Raw converters in Aperture technical help needed.

my Nikon D80 produces NEF Raw files whilst in aperture it states it is using version 2 raw, however if i put the same photo into Photoshop Elements it is using Raw 4.3.1. Are these raw converters the same thing or has aperture got to catch up and make a version 4 etc. They look about the same and have as many sliders can anybody help me with, i dont understand this raw fully yet.

RAW files are not a standard like JPEGS or TIFFs, and every different piece of software has to 'interpret' the file.
Photoshop's ACR engine has been around longer than Aperture and the software is up to version 4.x, Aperture is up to 2.x - this has absolutely nothing to do with the RAW file, just the software versioning.

Technical help needed for button click

Hi All,
Im new to abap, just now started working in my first project. I need some help and start from you.
In my webdynpro component FPM_OIF_COMPONENT : CNR_VIEW, Participate button is there,
so by default u201CCreate Responseu201C button is grayed out. By clicking the participate button, I need to enable the create response button. For this requirement, I need to create a custom class with two static methods : setvalue and getvalue methods. In that methods I need to set the variable = X, if participate button is pressed. And when loading WDDOMODIFY VIEW method, I need to check the value of the variable, if the value is X, then create response button will be enabled.
For this logic, Can you please frame some sample code.
Or please guide me throug some materials.
Please help me in this regard.
Regards,
Rani.

Hi Rani,
I understand you are new to ABAP basically the webdynpro questions are posted in webdynpro-ABAP, Forums going forward you should adapt the same practice to get a better response.
As you said u201CCreate Responseu201C button is already grayed out it must be already linked to attribute of type wdy_boolean
check the "enable property" of the button.
Coming to your question :
In the "OnAction" event of Participate button write a method for example get value
"Make the attribute" linked to create response button as abap_true hence whenever participate button is pressed it
will make your create response button enabled.
Regards

Camera Raw update 5.5 installation help needed - Elements 7 - windows 8

I had to move my older version 7 of Elements to a new computer with Windows 8. I have to update the raw drivers with Camera Raw 5.5. However, I am unsure how to do it - suggestions?

Follow the steps below:
1. After you download the Camera_Raw_5_6.zip, right click on the zip and press Extract All
2. Right click on the CameraProfiles.exe and press Run as administrator to install the camera raw profiles
3. Then right click on the Camera Raw.8bi and click on Copy
4. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
5. Drag the old Camera Raw.8bi to the Recycle Bin
6. Right click on an empty space in plug-ins folder and press Paste
With any luck camera raw 5.6 should open when you open a camera raw file in the pse 7 editor.

Photomerge with 125 RAW photos, 16 megapixel images, Help Needed

I have 125 raw photos that are 4912*3264 pixels I am trying to photomerge all them using the Cylindrical setting. And it is not working. I have let it go for like 12 hours and nothing is happing. Windows task manager flashes "photoshop not resonding" then it goes away and back and repeats... Processor peaks out only at like 15% after all images load and it starts to process.
I tried going into Preferences and messed with ram allocation etc and other settings.
Using latest PS version
I am using CS6
Windows 8 x64
Intel Core i7 920
18 Gig of Ram
main drive for windows
raid for casch
disk for images
Nvidia GTX 560 HD
Any suggestions?

It might be, that depending how the pano is arranged, that your actually exceeding the 300,000 x300,000 pixel limit in photoshop
if indeed that is still the limit in photoshop cs6.
Or you just don't have enough system resources for a pano (image) of that size.
It's possible you could try to do the pano in sections and then assemble the finished result by hand in photoshop.

Do I need an external raw editor with Aperture?

Sorry for the simple question - I'm an unsophisticated photographer just dipping toes in RAW stuff
Does Aperture have the same functionality as the external RAW editors like Sony Image Data Converter and the various Canon tools etc?
What I am asking is - do I need to install these and use them as external editors or can I achieve mostly the same thing in Aperture on the raw/arw images?
I don't agonise over the detail but I would like to tinker and experiment, but having an extra tool is a bit annoying.
Cheers, Z

