Issues with Aperture 3.3.1 and LX-5 raw files

Having used my Lumix LX-5 raw files successfully with previous versions of Aperture, after loading some into V3.3.1 this morning, the initial preveiws were fine, and then I watched everyone change from a normal well exposed image to vertially all black with a very dark green colour cast!
No amount of adjustment via the inspector tools wil fix them.
Anyone got any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks

Two things to try:
Force the generation of new previews by holding down the option key while selecting "Update Preview"
If this only happened after you upgraded to 10.7.4 and worked well before, then register your camera with the lauch services database - see this post by Alan Roseman:This solved my questionRe: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish, but read the follow up posts (the lsregister command) as well, on how it is supposed to work and how to correct the typos.
Added: if that does not help, try to remove the raw presets from ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/RawDecodePresets.plist

How can I import an Aperture Catalog into Lightroom and retain the RAW file as well as the files with the edits?

I have several catalogs in Aperture that I would like to import to Lightroom 5 and I want to retain the original RAW files as well as the files with the edits. How can I do this?

Well, you can bring in the raw file (without edits), and you can bring in a rendered RGB file (e.g. jpeg or tiff) with edits baked in, but what you CAN'T do is bring in a raw file, with the non-destructive Aperture edits, and have Lr translate those Aperture edits into Lightroom edits.
Put another way: no raw converter/editor can understand the edits of any other raw converter/editor. So, you have to work with a rendered version, and/or re-edit from scratch in a new raw converter/editor.
PS - it would be feasible to write a rough translator which approximated raw edits in one world into edits in another, but such does not exist yet for Aperture -> Lightroom, that I know of.

Printing Success with Aperture 1.5.2 and HP Photosmart Pro B9180

With so many "hit-and-miss" posts regarding printing, I thought I'd post my result with Aperture 1.5.2 and my newly-acquired HP Photosmart Pro B9180.
Firstly, I have my monitor calibrated using ColorVision's Spyder Express. It's a cost-effective solution to monitor calibration and what I see on the screen is what I'm seeing in the print. I calibrate weekly.
Secondly, I'm using HP's Advanced Photo Glossy Paper for prints. HP provides the ICC profiles for their papers (and thus far, they seem to be dead-on accurate).
Thirdly, and I believe this is where issues can occur, is to set, via the Print Driver, color management as Application Managed. This bypasses the default of allowing the printer to manage color for you. This allows Aperture to use the ICC profile of the printer and calculate the proper color "conversion".
Finally, via the Apple's support article on optiziming print (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302821) save the customized printer setup for a specified print size, paper, etc.
I have made 20 prints thus far and all have come out satisfactory. The only "tip" I'd make is that I noticed the gamma setting in the print dialogue is ideally set at 1.15. Otherwise, the print seems to be a bit dark.
PowerMac G5 Dual 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 4 Gigs RAM, CalDigit S2VR Duo 1TB

I just got a B9180 too so thought I would try printing from Aperture. As you suggested I set Gamma to 1.15 - but I still feel the prints are a bit dark. Tried 1.20 but that looked identical to 1.15!

Full screen mode - Issue with Aperture freezing

Hi I have an issue with Aperture 3 freezing if I send an image to a plug-in or external editor while in full screen dual display mode. I have to exit full screen mode first and then send to photoshop/external plugin.
It is not a huge deal and a simple workaround but if I forget to do it Aperture will freeze and I will have to force quit the application.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

Just send a comment to Apple via "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
IME, both full-screen mode and dual-display mode have some rough edges. (I don't expect any improvements until OS 10.7, which is widely reported to include a full re-design of full-screen mode.)

Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 since downloading Lion?

Hi All,
Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 after downloading the Lion update? Aperture 3 is running so ssssslllloooowwww !!! I am a sports photographer who needs this to run the way it used to with Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?????
Thanks,
George

It was one of the many issues I had when I was running Lion. I watched the beach balls and the very, very slow rendering of image edits and restored back to my SL clone immediately. It was looking like Aperture 2 and my sanity just couldn't take that again.
I have to assume that Apple must have tested Lion with Aperture 3, but you wouldn't know it from how it behaved on my system.

Printing issues with Aperture 3 - color management

I just made three prints of the same images, two with Aperture 3 that turned out very dark and off color, almost as it they were printed without color management or double profiles. I then printed the third by exporting the image to CS4 and printing with the same settings (rendering intend, printer settings and custom printer profile) and that print looks fine. Has anyone else run into similar problems with A#? I did not have this issue with Aperture 2.
Thanks,

I print on an Epson 2880 with Lyson inks and custom profiles. In Aperture 2 it worked perfectly, with exactly the same settings as for printing Photoshop - using the laboratory prescribed settings:perceptual and no black point compensation in Photoshop, and Adobe RGB Gamma 2.2 in the Print settings.
Using the same profile and settings with Aperture 3, the colours are way, way off - exactly as described.
I then tried with Aperture 3 turning off the Adobe RGB setting, so there was no colour space adjustment in the Print setting. This gave a slightly better result, but rather dead and slightly blue.
I ran some tests with the GretagMacbeth colour chart used in preparing the profiles, which confirmed the above but also shows a lack of sharpness when printing from Aperture 3, and a blue border on three sides of the image - even though the border was set to 0.00. I have checked the printer head adjustments and run the test chart through Photoshop again to verify these are Aperture 3 artefacts.
Unless this is resolved, it renders Aperture completely useless! (I have tried reinstalling printer drivers, to no effect).

