Stopping aperture auto adjusting my photos?

How do I stop Aperture automatically adjusting my photos when they are imported?

G'day Mate!
Thanks for your help.
However this is already set to none.
I am just importing from a CF Card in both Raw and Jpeg as seperate masters to new projects.
On camera, (Nikon D2Xs) I am fairly specific with my settings and once all images are imported, Aperture goes through and adjusts all the colors and levels to create what 'it' thinks is a correct image.
This happens shortly after clicking on an image to view it (once all images are imported).
I wish to keep all the colors and levels as shot but it 'pre-adjusts' it all for me to bring out the details in all shadows and changes colors to a different tint level.
Also, thinking about it, it's not saying in the adjustments tab that any adjustment are made. All those sliders are in the middle or where they are meant to begin.
Thanks again,
Steve

    Hi  Mister_Do,
    I just solved my problem by running the HP Support Assistant and then its Troubleshooting Program for Monitors.  After it got done testing my monitor and its settings everything seems to be back to normal ....i.e, no more  'Auto Adjustment in Progress' messages. 
    Thanks and regards,

  • Stop Input Auto-adjust

    I am using a Plantronics USB 645 headset and using it in Skype and recording calls. The recordings of my voice are quiet, so I have tried turning up the input levels in the Sound preference pane, but after turning it up it always auto-adjusts back down. Is there a way to stop this behavior?

    Hello,
    You can try locking the settings: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00850175&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...

  • While editing photos in Aperture, I'm trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure but the button is grayed out and consequently doesn't perform any function, please help! Thank you, Mike

    While editing photos in Aperture, I trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure,
    but the "auto" button is grayed out and will not allow any auto function to take place.
    Please help!
    Thank you,

    Mike, are you working with raw images?
    For some raw images auto exposure is not available, have a look at this manual page:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=18%26se ction=9%26tasks=true
    Note: Automatic exposure adjustment is available for Aperture-supported RAW images only. If you want to adjust the exposure of another file type, such as JPEG or TIFF, see Working with the Exposure Controls. For a list of supported RAW file types, go to the Apple website at http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.

  • How to stop Lightroom from auto-adjusting RAW files

    Is there a way to stop Lightroom from automatically "fixing" my RAW files? When I first load them in they look perfect (like they do on the back of my camera), but then LR auto-adjusts them to make them dull and desaturated and not at all contrasty. Is there a way that I can set LR to not do anything to the files and let me decide what I want the original to look like?

    I totally understand where II is coming from. I too find it bothersome that in some images, the pre-processed preview is a more pleasing image than the unprocessed RAW. At the same time, it is the unprocessed nature of the RAW image that is the whole attraction and point to shooting RAW. An obvious workaround (if one is willing of course) is to shoot RAW+JPEG so as to either have the JPEG as a "target" reference or final image when suitable. And that is an option I used to employ until I got tired of dealing with the issues of essentially doubling the number of images I was working with.
    I do disagree with II's thought that the preview showing up is slowing down any processing of the RAW image. It would seem to me that the whole reason the preview is showing up is that it is a prerendered aspect of the file that pops up while the actual preview rendering is taking place. While I don't claim to have technical knowledge as to how this all works, I would think that LR is simply showing the initial rendering of what the RAW file is telling LR it looks like until LR can actually make it's OWN interpretation. Either way, the process is fast enough that it isn't a huge issue to me on my system. In fact, those images where I see a vast difference between the inital preview image and the LR rendered resolve no slower than the rest.
    It is interesting to know that there are applications/utilities out there that will extract that inital preview though. I thionk it would be very cool if LR made use of such a capability more directly as an option.
    Anyway, while the frequency of my use of LR so far pales in comparison to that of PS and Bridge, so far I can say that such discrepency between nice looking inital preview and less than so RAW is far less common than it is working with PS and Bridge CS2.

  • Turn off the Auto adjust when shooting tethered in aperture

    is there any way to turn off the auto adjust feature in aperture? When I shoot tethered it over corrects and ruins all the shots, then I have to adjust back for the client to get a good idea of the image.

    After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
    From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
    Why set the destructive option as the default?
    I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

  • Stopping auto load of photo's

    Hi. How do I stop the automatic download of photo's to the ipod (nano) everytime it is connected to the imac G5. I am running out of disc space on the ipod.
    Any help appreciated. Thanks.
    Keith

    1st of all you need to go to ipod settings and trobleshoot. when you open itunes, plug in your ipod then once it has been recognised go to ipod options. then go under the tab pictures and you should pretty much know what to do from there. if this doesn't help go to the vidoe manuals that apple have they help a lot!

