Latest batch of RAW files has all the raw fine tuning options greyed out
I shoot about 1000 images a week with my 40d and edit/organize all of them in Aperture... the latest batch (a pretty important batch at that) of 800 or so imported fine but does not allow me to use the 'Raw Fine Tuning' options as if they are JPGs. I can still go to the images i imported last week and the RAW fine tuning works fine, even some in the same album... any ideas?
Aperture 1.5.6
more informaion:
today's images imported fine, so you can rule out the security patch.
even more peculiar i exported some of the images, and imported the same masters back in and much to my suprise the RAW fine tuning works. I rebuilt the library hoping that would help but it didn't, I'm just going to go back through the library and re-tag and rate my picks from the shoot, but any idea on how to keep this from happening again? it has to be some wacky setting or something, I can export the broken image and the import it again and it works fine.
any help would be appreciated

I want to upload a Banner to my iTunes U page.
The banner file has all the requirements like as, kind, size, frame, and etc.
Infortunately, I could not upload the file. It does not show in Provider Page Configuration or the preview.
Someone could help me?Sounds like a driver issue. I never tested in bridge, so I could be wrong. But it sounds to me that when you are connected to that screen, your settings are not set to the full resolution of that screen.

Noise reduction - RAW fine tuning and the Noise Reduction tool
Hi,
1- If I get it right, Aperture's RAW fine tuning "Automatic noise compensation" (translated from French) option uses the camera's information to adjust the noise. Is that correct?
2- The Noise Reduction tool is there to provide additional noise reduction, but this makes you lose some details. Is that correct?
3- How do you use them? I often find the Noise Reduction tool a bit overkill, but that's me.
4- This one is just out of curiosity. How does A3 compare to LR3 beta for you in that regard? In my testing, LR3 did a slightly better job (but A3 totally beats the crap out of LR2 for noise). BUT I have an old D50, and newer cameras handle noise better (especially Nikon), so does it really make a difference for a 2008 or newer camera?
Thanks!

I don't even have this option/checkbox in my Raw Fine Tuning brick.
I wonder if it's due to the type of files (Canon 7D). Do you still have those 7D files I sent you? Does the checkbox appear in Raw Fine Tuning for you with them?
I noticed this option in the manual the other day, but forgot about it until now.
True, it doesn't have the checkbox with the 7D files. However, it as a slider "noise suppression" (again translated) in the RAW fine tuning options (and still has the Noise suppression brick).
If you don't have this one too, have you reprocessed your images with Aperture 3? Since it has a new raw engine, it may be the cause of it.
I find it strange that Apple didn't tout the new RAW engine on Aperture 3 new feature, it clearly is an improvement over Digital Camera RAW 2, especially in noise suppression.
I agree the built-in noise suppression is much better than A2, but IMHO it pales in comparison with the Noise Ninja plugin from Picturecode. The key is that you calibrate a profile for Noise Ninja by shooting a color chart full screen on your computer at varying iso settings with each of your cameras. You then feed the images back in to Aperture, and tell Noise Ninja to create a noise profile for each setting. The results are amazingly good.
Now with a lot of new cameras, noise processing is getting less important because the high iso performance is so good....but this is what makes Noise Ninja special...even when the noise adjustment is subtle, because it is working from a profile created with your camera, at the iso the shot was made at, its effects are seamless. They just announced a 64 bit plugin for Aperture 3, so no bouncing into 32 like other plugins at the moment...

Aperture 2.1 doesn't lift Raw Fine Tuning for Canon 40D
Anyone know what's going on here. I can lift all adjustments including raw fine tuning with all my cameras (Canon 1D Mark III; 1Ds Mark III; Mark IIN) except for the 40D. For some reason when I click the Lift button on 40D images the Raw Fine Tuning option in the lift hud doesn't appear. Only Adjustments, Main Rating, IPTC and Custom. I've tried quitting Aperture and restarting. I've also tried rebooting. Problem persists.
First, make sure that you are using full RAW files not RAWs. RAW s is a smaller size setting in the camera which has not been supported by Aperture in the past. Second, try rebuilding your Aperture database. I have a Canon 7d and use RAW. It works fine on my system. You can try reinstallation but if your problem is the RAW version or your database, reinstallation will not address the problem.

RAW Fine Tuning Dimmed out for D80 RAW Picture
When I open a "RAW" file taken with a Nikon D80, the "RAW Fine Tuning" options are all dimmed out in the "Adjustment" panel and won't let me make adjustments. It shows my camera properly as a Nikon D80, but none of the sliders (Boost, Sharpening, Chroma Blur, etc) will work.
Is there some setting I have to adjust, or is it something else?There may be a simpler solution yet - when you first click a raw file, all of these options are greyed out until the "real" file loads. At first it just displays a preview, and while that is happening, stuff is greyed out - once the file loads, the controls become active.
So, just check if you have the same problem if you let the file sit there for a minute until it finishes loading Remember - Aperture is still pretty slow with big files (it just looks fast.) -
De-Noise setting with custom RAW fine-tuning ?
If I look at the De-Noise setting when using the Apple default you will notice that it varies with the ISO of the image (Njikon D4). As the ISO increases so does the De-Noise setting. This is often a good thing. If I save my own RAW fine-tuning setting with out touching the De-Noise setting and make it the Default, the De-Noise setting is no longer 'active' and just sits at zero for all ISO settings.
How do we create a custom preset that will automatically increase De-Noise when the images have a higher ISO?

