Size of photo's published with Aperture

Can anyone tell me how I can get photo's published on the web .mac with Aperture at a great format. When I make the format more than 400 the photo's are not good anymore. Please tell me how I can get great photo's at the web.

Im not sure what you mean? Are you talking 400 dpi? If thats what your doing then forget it...images should be 72 dpi for publishing on any RGB electronic media.
You can use photoshop to make your image to the size you want at 72 dpi and then use sharpen so that it looks great on your screen and then it should look great on most other peoples screens as well. (all the other sharpen options are for big images or print media).
Hope this is what you mean? or do you only want to use aperture only?

Screen saver : loading photos too long with aperture 3.3.2

Hi,
I've upgraded to mountain lion today and I've discovered an issue.
Screen saver does not display my aperture library (though I can select the aperture library and see clearly the photos inside)
It says 'loading photos' with a black screen and nothing more happen.
When I select a folder with small amount of photos (less than 10 for exemple), it finally works.
But I like to have my whole library targeted for screen saver.
I add that it was perfectly working before the upgrade, and Aperture was already in 3.3.2 before mountain lion upgrade.
Lion screen saver was working perfectly with my all aperture library and now it's a disaster.
Moreover, the new slideshows added in the screensaver are worse than the one with Lion. I particularly appreciated the "Polaroid" pictures with the date below.
Now I cannot have it anymore..
So I have two questions ;
1) Is there a way to speed up the loading of photos for the slideshows of screen saver ? A cache file ?
2) Can I get back the previous screen saver of Lion ("polaroid" pictures with date below)
thanks a lot for your help
I'm a newbie in Mac

Hi Earnie,
Yes indeed I do have different versions for some of them but each version bears a different Version Name. Though I guess the Master Name being unique, it might be causing the trouble... That should not matter anyway and hopefully will be solved in a next update.
Thanks for the tip. I will investigate further and check all my photos.
Cheers

Photo sync bug with Aperture albums?

Hi, I think I have found a bug with how iTunes syncs photos across to my new (and until my number ports across, useless) iPhone.
If you set it up that only selected Aperture albums are synced, like this;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album3
[tick] album4
then albums 2 and 4 are optimized and copied across.
However, if in Aperture you create a new album (by importing new photos, say) that appears in the list, e.g., between album2 and album3, then the ticks retain their spacial position, not their position relative to the album they are meant to sync;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album_new
[tick] album3
[ ] album4
So now, when you sync, album4 is deleted and album3 is placed on the phone - not what you would expect.
Has anyone else noticed this?

It is fixed now though. If you upgrade to iTunes 7.5, and iPhone software Update 1.1.2
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply.
That's strange... I am using leopard, with iTunes 7.5 and a brand new UK iPhone (so it has 1.1.2 already on it). It was essentially in 'virgin' state too; I had to return my 1st phone due to a tiny but annoying problem with it. I noticed the this after only a couple of syncs - when the sync was taking a while due to the photo optimizing step.
I will take another look tonight.
Thanks,
Tristan

Publishing Webgallery with aperture or iweb

With iweb i publish photo's at internet. A few days ago I bougth Aperture. Publishing photo's at the internet with Aperture gives less quality. Is there someone with an explanation?
Please look at these links for an example:
Published with Aperture: http://homepage.mac.com/reinencarolien/Dosk-Zuidvogels/
Published with iweb: http://web.mac.com/reinencarolien/iWeb/Zuidvogels-Doskampen/Zuidvogels-Doskampen .html

There are no loss in quality in the images themselves. If you look at the dimensions of a picture in the "Aperture Gallery", you will see that there are differences in the actual pixel dimensions of the image and the pixel dimensions set in the html- code.
An example: In the "Aperture Gallery" image: picture-5.jpg, the image dimensions are 500 x 332 pixels, and the source code says:
src="pictures/picture-5.jpg" width="736" height="490"
Therefore, you will see jagged lines and a loss of quality since the image is viewed at 147,2%
In addition, there is a slight distortion of the proportions between height and width. The image is viewed at 490 pixels height, which is 147.59%. The height should actually be 489 pixels (488,704 pixels).
Drag the image on to the desktop and open it in Preview or Safari. Then you will view the image at 100% and you will see that the image is perfectly ok.

Syncing photos with Aperture 2.0

After upgrading to Aperture 2.0, I no longer have the option to select which projects I want to sync my photos from. It is now all photos or none (with Aperture 1.5, you could select one or more projects). Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there any known workaround?

