Transfering images from Aperture 2 to a CD

I'm wanting to transfer an album I've created in Aperture 2 to a CD. Does anyone know how to do this?

This question would be better in the Aperture forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1092 - I will request that it be transfered

HT4007 How do I export images from Aperture to my iPad Mini?

How do I export images from aperture to my iPad Mini?

I am going to give it a try.
Greetings from Mexico!

How do I remove images from aperture?

Totally new to apple and aperture so I apologise if this seems like a somewhat noob question but how do I remove images from aperture (using the latest version, 3.4.1)? Coming from a PC and using lightroom I'm used to being able to remove images in two ways:
- removing the image from the "library", so that it no longer shows up in the program at all but is still on your hard drive (when I say removing it from the program entirely, I mean entirely, i.e. not sitting in a trash can or some other place where it's still taking up memory)
- deleting the original image off the hard drive
Is it possible to do either of these things in aperture, on both just a single image or a selection of multiple images, and if so how? I've tried googling this already and am getting a bunch of mixed solutions, none of which have really worked so far, so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

The answer partially depends on whether you have a managed or referenced library. Since you're totally new to Aperture, I'm assuming you have a managed library since that's the default.
FYI: Managed means Aperture handles image files and places them inside the library file. Referenced means you manage the image files and Aperture only points to (references) them.
For a managed library, select an image you want to delete. Type command-delete. (That's the reverse delete key next to the "=" key). (You can also right-click an image and choose Delete Version) That will remove the images from their Project and place in the Aperture Trash. They're still taking up space in the Trash. If you really want them gone for good, right-click the Trash in the library pane and select Empty Trash. Poof.
For a reference library, I forgot the exact details since I don't use this type of library, but you'll be asked (or can check a box) to delete the original file from the disk.

Use image from Aperture in Xcode image well

Is it possible to extract an image from Aperture and display this image in an Xcode image well?
I have a script that searches for and extracts a required image in the format:
image version id B4bCHCfeR969OQ7SEcUsOQ of library id LibraryFolder
I now want to display the image in an ApplescriptObjC project, how do I build a path to the image well?
Hope this makes sense, as usual, any help gratefully received.

set theImage to "Image 1"

          set names to {}
          repeat with i from 1 to count of ims
                    set n to get the name of item i of ims
                    set names to names & n
          end repeat
          set imageSel to first image version whose name is theImage
          export imageSel using export setting "JPEG - Original Size" to (path to desktop)
end tell
Giving this a closer look you could condense the script down to
set theImage to "IMG_08067"
tell application "Aperture"
          try
                    set imageSel to first image version whose name is theImage
          on error errTxt number errNum
                    display dialog "Error: " & errNum & return & errTxt
                    tell me to quit
          end try
       export imageSel using export setting "JPEG - Original Size" to (path to desktop)
end tell
You don't appear to be doing anything with the repeat loop or variables and you're always taking the first image you find with the name.
So here we look in the whole library for an image with the name and if we find it we export it. The try/error block is to catch times that the name you are looking for isn't in the library.

Need to Export All Images from Aperture to Photoshop. Can anyone help?

I'm new to Mac. Just got my iMac in January. I wanted to buy the Mac version of Photoshop Elements 8, but the Apple salesperson convinced me that Aperture 2 would be much easier. After three months, I've discovered that Aperture is just not for me. I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac today. I would like to move all of my images from Aperture to Photoshop and delete Aperture from my computer. I cannot figure out how to do this. Whenever I try to export, the Aperture "library" appears as a big block that won't open or prompt for subfolders. Please help!

Pvonk has good advice. I just want to make sure you understand the Aperture has a Master and at least one Version of each image file. The Master is the original -- never touched. The Version is at first a copy of the Master, but as soon as you make any changes it holds those changes. So you have to decide whether you want to export the Masters, the Versions, or both (which you'll have to do separately, afaik). Aperture gives you the choice. Click "Photos" in the Library tab of the Inspector, then select all, then "File>>Export". If you want to maintain your groupings (e.g.: Projects), you will probably have to select the images in each group and export them as a unique set.
Note that Aperture is a very powerful image database (pros refer to this as "Digital Asset Management") in addition to (w. v. 3) being a very powerful digital photograph development lab. Photoshop Elements does none of the former, and a very different kind of job than the latter.

