Reconnecting raw images in aperture

If my main image hard-drive gets erased, and I re-import all the cards, how does aperture know where to find the images? I see all the information, but the images aren't there. When I connect the new drive, it only finds half the images.

You may need to select "reconnect masters."

Is there any way to invert raw images in Aperture.

I am "scanning" a lot of old slides and negatives with a SLR camera using an old professional slide duplicator.
It is very fast and effective with slides and I have tried with negatives. It goes very well except for I have to invert the negative image in Photoshop and even in 16 bit theres at lot less quality left when I save it back in Aperture for the last color correction.
The solution would be to be able to do the inversion from negative to positive image i full raw quality inside Aperture.
Does anyone know if there is at "trick" to invert the raw-image in Aperture?

There is not. Inversion is more a rewrite than an adjustment -- best done between the scan and importing, imho.

I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?
Thanks,

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

Why when I upload a raw image to Aperture

Why when I upload a raw image to Aperture (23.5mb) and make enhancements to it, then when I export it the size drops drastically (2.1mb)?

This totally depends on your export settings. RAW files are minimally compressed, JPEG files are very compressed. What output size are you using, and what JPEG compression settings? Note 8-10 for JPEG compression is the sweet spot between quality and filesize. I personally use 10.

Blurred S-RAW images in Aperture 3.3.2

Beginner here so please have patience if I'm doing something stupidly wrong :
I downloaded some holiday photos from my new EOS7D into Aperture 3.3.2 (latest update) running on OSX10.8, the images are canon S-RAW format which I believe is supported by this version of aperture. The images imported fine but when I view them in viewer they are very blurry. So much so that I thought the camera or lens were at fault or that I was viewing a low resolution version of the photo. All the photo's exhibit the same problem but some are more obvious than others.
To check my equipment I imported the same photos direct from the camera into Canon's own Digital Photo Professional. The images are pin sharp.
Any suggestions to what I could be doing wrong :
1. I don't think I'm importing low res images from the camera into Aperture, the aperture image info says the images are RAW (but not S-RAW), and 13MB in size which seems to be correct for S-RAW.
2. Could my version of Aperture be set to view low res or JPG versions of the S-RAW images, if so how do I change it.
3. Are there any known issues with S-RAW (CR2) files and aperture ?
I believe this is a new problem, I looked back at some S-RAW images from my old 40D (same L series 16-35mm lens) viewed in aperture and they look fine
Any help most welcome.
Mike B.

Kirby,
Plenty of testing but even more confusion I'm afraid :
1. updated OSX to the latest version 10.8.1, no change to the blurred effect.
2. updated the 7D firmware to latest version 2.0, no change to the blurred effect.
took some new photos in various formats and imported using the new updated versions :
3. new photo's in RAW, blurred effect dissapeared. Images from DPP viewed at 100% were identical when compared to Aperture at 100%
4. new photos in M-RAW, blurred effect was present quite noticeable when images were compared at 100% size.
5. photo's in S-RAW, blurred effect was very obvious at all zoom levels especially 100%
6. imported the same photo's into iphoto 9.3, iphoto mimicked Aperture ie :
RAW photos were identical in iphoto and DPP, but M-RAW and S-RAW both viewed blurred in iphoto compared to Canon DPP. This one threw me, I had expected iphoto to view correctly in all instances.
If iphoto hadn't given me the same problem I was going to attempt to re-install Aperture (not quite sure how), but if both iphoto and aperture give the same results, I suspect something more fundamental is going wrong.
Mike B.
I tried getting a screen grab for you, I'm not sure if it will work, image on the left is DPP at 100%, image on the right is AP3 at 100%, I cannot get the image on the right to look any better than this in AP3.

Viewing RAW images in Aperture

I cannot find a similar discussion so I'll post this.
I cannot view RAW files in Aperture since the 3.5 update to 10.9. The files import correctly and then when I try to view them in the viewer they turn into a scrambled mess. I have created a new Aperture library and still the problem persists. Is anyone else having this problem and are there any fixes?
Thanks

Chris,
try two things:
use the command "Photos > Reprocess Raw" from the menu bar
and use the command "Photos > Generate Thumbnails"
It looks like the thumbnails of your imported images are broken.

Is your scrambled mess red and blue? Have you perhaps enabled "View > Highlight hot and Cold areas" or "onscreen proofing" with an unsuitable color profile?
Or any presets interfering? Raw decode preset, or an effects preset in the Import panel?

Survey on Number of RAW IMages in Aperture

I would be interested in knowing how many RAW images people are loading into an Aperture catalog? Does anyone have 100,000 plus images? Does it handle this many photos without slowing down considerably? Any feedback on this subject matter is appreciated. Thanks.

100,000 images isn't a problem.
The key is not the number of images in a library, but rather in a specific project. I wouldn't put 5,000 images in a project, but I have 35,000 images in my library (250 GB) and there are no slowdowns to speak of. (Well, I don't click the "all images" smart album often )

Importing RAW images from Aperture into iMovie

Hello. I'm trying to create a slideshow using iMovie, but apparently it only imports jpeg format images. Most of my photos are RAW images, and I can't seem to figure out a way to get iMovie to import jpeg versions. Can anyone help?

