Photo calendar using Aperture?

Is is possible to order a photo calendar using images in Aperture? This option is available with iPhoto but not Aperture. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Richard

From within iPhoto, I can view my photos in Aperture - but I am unable to drag them from the viewing pane to the calendar. Is it necessary to import the images from Aperture to iPhoto before they can be inserted into a calendar?

  • Importing Photos without using Aperture or iPhoto

    Hi all,
    I am preparing to migrate from the cuddly world of iPhoto into the big bad world of Aperture. During the transition I was hoping to continue using both programs (especially given the excellent photobook and slideshow functions of iPhoto) and was going to start importing photos and using referenced masters so that both iPhoto and Aperture can look at the same sets of data.
    Are there any programs out there that can automate the import of photos from a camera and allow me to do things like autosplit events or change all the filenames to reflect the photos? I often have several weeks worth of photos that I import and it would be nice to do this without creating a single large folder without everything in it.

    In the Aperture Preferences you can decide what quality of Previews you generate and also elect to share them with the iLife and iWork applications
    Previews are jpegs which are updated as you process your Raws and are a convenient way of sharing the pics with other apps without the whole Export process.
    You can access the Previews in iPhoto via the File -> Show Aperture Library and drag them over. Set iPhoto to a referenced Library and they will take up no extra disk space.
    In almost all cases they will be sufficient quality for an iPhoto book.
    If I am going to use shared previews could I not just import everything directly into the Aperture library?
    Yes.

  • How do I get a mirror image of a photo when using aperture?

    can someone explain this i am new to aperture and mac for that matter!!!

    You may be able to modify the EXIF data. I don't know quite how Aperture will behave, but Preview works fine.
    So, if you have [exiftool|http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool> (which can be a scary proposition if you're not familiar with the Terminal), you can modify the tags in picture headers. One tag, called "Orientation" (See [http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/EXIF.html]) tells your image viewer how to interpret the pixel data in the picture. You can change that tag to "Mirror Horizontal" instead of "Horizontal (normal)" and see what happens. This tells any good image viewer to decode the pixel data in the picture, but do it so the left of the picture in the file is on the right when you display it.
    You should do this to picture not managed by Aperture, and then import the picture into Aperture.
    So, after installing exiftool, do the following at a Terminal:
    exiftool -Orientation='Mirror Horizontal' file1 file2 ... file_n
    Where the file1... part is a list of picture files that you want to flip.
    I just tried that with a picture on my desktop, and Preview opened it just fine and had it as a horizontal mirror image. I didn't import it into Aperture (Since it's already there as the correct image), but you may want to experiment with this until there's a built-in feature.

  • Hi, how do I save the photo calendar I created with iPhoto?

    Hi, I created a photo calendar using the iPhoto format and would like to save my project to pass on to our printer to print it for me as I urgently need the calendar. Can anyone tell me how to save / download the work I have done?

    Before ordering your calendar preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered calendar will match it.
    send the PDF to your printer

  • PSE9 - how to create photo calendar portrait A4

    How do I create a photo calendar orientated in portrait A4 rather than the available landscape orientation? I have Photoshop Elemenst 9. Thanks!

    When you choose Print locally by default the size is of A4 paper size so you do not have to worry about the same. Also the calendar is created in the Portrait except for 1st page which is landscape as it is the start page kind of.
    Here are the links for more understandign on how you can create a photo calendar using PSE:

  • Using Aperture Photos in iPhoto

    In using iPhotos Cards, I learnt that I needed to import Aperture Previews into iPhoto 11 to used them. That wasn't a size / storage concern as I was only making a few cards & only used a few images. I have been using Aperture almost exclusively since 2007, have 12k+ images there for my books & slideshows and closed off iPhoto (9.8k images) except for the occasional card, reprint of a book etc.
    In making several 2013 calendars in iPhoto11, I would like to utilize many photos from various trips that are now completely in Aperture 3 - Italy, Oregon and other travels and the idea of importing several thousand & having in both libraries seems much but unable to see where I can share Aperture Preview images w/o importing.
    Is that a correct assumption?
    Thanks....Gene

    Larry - thanks as I had NOT read that article. I have Aperture 3.4.3 and iPhoto '11 9.4.2 so I'm all set there. I had opened the libraries before in each application BUT misunderstood what could or couldn't be done in each application!
    So if I now understand it, I can switch & open my Aperture library in iPhoto (and vice versa also) , have access to the particular project of photos I wish to use in Calendar & Letterpress Cards, make these Calendars & Cards, buy & send off to Apple's Printed Services? Since I don't plan on doing any editing work in iPhoto for these photos, those iPhoto '11 created projects are only viewable there?

  • I've been using Aperture now for the past 7 months and really happy with it, however in the past two days any photos I download are heavily pixelated and blurry. When I download the same shots to any other program they are fine.

    Hi,
    I've been using Aperture now for several months without any issues except for the last couple of days...when I now download my shots from the memory card the photos are heavily pixelated and blurry but when loaded to iPhoto they are fine.
    Can someone tell me what the problem could be and how to fix it.

    Is Aperture doing any processing?  ("Window→Show Activity" -- anything there?)
    Are the Images pixilated/degraded when shown in the Viewer as well as in the Browser?  (Double-click an Image to open it in the Viewer.)
    How 'bout at 100%? (In the Viewer, press "z" to zoom to 100%.  The "z" key toggles the zoom.)
    Does generating a new Preview remove the pixilation?  (Select an Image in the Browser, hold down "{Option}" and click "Photos→Generate Preview".)