OSX 10.9.1 Compatibility issue with Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B

I have Mac Mini's connected to the Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B touch screens and after updating to 10.9.1 am experiencing what appears to be a compatibility issue with the Sharp TPM driver and the OSX 10.9.1.
Everything works perfectly previously on 10.8.4 and 10.8.5. I did not test on 10.9.0 as I went straight to 10.9.1. Anyone else having this problem? Any thoughts on resolution?

OK so perserverance seems to have helped here - i used the cmd R function on start up to get to the page where i can re install OS X Lion - Safari now working.
However i have Office 2011 for MAC and now Excel wont start so i will post on another thread for help with this
Hope this helps if anyone has a similar issue

Issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and Windows 7 64-bit Preview Handler

Hi. I work in an enterprise environment that is currently migrating to 64-bit Windows 7. The only version of Acrobat we have approved for Windows 7 is 10.1.2. We're seeing an issue with this version that causes the preview handler to not work. The preview panel in Explorer is just white and will eventually give the error "Preview handler surrogate host has stopped working." I've tried to fix listed on http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html but that registry key is already correct. Our current work around for these users to just install Reader X1 and make it the default PDF handler, but I would like to find a better solution. Is there a known issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and 64-bit operating systems? Or is there a way to change just the default preview handler?

Most of the info on the web page you link to is 2-4 years old. I doubt it applies. Your workaround is actually the best solution: It's always preferred to use the latest PDF viewer. Reader and Acrobat can exist on the same machine.
Also, why 10.1.2? There have been 6 releases since then with documented security enhancements (meaning there are also published vulnerabilities which are patched), bug fixesm, and feature enhancments.
I'll ping some folks about the error you are getting. . .
hth,

Issue with Adobe Encore CS5.1 and Matrox MAX H.264 encoding on Windows

Here's some information on an issue that we've identified with Matrox products and Encore CS5.1:

Still flickering on Encore even when rendered in MPEG-2 DVD in Pemiere Pro CS5.5. Looks perfect in Premiere Pro.
Any other ideas?

one obstacle, quickly removed. thank you.
nomenclature aside for a moment, 10.6.8 is correct but maybe more is necessary about the MacBook Pro: it is 'old': Identifier: 1.2, Intel Core Duo, 2.16 GHz, 1 Processor, L2 2 MB, RAM 2 GB.
i hope that is enough to get an answer to this: is it unadvisable to update its OS; in other words, if i update to 10.9, will the machine be able to handle it, 'speedwise'?

This sounds like an error in Time Zone support. The time zone needs to be the same in Outlook as well as the phone.

Issue with Visibility Settings for Backgrounds and Layers

I am using Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.10 (Windows) and having an issue with visibility settings for layers and backgrounds. I am attempting to get backgrounds to appear while viewing in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro but not be printed and so far have had no success.
When using a background the Appearance Options dialogue has "Show when printing" unchecked, but "Show when displaying on screen" is checked. This results in the background not showing on the screen, and the background will only appear once the box for "Show when printing" is checked. It looks like the option for printing is dictating whether or not the background is able to appear.
Using layers has not worked either. The background layer is set to "Never Prints", but will still show up when printed.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this and has a solution, or has any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Hi setrev2012,
How are you adding the backgroud?
The only way I can think to accomplish this is via a watermark.
The basics...
Open PDF in Acrobat. Choose Pages > Watermark > Add Watermark.
Select a jpg or PDF of your background and adjust scaling options as desired.
Then click the Appearance Options.. and uncheck the Show When Printing option.
In this image the PDF is a blank page with the word "Test" on it. The watermark is the stamp and impression (a stock photo jpg).
If you want a solid color background, just create a flat image of the background color for use as the watermark.
If you have already followed the steps and still facing the issue then please share the file with me at [email protected] so that i can have a look.
Regards,
Rave

Aperture 3.1.3 Very slow importing raw files

Aperture 3.1.3 Very slow importing raw files please help
Pro Photographer. I have a Mac Pro Quad core 1 yr old with 12GB Ram. I import via 2 Firewire 800 card readers - A Lexar & a UDMR Reader.Only using them singly. System has 4 1TB hard drives 1. Applications, 2. Aperture Library, 3. Aperture Vault, 4 Time Machine
On a photo shoot, first CF card may download and complete in less than a minute but the next card with a similar number of images may take 10 minutes.
Sometimes if I swap card readers, this can speed up download but then everything slowly grinds to a halt.
I have closed down all other programmes, switched off Faces and Enable Gestures - switched off Look up places.
Situation driving me nuts as we shoot and view images with customers immediately after the session and download time effecting the amount of time we have to do this. Nothing seems logical as such a high spec machine should theoretically fly through this.

Have you upgraded your OS ans all your Apps to the latest Versions and also rebooted the system?
Turn on the Activity Viewer (Windows ->Show Activity) while importing, to see how Aperture is spending its time.
Also launch some tools from the Application -> Utilities folder:
launch the Console window, to check for diagnostics /error messages
launch the Activity Viewer, to see how much RAM and CPU time Aperture and other processes are using.
How much space is free on your system drive? And on the drive you are importing to?
If you find in the Activity Viewer, that Aperture is slow, but de facto using not much CPU time, then the problem may be a corrupted Aperture Library or corrupted preference files.
Try to import into a new, empty Aperture library and see if the problem persists.
If you have no problems with a new Library, try the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Start with repairing permissions and repairing the library.
If none of the measures outlined there, or you need further help, please report back.