  • Lightroom Auto Adjusting Photos

    In the Develop module, when I click on pictures for the first time after import, the color changes after about 3 secs. I have looked everywhere and can't find where to turn that off, and it is really bothering me. I like the way pictures look until it changes, and then I have to try and change the picture back to what I saw for 3 secs. Any information will help. Thanks

    It's not auto-adjusting your images. You are seeing the embedded preview - from the out-of-camera JPEG - until LR gets the RAW data and applies its own rendering.
    If you don't like it, create a develop preset that has the settings you like and apply that on import.
    There are a ton of threads on exactly the same subject. Do a search if you want more information.

  • How do I stop the auto generation of previews to imported files?

    In a recent post it was suggested that I do not let Aperture automatically generate the previews to all imported files. I think that is a great idea, but how do I stop the auto generation of such files?
    Under Preferences/Previews I have unchecked the New projects automatically generate previews, but after I do the import the processing wheel continues to spin for quite some time (depending on how many files I imported).
    Thanks in advance.
    David

    Take a look here:
    Pretty much the same in Ap2 and Ap3

  • Aperture Jumping to First Photo in Browser List

    My Aperture library photos are organized into Projects and Albums.  I use List View to browse my photos.  Within each Album, the photos are organized in numerical order from lowest to highest.  I’m using the most current version of Aperture 3. 
    I generally do some photo post-processing using Adjustments in Aperture.  However when I use Aperture to edit a photo (Crop for example), Aperture usually (but not always) loses my spot and jumps to the first photo in the Album.  This is in the Browser list, though the current photo continues to be displayed in the Viewer.  When Aperture jumps to the first photo in the list, it is incredibly annoying and time consuming to get back to where I was in the list. 
    If I just use a Preset in Adjustments, e.g., Quick Fixes > Auto Enhance (without cropping), Aperture generally maintains where I am in the Album browser list.  I can just go to the next photo in the numerical sequence.
    This has been going on since Aperture 2.1.  I have a lot of volunteer work coming up and I would like Aperture to function properly.  Does anyone have an idea how to eliminate this jump to the top of the list bug in Aperture?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi.  So your workspace is set up in Split View, with the Browser in List View?
    How are you activating the adjustment?  ("when I use Aperture to edit a photo (Crop for example), Aperture usually (but not always) loses my spot ...")  If you continue with the adjustment, is it applied to the Image showing in the Viewer?
    Just trying to understand better the behavior you're seeing.

  • Is it possible to adjust the photo angle and size in Snapshots theme

    Hi
    I'm new to aperture and am having a few frustrated-hair-pulling issues with the Snapshots theme. I was using iPhoto to create a Photobook of my son's first year and found it to be too limited for what I want to create. I came across Aperture and was wow'ed by the description saying I could rotate and resize photos, add text boxes etc. This was just what I was after so I downloaded the free trial to test it. I like the snapshots theme the best for the idea of it looking more "homemade" but seem to be unable to adjust the photo angle and size from the given templates. Also I find that the border in adding new photos (which I can adjust the size and rotation of) is without the custom shadow effect that the template ones have. Duplicating the template photo only gives one with the shadow effect but also of the same size with the same rotation that I can't do anything with! Rrrrghhhh
    I thought this would be a great way to customize the album I'm making for my little boy, and that it wouldn't be too hard! My mac skills are considerable, but I'm by no means an expert! Is this program too much for a non-pro-creative-housewife with a wish that may be solveable in iPhoto afterall?
    Or am I just missing something? Is there a way to do this or shall I just give up and choose another theme?
    Any recommendations are welcome! Please!!! My scalp is now officially sore!

    Here's the solution I used to solve the same problem. If you're not comfortable editing the source files, this might be more than you want to take on--but I've done it to several files with no ill effects. You can follow the instructions on this page and the referenced original post from (he includes a link on the page). Good luck! He's got some great tips on some of his other pages.
    http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/03/15/aperture-3-book-theme-trick/
    A warning about editing the Master pages--it only edits them in that book--it doesn't update the theme. So if you go to create another book with those same layouts, you'll have to duplicate the book and replace all the images. An alternative would be to create a "clean" book with no photos in it and then just use that as a starting point each time.

  • Auto adjusts

    Hi All,
    Does Aperture apply auto adjusts to your images? or are they displayed "as is" directly from the camera?
    Also can someone please explain the white balance tool in Aperture. I am used to nikon and adobe software where you choose a white balance (sunny, shade, flash etc...) and then you can fine tune if you want to, this seems to be missing in Aperture?
    Cheers.