Savings images from Aperture to external hard drive

I have a basic question about the file structure on Aperture and mac's. I'm an old pc user, so I have not had a chance to investigate the structures yet and hoped I could get some guidance on this.
If I import several images from a camera SD card into Aperture, the images are deleted when the import has finished. How do I later copy the images from Aperture to say an external hard drive?
Appreciate the help.

Bjorn -- welcome to the forum.
Aperture is an image database. The Aperture database is called a Library. The database consists of a list of Images, the files needed to create those Images, and a whole bunch of data associated with each Image.
The files needed are the originally imported file, and the set of instructions Aperture uses to "adjust" the original to create your adjusted Image. On import, the original file becomes a Master. The Master is _never_ altered (this is the "non-destructive" advantage of this kind program). Aperture doesn't care where the Master is stored, as long as it can find it (it should be a locally attached drive). If you let Aperture store the file itself, it puts it inside the Library. If you tell Aperture where you want to store it (other than than in the Library), Aperture makes note of this by storing a pointer to the location you choose.
Masters stored in the Library are called "Managed Masters". Masters stored outside the Library are called "Referenced Masters".
(The file listing the Adjustments is the Version. The Version is always stored in the Aperture Library. Versions are small text files. The cost in storage and read-time is so minimal it can be ignored.)
So:
- Library (presumably in your Pictures Finder-folder)
- - Master
- - Version
or
- Library (presumably in your Pictures Finder-folder)
- - Pointer to Master
- - Version
- Master (wherever you specify)
There is no connection between Aperture and any data files that are not imported into the Library.
If you make copies of your photograph files prior to import (an excellent practice), there is no connection between Aperture and the copy you do not import.
Here is a short guide I posted to the parts of Aperture every new user should know well. Read through it, and ask questions as you move forward.
Note that making backup copies of your originals, copying or moving your originals, and making them Managed or Referenced Masters are all options presented in the Import dialogs.

How do I get images from Aperture into print shop for mac?

Friends,
I have Print Shop for Mac and Aperture. How do I get images from Aperture into Print Shop? I'musing managed images with previews. Is there any option besides exporting to the desktop and importing?
Thanks!
Steve

if you have previews turned on in Aperture and they're all genereated, you can simply drag-n-drop them into any application (just about). drag-n-drop is essentially the same as copy/paste as long as the application is setup to accept "drops" onto its windows.
otherwise, if you're running Leopard (10.5) as your version of Mac OS X, when you import (or whatever it is in PrintShop), you should get a file selection dialog. from here, scroll down the left-hand side bar set of icons. near the bottom is a group called "Media". click on the triangle to open the group, choose Photos, and from here you should see an Aperture icon. click this and you'll see your whole library (or at least the portion of it that you have previews generated for. select the photo you want and viola!

How do I import multiple images (from Aperture) to multiple pages in Pages?

I can select and drag multiple images from Aperture to Pages, but they all are inserted on the same page. If I have 100 images, can I force Pages to insert one image on each of 100 pages?
Thanks,
Rick

Burn for what purpose? To share with others?
Export the photos to a folder on the Desktop. Burn that with the Finder. Result: a folder of images that any computer can read.
Using iPhoto's Burn command creates an iPhoto Library on the disk and is suitable only for others also using the same version of iPhoto.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Note that rewriteable disks do not necessarily mean that you can append files to them, and require special burning software to do so.

How do I print images from Aperture to the Canon MG6150?

