RAW to Jpeg quality looks fine in Aperture not so good on Web page
I am using the latest version of Aperture with the Retina display. The Raw images look tremendous, after I resize the image and save it to jpeg the image still looks good. When I upload to a web page the image looks horrible. There is a lot of noise and the image over all looks blurred. I open it in Aperture and it looks fine. What is the issue? I have tried the different settings when saving the image and nothing works. I have also saved the image in a tif format and still the same issue. Looks great in aperture not so great on the web. Please help if possible.
Your site is likely re-sampling your file, perhaps because it is too large. Ask the Webmaster what size and quality to make the JPGs, and export to that. There may also be a browser issue.
If you provide some details re: exactly how your are exporting, which site you are using, how the JPG is used, etc., someone here may be able to provide additional guidance -- but this seems to be a Web question, as Aperture -- from what you say -- is working well for you.

TS3946 Aperture Book: images look fine in Aperture but not in PDF preview. OS 10.9, Aperture 3.4.5
Aperture 3.4.5, OS 10.9. When making a PDF prior to ordering a book, I note that images look fine within Aperture book module, but about 10 out of 100 images look terrible in the PDF. Shall I ignore this and go ahead and order the book?
Hi,
Strangely I'm now having exactly the same problem all of a sudden. I've been building the book for about a month now (I've made about 6 before without any trouble) and along the way have been producing a pdf of the book to see how it will look. Yesterday I noticed some of the images seemed to have lost colour when looking at the pdf version and then today, many pictures all of a sudden look exactly like the example you've supplied above.
I've tried shutting down my imac and restarting thinking it was a memory issue, have checked if I had any filters activated (which I don't and I haven't used filters in books before either), have tried repairing then rebuilding aperture, copying the book to a new library, new location, opening on a different mac and then printing again but none of this had any positive effect.
So from what I understand from your last post, the workaround you came up with was to revert to the original of each image that had the problem and then make the adjustments again? -
Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.
Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

Swap Image Looks fine in Firefox, not Safari? Can Javascript be an issue in Safari?
Hi, Im new to web design as you may guess.
I'm trying to put together a website navigation page with several swap image div tags. When I view the page in Firefox it looks fine, after the behavior is applied the page doesn't view at all in safari?
Can anyone please help with this?

Aperture 3.4 - screwed up web page creation?
I just opened Aperture after taking the upgrade yesterday, and attempted to build a web page form a selection of images (which I have done dozens of times before).
Now, however, when I select a Theme (any theme, it turns out) and indicate to add the selected images to the web page (or journal, for that matter), all I get is a blank page - the "teme" stuff is nonexistant. What did the gang in Cupertino do here? Is there some new setting I cannot find?I just opened Aperture after taking the upgrade yesterday, and attempted to build a web page form a selection of images (which I have done dozens of times before).

How do you set the quality of the jpeg file. iphoto makes a jpg copy of the raw file, that jpg file is very small eg: 5.0meg raw 700k jpg. How do I change the compression so I get a bigger file or lose less quality. Shot some beach pictures for a friend of her family, gave her a disk with the jpg's on it. She took It and had some 8x10 made, they were all pixilated and fuzzy. But the 4x6 I printed at home were great. Can any one explain?
When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a jepg preview of the file. Why? Because you cannot do anything with a Raw: you cannot print it, use it a slideshow and so on. However, with this preview you can work with the photo immediately.
My guess is that this is what you gave to your friend and printed.
You can, however, also process the Raw in iPhoto simply by editing it. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut). The output from the processing then replaces the preview. You can choose to save your output as either jpeg or tiff in the iPhoto Preferences.
Try save a processed Raw as tiff, see if that solves your quality issue.
When you are processing Raw in iPhoto you will see the Raw badge on the bottom of the iPhoto Window
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Note: After you have processed a Raw, subsequent edits to the photo are carried out on the processed jpeg (or tiff) not the Raw. If you want to go back to the original then you need to use the Photos -> Reprocess Raw command.

