Photo Stream import directly into Library (consolidated)?

I have just started using Photo Stream with Aperture and it's a wonderful feature, however something prompted me to look for the original photo and I couldn't see the usual "Open in Finder" option, which said to me it was Consolodated. Now, I don't mind, because I Consolidate my Library anyway, but was wondering if this actually happened.
It seems that the guide here is a little out of date now as Adjustments can be performed on the streamed photos without "importing" them, however that's achieved?
ref: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/11/06/deep-dive-aperture-and-photo-stream-how-do-they-w ork/
I was able to export the photo, as one normally would with a Consolidated Library, but I am wondering if that was from an online supposerty or not?
Anyway, if the Photos are Consolidated then that is yet another step taken care of and I am certainly greatful for that, not least because all iOS devices capture GPS info too, things just get better!
If someone can clear this up for me that would be great, thanks.

The confusion is due to your use of Photo Stream image : When you (auto)-import from the Photo Stream you have two different image versions - the Photo Stream copy of the image and the imported image, that is no longer in the stream. And as Frank Caggiano says, you can only edit the imported image version in your Aperture library, not the Photo Stream image. Trying to edit a Photo Stream image will result in this message - at least, that is what I see in my library:
"This photo is in Photo Stream and cannot be edited. You may edit the last imported version in your library."
A photo Stream image is not part of the Aperture library - it can only be browsed using Aperture.
To convince yourself, that the imported image is truely managed and not referenced, select the monthly imported project and set a filter in the search field with the rule: "File status is managed".
All images in the project should still be showing and not be removed by the filter.
Frank Caggiano I think you're confused. The images are in the Stream, they are always there, but they appear (as in William Lloyd's photo example) in Aperture, yes I do have them set to be imported, but they very well couldn't be seen within Aperture unless I did so.
It is still not clear from your post, where you are trying to view the Photo images:
In the "Web > Photo Stream" section of the library inspector, where the Photo Stream can be viewed,
Or in the "Projects" section, where you can browse the images that have been imported to Aperture.
Are you saying, that the "Web > Photo Stream" section of the Library Inspector did not show your Photo Stream images, until you enabled automatic import?

How do i get photos to save directly into my cloud not just my phone?

i purchased extra room on my iCloud and turned on photo stream on my devices. i did this so my photos would be stored on the cloud because i always run out of storage on my phone. firstly, how do i get pictures to start automatically saving into the photo stream? and how do i get photos to save directly into the cloud and not just on my device? I have my cloud connected between my macbook, ipad and iphone. i have mountain lion on my macbook, my ipad was just purchased last week so should be up to date, and have downloaded and installed the most up to date software on my phone.

Hello zampass,
Photos do not take up space on your iCloud storage. Photo Stream is seperate from iCloud storage.
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage.
From: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
I would recommend turning on Photo Stream, outlined in the same FAQ:
How do I turn on Photo Stream?
Once your devices are up to date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy turn on Photo Stream on any of your devices. Here’s how:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button to verify that both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are enabled. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
And tell iPhoto to automatically Import the photos to the computer from Photo Stream in the iPhoto Preferences:
That way your Photo stream items will always Automatically download to your computer and you can sync them to whatever device you choose.
When all that is setup, you can delete newer photos as you take them or periodically from the Camera Roll to free up space.
Keep this in mind from the FAQ:
What photo formats does Photo Stream support?
Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. Photo Stream does not work with video.
Take care,
Sterling

Configuration to allow a LEDES file to be imported directly into AP

Does anyone know if there is any configuration possible to allow a LEDES (Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standard) file to be imported directly into SAP Accounts Payable?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Problem solved ............ as I sort of suspected.
Today I acquired another card reader and guess what, FCP X imports the 50p footage perfectly.
The findings I get with my Panasonic SD800, which are probably representative of most cameras are as follows:-
1. When the camera is plugged into my iMac, FCP X will only recognise and import normal AVCHD video but not 1080/50p even when shot on a separate card.
2. With the SDHC card plugged into a card reader, FCP X recognises and imports 1080/50p
3. Also when using the card reader, there is no problem mixing AVCHD and 1080/50p on the same card as FCP X recognises both sets of clips simultaneously.

