Noise Ninja 64-bit Plugin for Aperture 3

For those of you who rely on Noise Ninja, I figured the community would be interested in the news that they have finished their 64 plug-in for Aperture 3 and are in the final testing phase before release.
I wrote them yesterday, and got the following response:
Hi Kevin,
We will make a 64 bit Aperture 3 plug-in available once we've had time to test the plug-in and installation process. The plug-in is already running. We just have to finish testing and update the web site. I do not anticipate this taking more than a week.
We will provide this release as soon as we can.
I will send you an email as soon as we have our release ready.
Kind regards,
Bill
PictureCode
I have been using their application since 2004, and in Aperture since Apple introduced the plugin structure wit Version 2. IMHO, Noise Ninja is best-in-class, and great folks to deal with.

Yes! Got my email notice this afternoon -- it works!

I have installed hydra express plugin for Aperture many time with no success

I have installed hydra express plugin for Aperture many time with no success. When I select edit with plugin hydra, the make an HDR image with hydra appears. When I hit the process button a message states that hydra is not found. I have checked in my application support folder. There is no plugin folder for aperture or a hydra plugin.
Any help would be appreciated.

Plug-ins get installed in one of two locations.
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit
or
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit
The second is for all users of the machine and is located in the root folder of your system drive (often "Macintosh HD").
The first is your private library (note the ~ symbol which a shortcut to your user folder) and means the plugin is just for you. ~/Library is hidden by default so finder wont see it. To see it in Finder, use the menu "Go->Go to folder" and type in ~/Library as the folder name. Then you can natigate to /Application Support/ etc....
That should help you determine if it's installed. Note, you may only find an alias in the plug-in folder and the programs may actually be stored elsewhere. Also, if the Plugin can be used for export as well as edit, it might be located in /Plug-Ins rather than /Plug-Ins/Edit
In terms of why it isn't working, I think I may have a clue to what's going on. Sometimes plugins use utilitly shell commands that get distributed with the plugin. These can get quarantined by Macs Gatekeep security because they are not signed by a 'valid' developer.
I've recently taken on the task of making the old Enfuse plugin compatible with the latest version of Aperture, and ran into this gatekeep quarantine issue. I got around it by de-quarantine the required commands and got the plugin working.
For distribution, I've put an AppleScript together which installs the plugin and takes care of the quarantine issue, but I am just (literally today) tesing that on a different machine to make sure it works the same as it does on mine.
If you can first confirm that hydra is installed in one of the above locations, I'll then talk you through how to check if there is a quarantine issue with it.

Pixelpost export plugin for Aperture

I found an export plugin for Aperture to send photos to Pixelpost blogs. I'm posting this here in case someone searches the discussion forums looking for one. The link is:
http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addons/aperture-pixelpost-plugin/
or from the developer's site:
http://www.macroni.be/index.php?x=plugin
His comments:
"APP (Aperture Pixelpost Plugin) uploads the selected picture from your Aperture library to you pixelpost blog without having to export the picture first, and then uploading it manually."
I've tested it with APP v 1.3, Aperture v 2.1.4, OS X 10.6.1, Pixelpost v 1.7.3. The plugin does work, but when you export more than one photo, they all have identical metadata information. You'll have to rename and retag in the Pixelpost control panel. The plugin also does not remember your Pixelpost login information between sessions. In spite of these problems, it is a useful plugin for us Pixelpost users.

Hey - I downloaded it and sent $ the day he put up the note EXCELLENT implementation, flawless installation and FAST uploading. Do yourself a favor if you're a Smugger. As said above, a marriage of two great products!!

