RGB boost difference between Aperture 2 and iPhoto

I'm new to Aperture. I have been using iPhoto and noticed that there is a difference when you boost RGB values in iPhoto and Aperture. Does anyone know what other values iPhoto is manipulating when modifying RGB values that Aperture isn't?

IMO today you are very likely to be best served by the inexpensive Photoshop Elements. However, Adobe's world is changing at the end of this month (March 27) with official announcement of MacIntel versions. You may want to re-ask this question then, being careful of April Fool's Day wags.

Also, version 2 of Aperture is expected in the next few months, and I will be surprised if simple color tools such as you describe are not included.

Sharing Photo's between Aperture and iPhoto and syncing to iPads, etc

Here is my problem.
I have 5 Macs (1 iMac, 4 laptops.) There are 4 people in my family and we have the family pack of iLife. The iMac is where everything sits with a time capsule and Drobo hanging off of it - about 6 TB's of data. Each Mac sync's with a variety of iPods, iTouchs and iPads. All linked to a user. So for example, all my oldest son's devices sync with only his laptop.
Well, I finally fixed my media (songs, movies, TV shows, etc) problem by leveraging home share in iTunes and authorizing all my Macs. But not so lucky yet for Photo's.
Here is the my photo dilemma.
I like Aperture for the editing and ability to handle large libraries better. So I have Aperture installed on the iMac where everything sits. iPhoto is also installed on the iMac and iPhoto is on all 4 other laptops. Prior to moving to Aperture, sharing photo's between computers was relatively easy using sharing in iPhoto - although it appears sharing in iPhoto is different than home share in iTunes. I converted my iPhoto library on the iMac to Aperture - now sharing is a pain in the neck.
Ideally, a Home Share like feature would be built into Aperture and iPhoto with another feature that would allow you to "check for new photos" on the laptops and pull them into Aperture - but wishful thinking right now.
So my while my 2 new iPads are awesome - they are basically useless for Photo's as they are synced to 2 laptops that use iPhoto, but all my Photos are in Aperture on the iMac.
Thoughts anyone????
Thanks

What was the question?

Printing differences between Aperture and PS

I have been using Aperture for almost two years, but I have never been happy with the results I get when making inkjet prints. I have custom built profiles, calibrated monitor, all goo d color management etc., however I get very different prints from the same files when print from Aperture that I do with Photoshop or Lightroom. Why would Aperture interpret the same profiles differently? And what rendering intent is it using? I built some new profiles yesterday with the XRite ColorMunki and the prints made with PS are an excellent match to the monitor. Some of the darker, more saturated blues in the Aperture printed image go bright purple. Aperture prints a bit lighter than the monitor as well. I am printing from the same saved Tif file that was processed in Aperture, and sending it directly to PS out of Aperture.
Thanks
Peter

Assuming your settings in the Aperture print dialog are what they should be - If you are not sure there are plenty of topics on that, the issue could be the following.
To make a long story short at some point the combination of Leopard, Aperture 2, Tiger printer drivers and printing preferences seem to cause really horrible Aperture printing issues. The only sane procedure I have used and recommend to make it right again are:
Delete all the printers from system preferences.
Make sure that you download and install the latest leopard printer drivers (again).
Trash all of your old Aperture preferences.
Put all of your correct preferences back in to the print dialog.
Try again.

Synchronising between Aperture and iPhoto

During my messing about last week in trying to sort out my faulty Aperture Library, I ended up rebuilding my iPhoto Library too, and reimporting all my images into it.
This has resulted in a disparity between the two Libraries. Now I know I did some clearing out of the Aperture collection earlier this year, so I'm expecting it to have fewer images. However, the difference is far greater than I expected. I know that the iPhoto Library has at least the same images as the Aperture Library, but not the other way around.
This is the annoying bit, as Aperture doesn't check for duplicates on importing.
My Aperture Library has about 11,200 photos in it, but my iPhoto Library is showing 12,800. I'm expecting to shed a lot of these anyway, but I'm also concerned about the difference here too. So, I'd like to reimport the missing images back to Aperture. Is there any way to synchronise the two Libraries? - or at least get Aperture to check for duplicates?
Cheers.

