Tethering to an Album in Aperture 3

In Aperture 2.x I used to be able to tether my shooting to a particular album within a project. But in 3.x I cannot, any ideas?
Essentially I build a new project for a "monthly activity" and each album is the date I am working on, so I would like to be able to shoot straight into that album as I could in Version 2.x
Thanks
Butch

Keyword work as you'd expect in Aperture. It seams though that you've got troubles finding the search function in Aperture. Have you aver noticed that little magnifying glass on the top right in the browser? That will bring up the 'Search HUD' (look this one up in the manual) you can search for every little piece of metadata there is to your photo's: date, aperture, focal length, place, and yes, even keywords.

  • Syncing albums from Aperture 3.5.1 to iPad

    I have a series of albums in Aperture that I sync with my iPad using iTunes. In the past they always synced as albums, but now they have started syncing with the photos arranged by date as events. This is NOT how I want them arranged! How can I make the albums sync as albums again?

    Are you sure that it isn't how you are viewing them on the iPad? Open Photos on the iPad and note that there are 2 icons at the bottom (Photos & Albums). Have you tried changing that to Albums?

  • Deleting Flickr-albums in Aperture

    Hi,
    When I delete a Flick-album in Aperture all photos are deleted on Flickr.
    I don't want this...
    Is there a way to delete a Flickr-album in Aperture and leave all images online?
    Thanks,
    Vincent

    I 'disabled' the web account, but couldn't 'Remove' it. Thats the catch. I can't remove the account while Aperture is synchronizing. I can't stop or pause Aperture's sync process long enough to delete the account. Therefore I get stuck in a loop.
    What I just tried, and was successful with:
    Go to my MobileMe gallery page. Delete every gallery on the page. This apparently makes Aperture take a longer time to find the albums to sync to (this comes in very handy later)
    Launch Aperture.
    Wait for it to start sync'ing (or more correctly, start trying to find the albums you just deleted).
    click the 'sync' swirling icon next to the current gallery that is in the sync process.
    Aperture throws a warning dialog something like "you can continue to sync by clicking this button again later".
    Click OK, and prepare to do the following as fast as you can......
    Very quickly, before Aperture decides to start syncing the next gallery in line, click:
    File->Web Accounts->Edit Web Accounts
    Select 'MobileMe' and hit the ' - ' button to remove the account.
    IF the "removing this MobileMe account will delete all your stuff" warning dialog pops up BEFORE the Aperture Sync process starts on the next MobileMe album, you're in luck, and you can successfully delete the MobileMe account. If not, go back and try again.
    Aperture may 'unexpectedly quit' a time or two, but once I got the timing just right, I managed to finally delete the MobileMe web account, and now Aperture seems to have, for real, forgotten all about MobileMe.

  • Complex smart albums in Aperture

    Hello,
    I thought I saw a complex smart album in either Aperture or iPhoto which combined two sets of "opposing" criteria.
    Example:
    Any
    Album name is "album1"
    Album name is "album 2"
    All
    Names do not contain "word"
    If I remeber correctly there was a clearly defined line in the Smart Album creation window.
    Has anyone seen this as well

    Hi Frank,
    yes, you can combine several rules in a smart Filter or a Smart Album in Aperture, even with opposing criteria.
    But this only works for rules using regular albums - I never succeeded, when I tried to reference a "Smart Album" in these rules.
    Regards
    Léonie
    For example, this Smart album computes the difference album between two Aperture albums: All images in the Screensaver that are not in the gallery and are not rejected.
    Added: But complex rules combining "Any" and "All" I have only seen in iTunes, not in Aperture; the only exeption I know of are keywords. You can have a toplevel combination of "any" or "all", and at the keywords level again a new combination.

  • APERTURE TETHERING: How do I prevent Aperture from going to the most recent shot.