    They are displayed "as is." No auto adjustments (a la ACR defaults) are applied.
    The white balance tool is akin to the eyedroppers in the ACR white balance tool. Just click on a neutral area of the shot (white is fine, so long as none of the values are 255, or grey), and they values for R, G, and B will be equalized, effectively removing the color cast.
    Aperture doesn't have any presets for sunny, shade, tungsten, etc., with white balance. However, these are just numbers for color temperature and tint. You can see the values ACR chooses for these and define your own presets, if you want.

  • Auto adjust in PV 2012 results in highlight clipping

    Is there any control over the Auto adjust process in PV 2012? I'm using ACR 7.4. The Auto adjustment on the Basic panel seems too hot - by perhaps 1/2 to 2/3 f-stop (net effect on the histogram) and it usually results in a significant amount of highlight clipping. Auto adjust using PV 2010 seems more reasonable.
    For example, using the same image, here's a comparison of the Auto settings:
    PV 2012: Exposure +1.15, Contrast -9, Highlights 0, Shadows 0, Whites +41, Blacks -45
    It results in some highlight clipping.
    PV 2010: Exposure +1.10, Recovery 0, Fill 0, Black +10, Brightness 0, Contrast +35
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Frank. And I concur with Robert Shomler: auto-toned settings may not be usable "out of the box", but it can sometimes help to see what auto-toner would do with the various settings, especially whites, but also contrast and highlight/shadows (and blacks).
    Sometimes I get stuck in a rut, and hit auto-tone, and go oh-yeah, I'm banging my head against a wall because I need more whites and less exposure, etc... (at which point I usually undo the auto-tone and continue manual toning, but more enlightened...),

  • Can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture, can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture

    can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture, can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture.
    Does anyone out there no if you can merge the libraries?  I have two hard drives full of photos saved in the Aperture 2.1.1 library, I have never needed to upgrade.  I bought a Mac desktop and purchased the new aperture.  When I plug the hard drive in and try to use the other ones from the earlier version, the computer says files are incomplatible.. 
    Can anyone help?

    When AP 3.0 was released, Apple added a new rendering engine and the local adjustment brushes. Upgrading at that time required that the library be upgraded also to use the new features. Users had the option of upgrading the library database (and internal support files) only, or to opt for updating all images to allow use of the local adjustment features (brushes) on those images.
    There have been additional updates that required the library to be updated also (AP 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 if memory serves). There may have been a couple of additional ones, but those 3.x updates added key features.
    I suspect you may need to update your current library to AP 2.1.4 > make a copy for backup > upgrade library to AP 3. You may be able to upgrade directly from 2.1.4 to 3.4.1, but I am not sure since I went from 2.1.4 to 3.0.
    If you have OS X 10.8.2 on the new machine, I am not sure if AP 2.1.4 can be run (hopefully others can answer that one). Merging and exporting projects as a library were one of the features in AP 3, so you must have a library at that level to do that type of procedure.
    Here is a link to the update features and you will see some recommendations at the bottom for upgrading the libraries for use with AP 3.

  • Skype Auto adjusts the mic even with the option un...

    Everytime I start a game and I'm on Skype with my girlfriend, my mic blows her ears out. 
    This isn't even just starting up a game for the first time, if I'm playing a game like Heroes of the Storm, every time we start a new game, the mic will auto adjust itself to the loudest possible setting.
    I have unchecked the mic's auto adjust propery and it still does it.
    I have gone into windows and unchecked the box to allow applications to take control of my mic.
    I have gone into regedit and copy-pasted a solution that was supposed to stop this from happening as well.
    This bug is incredibly annoying and I will stop using Skype if it continues. I don't want a program that takes over my mic because it knows better than me what volume it needs to be at.
    Anyone have any clue what the heck is going on and how to fix it?

    Hi,
    I take it you mean Microphone Enabled is Ticked in the video Menu ?
    And that the Mic in System Preferences > Sound > Input matches the one in iChat Preferences (Video Section) and that the bar moves in both places ?
    In the iChat Preferences > Video section change the Bandwidth Limit to read 500kbps as a starting point.
    iChat 5 "sees" your Internet Speed differently from iChat 4 and earlier and there may be greater speed differences between your Buddies now.
    Open the Connection Doctor during a Chat and compare the Bit Rates an Frame rates.
    Try both ends on 500 kbps.
    Then when the Bit rates look settled adjust one end at a time upwards, allowing the Connection Doctor to settle again. (The slowness of change is the iChat Buffering taking effect).