I've found a script that does seem to offer what I need, it only imports from an external folder, but it's sufficient to work with what I have here anyway (I also have all my images in an external folder hierarchy in Finder).
http://homepage.mac.com/brettgross/Aperture/ApertureAppleScripts/ApertureAppleSc ripts/SyncFolder.html
It needed tweaking to add .ORF file to it, but it seems to be working, albeit a little slowly (which doesn't matter, as long as it does the job).

Aperture and iPhoto should use the same library

Hi all,
It seems that there is a lot of conversation about moving photos between Aperture and iPhoto. For example, some like iPhotos slideshow better but still require Apertures adjustment options. Still others have tried, to no avail, to use Aperture as iPhoto's external editor.
Personally, I have a large iPhoto library with most photos tagged with keywords. I have just started using Aperture and am yet to decide if its extra features are useful for a novice photographer like myself. Other than the price, I see no reason not to use Aperture instead of iPhoto but I would want to import my entire iPhoto library into Aperture.
My question, however, is why we need to 'import' from one app to the other. Without understanding how the aperture / iphoto databases work, I would assume there is no fundamental reason why Aperture could not simply open an existing iPhoto library and visa versa. They both support RAW, keywords, books etc. And while I am sure there are some deviations in the databases, surely each app could simply ignore the features it does not understand.
Is this something that anyone else has considered or think would be good. I would imagine that the easier it is for customers to upgrade from iPhoto to Aperture the better. Does Apple plan on supporting this in the future or is the import option 'good enough'.
Cheers

Can I and if so how do I best set up Aperture as main app. (master) with iPhoto as sub app that accesses the same library to sort through, look at, order books, etc.
Simply set the Preferences to 'Share Previews with iLife Applications' in Aperture. Then go to iPhoto -> File -> Show Aperture Library. A media browser will open and you can drag the pics from the Browser to the iPhoto Window. Note: You're getting the Aperture Previews not Masters. Note too that if you set iPhoto to Referenced mode (iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced) then you won't use double the disk space.
+Remember though, you are not accessing the Aperture Library. If you make changes in the Aperture Library (Re-edit the shots) after bringing pics to iPhoto, those changes are not reflected in iPhoto.+
This is what William means when he says the iPhoto does not access the Aperture Library.

Run Aperture and iPhoto on an external drive and edit from laptop?

Can I run iphoto and Aperture on an external hard drive, like a file server? Can I store pics on the external hard drive and edit using iphoto or aperture on the external hard drive from a laptop ? How do I make this work?
HELP! I'm maxed out!

Hello Laura,
what is it, that you want to achieve?
Move the Aperture Library to an external drive to free space on your laptop?
or do you want to share your Aperture Libray between your machines and access it in parallel on a network volume?
The option "1" is easy to achieve, the option "2" is not supported by Aperture; Aperture (and iPhoto) are single User programs, see this:
Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3252
To move your library (or parts of your library) to an external drive you have two options:
move the complete libary using the finder to a local, external, MacOSX formatted drive,
or turn your library into a "referenced" library: relocate the master image files to the external drive, but keep the Library itself (much smaller now) on your laptop. This way you can browse your images and rate them, use them as screensaver, even if the external drive is not connected.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. the same (*** grano salis) holds for iPhoto; you can move the library, or your libraries, to an external drive using the Finder; you can make the iPhoto Library referenced, but referenced libraries are much better supported in Aperture, for Aperture has been designed in espacially to support huge, distributed libraries - in iPhoto I found it it safer to have several smaller libraries than to have one huge, referenced library - that was one of the reasons I moved from iPhoto to Aperture.

