Link externally edited files to the original, like Aperture does
This is one thing I really like about Aperture - when you edit files externally, Aperture keeps track of them, and keeps them associated with the original. That little bit of housekeeping is a very nice touch.
From the way you are describing the display issue this sounds like a bug that I have been screaming at Apple about for about 9 months. The bug is in CoreImage and effects everything in OS X that uses the coreimage library to display PSD files.
The issue is caused by having ANY saved alpha channels in an image, these are either created manually by you or automatically by saving a selection. Check the PSD in photoshop, click the channels tab and look for any channel that is not part of the color model itself, if one is there it is causing the display issue. If you do not need this channel then just delete it, if you must have it for some reason the work around is to load the alpha channel into a blank layer layer mask and then get rid of it. If you need it back reverse the process. Bottom line if you have a save an alpha channel it will display all wild and crazy everywhere in OS X that uses core image.

Externally edited files not displaying properly in Aperture
I've edited some pictures in my default exteranal editor PS CS3 to take advantage of layers and some filters. When I see the thumbnail in the stack or when I try to view it in a bigger view window it looks as if one of the PS layers is acting like a mask and I can only view part of the image through the mask window.
I've tried resaving the file in PSCS3 and even making some small alteration so it is an actual new file but it's the same thing? It's a bummer because I've done a lot of work on them and would like to view them along with my other photos.
Does anyone else have this problem?From the way you are describing the display issue this sounds like a bug that I have been screaming at Apple about for about 9 months. The bug is in CoreImage and effects everything in OS X that uses the coreimage library to display PSD files.

Nothing else left to say.
I just have a hard time comprehending why they don't handle file structure sorting.
It's not a difficult thing to understand. It is, in fact, a computing science +industry standard+, deviations from it are the +unusual and esoteric+, not something I'd expect from one of the industry's giants - certainly not a mandatory deviation.
It seems like it's a decision that only serves to frustrate people. I can understand why they would want a metadata sorting mode; I can even see making that the default setting... I'm just kind of flabberghasted at the uninclusion of an alternative file sorting method for those of us who trust our own devices better than metadata that may be incorrect, missing, typographically flawed, or what-have-you. I can get to my own music just fine... On my PC. Why not my iPod? Why does the industry-leading mp3 player have to make it a frustrating and difficult chore to find the media I want to play? -
How to change the suffix for externally edited files?
Hi,
How can I change the suffix Lightroom adds to externally edited files?
If I want it to be "-E" instead of "-Edit" for example, or "-Mod" instead of the long and ugly "-Modifier" in french version.
That would help me to get shorter filenames.
Thank you!Preferences>External Editing tab

Refernce files and external edited files
Hello,
i am testing Aperture and i was wondering if it was possible to use only refernced files.
in my Library there are only refernced files. But if I use PS to edit an files - aperture creates a working copy that will be editet an after PS saved the file Aperture as the updated copy stored in the library.
the library-file is increasing the amount of the filesize of the saved picture.
Is there anyway not to save the edited file in the library but have it as a refernced file in the library while using that very nice workflow?
Thanks
MaverickIs this true???
My experience is that Ap creates either psd or tif file and exports it out to PS. Once editing is done, Ap reimports the edited files into Ap Library and not just modification data (since PS does change the image at pixel level, not non-destructive). The result is each tif/psd file is increasing the library size by 50+mb, depending on size of your original image.
Since I only use referenced masters, would you please be kind enough to tell me what option/steps I need to take so that, either the externally edited file gets automatically stored in the folder that the master file is, or if Ap truly only keep mod data, how I do that?
Currently, I export manually, and edit the file directly in PS and save, then re-import the edited image as referenced master and stack with the original raw. Cumbersome, but the file stays referenced in my folder where the original raw file is.
Thanks...

