Migrate from Lightroom 3 to Aperture 3 - Problems with DNG

Hello : )
I will migrate from Lightroom 3 to Aperture 3. I've tested Aperture for a while and I like it, but I have one problem. If I import DNG files, I lost all the settings I've made in Lightroom, except Metadata. Is there any way to import DNG files and get all the settings? If not I think a migration to Aperture will not be possible to me, because I've over 50.000 DNG files and I don't want to convert them to tiff or other formats and lost all the benefits of the RAW files.
Thanks

Look at the video below- I think it will solve your problem.

Migrated from Lightroom to Aperture: TIFF's in LAB mode don't work

I migrated from Lightroom to Aperture and I noticed many TIFF's were black, or strangely colored (reddish, greenish). I couldn't figure it out, but I think I know what is the problem. I used to work in LAB-mode in Photoshop for quite some time, and I see that those files cause the problems.
Not only can't I see the previews correctly, Ican't do anything with these files (not even open them in Photoshop). What can I do? Because these files are my portfolio (the material I sell, exhibit, etc.). They're extremely important for me. What can I do? I'm willing to convert them to RGB if necessary.

There have been some issues with greenish previews lately. Browse this forum for threads with the tags "green" and "Previews". If that is the problem, then only your previews look strange and your original images might still be o.k.
So I recommend to check if the images or only the previews are faulty.
If you have a referenced Library reveal the masters in the Finder and look at the master with Preview or another Photo Browser.
If your library is managed, you can reveal the masters inside your Aperture Library by opening the package (in Aperture 3.2.1), select the Library in the Finder and click "Show package contents". You will see folders "Masters" and "Previews". Compare the Masters and the Previews.
If only the Previews are faulty, then select the the images in question in the Aperture Browser, ctrl-click them and select "Update Preview". If that does not help ...

I assume you have a backup or can access the originals you imported into Aperture.
Convert a copy of one of pictures to TIFF in RGB mode and see if Aperture can handle that properly.
If you are satisfied with the quality do that with all your important pictures.

Migrating from JServ to OC4J: problems with XSQLServlet configuration

I'm trying to move an application using xsql pages from 9iAS to 10g (9.04). Development is currently done under JDev9 (9.02) an its OC4J standalone server.
I guess I've done most of the configurations, since the application is working correctly now, BUT only with the connections defined statically in the XSQLConfig.xml of the XSQLServlet. On JServ, we implemented our own connection manager to pass our connections to the XSQLServlet as defined by the <connection-manager><factory> tag. Now, under OC4J, this no longer works:
The log files tells:
Failed to create custom connection manager factory: "our.connection.manager.factory": Using default.
And with the default one, we get of course the 'cannot acquire database connection' error message which is ok, since we're not using one of those defined under XSQLConfig.xml...
Background: Our connection manager is contained in a jar file with many other classes. These are visible to the 2 applications ("P" and "T") we're running successfully under OC4J Standalone. As I interprete the message as the XSQLServlet not being able to create an instance of our ConnectionManager, I guess I missed somewhere an library or classpath entry??
Many thanx for any hints!

There was a generic Migration guide produced for the earlier 9.0.2 release with some content on migrating from JServ to OC4J.

It's hard to provide much help without more details.

Migrating from Lightroom to Aperture

I have 60,000 images in my Lightroom 3 Catalog and would like to move to Aperture. Is there a way to import the file folders and XMP data in Aperture?

Aperture can't currently read sidecar files, even though it can generate them.
But that would still only bring across keywords and metadata, not any of the image adjustments.

EDIT - if you mean exporting converted files (TIFFs or JPEGs) then everything should come across, but of course you'd be losing the advantage of lossless changes to RAW files.

Import from Lightroom to Aperture 2.0?

Would like to give Aperture a second chance, but I have already built up my lightroom library. Is there a clean way to do this?

Has any additional progress been made on migrating from Lightroom to Aperture without losing develop settings and metadata?
I tried the Aperture 2.0 demo and really wanted to switch. Lightroom gets absolutely bog-slow once you start accumulating "professional" quantities of photos in your library (I'm managing about 25,000 DNG images) and not only is it slow on its own, it takes a death-grip on anything else running on your Mac as well. Aperture 2.0 was unchained lightning by comparison. And the new plug-in architecture and brush-on dodge/burn effects in 2.1 are deal-sealers for me.
Problem is, I've invested hundreds of hours in cropping and exposure adjustments of my images in Lightroom, and I can't face walking away from all that work and then having to re-do it, even with a superior tool.
Since both of these applications are nondestructive editing tools, all that crop and exposure setting data is just data in databases... I can't believe there's NO way to export that data out of LIghtroom's database format and convert it into Aperture's database format! Surely there's a third-party opportunity here -- I'd certainly be glad to pay for a Lightroom-to-Aperture converter that really worked, and I'll bet a lot of other people would as well.

You need to supply more information and screen shots of the problem would also be useful.

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

If your phone was purchased in the US, yes. Otherwise, no. And, you only need the phone, nothing else.