Need help with Color Profiles between Photoshop and iPhoto

Hey guys, I'm a photographer and have always used Photoshop in comination with iPhoto. I am having great difficulty lately with color profiles randomly changing within albums of pictures. I need all of my images to be in sRGB, but some somehow end up in Adobe RGB. It seems to happen at random. Apple seems to think it's an Adobe problem. Adobe isn't sure what to do. Anybody aware of any known issues between CS5 and iPhoto using OS 10.8.4 with regard to color profiles and how to fix them?

@shaunamm You need to open the SVGin Illustrator, not place it. But I doubt that you will be able to get the effects in Illustrator.

Syncing aperture and iPhoto, syncing aperture and iPhoto

I'd like to switch back to iphoto from aperture. I believe Apple isn't supporting aperture very well. Any suggestions?

Neither Aperture nor iPhoto do support synching of their image databases or even synching between databases generated by different applications.
The way from iPhoto to Aperture is a one-way road - to import iPhoto Libraries into Aperture is well supported, but back from Aperture to iPhoto you will have to export your projects and to reimport manually. This makes sense, since iPhoto only offers a subset of Aperture's features.
I believe Apple isn't supporting aperture very well.
I will not discuss belief, but Aperture and iPhoto share many frameworks and the database engine; so the only thing you'll get by going back will be a simpler graphical user interface and reduced funtionality.
Good Luck

What to do with Aperture and iPhoto now?

Now that I have Photos on my computer (OS X 10.10.3), can I uninstall/delete iPhoto and Aperture?
I have no need for their functionality, since I will just use Photos (to replace iPhoto functions) and Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop for more advanced functions (including what I could do with Aperture).
To clarify, I should say, is it safe to delete the two apps (iPhoto and Aperture) without affecting my photo library?

I mean the apps. They don't take up 'minimal storage', instead aperture and iphoto apps take up around 2.5gb of space. I have a large SSD, but I would still like this space back.
Make a bootable clone or another full backup of your SSD. You may not be able to ever reinstall iPhoto or Aperture otherwise, since they have been pulled from the App Store.
If you should discover later, that the migration of your libraries has been faulty and you need to repeat it after repairing your libraries, you will be out of luck.
Remember, it is is just one day after the first release of Photos as version 1.0. There are very likely some bugs and I would not burn all bridges before the library has been thoroughly tested and you are very confident, that this release is working well on your Mac.
My concern is that there is a shared library, and by deleting the two other apps, the ones the new one relies on, that the there might be some data loss. I wanted clarification. If an app is intended to replace two other apps, then why doesn't it replace it?
The links between the library are hard links. As long as one of the libraries is still referencing one of the linked image files, that file will not be deleted from the disk. Six Colors: The (hard) link between Photos and iPhoto

Aperture and iPhoto - sharing the same library? Synchornizing libraries?

Hi,
I would like to ask if it is possible to either:
1. Have Aperture and iPhoto share the same library.
2. Have the edits on one reflect in the library of the other (if it isn't possible to simply "share" the same one).
Thanks.
My major concerns that keep me from going to Aperture and forgetting iPhoto altogether are:
a. iPhoto has nice sharing capabilities (with Facebook, email, etc.) which I am not sure Aperture will have.
b. iPhoto has good iLife integration (slideshows with iTunes music, send to iMovie, etc.)
c. my photos have tags in iPhoto that I'm not sure would transfer to Aperture if I did the "import" process...

