Is there a text tool for Aperture?

I would like to print a photo from Aperture or iPhoto with a text title someplace inside the photo, to use as a cover for a DVD. I searched for any text tools but none available (you can write text when printing a book which is not what I need). I solved my problem by using HeliosPaint but was wondering why Aperture does not have it available.

I solved my problem by using HeliosPaint but was wondering why Aperture does not have it available.
Because that's not what Aperture is meant for. That said, you can use the book tool to create this type of layout and export the page as a pdf. You can also use the print dialog to add text and print to pdf. There's also the free BorderFX plugin (here I go again) that can do the job.
But really, the best thing is always to use the right tool for the job. Aperture has minimal design capabilities simply because it's not a design app.

  • Is there a masking tool for Aperture 3?

    Hi all,
    I am looking for a tool or plugin to remove background on images. Something along the lines of Topaz Remask or Onone Software Mask Pro, products which unfortunatly does not support Aperture 3...
    Thanks in advance,
    François Meehan

    Hi François.  There is not -- at least not one you'll be happy with.  You'll need a graphics program for that.  Aperture is a superb digital photograph storage, development, and publishing platform, but it doesn't do compositing, which is what you asking for.
    This message contains some more information.
    Note that should you wish, you can open any Image in an external editor of your choice, edit it as you wish, and save your changes back to Aperture.  The use of an external editor breaks the non-destructive workflow at the heart of Aperture, however.

  • Is there a selecting tool for doctoring specific portions of an image?

    In Photoshop I can use a select tool to outline the specific area I want to work on in a photo. Is there a similar tool in Aperture? I'm away from my own computer, no manual, and my client's Aperture help doesn't seem to respond.
    b

    Not like PS.
    There are plug-ins that allows for editing part of the image. But Ap will create tiff file and plug-in editor will do its thing them saved back into Ap as a version. Or you can simply specify PS(CS/PSE) as an external editor and do what you want to do also.

  • Is there a self writing text tool for iBA or do I have to use After Effects?

    I am authoring a book that uses a lot of text examples—the idea is to have the examples as interactive text that self writes and highlights the important parts of each example when touched. Problem is that most self writing uses Flash so that is out and AE is horrible to use for more than one or two examples and I have thousands. Is there an easy solution or tool for iBooks Author to achive this easily?

    Obviously I did not phrase the question correctly or you don't inderstand what self writing means.
    The iBook is complete with all text in place.  However, I want to present some example sentences as self writing sentences so that when a reader touches an example, it self writes in situ with important word or characters highlighted.
    So for example, if the reader touches the sentence:
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazey dogs.
    The sentence disappears for a second and self writes word by word in situ but with the (incorrect) e in lazey highlighted as
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazey dogs.
    Is that clear?
    And more importantly, is there a tool, plugin, etc., to achieve this easily in iBooks? I know how to do it with flash and After Effects but the many thousands of examples to process makes AE a nightmare.

  • Is there any upragde tools for SAP B1 to SAP ERP?

    Hi,
    I know, SAP B1 and SAP ERP are totally different SAP products.
    In my mind, maybe we should implement the new SAP ERP, and then, migrate the old master data from B1 to ERP...
    So, is there any upragde tools or procedure (or data migration tools)for the project of upgrade SAP B1 to SAP ERP?
    Is there any documentation for this?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Is there a hyperlinked index for Aperture 3 user Guide?

    The hyperlinked User Guide for Aperture 2 was so easy. How do you find information quickly without an index in the Aperture 3 guide?

    I read the PDF document with Preview. Searching is easy, and the contents and cross-references are linked. But it's true that there is no index of terms. Kinda moot with a search feature available, no?

  • Are there any recovery tools for optical media?