I have been running the Aperture 2.0.1 upgrade for some time now and still can't import Aperture albums. It's all or nothing.
Does anyone else continue to have the problem after upgrading to 2.0.1?
Thanks

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

G5 Desktop Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

Transfer photos from iphoto to Aperture with snow leopard, how?

hi all
how can i transfer photos from iphoto (in power book G5) To Aperture ( in MacBook Pro 17" with snow leopard), with same albums arrangement???? thanks

yi1gaka wrote:
1- the size of iphoto library is 6GB, but in aperture its 11GB, y?
I think it's because you have the original images plus copies with any adjustments you made in iPhoto. It could also have to do with Aperture generating Previews.
2- now to copy the another iphoto library from the second old machine, i will replace its library with the iphoto library of new machine then copy it in aperture library, and after that i can delete the iphoto library to save hard space. is that correct? thanks
Just make sure you keep the copies on the old machines until you've backed up your new Aperture Library and made sure that everything is there. IMPORTANT: make sure that you chose to copy the images into your Aperture Library instead of keeping them in their current location. If you left them in the iPhoto Library and you delete that library, you delete your images!

Aperture2.0 and iweb08 - problems with size of photos

Just got a new Imac and Aperture2 and I have my first problem. Hopefully I can explain this without sounding confusing. I have 10 photos in album "A" in Aperture. The photos are 'web ready' .jpg at 500 pixels by 500 pixels and 72 dpi. When i make an album page in iweb08 and use the media window to bring in my 'aperture album' the photos come into iweb much smaller then there original size, maybe 200 pixels by 200 pixels - I cant resize the images or if I can, there way distorted.
Here's the tricky part.
When I created an album in iphoto08 and placed the SAME photos in it and add it (using the media window, same step as above) into iweb - all the photos display correctly.
So.
What could be the problem with aperture and iweb?? Thanks for any help.
and I have all the lastest updates including the new Aperture2.01
Message was edited by: mezzo17

I tried that (switching the preview resolution from 1/2 to no limit) and it didn't work.
but then
I deleted the entire project folder, with the albums etc. and decided to start from scratch.
With the settings (as you guys suggested) prior to creating my folders and projects
and just created the project folder again, created a new album folder and imported the images again.
and then it worked just fine.
I guess switching the preview quality while the folders 'existed' wasn't updating somewhere.
Sounds buggy.
Anyways. Its working now.
I haven't gotten the .mac side of my new web working yet but you can check out the old site

Thanks for the help.

Apple TV Photos not that sharp? (sync with Aperture)

Not sure if other people think this or if I'm doing something wrong, but I sync my ATV with Aperture and the photos as displayed on the TV just aren't that sharp.
Does iTunes sync low res images to ATV?
I have a 1080p HD TV and have set ATV to output at that resolution, but I'm just not seeing the sharpness on the TV.
My only thought is this - I shoot my pics in raw format, which does look a little soft until they have some post processing applied (something Aperture does when viewing). I'm wondering whether iTunes exports the master file to ATV without applying any post processing.....? Any thoughts?

In another thread it was suggested that Aperture (unlike iPhoto) syncs previews that are fairly hi-res, but definitely not full resolution, to the ATV.
My pix from iPhoto look great on my 32" LCD and the files sizes are fairly close compared to the source computer. The person who reported the above info also reported a drastic difference in size - many gigs vs. hundreds of MB - between Aperture and his ATV.

Having issues publishing certain photos to website from Aperture.

Hi All,
I really hope someone can help me with this. I created a new website yesterday and had no problems publishing everything to my website. This included dragging photos from Aperture to iWeb, creating photo albums and such. Late last night, I tried to add a new album with all new photos that were from Aperture just like before. Once I had customized the new album (which is exactly like the other albums, just different pictures) I hit publish and I get an error message every time. It's saying there's a problem publishing because of the FTP and to contact my service provider. I contacted Yahoo Small Business, and after running a few tests on my account, they said everything was working fine on their end.
I thought maybe the pictures were too big, so I resized them to under 1MB, but I still can't get them to publish and am still getting the same error message! The photos are in .jpg format just in case you're wondering. Any ideas or suggestions on what I should do to try and get this working?
I'm totally new at making a website, so please be thorough when responding. Thanks so much!