How do they differ after the last update? Ithink my Canon EOS 5D Mark II images now need less boost than before.
I have speculated elsewhere that software and camera manufacturers are pushing hotter and more "Disney-fied" defaults than they have in the past (and that these have always been "unreal"). My experience with a Sony a77 is that the newest RAW upgrade reverses (or calms) this trend.
The Sony a77 default setting under Apple RAW Compatibility Update 3 was too saturated and too contrasted (locally and globally). I pulled back Boost to 0.7 and Hue Boost to 0.6, and left the rest the unchanged. Under RAW Compatibility Update 4.0, I don't have to make as big a change, and settled on Boost=0.93 and HueBoost=0.70. I also tweaked the other settings -- the biggest change there was putting moire to zero.
That said -- I am having significant repeatable color problems with my NEC wide-gamut PA271W monitor, so I am going to have to revisit these settings after I resolve that. I made the new settings based on the Retina display and an NEC 2490WUXi2. They produce images that look great. I have not printed any yet, but getting matching prints has not been a problem in the past.
Do you change any settings other than Boost and Hue Boost? -
The RAW Fine tuning options are not showing up in my adjustments hud. I have Aperture 1.5.6. I can't find a way to add this to my adjustments hud. How can I add this?
What camera are you using? I don't think that Aperture supports raw fine tuning for every camera—only those with optimized support.

I updated my iPad with the latest iOS and despite backing up all the information prior via iTunes, my iBooks application was deleted along with a hundred important PDFs on it. Is it possible to locate these missing files? Urgently require assistance. Thank you!
Hi Sam,
I understand where you are about being your own IT department, it can be overwhelming ...
What drives to buy depends an awful lot on how you will use them, what your budget is, and your preferences.
In the case of your DP Powermac, for online storage used primarily for editing, I would add one or more internal drives first. Look for drives that are at least 7200rpm and have at least an 8MB cache. 10,000rpm/16MB cache is even better, but more expensive. Seagate Barracudas have always been good choices.
For backup purposes, I'd pick some good external FireWire drives; you can also use these for online editing, lots of people do. Your Mac has both FW400 and FW800 ports - either kind is fine but if you get drives that support both, you would want to connect them to the FW800 port for the added performance.
In my experience, the Lacie d2 Extreme drives have been very very good. In fact I have 3 of them daisy-chained off my iMac G5 right now and they work flawlessly with FCE. Weibetech and Granite Digital drives are further upscale in performance and price. RAID configurations would be even further upscale. Do stay away from consumer level hard drives, however ... the Western Digital MyBook series & no-name drives come to mind ...
Don't use a FireWire hub for your external drives, it's just asking for trouble.
ps. And thanks for your nice comment about me. I'm happy to help, as are other folk in the forum. -
Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?
DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now? -

In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?
You would go into Preferences > File Type Associations and from the dropdown menu and choose "Browse" to get to Lightroom.
So yes you can set files that Lightroom supports to open from Bridge into Lightroom.
But I don't think you'd want to.
Lightroom is a standalone product for a Photography workflow. Bridge is a manager for Creative suite products like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign. Basically web and print design workflows.
Bridge is not a manager for Lr because Lr has it's own catalog system.
Lightroom is not a Creative Suite product.
Bridge does use Adobe Camera Raw to make adjustments, but move those adjusted files into Lr, you have to make a decision whose settings stay.
This video should explain the difference.

Hi guys..!!
I would like to know if someone could help on this:
I just have a HP printer (HP Designjet 100) and for some reason I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers in total 590MB to be able to use my printer in my mountain lion???
If normally the size of my files in the for previous software was more or less 5MB why now i need to install 590?
Some one could help me how to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???
ThanksIf you go to http://support.apple.com/downloads and locate the HP Printer Drivers installer, you will find that it is 473.4 MB (for version 2.11). If you install this, it will install the full set of drivers for every model of HP printer that is supported by the drivers distributed through Apple. The disk space occupied once installed will probably be larger than the download, since the downloaded file is compressed.
On the other hand, if you have an HP printer connected and you use Software Update (or the Update tab in App Store), that should offer you a much smaller set of HP drivers, which are only applicable to your printer (and possibly a few similar ones). These updates are typically only tens of megabytes rather than hundreds of megabytes.
If Software Update doesn't offer you any HP drivers then it either thinks you have the latest drivers installed already, or the printer model is not supported by the drivers available from Apple.
This article lists all of the printer models for which Apple distributes the driver:

Every time i download compilation cds each song saves sepertaly because each song is by a diferant artist. Is there a way to save it under 1 file like all the other cds?
Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

we have 2 I phones and when I tried to sync my I phone to the computer for a back up(have only 1 account) i lost all my phone contents and my phone has all the contacts/messages etc of my daughter's phone. I had ok'd to "restore settings" in the process. How do get all the contents/contacts of my phone back?
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.