1. Have Aperture and iPhoto share the same library.
No. Th Aperture Library is a much more complex beast than the iPhoto one. The two apps can shar the same photos though.
2. Have the edits on one reflect in the library of the other (if it isn't possible to simply "share" the same one).
No. Neither is an "external editor" like Elements. Importing is a once-off thing. Once you import a pic to Aperture it never references the iPhoto version again - and vice versa.
It's tempting to think of Aperture as some kind of "iPhoto Pro". It's not. It's an entirely different application. When you edit a pic in iPhoto the apps preserves your original file and creates an entirely new file - the modified version. When you edit a pic in Aperture that doesn't happen. Your edits are recorded in the database and +applied live+ when you view the pic in the Aperture window. This is a very different way of working and the principle reason why the two apps don't - and can't - read each other's Library.
a. iPhoto has nice sharing capabilities (with Facebook, email, etc.) which I am not sure Aperture will have.
You can email from Aperture in exactly the same way as iPhoto. There is a Facebook exporter for Aperture (though, given what Facebook does to photos, I can't imagine why anyone would want one) and there are lots of other exporters available as well. Search on MacUpdate.
b. iPhoto has good iLife integration (slideshows with iTunes music, send to iMovie, etc.)
Aperture can do the same - and in the same way - if you set it to share Previews with iLife and iWork in the Preferences
c. my photos have tags in iPhoto that I'm not sure would transfer to Aperture if I did the "import" process...
They will.
There are some differences: No Face and Places features in Aperture, Aperture won't deal with video at all, you cannot order postcards and calendars via Aperture and Slideshows are better on iPhoto. But if you share the Previews with iLife, then you can access any of these features you want via iPhoto.
The best thing to do is download the Aperture trial and experiment with it.

N97 bad music player, difference between v20 and v...

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the changes of the music player made in firmware version 21.0.045 compared to version 20.0.019?
All the changes logs I can find say “music player improvements” but I can't find any.
The difference between v20 and the version before that ware obvious.
“Improvements” like the “back” button going back to the home screen instead of the music list you ware coming from.
The removal of the search function in portrait mode, you can only search songs with the hardware keyboard, so no portrait touchscreen keyboard search. (very annoying when using a car dashboard stand).
And they ruined the search function all together. Now I can only search on the first word of a song, album or artiste. First I was able to search just a (part of a)word and all songs containing that word in the title would be found. I have almost 1500 songs on my N97 with only 1/3 of 32GB used. How can the expect me to remember all first words of about 4500 songs!
And all the album art in the lists, which makes for less songs on the screen at once. I don't like that very much, but that's just me I guess.
So overall the made an oké music player into an annoying player ware bey I have to remember way to much to use it properly
Of course I hoped that v21 would bring some positive chances to the music player, but I cant find any. Can Anyone tell me the changes, if any. Or are they all under the hood? But I haven't noticed any performance boosts either.
Hope to hear from someone.

I do not think that N97's music player is going to be fixed in any way...
Why? Because N97 is the worst device Nokia has ever produced! They will stop N97 software upgrading because many things in this phone went wrong. Now they claim they can fix it. And I claim: no, they can not. If they could save the sinking ship of N97 we would wait for so long for the solution of the problem called N97.
Look how irresponsible N97 becomes when you start music player!
Is this CPU issue? Playing mp3 file with 400 MHz cpu is very big deal!
My E71 has never stopped responding, and what I dit with E71 was multitasking torture!

What is the main difference between view and materialize view and advantage of Mview ??

What is the main difference between view and materialize view and advantage of Mview ??

1.A view uses a query to pull data from its associated tables.
2.Views do not have data's physically stored in the Database.
3.Views Get the Data from 2 or more tables and displays as a single block.
4.But a materialized view is a table on disk is a result set of a query done.
5.A Materialized view can have data's in the database.
6.Materialized view are used for Boosting the Performance.
7.And the important one is Materialized views are updated based on the parameters defined when they are created.
8.By using triggers we can update the data in a materialized view.
9.When you call a materialized view it will show the data when it was last updated.
Hope it helps.

Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

Hi,
Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
Thanks,
Satish

I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD. I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
data: filename type string.
filename = p_file.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
         exporting
              filename                = filename
              filetype                = 'ASC'
         changing
              data_tab                = iflatf
         exceptions
              file_open_error         = 1
