 iTouch. An album was purchased thru iTunes with my iTouch. When I sync'd it with my MAC Mini (OSX Lion) each song that was included in the purchased album appeared twice on the iTouch but only once on the MacMini. Deleting the duplicates on the iTouch did not resolve the issue. With each sync they were reinstalled. The only way I could get around this was to delete the album/songs on the MAC, elect to move them to trash then re-sync the iTouch to remove them. Afterwards I was able to re-download the purchase on the MAC then sync the iTouch. This resolved the issue.
    The second event was different but the result was the same: An album was purchased thru iTunes but this time thru iTunes Store on the MAC mini. When I sync'd the iTouch there were 2 entries for each song purchased but this time there was an entry for the song itself AND an identical entry beneath it that looked similar to the play/pause sampling icon in iTunes when sampling a song prior to purchase. I am not using iCloud and I don not sync wirelessly on the iTouch. Again, all I could do was delete the purchase on the MAC Mini, sync the iTouch to remove them, re-load the purchase from iTunes and re-sync. This also resolved the issue but it makes me a bit nervous since I have a very large library. What is causing this?