    I am using Aperture to make a photo book.  I have about 400 photos in the project that I am selecting from.  I want to use about 70 for the book.  I am allowed to pick and choose photos until I fill 20 pages.  Then when I select add page, I am allowed to select all the pictures in the project.  I am not allowed to select.  I think I hve to change a setting, bt what?  Thanks for the help.

    David, have you enabled the "Autoflow" options? There are settings behind the cogwheel, that will automatically place unused images onto new pages. If you only want to select a few images from a large project, disable these two options:
    Or start your book froman album, that only contains a selection of your images, rather than from the whole project.

  • How to use Aperture 3 Photo to make a card in iPhoto?

    I have been using Aperture 3 exclusively for a couple of years and now I would like to create some cards in the iPhoto Letterpress process using some of these photos. Some would be blank to write a message to family & friends, some Holiday designed cards etc
    When I went to make a birthday card (as a test) to send to a cousin, I wasn't able to create it using the Aperture 3 image I wanted . Do I have to import them into iPhoto?
    Thanks / Gene

    Two ways:
    If you generate previews in Ap 3 then you can share them with the iLife and iWork apps. (AP 3 preferences). Then, in iPhoto go File -> Show Aperture Library. You'll get a Media Browser window. You can then drag an image from there to the  iPhoto Window. This yields your Ap 3 Preview.
    or
    Export from Aperture (File -> Export) to the Finder and then import to iPhoto.

  • Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

    Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • I'm using Aperture for photos on my Mac, I have near 450G of raw photos and I'm running short on space,what is the best option to imrpove proformance and increase space.?

    I use Aperture on my Mac and have approx 450Gigs of raw files for my photos and growing. I'm running short on space and system is starting to slow down. What are the best ooptions to improve performance and increase space space.?

    important to note that what you are talking about is not a backup
    It is simple to ahve your iPhoto library on an external drive -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    And you can have multiple i{Photo libraries - one can be on your internal drive and other on an external drive  --  iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  is a very helpful tool for managing multiple libraries

  • Photos into iMovie without using Aperture or iPhoto?

    Is there a way of accessing photos to bring into iMovie 08 without having to use Aperture or iPhoto? I use Lightroom (although I have both iPhoto and Aperture) and would rather not create new catalogs of my images.

    Is there any way of listing the external drive where the images are located in the "photo" list along with Aperture and iPhoto?
    Yes. To add your "Sample Folder" containing photos, just drag it into the "Folders" item of iMovie's photo list. Now you can access its contents like you can the iPhoto list.

  • Using Aperture with photos in default Photo Folder in OS X (Newbie)

    Hey guys...
    I'm a new Aperture user (1 day) and fairly new to Mac's (5 months). I have a MB Pro with newest OS. Since getting the MBook I've been placing/storing all my photos in /Users/"lastname"/Pictures and then giving each photo "event" a new folder. I first started using iPhoto as an organizer and was not happy with using it. I had used Picasa on my windows machine and it took a few weeks to realize that there was a Mac version for Picasa. It was probably my own fault, but I couldn't figure out how to point iPhoto to my Photos Folder/Directory (maybe its old Windows habits)??? Because of this I installed Picasa and enjoy the easy croping/red eye/face recognition.
    HOWEVER!, I wanted to move on to a real photo editor and got Aperture. Now to my question,,,lol
    If I "import" all my photos that are currently in a folder/directory order, will Aperture create a duplicate library? And if so, do I bite-the-bullet and use Aperture as my one and only photo organizer, verse my old school ways of organizing photo folders on the hard drive and then going to the folders view via Finder to get a photo??
    While writing this I referred to my photo Folder and noticed a iPhoto "library" ...when I click on it, it opens iPhoto and I see photos that I imported these few days I used iPhoto before Picasa. I guess maybe it means I need to get in habit of using the "library" when I want to search out photo for something (emailing, uploading to FB, etc)
    What should I do? Tips?
    Thanks guys!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    and don’t understand why Aperture don’t keep my folders in sync. So if I delete / add a photo to a folder, it does not update the folder in Aperture, as what you would get in Picasa.
    Well the very obvious point is that it's not Picasa and doesn't work like that. Picasa is an attempt to use two databases (the Finder and Picasa) to manage the photos. Aperture simply uses one - the Aperture database. If that's not what you want then don't use it.
    If I keep with Picasa, what’s the real benefit of using Aperture?
    If you cannot see the opportunities that the Aperture offers for organising, and managing your Photos - including most obviously the tight integration with the OS, so that your photos are in every Open... dialogue on your Mac - and if you cannot see the far, far greater opportunities for post processing your Photos offered in Aperture compared to Picasa, then there is no benefit for you.
    If, on the other hand, instead of trying to shoehorn Aperture into your Picasa workflow, you take a few moments to learn how to use it - say by looking at the Aperture tutorials on the Apple site - I think you'll find it's a much more powerful and capable application than your current choice.

  • How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

    How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

    What do you want to achieve? Do you really want to create a copy of an image, and thus create a second copy of the master image file? You will waste disk space this way.
    Usually you would create new versions of an image, if you want versions with different adjustments. Versions do not require much additional disk space. But all versions of an  image have to be in the same project. To create a new version: Main menu bar -> Photos -> Duplicate Version
    To create a copy of an image in another project (and to waste the space ) drag the image to another project while holding down the option key. This will create a copy in the other project.
    Sofar nobody here could come up with a good reason why one would want to create a copy. I am curious what in your workflow requires you to do that. Would you mind to tell us?