Recording Streaming Audio Directly into Logic 8?

Is it possible to record streaming audio directly into Logic 8. I would like to grab some sound bites from web sites and various other places and lay them down as Audio tracks in Logic 8.
I know WireTap Pro will do it for $30 but I wonder if I could just do it in Logic.
Again, thank you for your time.

Or you could also use the loopback trick and just plug your interface's outputs >into it's inputs - be careful of your routing to avoid feedback though...
Hi Bee Jay .. I wonder if you would mind advising on this setup:
Normally I hear everything that comes out of the computer via the following route:
Out of computer via Firewire and into Motu828
Then out of Motu 828 and into Mixer channels 1 & 2 which are set to Monitor only. ie I hear all audio ( including streaming audio from computer) through my monitor speakers and the signal does not go back into Logic.
All the other mixer channels (3 - 16) I use for recording. Mics and line inputs routing these back into the MOTU (and then the computer) by buttons on the individual channel of the mixer. ie If the button is up on a particular mixer channel it comes out the speakers and does not record in Logic. If the button is down then that channel records into Logic (via a loom into the MOTU).
I was warned on no account to press the buttons down on channels 1 & 2 ( because those were the main outs to monitor Logic's signal ) ...
But that if I *switched off the channel output in Logic channel strip* - then I could press down those buttons on Channel 1 and 2 and route whatever audio was coming out of the computer ( iTunes, You Tube etc) back into Logic to record.
I did this some time ago and it worked ... but for some reason, now even though I have the Logic Channel outputs switched off, I still get the most horrendous howling feedback if I try to record Streaming Audio or iTunes.
If you or anyone else has advice on what would be causing this, I would be most grateful

I used to see a monthly "Feb 2014" photo stream category in my library for each month. Now all of my photo stream photos (from my iPhone) are under "iCloud" under "Sharing" and I don't know how to get my pix out of there and separate them into libraries

My computer has changed how it accepts photos from my phone. They used to post into a library by the month and year, e.g., "Feb 2014 photo stream," but now all of the photos from my phone for the past year or so are lumped together into the "Shared" section under "photo stream." I did not put them there (that I know of) and now don't know how to get them out and into a library where I can categorize them.

The monthly events "Feb2014" will show you all photos that have been imported from "My Photo STream", if you have enabled "Automatic Import" in the "Preferences > iCloud" tab.
The albums you are seeing under "iCloud" are the "Shared Photo Streams" and "My Photo Stream". To import from your "Shared Streams" drag the photos frommthe Shared Streams album to the Projects in the library panel.

In iPhoto, moving Photo Stream from 'recents' to 'library'

As per the title.
In iPhoto, I have Photo Stream set up fine (ish). I want all my photos to be imported to iPhoto but I want them in a folder of their own. I have set up a smart folder to import any photos that are named 'IMG_'. This works if I choose for photo stream to be automatically imported into photos, events and places etc (which eventually I want to turn off but still have them smartly imported).
However, I've found it only smartly imports photos from any albums under the Library tab, and not from the Recents tab (where photo stream is). Therefore, is there any way to move the location of photo stream from Recents to under Library instead?
Many thanks for replies or work around solutions on how to do this.
Lewis

'Recents' are just some handy shortcuts to material frequently (or recently) accessed. The last couple of items, the last import and so on. Again, it's not a place, it's a list. The Photostream is a link to the items in the stream - stored in your Users/Library Application Support (you can see this simply by going File -> Reveal in Finder), but the Photostream Events point directly to material stored in the Library Package.
I would like my photo stream photos imported into an album other than the general Photos album in my library.
You're going to need to clarify terms a little. You're using folders and albums interchangeably and they're not the same thing, and sometimes you're using either to refer to Events.
Every Photo is in the LIbrary.
The Library can be viewed in wo ways: via Events or Photos. That's exactly the same material viewed from different perspectives.
Every photo in the Library is in an Event, and these correspond to the folders they are stored in on the HD, at time of import (though this can change, shots moved from Event to Event do not move on the HD)
Albums are arbitrary collections created by the user. You decide what photos are in an Album. Photos in an Album reference the actual shots in the Library. They don't use any extra disk space.
Folders cannot contain Photos. They can contain Albums or other Folders.
So, if you can clarify exactly what you're hoping for perhaps we can figure out a way to achieve it.