Have just gone through the sequence again - using file - open and then locating the aperture library via applications. The message I get is that adobe does not recognise this type of file. I am sure I must be missing something, but cannot figure out what it is - any ideas.

I have a Canon EOS T2i Camera and I want to import the RAW images into Aperture. How do I import them as RAW images instead of jpeg ?

How do I import RAW images from my Canon EOS T2i camera into Aperture and have them show up as RAW images and not jpeg images?

See the list of supported raw formats:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
The footnote ** for the cameras EOS Rebel T2i EF-S / 550D / Kiss X4** says, that the raw format is only supported with Aperture 3. So you will have to upgrade to Aperture 3, to be able to import the raw from from your camera.

Can you open a RAW image from Aperture in CS3?

CS3 has some helpful "tweaks" in its Camera Raw Screen including Fill Light, Recovery, and Vibrance.
Is it possible to open an Aperture stored RAW image using external editor or some other method in CS3?
I am probably missing somehitng big time, but the way I used CS3 RAW as by exporting the master image to another location and then opening it in CS3.
Thanks Dan

I actually first place my images onto a remote drive and import them into iView Media Pro and do ratings and keywords. That gives me total flexibility. images that require Photoshop modifications are dealt with first to avoid the dual Version/Master issue in Aperture. For these images I do my RAW processing in Photoshop. I then import the folder into Aperture and live happily ever after.

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).

Importing Photoshop RAW images into Aperture

When I import Photoshop RAW images that I have made adjustments to, into my Aperture library, they show up as the original RAW files and not with my adjustments. Is there a way to get the RAW adjustments imported as well.
The only reason I need to import them into Aperture is to post them in a web gallery. Or is there a way to create a ME web gallery directly from Photoshop files? How about creating a ME web gallery directly from Lightroom? Anybody have a clue?)
(Btw, in attemtpting to research this topic, I find I am totally unable to do a search of the discussions. Even with a search word like "Aperture", I get no messages. Not matter what search word I enter I get no messages found. ???)
Thanks!
Jim

Thanks for the reply Allen.
I am saving them all as TIFFS now. I was just trying to avoid that time-consuming step. I do not really need them as TIFFS right now. It is to show edited RAW files to a client. Later, when selections are made, I would save that much smaller number of images as TIFFS. But it seems that there is no other way to import the RAW files with the edits into Aperture.
I used to create all of my web albums for clients in PS. But once I got a .mac account, I love and prefer the look of the .mac web galleries. But of course that necessitated importing all my PS files into either iPhoto (not an option) or Aperture. But can these PS web galleries be exported to a .mac web gallery?
Thanks!

Can RAW images from Aperture be stored in online Mozy?

Does anybody know if the images in RAW format in Aperture folders be stored in online Mozy backup?
Best Regards

Thank you rwboyer for the answer.
I do back up on my Time Mechine. But it does just back up every thing to an External HD.
I just thought if a web based storage may serve me additional protection. {By the way I am not a professional Photographer}

Problem with Sony NEX-5 camera raw images in Aperture 3.

Aperture 3 cannot says the RAW files from my Sony Alpha NEX-5 camera are an "unsupported image format". Aperture 3 is a full new copy (not an upgrade) purchased 10 days. My mac is an iMac 3.08 GHz Intel 2 Core, running 10.5.8, and with 4GB of 800 MHz RAM. All software upgrades have been performed.
Aperture 3 says RAW files from my camera are supported. I downloaded directly from the camera by USP in the correct USP setting in the camera , i.e. 'mass storage mode'. Preview can see the .arw files but iPhoto and AP3 cannot. I've read that a possible fix is to down load via a Firewire 800 card reader. I'd rather avoid that as they cost about AU$170 - which is quite an impost when AP3 just cost me AU$249.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Karl McC

Thank you e2photo.
Yesterday I found a similar post about the same issue with a new Canon camera. They fixed the problem by copying the files from the camera to a folder on the computer. Then they loaded the files into AP3 from the folder. Great news; it worked!!
Thank you for your thoughts on iMovie as I had not tried to download movie content yet. You prompted me to do a little trial. No problem. iMovie 08 read the ACVHD movie and it looks great.
Kind regards,
Karl McC

When trying to export a RAW image from Aperture to a jpeg, the jpeg file is completely black.

I am trying to share some photos that I have taken. I shot them in RAW and store them in Aperture that way. I then tried to export the version to my desktop to be able to send to someone. The export process went through just fine, but the jpeg file is just a black image. I have tried this with several different images with the same result.
I have done this a million times in the past with no problems. I don't know what is different now.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

As a work-around: are the jpegs ok, if you simply drag the images that you want to export from Aperture's browser to your Desktop?
What is your Aperture version?
And which export preset are you using? Check, if your "Export preset", for example "JPEG original size" has been changed. Have you perhaps added a watermark, that could be occluding the image?