Are you able to publish the site to a folder on your hard drive? If so then it's not an iWeb problem per se but a communications prolbem with the server.
You might have to try the publishing to a folder and use a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site to the server. I'd get Cyberduck, configure it for your server and see if you can get it to login and view your account folder on the server.
Otherwise you can try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home()/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Best photo sharing site to use with aperture?

what is the best photo-sharing site to use with aperture?
flickr and flickr export?
or are there more capable alternatives?
is there any solution to sync tags and keywords between aperture and the photo sharing site?
thanks for any advice

i was wondering what the best service is in combination with aperture, the best service on its own for me is flickr, i like there online interface a lot.
so there is no way to have the same functionality with aperture as with iphoto from ilife08?
the demo on the .mac website shows they simply upload a gallery to .mac web gallery like here: http://gallery.mac.com/emily_parker
now when i export a web gallery from aperture its just a stupid web page with none of the interactive functions of a web gallery
but unless aperture can publish to .mac like iphoto can i will probably stick with flickr, flickr export for aperture seems also the most capable plug in for the moment compared to the export plugins for smugmug or other services.
i was really hoping to be able to use .mac like advertised with iphoto or have someone here suggest some other great service to use with aperture, i would especially like to be able to sync keywords both ways.

ITunes can't see Aperture album photos to sync with iPhone??

I had to export my Aperture library to downgrade from version 3.2 to 3.1.3 due to all the bugs in 3.2. Since that time, though there are photos in my albums that I can see, edit, etc these pics are not showing up on the Photos screen of the Sync prefs when my iPhone 4 is plugged in. The albums themselves all show up when I select to sync with Aperture but it shows "0" photos in every album despite the fact that all the albums have photos in them. I have repaired permissions on Aperture library, on the computer, upgraded to iTunes 10.5, restarted the computer. I'm guessing there was a preference file that might have linked the old Aperture library (no longer in the "Pictures" folder) to iTunes photo syncing with iPhone. New Aperture Library has same name and location as the old one but iTunes just isn't seeing these photos. Any suggestions on fixing?

I made a duplicate copy of a picture and did some editing of it. I added sepia tone, etc. When I go to Shutterfly to upload the edited picture, I can't find it. I see the original, but not the edited duplicate. I shut down the computer last night and let it update and checked it again this morning, but still can't find the edited picture. I know it is "in there" somewhere, because when I open Aperture 3, I can see the edited pic. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Apple TV 1st Gen + iTunes 10 + Photo Sync (with Aperture 3) = No Sync

I recently started to experience the same issues that others have reported regarding not being able to sync their Apple TV classic (1st generation) with iTunes 10.
I grudgingly disconnected my Apple TV from iTunes which wiped out all the content. Then when I started a new sync, the Apple TV (and my iMac) froze when trying to connect.
So, I disconnected them again, and quickly set the sync preferences to a "Custom" sync. After an hour of playing around with the settings, and turning on (one by one) syncing of video content, music and podcasts, I've narrowed it down ... to Photo syncing with Aperture.
All of the other content that iTunes will let me select, syncs fine. I've re-synced my entire music library, but if I even setup iTunes to sync 1 photo from Aperture to my Apple TV ... freeze-o-matic.
Anyone else run into this issue and/or been able to find a workaround to fix it?

Finally found answer, many thanks to:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

My repaired macbook now has Yosemite. I have my photo library on an external drive loaded with Aperture 2. Now unable to do anything.

My "photo management macbook" crashed and when it was repaired it was upgraded to Yosemite. This macbook is used exclusively for photos using Aperture 2 (I also have a new Pro retina and an older macbook as well, with Yosemite and Lion loaded respectively). I have my photo library on an external drive and it was loaded using Aperture 2. Now I cannot use Aperture, cannot see photos, cannot upgrade to Aperture 3.6 and so cannot migrate photos to another software package, which I am going to have to do this year sometime.
What can I do to get Aperture working and migrate my photos?

On Yosemite you can only run Aperture 3.6, but that will not run on Lion.
If you want to get Aperture running on your photo management macbook, restore it to the previous system from the last backup you made before the crash occurred, if you have a full Time Machine backup. If you want to keep the Mac on Yosemite, try to restore the older system to an external drive and boot the Mac from that drive, when you want to work with Aperture 2.
Otherwise your only option would be to buy the upgrade to Aperture 3.6.

HELP moving photo's from hard drive with aperture to hard drive with iphoto

I was trying to move the photo's from hard drive a with aperture to hard drive b and start using iphoto but I have had no luck. In aperture when I select relocate masters a error comes up and say's: unavailable master images cannot be relocated. Either offline or not found. I originally had the masters on a external hard drive, when I got divorced my ex took the external drive for her mac. I am able to view the photos but I don't know how to move them. Thanks

I think you're missing the point - it's a question of where the images are, and it sounds a lot like the images are on the hard disk you used to own.
Managed = you keep the images in the Aperture library
Referenced = the images stay where they are on the hard disk and they're indexed in the library.