Problem with DNG Color Profiles in Lightroom 5.4

Hello folks,
I recently updated from LR 5.3 to Lightroom 5.4 and since then I am having problem when using dng color profiles which were created with Colorchecker Passport. Every time I use such a profile which was created for my Nikon D 800 I get very greenish tones in the pictures.
I use Windows 7 Pro on a HP Z 210 Workstation. The monitor is a hardware-calibrated Quato which was recently calibrated.
Does anyone have this problem too and - if yes - know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Yours, Albert
PS: As English isn't my mother tongue I apologize for any mistakes in the text above.

Hello Andrew,
I do have a Nikon D 800 and a Fuji X-E1. I haven's noticed a problem with the Fuji so far. I think I will recalibrate my monitor tomorrow and see if the problem still exists.
I can supply raws and DNG profiles but I don't know where I should upload them - I suggest I could do it on my own webspace. Would that be ok?

I exported jpg, tif, psd, and dng files from Lightroom but Aperture does not see them except for dng during import

How do I import jpg, tif, psd files exported from Lightroom 3 into Aperture 3.2? I had no problems before...seems like since I installed Lion, they do not show up in the import folder.

How are you trying to import them (again) ? If you're importing through the Import Window and have RAW only set then that's all you'll get.
Also what's an Import Folder? Not sure how Lightroom fits into this. If you share your workflow with us we might be able to help.
regards

Problems after migration from CS5 to 5.5 with Blackmagic Card

Hello forum,
we have an problem after an optimal migration from cs 5 to 5.5 projects.
different: there is an bm hd extreme 3d card in the system.
We are aware of the issue that there has to switch to BM player an the Timleinl settings to BM
But there is still a problem: we are not able to view the ingested material in the source viewer,
because there is another overlay - form the background or sometheing else - see attached photo.
We add new drivers for graphics/BM and patches for CS 5.5
None of these problems by creating new projects.
Also the applications also hangs after we try to close,
many thanks for your answers - Sven.

No reason to ask the same question twice. Just be aware that there are German forums as well.
Your problem is probably in the BM drivers.

Graceful way to migrate from iPhoto to Aperture -- w/o losing metadata?

Does anyone have advice on migrating an iPhoto library into Aperture without losing some critical metadata? I'm specifically concerned about two things:
1. "Original" and "Modified" versions: I shoot RAW but put quite a bit of work into post-processing photos (e.g., white balance correction, cropping, etc.) It's very important to me that I don't lose the connection between original and modified versions of files. Additionally, when I browse an event, I would like to be able to see the "modified" version of files that I have edited and "original" version of files that I have not -- just like in iPhoto. My efforts to date have resulted in either A) losing original versions of all modified photos or B) creating an Aperture project with duplicate original and modified copies of each iPhoto photo.
2. "Hidden" photos. The "hide/unhide" feature is the best tool iPhoto provides for sorting "good" pictures from "bad" in a shot, so I have used it extensively. I would like to not lose this information when migrating to Aperture (even if it takes a different form -- maybe "reject"?), and it would certainly be nice to be able to optionally either browse all photos in a shot or only those that were not hidden when in iPhoto.
Is there any hope?
(Context: I've been using iPhoto for years, but I really like Aperture's interface and photo tuning/editing options. I've considered migrating a number of times and have always turned back because of how much information I'd lose in the migration. Has anyone managed to crack the code... or has Apple finally made this transition doable?)

I do have a related question and problems. Any input would be greatly appreciated
I am in the process of migrating my iPhoto pictures over to Aperture. Because I have close to 100k pictures and short clips, I can not import my entire 500 GB library at once because I don't have enough hard drive space to support both iPhoto and Aperture libraries at the same time. I also thought it might make sense to not have one gigantic library. Also I would like to have my old photos separated by years, and I don't know if Aperture would do this if I imported the entire iPhoto library (which does only separate them by events) at once. So it appears to me that the only import method that would work (please correct me if this is wrong) would be to open the "Masters" directory of iPhoto in the Finder, and drag and drop each year's directory into the "Projects/Library" panel in Aperture. Note that I do not want any editing information preserved from iPhoto, so using the Masters seems to be the most space efficient thing. So far so good but there appear to be at least two big snags. Firstly the yellow projects folders within each blue years folder in Aperture are not in chronological but in alphabetical order and I can't find out how to fix this. Secondly (and much more problematically) the dates on many old photos have been altered in an apparent random manner during the import into Aperture! Therefore they do appear in the wrong locations in my events library, according to the altered date. There are many too many photos that have been changed to undo this manually (I estimate it would take several weeks to do this).
But how and why could this have happened in the first place?
I also noticed that even when I change the dates of the Aperture masters to the true ones (by comparing to the masters in iPhoto), they still remain in the same wrong location in my Projects/Events library, according to the date originally (and falsely) assigned by Aperture.
There surely has to be a way to import photos into Aperture without ruining their date stamp?
Thanks in advance for your help!