    I'm planning on a photo day (kinda like a school portrait) for my company and will be using a D700 tethered to a Mac running Aperture.
    Currently when I take a photo, the person at the computer doesn't have enough time to enter the name of the subject in the metadata window before I've moved on and taken a photo of the next subject. Once I've captured the image a new image, Aperture quickly jumps to the new photo, interupting the naming process. Is there a setting I can change in Aperture 3.1.2 that prevents Aperture from jumping to the most recent shot.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think what spikeyjonze was trying to say is you deselect Auto Select , not that you blow up Aperture
    Succinctness is a virtue but some times we can have to much of a good thing

  • How to sync an iphone created photo album with aperture

    hello,
    how can I do to sync a iPhone created Photo Album with Aperture?.
    First of all, I created a new Photo Album on my iPhone (IOS 5.x), then I want it to sync with Apple Aperture 3, but Aperture created no new Album in the Project Folder. What can I do?
    Best Regards
    Sigi

    If the album was placed on the phone by syncing photos from a computer to the phone, the way to remove it is to sync again but this time remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes (if you want to remove all previously synced photos) or change the selection of photos in iTunes to be synce. Each time you sync photos using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/photo selection in iTunes.

  • View content of multiple smart albums in Aperture 3

    I'm having difficulty accomplishing the following in Aperture 3.1.3 in Lion:
    I'd like to filter content from a folder (of several projects) that includes: One star or greater AND (orientation IS portrait OR aspect ratio IS 16:9). I'd like to view this content ideally as one smart folder to be used for viewing as a slideshow on Apple TV or iPhone.
    This nested logic seems beyond Aperture's smart album capabilities (interestingly I can create this kind of logic easily on an iTunes smart playlist) - although it's easy to create two separate smart albums that accomplish this. I thought I could create a folder and then put both smart albums in the folder to view all of the content together, but that doesn't work. I understand that by selecting one smart album and the CMD clicking the other smart album I can see all of the content in the browser, or create a slideshow with all of the photos from both, but I'd like to take advantage of the auto-updating smart folders to just always be able to see the current content from both smart albums - or if anyone has any ideas for creating just one smart album....
    Thanks!

    At times Apertures filtering capabilities can be under-whelming to say the least. As you've found out the type of search you are looking to do while easy in iTunes is not possible in Aperture.
    cond 1 and (cond 2 or cond 3) type searches can be done as a two step process but unfortunately won't be totally dynamic.
    Here's want you can do
    First select all your one star or better images and put them in  a regular album. Then run the OR search on that album.
    Like I said it won't be totally dynamic as any new one star or better images will need to be manually added to the album.
    good luck

  • How do i import specified albums in aperture to ipad 2

  • Migrating photos from Adobe Photoshop Album to Aperture

    A while ago I posted to see if anyone had done this but got no replies. I have now managed to migrate my photos and most importantly kept the tags.
    The first issue was that Adobe Photoshop Album kept its tags in an inaccesible proprietary database. This was resolved by downloading a 30 day trial version of Photoshop Elements 5 (PC). It appears that Adobe have actually built Photoshop Album in to Photoshop Elements (without telling any of us paid up Album users!). It is all there in PE5. What PE5 adds is an entry in 'File' menu called 'Write Tag and Properties Info to Photos'.
    This 'writing' puts the tag information into the keyword IPTC field within the picture file itself.
    It was then a simple case of making a backup from the file menu and backing up the whole library on to DVD(s).
    In aperture simply Import images from the file menu, select the DVD and all the images are imported - tags and all.
    The only one gripe about this process is that PE5 randomly misses out adding tag information to the files. There doesn't appear to be any logic to which files had no keyword information added at all. However, this is a better option than having to re-keyword everything again.
    I hope this help some of you.

    Just to point out that this will not work for raw files, since Adobe for some reason decided against using XMP sidecar files for the organizer, the way they do for PE/mac, bridge, etc.

  • Facebook "Make Shared Album" breaks Aperture connection

    As far as I can gather, Facebook albums of type "Shared Album" will disappear from your Aperture Facebook listing.
    You can no longer share photos directly from Aperture for Facebook albums of this type.
    I've not found much discussion on the web about this, but I have confirm this behavior by creating a test album in FB, then sharing it--it disappears.
    If anyone knows of a fix to this, I'd appreciate it.
    Regards...

    Same problem here and it's the same with iPhoto.  It's just plain ridiculous and I don't know why Apple hasn't fixed it.  As a result, I'm not using the Aperture Facebook uploader anymore.  I'm using a 3rd party solution: Facebook Exporter for Aperture by Sean Farley.  It has it's unique problems as well, but at least Sean is working on it. http://seanfarley.org/aperture
    Does anyone have any better solutions?