Photo Stream images deleted from library!

Recently, on launch, Aperture reported that Photo Stream was not enabled (even though I had not changed settings since enabling). I (re)enabled it, but after doing so, only the most recent photos (for the past month or so) were recognized as being in the stream (even though aproximately an additional month's photos are still indicated as being in my stream on all my iOS devices — at least for the time being). More importantly (and clearly a SERIOUS BUG): all the missong photos that had already been downloaded to my Aperture library ("automatic import" is checked in preferences) were gone, not only from the library, but also deleted from all the albums (e.g. flickr, facebook) to which they had been published.
Is Photo Stream working? Automatic deletion of photos, including shared photos) seems like a big problem!

Yep, I and others have noticed it too. There's another thread here on the issue.
I am not talking about the Photstream shutting itself off issue (which IS happening for some people, but not me), but the situation wherein photos that have been automatically imported into "Oct. 2011 Photo Stream," "Nov 2011 Photo Stream," etc., disappear when their Photostream counterparts disappear. This essentially negates the entire usefulness of Photo Stream.
I have used one workaround, albeit a cumbersome one: rebuild your Aperture Library (hold down on command and option while double clicking on your Library to open Aperture). Your lost photos should show up in a "Recovered Photos" folder. I think this works because the masters that have been auto-imported from Photo Stream aren't really deleted from Aperture.
I hope Apple recognizes the problem and fixes it. There doesn't seem to be a big uproar about it, though. :-/

Crashes while importing TIFFs. Also, how to import directly into an album?

Just got Aperture last night in the mail. Upgraded to 1.1.1.
I have about 250 CDs with TIFF images that I've created over the years. The TIFF files were created by a Nikon film scanner. Some of those images were later re-touched and re-saved using Photoshop.
In any event, I started importing all those CDs into Aperture to consolidate all my photographs in one place. On the first CD, Aperture crashed unexpectedly for no reason. The Aperture database would also get corrupted and I would have to delete it, and start from scratch.
Here's what I discovered. If I wait for Aperture to generate a thumbnail of all the images in the CD before I click on the "Import All" button, there are four images in the CD for which Aperture does not generate a thumbnail. Furthermore, if I tried to import the same CD into iPhoto, all files but those four would get imported. At least iPhoto doesn't crash, and after the import is finished it would tell me that four photographs could not be imported because the format was not recognized. The interesting thing is that Photoshop can open every single file on the CD (again, all of them are TIFF images)
So my (painful) workaround is to import all my CDs into iPhoto first, and then import into Aperture from iPhoto, which works very well. That way the Aperture repository doesn't get corrupted.
So, question 1: does anybody know if there's a special setting in Aperture that would stop it from crashing and gracefuly skip over any photographs that it can't recognize?
Question 2: I want to import every single CD into its own album so I later know what CD I can find the image on. Aperture seems to import always onto the project, not the album. Is there a way around this?
When I import into iPhoto, I create an empty album and then drag the files from the CD onto that album. If I then import the iPhoto album into Aperture, Aperture automatically creates an album, which is nice. I'd love to do the same but with iPhoto out of the picture (excuse the pun). That would speed up the import process tremendously.
Thanks for your help,
Julian

Are there two questions here?
1. You can indeed create an album under a Project in advance and Import direct to that. One Album per CD? Works fine. Just point the Import Arrow at the Album. NOTE: the Masters are actually held in the Project (this is true across Aperture) and Pointers are held in the Album .... but the effect is of Albums with photos > Project containing all the photos.
2. These TIF files are not corrupt, if Photoshop or iPhoto opens them. This has got to be an Aperture bug and I have the same issues with TIF's. Created a thread about it, so I hope the Aperture development team did read it (please, please, please). You could convert in Photoshop to .PSD vs. resaving (unless this is what you did) as I haven't noted this problem with .PSD files

Why are photos in my Photo Stream not in my Library?