My web page looks fine in Safari, not in Firefox...?
Hi!
When I look at my website ( http://www.visitnafplio.net ) in Safari, it displays the pages just as I made them in iWeb, but in Firefox stuff keeps moving to the wrong pages.
I've asked a couple of friends to check it on their computers, and they have the same result.
Can someone please tell my why, and if there is anything to do about this? The page is in Norwegian, but if you check for instance this page http://www.visitnafplio.net/visitnafplio.net/Nafplio/Nafplio.html
you can se that the date under each sub-heading is hidden in Safari (as they should be), but not so in Firefox.
Thank you for any help!Nobody?
The problem is mainly that I have added small squares in the background colour to hide the date from the blog entries (it is not a blog). These squares don't stay in their right place in Firefox. If I could hide the dates in some other way the problem would be solved.
I see other people in the forum are having the same problem, and the answers (something about .ccs-files) was totally Greek to me. I can't even find these files.
Yes, I'm an idiot -
Video plays fine in quicktime, not so good on the iPod.
I downloaded couple a of tv shows that were already in an .mp4 format and the resolution was already configured so it would play on an iPod without any converting. I dragged and dropped the files and I was ready to start watching. I starting watching my tv show and it played fine for the 1st 30 seconds. Then the playback would freeze for a good 3 to 5 seconds. It would then start playing again, however without sound. The only way I can get sound back is if i rewind the playback a second or 2 and then hit play. The sound will come back for another 30 seconds and then would freeze and loose sound thus continuing the annoying circle. I've taken the original file that I downloaded from BitComent and converted it using videodora and copied it to my pod. Same problem as before. Anyone have any ideas? I just find it odd that quicktime plays it without any problem, but the ipod looses it.
This sounds like a problem with the iPod software, specifically version 1.1. Try this to go back to software version 1.0, which should fix the issue...
Here are more detailed instructions on how to go back to 1.0, especially if you bought your iPod in the last couple of months and it came with 1.1.
First, please download the older version of the iPod Updater here...
http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
Now install that updater and restart your computer.
Now open the iPod updater (Start-->all programs-->iPod and find the iPod updater you just installed
Open the iPod Updater and connect your iPod. With that older version of the iPod updater you just installed, restore your iPod by clicking restore.
The iPod will restore and go back to software version 1.0. Now reload everything back into iTunes.
If you don't want to restore, see this...