Aperture is a generic third party raw converter, like Lightroom, Aftershot, DxO, Capture 1, and several others.
Canon DPP, Sony IDC, etc are specific converters for their own brand of cameras only. As such they offers features that make use of manufacturer knowledge about the raw, the sensors, the lenses, the camera settings and so forth.
The third party solutions like Aperture compete pretty well in terms of the basic raw conversion, but only have limited access to some of the camera specifics, so can't fully compete when it comes to some of the cameras advanced processing options (for example diffraction compensation offered in some recent cameras)
Where third party solutions compete is in their ability to support raw from multiple brands of camera and by providing a much larger set of additional features.
Aperture provides excellent features to support the entire workflow process from initial capture to final publishing.
Its raw conversions are generally excellent in terms of the detail/noise balance. Colour and tone is usually a bit neutral or flat and needs adjusting to taste to make them pop, but the use of presets can make this fast and semi-automatic (contrast this with Lightroom which applies a profile that gives a much punchier default conversion). However, specific results will usually vary by camera; Canon, Sony and Olympus and Fuji conversions are usually well regarded, while Nikon users seem to be the most vocal about apertures flat conversions.
The use of in camera settings (tricks) designed to extend dynamic range can impact the raw processing. Where Aperture can read and understand the settings (like Fuji's DRx00% settings) it does a good job, but I see occasional issues reported from Nikon users about issues when using its ADL feature.
So whether you will need an additional raw tool will ultimately be down to what cameras and lenses you use and you own impressions of what you think of Apertures conversions for that equipment.
Unfortunately, there is no longer a demo version for you to try for yourself, although I've seen some comments here about purchasing and then asking for a refund if you are not happy, but I doubt that is official policy but perhaps contact App store support and ask.
When I bought the wrong Bourne movie in iTunes, at first I thought they'd given me the wrong one and complained. Then I realised it was my mistake so told them to forget the complaint. They emailed back saying they had refunded my purchase as it wasn't what I intended to buy. I've had several other dealings along related lines and I have to say I've never been on the wrong end of one their decisions, they have always played very fair with me.

Aperture 3 Help says it needs Javascript

I've just downloaded the A3 trial onto my MBPro with Leopard 10.5.8. I pulled down the help menu and it says the Help needs to have Javascript enabled.
Where do I enable it? It is enabled in Safari.

I know someone already mentioned the online version, but it would be helpful to know if the people having this problem are able to use the one online. I'm not having any problems with Help so I can't test it.

Also, are you using Safari 3 or 4?

Raw workflow in Aperture 3

I just switched to shooting raw. I'm trying to figure out how to export my raw files after I've tweaked them in Aperture 3. When I export masters, I get the raw version but not the changes. When I export versions, they're jpegs. I'd like to be able to export toned raw files. Is that possible?

I am a wedding photographer so I have to put my files in several places for backup, I can't just leave them in Aperture. As it is now, I burn DVDS of all images shot before I edit and tone as well as back them up in a RAID system. I am just looking for a way to have finished versions of the photos in a format other than jpg stored in the same external hard drives.
The short answer is save 'em as 16 bit TIFF files.
But, with deepest respect, you still don't understand RAW and more importantly, you may have wasted your money on Aperture. For the workflow you are describing, you would be better off with Adobe Bridge and Photoshop Elements. And, I would submit, you are losing time and energy that you could use to shoot more weddings. There are a lot of folks on this forum who really "get" Aperture and would really like to help.
As noted by others, you need to read and understand the opening chapters of the Aperture manual, or better yet, find a copy of Ben Long's old book "Real World Aperture." You are looking at Aperture as a mere RAW "converter" and maybe a file browser - it is much, much more. Ben Long called Aperture an image "appliance" and he is right - imagine an automated library that holds all of your images, all the time, can find any one or group in an instant, and produce an endless stream of JPEGs, CDs, prints, or whatever you want. All the time keeping your old images future proofed - better RAW developer, all of your old images just got better.
In simplest terms, you DO want to leave all of your RAW images in Aperture. (You do want to back these data up using Time Machine, the Aperture Vault, and probably a clone program as well. I use SuperDuper! I keep thirty years of images and memories from some of the more difficult places on earth and I don't want to lose a single one. That is precisely why they are kept in Aperture and not scattered across a bunch of disks. And yes, my Time Machine runs on a RAID.
I can't see why you would insist on converting your nice 12/14 bit images to 8 bits for eternity. What happens when the bride comes back two years from now and wants new prints? And could she have them in B&W and cropped for 13x19, not 4x6. And then she asks if you have any images of one of the bridesmaids, the one you ignored. Faces to the rescue, in seconds.
It is your time and money, but you haven't yet realized how much power Aperture gives you and how much easier it is to use Aperture than to do what you are doing now. D.C. is a tough market, you owe it to yourself to use the best tools you can.
Best wishes!

Working with RAW images in Aperture

I shoot with a Canon DSLR in RAW. I notice that certain adjustments when applied to a RAW file have no effect ie. sharpen, edge sharpen, noise reduction and maybe more.
I suspect that these adjustments are applicable to either a TIFF of JPEG file.
Could you please comment as to the best workflow to get the optimum end result from RAW files?
I Googled "processing raw files in Aperture" and got nothing useful.
Thanks in advance

Hi Kent.
Read through this and the links and some of the links' links.
The choice is:
- use the computer in your camera, via your camera interface, camera to produce JPGs, or
- record sensor data to RAW files, and use RAW converters and image development programs such as Aperture (or Lightroom) running on your computer hardware.
RAW generally starts in a fairly "uninflected" state, and always gives you maximum latitude for development.
JGP is faster.
Imho, the only reason to shoot JPG is either that you are producing snapshots or you are under professional deadlines.
Added:
The best RAW workflow: record RAW only. Import into Aperture. Develop each Image to your needs. You may wish to change the RAW Fine Tuning defaults, but the need for this is rare. More likely, you'll wish to develop and save some Adjustment Presets (collections of Adjustments you can apply together).

