Trying to submit images to WHCC from Aperture -- I'm stumped

I'm trying to send images to White House Custom Color for initial test printing and I'm stumped on how to conform my files to their requirements: sized to 8x10 at 300 PPI, in any imbedded color space and saved as a baseline standard, level 10 JPEG.
I've cropped them to 8x10, but can't figure out how to set the rest: PPI? color space? level 10 JPEG? I've been unable to find any information on the net that's not tailored to Photoshop users. Calling WHCC customer service was no help at all.
I'm hoping someone here who's used WHCC can instruct me on how to export my images correctly so I can send them off to WHCC. Thanks.

Thanks and Ah Ha! So obvious and yet so not. Having never customized the export presets, I didn't think to look there. Thanks again.
One quick related question: I'm only given an option to set the DPI (rather than PPI.) Do I set this at 300 (their requirement is 300 PPI) or do I need to do some sort of conversion?

Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library

Mac OS X 10.10.1 (yes, Yosemite...)
Aperture 3.6
Lightroom 5.7,1 (CC version)
When trying to import some libraries from aperture I get this immediate response "Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library".
In the plug-in import window, Number of image/video files is "undetermined", as well as Disk space required.
Tried with different Aperture libraries, but with the same negative result.
The plug-in worked in previous Lightroom version or when it was a stand alone plug-in.
Thnak you
Stefano

OK, here is the workaround I did to migrate all my images.
1. I broke down my Aperture library into separate libraries based on year (highlight all the 2014 projects, for example, right click, and "export to library")
2. Import each separate library into Lightroom, one at a time.
3. Delete the year-based libraries - and leave your original library on the drive (in case you need it in the future).
I found I had one project in my 2013 photos which was causing Lightroom's scan of my database to fail. So I ended up creating metadata riders for that one project and imported it after I got the rest of my images imported.

Image files exported from Aperture do not arrive at Photoshop Elements 11

In Aperture preferences, I have nominated PSE 11 as an external editor.
When I try to send an image, I get the Adobe start-up window (even though PSE 11
is already open), but the image from Aperture does not arrive.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do, please?

The odds are that you are using the wrong file as the external editor. You want this one:
The easily visible file is the welcome screen alias.

Downsized images when imported from Aperture

The latest batch if images I imported into iPhoto from Aperture were somehow downsized to half the size, ie from 3888x2592 to 1944x1296. In other words, cut in half. This has never happened before. Previously, the iPhoto image had the same dimensions as the image in Aperture. Would this have something to do with Lion? I need images with over 3000 pixels on at least one side to sell them. Thanks. Larryt

How did you "import into iPhoto from Aperture"?
If you're using the media browser (File -> Show Aperture Library) then what you're getting are you Aperture Previews. The size of these is set in your Aperture Preferences.
If you exported from Aperture then the export preset you used in Aperture is what defines the size of the image.
So, no, this has nothing to do with Lion and only to do with the settings you are using in Aperture.
I can't help but wonder though, why you are using iPhoto at all, if you use Aperture. Is this complexity necessary?

IPad, iPhone image display order from Aperture

When I used to sync from iPhoto, the images were displayed in the same order as the iPhoto album.
Now that I'm syncing from Aperture, the images are being displayed in Filename order. How can I change it so the iPad displays in date order? Is there something I need to do when creating the album?

No, it just seems to be a bug. I have been reporting it to apple some months ago now i think.
It took them 2-3 weeks to understand the issue and aknowledge its a bug.
nothing has moved every since, i am pretty fed up because all my pictures are very mixed up
please do use the aperture-feedback page. i dont get the feeling apple is working on this issue.

Trying to post images to Facebook from within Lightroom

I know that this will work, but unfortunately I have not been able to get this to work, and after spending nearly 3 hours with technical support, I am no closer than when I started the call.
I get the following error message
This content is currently unavailable
The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page.
Has anyone seen this or know what to do with it since technical support kept getting this and did not know what to do?
I am on Windows 7 with latest updates along with Lightroom 3.4.1 on a 64 bit system with 12 gig of ram. Lightroom was originally installed on D drive but per support, it is now installed on the C drive which resulted in the same behavior.
The account setup on Facebook appears to be corrrect and the image appears to post until clicking on the "view on Facebook" is selected.
Thanks,
David

Yes. All images are imported into lightroom and editable. Green light is also showing on the folders tab just the same as with my c drive. I can move/rename images and folders etc from explorer but then have to locate them for lightroom to find.

Opening up raw files in photshop from aperture

Hi all,
really sorry if this is an old question, couldn't find anything in other threads. I've noticed that when I open up a nef image in photoshop from aperture, the actual print size is much smaller than when opening the file directly from finder. Whilst I like the idea of all my photos being managed by aperture, having to then hugely resize the 'version' open in photoshop to get anything like the size of print I need is a right royal pain and also seems to create huge files (seemingly bigger than doing it directly through finder and photoshop). Am I doing something really stupid? Is there a setting I've missed? Or do I need to engineer a work-around for the files that I want to make into really big prints?
many thanks in advance!