I have severak photos in my Photo Stream that are not showing in my Library. Even after clicking show in Library the photo doesn't show. Any thoughts?

something is wrong
we need you to give us details to be able to help as we can not see yoru or your computer and only know wha tyou tell us
I could be anything from the wrong version of the OS or of iPhoto or not having auto import set or not having the PS turned on or photos being over 30 dats old or a thousand other reasons - with no information any thing is a wild guess

Why do I have all the photos streamed from my desktop library in a photostream album in my desktop library as well

I've just noticed that all the photos that are in my main iPhoto library are now also in the Photo Stream album. Have they been streamed to my devices and then streamed back? Or does iPhoto set up a separate album for photos to be streamed?

Because you have this checked in iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences:
Uncheck that checkbox. Go into your Photo Stream in iPhoto, select the photos you don't want on your mobile devices, do a Control (right) - click and select Delete from Photo Stream from the contextual menu:

Is there an easier way? Import directly into a playlist?

I am in the middle of ripping all of my 5000+ cd's into iTunes as Apple Lossless files. I'm creating a music server with a Mac Mini, a few 1TB firewire hard drives & a Fubar II dac. I have about 500 done so far and it is becoming a handful. I insist on using playlists because I listen to lots of weird music with a lot of the artists using aliases so I want to be able to group them all together.
This is what I've been doing. I create a few hundred blank playlists. I import my cd making any changes first using command & I. I then scroll down to where all the untitled playlists are. I then have to scroll all the way to where the songs that were imported are listed alphabetically.I choose them using shift & the mouse dragging them to an untitled playlist. I do it this way because if I found by titling the playlist while it was importing and placing it where it sits alphabetically I was taking to much time trying to drag those tracks to the correct playlist. I was also occasionally dropping them in the wrong playlist altogether.
Is there really no way to automatically create a playlist using the artist and album info that you set up or what is automatically generated with cddb? Or can I really not create what I want my playlist to be titled and import the cd directly into it? I can't seem to solve this by using a smart playlist either. Any recommendations?

Here's what I've been doing for years. Its against the grain but so what.
I have 10,000 ripped files. From this I selected 2265 mp3 files(call these my Favorites) which always get "added to library" whenever I re-do my computer(s) which is very often(my hobby).
I use the Finder to organize my Music first not itunes. So I make folders and call them for example Metal, Jazz, etc ...within these folders become Artist names for example Beatles, Who , etc....I delete anything that is ahead of the name of the song(such as track number, its embedded anyway), Why? so it fits better in the smallish 'window' of music car player, etc...So what do I have ? A folder with 2265 mp3 files without track numbers and only my favorite mp3 files.
When I re-do the computer I just set up itunes always unchecking in "advanced preferences" for it to organize and make copies. I do that not itunes. I add to the library. Wait for itunes to do its thing. Set the view options. The only ones I do are, Artist, Album, bitrate, size, Grouping, time & equalizer.
Once the add is done I do that not itunes automatically, I focus on the Grouping. Examples are Metal, Folk, Smooth Jazz, etc I set these up years ago using itunes. The mp3 hold these id tags except equalizer. I select the Grouping column to arrange the sort, takes 1 second. Then do a select all by grouping and an command + i to set each Grouping equalizer all in one shot. When Equalizer function is completed for all the files then I make playlists. My Playlist is the same name as Grouping, for example Metal Grouping gets Metal playlist. That way I can find the entire Group of Metal and drag them to the playlist. All this sounds complicated, but how to explain? The entire process when I re-do my Mac takes 5 to 10 minutes. The hard work is setting up your MP3 files in the Finder but once done you only need to back up those files. iTunes is out of it. Lastly make sure you id3 tag your files when done in the itunes library using view and setting options. Make sure you drag these tagged files back to your original drive where you back them up. So they retain their tags you gve them.
Hope this helps