Speaker quality in 17" 2011 model not as good as 2008 model
So having been the owner of an early 2008 model 17" Macbook Pro, I became somewhat accustomed to its ability to faithfully reproduce audio with a crystal clear and full-bodied sound.
Since then, I've picked up the newer 2011 model 17" MBP, and to my dismay have found that while the sound is 'acceptable' it is by no means as good as the earlier non-unibody speakers. In fact, by comparison the low-mid range frequencies really are understated.
So either, I've got dud speakers.. or Apple have skimped on the newer machines.
I suppose it may also have been a design choice, as I suppose everybody has different ideas of what sounds 'good'.
What I'm wondering is.. Can I retrofit my old speakers into the 2011 unibody enclosure? I know not of the internals of these machines, but I suspect they are somewhat different.
Thanks for any advice.I'd totally forgotten about this until I got a notification that you had replied.
I no longer have this problem.vaguely remember calling up Crucial (who make my second SSD) and they said something about leaving the machine on, but not doing anything on it for 24 hours or something. So it has to stay switched on, not go to sleep (dim your screen though) and don't touch your keyboard or mouse for a full 24 hours... maybe it was a bit longer... maybe it had to be at the login screen (can't remember)... and in this time it will run some automatic repair thing.
It was so long ago I really can't remember the spcifics - but have a hunt around for things to that effect. Or call Apple/Crucial and mention what I've just said, see if it makes any sense to them and get them to advise the exact corect procedure. -
Suspected bug with RAW to jpeg conversion
When clicking done on a RAW image (or double clicking it) in iphoto, why is it that sometimes it works and other times it doesn't?
It seems to work if you make changes to the image but if you merely want to turn it into a jpeg so that you can export it to something like flickr it doesn't seem to work.
This means when I drag my images to flickr export it only accepts jpegs so half my album is not publishable to the web - or viewable by anything outside of iphoto.
Any suggestions?This is the adjustments in "Basic" and "Detail" including the "Before RAW"
After that I hit "Open Image" and then saved it without further adjustments as JPEG, Quality 10. The result of the JPEG when I open it from the Photoshop Organizer is this which I find very noisy.
The disturbing part though is, that the JPEG looks as follows when I search for the JEPG file itself and open it through Picasa viewer. It has way fewer image noise I think. -
D700 Files Look Terrible in Aperture
OK - what's the deal here. I have been using Aperture forever... now that I have a D700, all my files look over exposed only in Aperture. When i hit full screen, the file at first looks beautiful - then suddenly it changes to an image that looks over exposed and flat. What's going on>?
I'm looking to get a D700 in the near future, and after reading several posts like this on the Apple forums I decided to give the 'overexposure' problem a look.
I downloaded several sample photos (most supplied by users on the forums here) and imported them into Aperture. I noticed the problem described (preview looks fine until Aperture finishes loading the RAW) and saw that the thumbnail in the Finder looks OK, Quick Preview is bad, Aperture preview is OK, Aperture full is bad.
Reducing the Boost option under RAW Fine Tuning significantly reduced the problem. It is my belief that Apple simply has FUBAR default settings for the RAW conversion of D700 images.

Backups of raw and Jpeg images
I currently backup my iphoto library via time machine and keep a second copy of another USB HD. However the backup is the iphoto library, how do I back up the raw and jpeg images so that they are not within the library so that I could access them from a non apple pc?
I just would like the added security.
Thanks
PeterYou'll need to export them from the Library.
Select an Event or Album in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue you have a number of options:
From the dropdown you can select the Kind to export:
Originals will get you exactly that: the original files. These will be the contents of the Event as per the iPhoto Window.
Current will get you the most recent versions of the files: a mix of edited and unedited pics. Again, the contents as per the iPhoto Window.
Tiff and Jpeg options allow you to export the current versions in those formats and you can the metadata - tiles, keywords, descriptions and locations - to the files on export.
PnG does not have the option to write the metadata as that format has very limited support for it.
There are other options for file size and naming and so on.

Images pixelated in Aperture, not iPhoto?
I have been importing all my images to Aperture from an external drive, and all is going well. My problems is some of my images are pixelated when viewing them in Aperture. When I open iPhoto though and view my Aperture library in iPhoto the images look normal. I have not imported them to iPhoto, I am just curious what is going on here? I am an Aperture beginner so I am lost as to why this is happening? Hope that make sense. It is kind of hard to explain what is happening.
Thanks for any help in advance,
ChristopherRe: Images pixelated in Aperture, not iPhoto.
I am having a similar problem but instead of iPhoto, its Bridge. The same exact photo that I opened in
Aperture at 100% is quite pixelated yet when opened in Bridge, it is not. I am using Aperture 3.2.2, on a
MacPro 2x3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon w/ 9GB Ram, running 10.6.8. I thought it might have something to
do with the graphics card. I have the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. When I copied the same raw file to my 13" Mac
BookPro with a NVIDI GeForce 9400M Graphics card, the photo looked fine in Aperture. Since Aperture is so graphics card intensive, is it possible that it needs a better graphics card? If so, is there a better one I could install in my MacPro?
Thanks for any help.

I use 2 great cameras, download them to iphoto, and now trying aperture. I edit the photos, they look fine, order pictures, and they are terrible! Looks like there's a gray haze on them, their dark, color is awful. Please help me out here!

What is the color space of the image? If it is AdobeRGB, try using sRGB. -
I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