    I've had a couple of DVD's  turned in to coasters recently and I was hoping that Linux could come to my rescue with some awesome 'raw-read' / recovery tools for optical media?
    I burnt the discs in Windows 7 using InfraRecorder on a brand new Plextor drive (a 'PX-891SA') and these are my first attempts to burn discs with it so I'm a bit worried it could be a hardware fault!
    I started off trying to back up some files to clear some space on my hard-drive, burning them to a dual-layer dvd, but the software kept failing to even start the burn process -- that was until I realised that I needed to run the program "as Administrator" (in Windows). It did then manage to burn the disc (I was using "Session-at-Once" mode) however when it came to the end of the burn process / the start of the 'verify data' phase it threw an error saying the write process had failed! Windows couldn't access the disc / data and (I think) still thought the disk was empty. So I restarted the burning application and used a function to just 'close' the whole disc. This seemed to work because Windows was then able to recognise the disc and read the data, although accessing the disc was slow and sounded 'stutter' ish.
    I then tried to write a single layer dvd to finish off the last couple of gig I had to back up, but again the software completed the burn phase only to report a 'fail' error right at the end (I'm assuming) before finalising the disc. Although this time I'd tried to create a multi-session disc by using the '2XXA' (or something) 'Multi-Session' iso9660 format. The result was that Windows couldn't read the disc and still thought it was empty, even after trying a forced 'close disc' operation! -- Linux however could read the disc and see that the data had in fact been burnt to the disc (although I've not yet tried copying it in Linux!).
    Finally I needed to burn a load of archives to a couple of discs (totaling ~9GiB) -- starting with a dual-layer dvd first everything seemed to be working fine, the burn process started okay and the write buffer was full etc., until at what I assume was the layer change-over it all came to a grinding halt and threw another 'write operation failed' error, only this time I can't even mount the disk in Linux....see 'dmesg | tail' output below:
    [ 5758.353005] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
    [ 5758.353015] ISOFS: Interleaved files not (yet) supported.

    [ 5758.353037] isofs_fill_super: root inode is not a directory. Corrupted media?
    Does anyone have any thought or suggestions that might help?
    - Is it likely to be a hardware fault? (I bought a Plextor because I thought they were one of the best!)
    Maybe even if I could just close the session all would not be lost?

    @chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
    I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
    The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
    However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
    ...the other folders did copy okay though!
    It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
    @ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
    @alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
    Thanks for the help!
    (pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition  in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

  • Safari 7 - how do you delete bookmarks?  Is there a general tool for managing bookmarks?

    I am trying to manage many duplicated and unorganized bookmarks in safari 7.   I bought an app - ibookmarks but it doesn't seem to work.  Is there a recomended tool I could use vs. going one by one?
    Thank you,
    Jay

    I have soo many and many duuplicates that the folder is useless - handling them one by one isn't an option.  I did discover if you hold down the shift key and select the bottom most bookmark you want to delte you can kill many at once but it doesn't really allow you to do much more than a bulk delete ...... what happened to the screen where you could edit the bookmarks in a folder .... your help is appreciated.

  • HT5392 How can I use an Action List to re-order my layers in iAd Producer?  It looks like there's a tool for this, but I can't figure out how to use it.  I want to use a button to switch between a text field and a drawing pad layer.

    I am working on an iBooks Author Widget and want to allow the user to switch between drawing-pad functions and a text field on screen.  I'd like to create an action that will automatically re-order the layers so that the text field is accessible when typing but covered when writing by hand.  Then, I'd like the opposite to be available, so that the text field is accessible when typing, but the drawing pad is left alone.

    Have you tried using the selections in the Encore menu viewer that show you selected and activated states?

  • Can't use text tool for new text, only editing

    I'm a new user, having converted from Pagemaker 6.5.  After editing  a converted file for several days,  I opened today and could not get a cursor, in my text box.  It makes a box only and leaves it there.  I can edit existing text, and can cut and paste to the empty text box. This only happens in this file, not in oher documents.

    Thanks again for your help. Yes , it was a PDF that was emailed to me that caused the problem. Once I deleted it everything printed. Then we scanned the pdf and it was fine. Now, my next challenge is getting the copy to print in black & white without the index showing and some other notations in a color. I tried color separations but in pagemaker, I could select non-printing items. I know there should be a simpler way. My document is supposed to be black & white when printed, but I put the index items and a year reference on each page in color. Thanks again in advance.