Photo Stream Uploading my Entire Library

Just installed Aperture looked around and before I knew what was going on Aperture went on its merry business trying to upload over 40 GB worth of pictures (many not even recent). I caught it after only a few HUNDRED images were clogged up in my photo stream.
Even if I disable automatic upload it still seems to want to finish the upload of the whole library it started, how do I fix this?
How do I get all these pictures from the early 2000s that were on my Mac out of my photo stream?

Photo Stream can only hold 1000 most recently added pictures, so it will not upload your whole library, unless these are less than 1000 images.
Even if I disable automatic upload it still seems to want to finish the upload of the whole library it started, how do I fix this?
This is unusual - disabling automatic upload should stop it. Try to open the "Activity" Viewer -
Window -> Show Activity
Here you can delete pending processes.
How do I get all these pictures from the early 2000s that were on my Mac out of my photo stream?
They will vanish on their own, after adding further 1000 images
You can delete them from the Photo Stream by selecting the "Photos Stream" in Aperture, then selecting the images you added, ctrl-click the selection and choose "Delete from Photo Stream" from the pop-up menu.
If you sync other devices with Photo Stream you may need to repeat this procedure on the other devices.

IFrame import DIRECTLY into iMovie 11

How do I import iFrame video DIRECTLY into iMovie 11? I recently upgraded from iMovie 09 to iMovie 11. Also, I bought a new camera (Canon) and it has
iFrame. I recorded a test video in the iFrame mode. I opened iMovie. If there is a way to get iMovie to grab the video directly from the camera, I cannot find it. Previously I used a Panasonic Lumix. iMovie 09 would grab the AVCHD directly from the camera. I found a workaround to get the iFrame directly into iMovie, but it entails an extra step. (the iFrame video showed up in Iphoto 11 along with the stills. I then moved it from IPhoto to imovie via the desktop.)
Surely there is a way for iMovie 11 to grab the video directly from the camera, and I am missing it. I am running Mt. Lion. Please help. Thank you.

I drag the movie from iPhoto to the desktop. Then, in iMovie, I use the "file" dropdown menu. From that menu, I select "Import" and then I select "Movie" and then I select the movie that I have just dragged to the desktop. It would be easier if I could drag the desktop movie directly into my iMovie, but it will not drag.

Photo Stream and my iPhoto Library

When a photo shows up on my MacBook Pro or iMac and it says Photo Stream next to the photo name can I be confident it is saved to my library and won't be dropped by iCloud when I exceed 1000 photos or 30 days?

Thanks for the response. Now, I have several differenat feeds to my library (iPhone synch, digital camera download and Photo Stream). It can get confusing as to which was the source for a given picture. A few pictures automatically say Photo Stream in the title along with the date. Can I assume these are photos that came from Photo Stream, and therefore should be moved to an album?

WIA import direct into Photoshop *NO FILE CREATED*

This is driving me nuts and I cannot seem to find anything regarding it. I'd use TWAIN happily, but my scanner doesn't seem to have a 64-bit twain driver. So I'm stuck with WIA. But, the thing that drives me crazy is that WIA always creates the file with an arbitrary name and format which I always end up having to delete later. I much preferred the old TWAIN method that just scanned it directly to Photoshop without any file made until you saved it from Photoshop. So, this may actually be more of a Windows M$ question than Photoshop, but I'm giving it a shot here.
Is there anyway to scan directly into Photoshop CS4 64-bit without WIA creating a file at all?

There are no 64 bit TWAIN drivers on Windows.
I think the WIA interface from Microsoft always creates an intermediary file.