  • Sorting albums in Aperture

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out why Aperture always starts sorting an album on "Manual" by default? Is it possibel to save another default for sorting? If so, where? I can get it to sort the main folders (Projects) by name and the sub-folders (Albums) by name, but the individual files/photos are always first sorted by "Manual". I can go into every folder and set it to sort by File name, but I would prefer not having to do that.....
    Thanks,

  • Albums in Aperture vs Albums in iPhoto

    Hi,
    I am a bit confusing about the usage of Albums in iPhoto and Aperture 3.
    My understanding,
    iPhoto: adding a picture to albums is just to create links, there is always one physical copy of image, modifying the picture from an album will update all albums that have that picture. The concept of Album in iPhoto is more like a tag or a label?
    Aperture: adding a picture to albums is to copy physical image files, you may have duplicated images if a picture is added to several Albums. Change of a picture in an album will not update the same picture in other albums.
    Is my understanding correct?
    Since my iPhoto and Aperture use same the iPhoto library, how do they actually work together when browsing albums? iPhoto creates links but Aperture copies files.

    versions do not mean duplications of images, versions mean changes-to-be-applied?
    That is correct.  Versions are image files in limbo - just a set of adjustments describing the changes that need to be applied to the original to render the image as an image file. You create new versions by using the command "Photos > Duplicate version" or "Photos > New version from original". Or by setting the preference to create new versions when making adjustments.
    This paragraph in the manual is very misleading:
    When you drag an image into a different album, Aperture creates a duplicate version of the image and places it in the album. An image can be copied into any album in the same project or into albums in different projects. The destination album can be an album, book album, Light Table album, slideshow, or web journal or webpage album.
    Dragging between albums does not create new versions - it adds a link to the same version to the destination album. You can test that, by dragging an image to an album and flagging it in the album. You will see that all occurences of this version in all albums will be flagged. SO there is still only one version after dragging, but used in different albums.

  • Delete picture from a Mobile Me album in Aperture

    Hi,
    I just made a mobile me gallery out off the aperture interface and sync the content to mobile me. So far so good. But I was wondering if it's possible to delete pictures in the mobile me gallery in aperture. If I want to delete a picture in the gallery the picture will also be deleted in aperture, and that I don't want... I just want to change the pictures in the gallery. Off course I can delete the pictures in the mobile me web-interface, but the pictures are still in aperture-mobile-me gallery and will be back in the gallery the next time you sync the gallery I guess.
    thanks in advance for any reply.
    Pascal.

    MobileMe Galleries are simply a type of album. Deleting an image from an album will not delete the image from Aperture. Simply select the image. and press the delete key. Aperture will warn you before it deletes a master, but it will remove a version from am Album without comment.

  • Has anyone successfully tethered a Nikon D7000 with Aperture 3.1?

    Hi,
    I have a new Nikon D7000 and tried to tether it to Aperture 3.1. Aperture recognizes it as a D7000, but I can't get an image to display. I'm outputting JPEG right now and can wait until RAW is available, but it would be convenient to tether so I can get immediate feedback on the image while I'm shooting.
    Has anyone had success tethering the D7000 with Aperture 3 or is the software not there yet? I'm talking about having the image immediately downloaded to the iMac and automatically displayed after you take each photo, not downloading at the end of the day.
    Thanks

    UPdate - the key was opening a new project in Aperture 3. Once I did that, Aperture recognized the D7000 and I could shoot from the camera and have it displayed immediately on the iMac.
    It works right out of the box. Yea!!!

  • Trying to delete a MobileMe album causes Aperture 3 to crash every time.

    I published an album to my MobileMe Gallery from Aperture 3 (as a test), and now I want to delete it from MobileMe. However, every single time I tried to do this in Aperture 3, the app crashed (and I sent those reports to Apple). As a last resort, I logged into MobileMe directly and was able to delete the album there, but it still shows up under "MobileMe Galleries" in Aperture. How do I fix this problem? I am up to date on software, I think (3.0.2). Thanks for any help you can provide.

    TThanks for that Linc.
    tried that but mail still crashed. So modified it a bit. I archived my important emails and then erased the mailbox itself so that all messages were deleted. This was successful.