You might start looking for a new computer with windows 7 or 8 64 bit.
Not because windows xp is a bad operating system, but it's not supported by microsoft any longer and more and more software companies are dropping support for xp.
(even one of my favorite open source programs; Krita, dropped support for windows xp)
Plus, new programs seem to be more and more ram hungry and a 64 bit version of windows can make a world of difference.

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?

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.

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.

Images removed from Aperture 2010

1. On the hard drive upon which my vaults are stored, getting a directory called "Images removed from Aperture [name of vault]." Any ideas please as I've only just noticed these on a pretty organised system.
2. My Aperture has always been slow, crashes several times a day even though it was bought new in Jan 2010 and is just back from the Genius bar and still doing the same. Any ideas?
3. One of my largest libraries will no longer open. It was going through a repair and became stuck for a day so I closed it. Since then Aperture will no longer open via clicking on it in the Finder. It does have a vault (I'm guessing 95% up to date) associated with it, but I'm not sure if I should now go to the next step and open the Vault and restore from there (or however I do it).
4. How best to organise my libraries, eg have one for every month (take huge number of images of my boys and client shoots) or have one per year with projects of months within. I have then albums for the events under those months. I don't (yet) use Folders as haven't found a use for that extra level or organisation, but should I?
5. Is it ok to copy the contents of Show Package contents and use that to make an additional copy. I'd read that I could Show Package contents, then select all with "." a period, then select Kind.. Images and then just copy the contents to another directory. I'm thinking of this route given my unreliability of Aperture, original the trial then used the serial number to upgrade beyond trial.
6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
Lots of Qs, my first post
thanks

These contains masters that were removed from the library between vault backup operations.

By Aperture you mean your computer system? Without more information it would be difficult to answer this. What did Apple say when you brought it in?
If you got Aperture in Jan 2010 you started with version 2 correct? What version are you running now?

Large libraries can take over a day to do repairs or updates. It's tough to wait but most times that's the best course of action. Have you tried to repair it again? If you can;t open it or repair it and you have a vault for it you might as well restore it. That's what the vault is for. If you decide to restore and have questions post back.

This is a huge topic and best addressed in a separate post. There are plenty of resources covering this topic both in this discussion group, in the Aperture users manual and on the web. Familiarize yourself with them and than post back with specific questions.

What your describing doesn't make sense from a systems standpoint. The most it would do, if it worked, is get out your image files and previews but in no way that Aperture could use unless you imported them. Even if it worked you would lose all your adjustments, keywords etc.
It's never a good idea to go into the Aperture library at the package level. The smallest misstep can have bad outcomes. If you ever need to copy the library you just need to drag the .aplibrary file.
6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
As long as you have the serial number you can install from either.

It would be best if in future posts you tried to focus on a single issue. Long posts usually don't get the kind of response you would like as they can be hard for the reader to get through. Be specific and you're more likely to get multiple responses. You may want to take a look at [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] to get some idea as to how these groups work.
Good luck and welcome to the list.

Missing folders, albums and images when Migrating from iPhoto to Aperture

I have 3,333 image in iPhoto (v.7.1.3). I'd like to import the entire library into Aperture (v.2.1) and use that primarily to edit and organize the images from here on out. Problem is, when I try to import the iPhoto library from Aperture, it only imports half of the images (1,553 images). I tried deleting the Aperture library and re-importing everything but had the same result. Any suggestions would be appreciated -- I'm eager to get started in Aperture after years of iPhoto.

Hope we get an answer - I'm in the same situation as you, though I just went from iPhoto to A2.x on an older G5 tower. I've been debating whether to take the time to go through them, reorganize "better" than they were under iPhoto or wait for a more elegant solution...

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...

Images imported from Aperture showing up 'washed out' in Lightroom.

I am aware that Lightroom uses ProPhoto RBG. When i export images from Aperture to a folder then import into Lightroom the images appear very different. Is there a setting i am missing as the images seem 'washed' out in Lightroom. When i export to the desktop and open in Photoshop they look the same as in Aperture. After i import to Lightroom and open in Photoshop they still look washed out.
New to Lightroom and trying to find the right alternative to Aperture.
Many Thanks in advance.

You are probably right, it is an issue with color profiles and gamut. Aperture does use a different raw converter, which will create some variance. In fact, many like the look of straight Aperture raw conversions over straight ACR conversions. But if the washed out look is dramatic, and Photoshop opens your raw files okay, then it must be a profile issue.
It may help to explain how you are exporting from Aperture. Are your source files raw files, PSDs, TIFFs, or JPEGs? Are you exporting masters, or are you exporting versions? If you're exporting versions, take a look at your "source preset" when exporting. What color profile are you embedding?
Although if you are embedding any color profile, Photoshop and Lightroom should pick it up.
All I've read is that Lightroom manages profiles more transparently than Photoshop, but perhaps someone could jump in here and say how it is managed.
Finally, what purpose are you exporting and importing into Lightroom? If you're migrating your library to a Lightroom catalog, you may be best served by using the Aperture migration plug-in.
Aperture import plugin now available
The plug-in still has issues with foreign characters, importing all previews, and face keywording and keywording previews. You'll be better off waiting until these issues are fixed. Even if you can't, the plug-in would still be a better option than a manual attempt, unless you're doing something other than migrating your Aperture library.