I have recently installed (i think correctly) a Canon MG6150 printer on my iMac but am having difficulty making it work correctly when photo printing (the wireless connection seems OK). When printing from Aperture I can cause a print to be made but the printer prints very quickly and the colour balance is incorrect (it's too pale and not saturated). I think maybe this is due to the wrong paper selection but i can find no way via the Aperture menu of selecting the paper type being used. According to my 1:1 trainer i should see a "Quality and Media" sub menu in Aperture when i print and from there i can select paper type etc. However this "Quality and Media" sub menu is not present on my machine when printing from Aperture. As an alternative i've tried printing from the Canon Easy Photo Print EX utility but each time i try this i have to go through a lengthy process of identifying my region and country before reaching the select images screen. Once there i am unable to find my Aperture files and hence cannot select any images, nor go onto the next stage which seems to be selecting the paper type. All this would be very arduous to use (lots of keystrokes) - am i missiing something?
Also when installing my Canon software from the supplied disc i was referred to the Canon website which said that there were driver updates coming along to sort out some bugs associated with Lion OS (which i'm using). As i understand it these new drivers are not available until sometime during October and hence i haven't been able to download any as yet.
Any help greatfully appreciated as i'm fast running out of hair. Thanks a lot.

The same way you would export to any file system:
Connect the flash drive and once it is mounted you can export to it in the regular manner.

Transferring images from a PC to a Mac

Fist of all, please excuse me if my questions appear elementary but I am a recent convert to Apple and to digital photography. I have a PC desk top computer and a just-purchased MacBook Pro. At the moment all of my images are on the internal hard drive of my PC and the drive is filling up fast. I need a short term solution to my diminishing internal disk space that will tide me over until I learn enough about workflow to invest in a longer term solution. I want to view and edit my images on the MacBook Pro. I realize it's not the best way to edt but it will have to do until I replace my PC with a desktop Mac which I intend to do. But in the meantime I don't want to clog up my Mac unnecessarily with thousands of images. So, my questions: 1)) What is the best way of transferring my images from the PC to my Mac? 2) If I transfer my images to an external hard drive from my PC will my Mac have any problems reading them? 3) Can an external hard drive be formatted to read both PC and Mac files? 4) Rather than get an external drive for my PC (since I don't intend to edit on the PC, am I better to get one for my Mac? 5) Can someone suggest a good on-line tutorial on this topic so that I don't need to trouble all you good folk. Any advice would be appreciated.

There are many solutions: Your first stop is www.macwindows.com, and read everything in site re: formatting ext HD's to run on both,your best solution. There are apps that allow macs to read/write/ drag & drop to /from Fat 32 & NTSF partitions, and visa versa, read about networking and remote controlling PC's and Macs, as well. A simpler but time consuming solution is internet backup/ syncing via Sugar Sync or Mobile me.
*maybe you can help me: I'm about to get my first PC to capture digital dental xrays. I'm told that the imaging sensors drivers only work on a PC/xp or Vista, 32 or 64, though they are written in 32. I want to network (automatic syncing of dental image files and practice mgmt files from the imaging app & mgmt app) the PC to an iMac, either booted in Vista 64 or running it in emulation. The PC Imaging app (Apteryx) and the PC Mgmt app (Dentimax) works either way on the iMac. How do I:(1) set up a wireless network, (2) that onlt auto syncs the 2 dental apps files, (3) on a Vista booted iMac, or ($) on a Vista emulated by Fusion, iMac????? Thanks! I assume a V booted imac is a PC to PC setup, but I have no idea how to do this? I also find it hard to believe that the sensor drivers wont work on a V booted iMac!

My IT department transferred images from my Blackberry to my Iphone, they are in "Photo library". there is 1500 images, many are duplicates and when I hit edit, delete is not an option. how do i delete the duplicate images?

my IT department set up my Iphone and transferred the images from my Blackberry. I have over 1500 images showing in "Photo Library" and lots of them are duplicates (same image). When I hit edit it will not allow me to delete them, delete is not an option shown. How do I get rid of the duplicates?
In Photo library, when I hit edit the only avail options are share or add to. Please help, i dont want 1500 images on the phone.

Are they really duplicates or are you simply referring to the Photo Library?
Just as a song is in your itunes library and the exact same song can be accessed via a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos ( not duplicates) can be accessed from the chose folder/album.
You delete these pica the same way you put them there. The sync process. Deselect them in itunes and sync.

Low-quality iPhone images from Aperture 2.0

Hi. I'm trying Aperture 2.0, and I configured iTunes to sync some photos from Aperture with my iPhone.
The problem is, the photos on my iPhone from Aperture are noticeably lower in quality than those synced from iPhoto. The images are blurry and look like low-quality JPG's.
In Aperture's preferences, I set the preview quality slider to maximum and set the limit preview size menu to "don't limit". Still, the images on my iPhone are of poor quality.
Is there anything I can do to make the images Aperture exports to my iPhone look as good as those synced from iPhoto?
Thanks!