Help needed with CVI real time

Hi,
I am new to CVI real time and need help related to this. I will explain my scenario:
1. I have few configuration files (INI). Need to validate the files (range checking..etc) during start of the application.
2. When user clicks "START" in the user interface on the host machine, I need to generate outputs (analogs/discretes...) based on the settings in the config file and read some inputs from other instruments. ( I/O tasks like generating outputs/reading inputs i am planning to perform in RT side)
3. From the user interface, user can also change the config files. if user changes the files, again file validation needs to be performed. After changing the files, if user clicks START, need to take the newly enetered config files to perfom I/O tasks.
4. I am NOT using reflective memory for my application.
I am confused in the following area:
1. File validation during startup , do i have to perform on both host and RT side?????
2. if configuration files are changed in the host side by the user, how i have to send this latest file names to RT??? I think i should not send file names, i need to read from the file and its contents i need to pass to RT....Pls correct me , I am not sure about this....
3. If I have to send file contents to the RT, how I have to do that....means i have to use structures,..???
Please guide me. Any help would be highly appreciated.

haari
Solved!

Hey haari,
1. File validation during startup , do I have to perform on both host and RT side?????
This depends on the full range of responsibility for the INI files. If they are all needed simply to change what the I/O tasks are for, then you would technically only need to validate the INI file contents on the RT side. You could, however, validate on both sides if you wanted to. However, I would probably set it up such that I send a validation command to the target, have the target run a component of the code that validates the INI contents based on how I instructed it, and then return a message that says whether or not it met the requirements I specified. However, if you are concerned with offloading that process to the user desktop (instead weighing down the RT controller performance), you could FTP the file off of the controller and perform the validation process on the host side.
2. if configuration files are changed in the host side by the user, how i have to send this latest file names to RT??? I think i should not send file names, i need to read from the file and its contents i need to pass to RT....Pls correct me , I am not sure about this....
You can send them to the target over FTP. This can be done programmatically, through MAX, command window, or a Web browser.
3. If I have to send file contents to the RT, how I have to do that....means i have to use structures,..???
This is basically addressed in answer to question two. You would not need another structure in your RT code to handle the FTP receive component as this is handled by the FTP Client/Server communication. However, in the event that you successfully FTP a file to the target, you should likely send a message from the host to the target so that the target can respond accordingly and reload the file, reestablish the I/O values, run an idle procedure, or do whatever you like.
Hope this helps. Have a great day!

I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

Hello everyone
I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
Hope you guys can help me!

You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

Can I edit my RAW files from Aperture in Adobe Camera Raw in CS5?

I like Aperture for organizing my files and doing simple adjustments. I purchased CS5 and will be taking a class to learn more complex editing. Is there a way to store my photos in Aperture and get them into CS5's Camera Raw in the RAW format? When I try to do that they are tiff or jpg.

In the preferences you are able to select which file type you would like to export to an external editor, the assumption is that you have made basic corrections and accept the RAW processing in Aperture so want to work with a tif or jpeg.
If you are wanting to start from you camera RAW file, ie no processing, you will need to actually export the master file and work from it.

Panasonic Lumex DMC-LX1 raw conversion for Aperture doesn't work.

I've seen many people having raw conversion problems. Direct import of Lumex raw files to Aperture does not work.
Adobe DNG conversion of raw to dng does not work.
I'm running on Photoshop CS.
Perhaps my DNG conversion settings aren't right? Tell me what they should be.
Do I have to go as far as changing the raw.plist or whatever it's called.
Would CS2 with the Raw conversion Plug-in work instead?

Joe,
good to see that you are reading these posts. I am sure that many users whose cameras' raw files are currently not supported by Aperture would love to help out in any way they can.
However, as we are living in a converging world, why doesn't Apple talk with Adobe and share some of the information used for RAW conversion? I'm thinking dcraw which (according to a note in its source code*) is using data provided by Adobe... and that same data is also contained in the Raw.plist.
Thus, if Adobe knows something and shares it with dcraw, and Apple uses some of the dcraw code (at least the m2 matrices found in Raw.plist are equal to the dcraw ones), why can't you guys all share the same information, and thus speed up RAW support for all cameras?
Just a thought.
Kindest regards,
Karl

Raw files in aperture photo books

Hi,
I'm creating my first aperture photo book. I uploaded raw files to aperture, made adjustments, and then placed the versions into the book. It is these versions (with all crops, adjustments, etc.) that will show up in my photo book, correct? (That's what it looks like when I preview the book, but I just want to make sure I didn't need to convert them to jpeg or anything before I spend over $100 on this book!)
Thanks!

When you create a version in Aperture it automatically creates a jpeg, so you don't have to do anything else. It is all automatic.