Itunes can't play the file because the original file can not be found
There is many things wrong with that message and I don't know why.
I had around 30 songs off an album on my computer
I put the album on Itunes
I edited them and then they played fine
I put them on my ipod and then deleted them off coz i wanted to put something else on
but i found out I had more space to put the other 30 songs I had from before back on so I went to the album
when I wanted to play a song it said "Itunes Can't play the file because the original file can not be found"
1) The original file was on my computer, in the exact place where I left it last time when Itunes played it
2) I did not change the file path name
3) I did not change the folder path name
4) The songs aren't corrupted
5) They play fine on other programs
I deleted them all off and took them on again and they played fine but whey did they keep stuffing up before?The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

How to create links to different files on the same page?
Good day to all again,
can someone please guide me through creating several links to different files on the same page. In other words, I am creating a photo page where my links are called Gallery 1, Gallery 2, etc... I would like to create links so when the User clicks on Gallery 1, they see Gallery 1 slide show in the frame; when the user then clicks Gallery 2, then they see Gallery 2 slide show in the window.
My slide show files are done and I am using GoLive CS2. I have no knowledge of JavaScript or ActionScript/Flash.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you
AlekHi Diana,
I'm a professional photographer and in the process of getting
my finished site published. I used Coffeecup Photo Gallery. You can
create multiple albums on the same page. Do a Google search for the
address. It's easy, inexpensive, and it works. I tried to do this
with the Photo Gallery in DW and FireWorks--but couldn't get it
right. CC uses Flash and Javascript.
Good Luck -
On the iPhone 5s, performing any edit on a black and white photo will render a strong purple tone. This occurs in any app under the current iOS. Sadly, every photo must then be re-edited to restore the original black and white. If others have experienced similar troubles, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone, I'm the one from the example above posted by @frankensinatra and I can confirm having the same problem.
But I want to add something. The problem is not only related to black and white but to every picture, and it can be worse or not depending on the range of colors involved. Apparently, there is a shift between some RGB value that is going to remove some green producing a magenta look.
I've started contacting some developer about this problem and some of them is trying to understand what's going on.
In my case, the problem came up when I bought the new iPad mini Retina. I didn't have this problem with the previous iPad mini. Same OS for both devices.
The photo you see in the link above is a perfect example of what happens just going from one app to another and saving to the camera roll. In that case, the situation doesn't change if I send that picture from within the app by email, or to another app using the "open in..." feature. It keeps being purple. And the problem can be reproduced all the time.
Have some of you noticed the same? -
File Sharing: Can't save altered file to the original Mac
I've enabled file sharing on my iMac and MBAir, identified shared foler and given myself read and write privileges, and can open a file from the original iMac on my MBA--but if I edit the file on my MBA I can't save it back to my iMac or export it there. What am I doing wrong?
Putting the hard drive to sleep is an additional option in the energy saver system preference. Unlike display or system sleep, there is no time-to-sleep slider for this; it is an on or off checkbox at the bottom of the pane. When checked, the hard drive will spin down if it hasn't been accessed for a while, even if the system is awake. When the system next needs to access the drive, there is a delay while the drive spins up, but it does not otherwise have any effect on the system's sleep or wake state.
If your software claims it can wake the Mac, it is referring to waking the system. If it doesn't do that, you should contact its maker for assistance with the appropriate settings, for upgrades that might be needed for Tiger, etc. -
if you delete a large file from the mac hard drive does it also delete it from time machine on the external hard drive ?
As the others say, no, the backup copy won't be deleted immediately, but it will eventually.
If you want to delete all backups of a selected item, such as for space or security reasons, see #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. -

In Numbers 08 is it possible to add a link to a file on the local disc within a cell?
In Numbers 08 is it possible to add a link to a file on the local disc within a cell?
As it's a feature asked several times, maybe it will be available in the next version.
I don't know features available in Excel.
Sometimes ago I posted an AppleScript which may perhaps fit your needs.
If you insert in a table pathnames of files stored in your HD, select the cell, trigger the script, open the file.
Here is an updated version :
--[SCRIPT open_a_file]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : open_a_file.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numb ers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner la cellule contenant le chemin d'accès
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “open_a_file”
ouvre le fichier.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: open_a_file.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select the cell containing the pathname
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “open_a_file”
open the file
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
Save this script as a … Script in the "Folder Actions Scripts" folder

How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu?
How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu? (ie. cache)
I don't have PSEv.13, but in my current version, and in the two that I had before, the behavior is/was identical.
As far as I know, the only way to purge an entry in the list of recently edited files via the File menu, is to delete the picture file or send it to the recycle bin.
Perhaps someone will come along with additional information.
"The File option dose not have an option for FILE-MORE-PURGE CACHE. as Adobe suggested."