Istockphoto plugin for aperture 3.0

Has anyone tried the istockphoto plugin in Aperture 3.0. I downloaded and installed the updated one from Apple's website which says it has universal support for 32 bit and 64 bit however when I select export in aperture it tells me it is only 32 bit. I am assuming that means a restart. Does it make any difference?
I have now removed the old plug-in but the new one will not load - any ideas?
Thanks
Emma

Well - we had to wait for 1.1.7 to be available... problem was that while the apple site did say that the 1.1.7 of the plugin was available for download - it actually pointed to 1.1.6... and that is why it was not working...
itoskphoto twited me and said that 1.1.7 was going to be launched at any time now.. (that was a couple of weeks ago)... that meant that it wasn't Apple, it what istockphoto who had switched the binaries as they needed to fix something...
Today I checked and 1.1.7 was available for download (read the message when it installs the the plug in) and tried it out... I must be missing something as it does not work at all for me

Visual Studio compiling 64 Bit Plugin for InDesign Server CS5

Hello guys,
Again I have a problem compiling 64 bit plugins, but this time in windows environments, the 32 bit compiling works fine (also on 64 bit machines). The first thing I've done was creating a new project configuration for 64 bit environments copying the 32 bit settings. Now I changed the precompiled libraries to use the 64 bit ones and changed the output directories. After that the compilation process completed without errors, but the resource files have not been copied to the output directory (the directory for them has been created, but it remains empty). Adding the created plugin into the servers directory ends up with a server message that the plugin could not be recognized. Have I missed something that is necessary for compiling 64 bit plugins?
I'm using the 64 Bit Developer Version of the indesign server CS5. The operating system is a Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 with Visual Studio 2008.
Thanks!
P.S. a plugin compiled with 32 bit settings (including 32 bit libraries) also works for the 64 bit version of the server, so does it make any difference if I'm using 32 bit or 64 bit libraries?

The libraries were all correct (all using 64-bit). The problem was a pathing issue. libxml2 needs iconv.dll, but it couldn't find the 64-bit version that I built. Once it found it, everything worked correctly.
The funny thing about depends.exe is that it isn't right all the time. For example, if you open one of the 64-bit .aip files that ships with Illustrator (rename it to .dll first), you'll see what I'm talking about. It complains that you're mixing x86 and x64 CPU types, even though you're not.
The program I used to discover my issue is Process Monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx). I've been using it for years and love it.

Masking plugin for Aperture?

I'm about to buy some kind of masking software.
I've been thinking about Fluid Mask but also Corel KnockOut as plug ins for PhotoShop.
Is there any masking solution for Aperture - like a plugin?

At this point in time there is no way to add new tools to Aperture via plugins. The SDK is for exporting only. Hopefully Apple will address this in a future release...

Adobe creates Lightroom Plugin for Aperture

Glad to see Adobe has created a plugin to ease transition. Guides have been helpful, but aren't as a complete solution as this may offer. Unfortunately, it seems most users can't find a way to install it.
https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/3213#.VDgVnynCMox
Although if you have hundreds of thousands of images, this may not be up to the task. Lets hope.

There are a lot of complexities, to be sure. I just ran a test conversion on the entire library.
First thoughts? We've been blessed with Aperture these many years. Lightroom certainly has some capabilities when it comes to photo editing, but I can see why so many professionals have held out so long with Aperture. There just isn't a better personal-level DAM. I've been reading a book on Lightroom, and there are several limitations as far as manipulating and cataloging. Definitely some neat features as well, but for the most part, not as versatile as Aperture. I'm going to miss that.
I don't like the folder/collections paradigm. Feel like I'm in a straight jacket. But at least it gives me some versatility. Based on testing, I figure I'll reference my masters as year/project, to provide some organization. More than that, it gets difficult to move around within the browser pane.
The plugin has it's problems, but it did perform better than expectations. Out of 40,000 photos, it managed to import all but 200 or so. Oddly, many groupings the same Aperture project. It did a good job of stacking images, but you don't see stacks in collections! It also did find and migrate a bunch of duplicate JPEG "masters" that were presumably created as I've exported to Facebook and other projects.
One gotcha, you should create full-sized previews if you want those migrated, too.
The faces tagging doesn't work yet. And much of my keywords were scrambled. Certainly can pick up the pieces, but that endeavor will take several hours as well. Lightroom won't make this very easy. It seems a bit more cumbersome to navigate, filter, and sort, but perhaps that's just due to my lack of experience.
I only have 1400 stacks, so I figure I'll create a metadata reference for the "pick", flag them in Lightroom, then go through stacks one by one and restack them. Shouldn't take more than a half a day.
Adobe support and forums just aren't very good. Few people participate, even though there is a larger Lightroom community??