It seems that Ap2 syncs the previews to the iPhone... you have to clear the previous cached previews before it will load higher quality previews... anyhow, here is what I did... and photos look better on my iphone (not feeling motivated enough to verify if it is the same quality as iphoto sync)...
1.) change Ap2 prefs for "limit preview size" to "don't limit"...
2.) select all the photos in the album(s) you are want to sync, right click (ctrl click), and select delete previews...
3.) sync your iphone again...
if that doesn't work directly, you might need to uncheck sync photos to delete all photos on the iphone, but the ultimate goal is to ensure refresh with the higher quality previews...
Hope that makes sense or gets folks in the right direction... Apple really needs to put a check box in future version of itunes to sync full quality or something...

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?

Transferring images from a CF card

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer a bunch of pictures from a CF card to an iphone? If it is possible what is the easiest way to do it? I'm also wondering if anyone knows of an app that will let someone view RAW images from a digital camera?

The best way to transfer pictures to an iPhone is putting the pics in iPhoto or Aperture, then tell iTunes to sync the albums you want to the iPhone. That's if you're using a Mac. I don't know what the Windows equivalent of iPhoto is to sync with an iPhone.
AFAIK there are no apps to view RAW images from a digital camera on the iPhone.

Can RAW images from Aperture library stored in an External HD?

I last night[I thought I did] stored projects from aperture library to an external Iomega Mac version HD.[Partitioned the Iomega into two One large225GB for Time Machine and small 125GB for just back up folders]
Then I have reinstalled my Mac OS.
Now I connect the HD to my Apple Mac Book Air and see the saved images on the external HD but not highlighted and not there for available to open in my Aperture Apps?
I also tried to import selectively the Aperture images from my Time Machine back up and that too failed.
I on opening the Aperture selected "Import photos form a Disk" but that failed too.
I have also saved to the same external HD some modified photos saves as JEPG and they open ok.
When I reinstalled the OS and registered in a different name, would that make any difference to importing Aperture projects saved on an external HD?
Can anybody suggest a way to open those Aperture project folders that I have stored on my External HD?
Regards

Projects are entirely maintained in the Aperture Library. You can use 'referenced masters', in which your masters don't reside inside the library (and the library merely keeps track of where you decided to keep them.)
When you import new photos, Aperture updates some information in the library so that it knows the photos exist, where they reside, what sort of changes you've made to them, etc. You can't just plop new images into an external folder and expect Aperture to notice them. Think of this as "formally introducing your photos to Aperture" -- via the import process. Aperture wont deal with any photo you haven't introduced to it.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the alarm bells and red flashing lights that went off as soon as I read you were keeping your photos on an external drive partitioned for Time Machine and backup folders. Bad bad bad.
There are two types of disks in the world: (1) Those that have failed, and (2) those that are going to fail. Sadly, even backup drives are not an exception to this rule.
Never keep the "working" copy of your data on the same physical drive as a "backup" copy of your data. When the drive fails (and someday it will) you'll just lose all your copies of your work -- so much for having a backup. Drives are very cheap these days. Just get another one and dedicate your backup disks just for backups.
As you have a MacBook Air (and thus only a single USB 2.0 port) you might want to look into "Network Attached Storage" (aka NAS). This way you don't have a tangled mess of a USB hub hanging off your Mac with several disk drives also hanging off the side of your Mac. The disks just live on the network - as though they're remote file servers. If the network is connected via Gigabit ethernet, the effective throughput to read/write those drives is about 3x faster than a locally attached USB 2.0 drive (no kidding!). You might think this is really expensive -- but you'd be surprised. I was checking prices at Other World Computing recently (an online store of products targeted to Mac owners) and noticed you can buy an empty NAS enclosure (meaning you buy the disk to go inside it) for as cheap as $25! An enclosure with 250GB disk pre-installed and Time-Machine compatible was about $120. To put this in perspective... I recently paid about $150 for a B+W Circular Polarizing filter. So all this technology costs less than one decent lens filter for my camera.