Has anyone created a golden ratio plugin for aperture?

Hey there,
Just wondering if anyone knew of an overlay plugin or some other easy method to check the golden ratio against photos within the aperture library. Not that its mission critical to have it within aperture, it's just a pain to export from aperture into another program and back again.

Thanks for the suggestion Thomas but I'm looking for a little more functionality than that. I'd actually like to see a opaque/translucent overlay (just like the guides that already exist in the crop function) that reflects the golden ratio. http://www.digital-photography-school.com/divine-composition-with-fibonaccis-rat io-the-rule-of-thirds-on-steroids I suppose this is something most photographers can eye but I'd like to have the guide there to better understand it.

But thre is no PluginMain like this.It is like ---
DLLExport SPAPI SPErr AutoPluginMain(const char* caller,const char* selector,void* message) can anyone suggest me how to do so.where should i change the code so that plugin can be run in x64 mode.

Any resolution?

What is the favorite HDR plugin for Aperture 3?

The Hydra plugin appears to be free, but is there a compelling reason to drop the coin on the PhotoMatix plugin instead?
Thanks
Jeff

I'm using Nik HDR Efex Pro. The basic differences between HDR Efex Pro and Photomatix are that Photomatix has more powerful adjustment capabilities and can do batch processing. But HDR Efex Pro is easier to use and has better presets. I love the presets.
It may at first appear as if HDR Efex Pro costs more than Photomatix. But I found that Amazon has very good pricing on HDR Efex Pro. I would look there first.

Problem with plug-ins (Noise Ninja & Topaz Denoise)

I've been trying to try demo of Noise Ninja & Topaz Denoise.
I continuously get following message:
Editing Error
This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format.
I've deleted aperture.plist and repaired permissions.
Does anyone have these working?
How?
Very frustrated.

I too have had nothing but problems with Topaz filters.
It seems they're not as Mac-friendly as the developer leads you to believe.
I've installed, had it working once, stopped working, uninstalled, deleted the Topaz Appliation support.
gone through the process again and again.
and it's nothing but problems.
I've given up and am hoping to find another developer who makes an easy to install plugin for Aperture.

What is the PROPER plugin for Windows Media Player 12 - Prompt leads to WMP 11

Is the plugin for WMP 11 the proper plugin for the WMP 12 64 bit system?
Is this WMP 11 plugin the version of the plugin itself or for WMP Version 11?
One web cam I tried to view said it needed this plugin, it wouldn't download; said to do it manually. When I tried it listed the Windows systems w/bit system information and Windows XP SP2 (x86)
Windows XP SP2 (x64)
Windows Vista (x86)
Windows Vista (x64)
There is nothing offered for Windows 7 at all, much less for this 64 bit system as it does for the two above systems. This is very unclear, and with so many problems posted all over the Internet.... and having lost graphic card ability and later memory burn out on last computer due to this same issue in Vista, I would really appreciate the proper plugin information relating to this issue so I can safely use my computer.
Who creates the plugins?T Firefox or Microsoft? How can this problem go on for so many years unresolved? Thanks for your insight.

You need a 32 bit Windows Media Player and a 32 bit plugin for it.<br />
I don't think that the WMP plugin will work with a 64 bit WMP version.<br />
Firefox is 32 bit as well.
The WMP plugin that you found works with WMP 12.

Create non-apple custom books for Aperture

I am working in a small company providing the photo book printing.
We have the custom-sized books which can be imported via file->import library/project
How can I create something like Graphistudio. They provide the aperture plug-in which creates the special folder with pictures in the book section
Thank for any help in this situation: even giving the e-mail to write to would be great!

To write a plugin for Aperture first you need to download the Aperture SDK. Then you'll need Xcode and a good knowledge of Coca and Objective-C
If your company is serious about this you should join the Mac Developers program. Once you're a member you'll have access to discussion lists that are only open to developers. You'll get much better information there about things programming.
good luck
