Understanding adjustments effects on the masters?

Hello! First time post here
I have my master RAW files on my external HD, I import them into Aperture 3, I make adjustments, then I export jpegs to easily use for many things.
Now, I want to clean up my aperture library. I dont want projects just hanging out in there that I am done with. My question is, are the adjustments I made to the RAWs in Aperture part of the master it is referencing? If I delete the files from Aperture library, I know the masters will still exist, but how about the adjustments? Did they become embedded? If I were to later re-import some of those RAW images, would I have to redo the adjustments? In the end, I want to SAVE the adjustments I have done. I have no need for un-edited RAW files. Thank you!

Yes
Its not saving a whole set of images right? that would take up lots of space.
If you consolidate masters, yes it saves the images in the library. If you don't consolidate masters, it leaves them in their current location. They don't take up any more space either way. Also, either way, you can save space by not exporting previews.
And if I wanted to workwith these images again I can re-import that library?
Yes or just open it as a stand alone library
Will I have to import the RAWs again too?
If you maintain the link to the referenced by leaving those files and that library in the same place you put it at the the time of export, everything will be as you left it. If you don't maintain that link, re-importing won't help. OR you could consolidate the masters into that library so you don't have to worry about it
How about the option of exporting masters into a new folder on my HD? Are those newly exported masters embedded with the adjustments?
No
Or would it be the same as now where those RAWs would be in their original form and Aperture would be holding the "info" of the adjustments?
Yes

    hi, just don't let your master bus overload.
    everthing else, these days, is fair game.
    you can probably let you master bus overload, on
    second thought, based on the "hit" records currently
    prevailing.
    I agree.
    Just distort the crap out of your peaks,you'll be right up there with the big boys.
    Take the Limiting plugin of your choice,and set the threshold to -50dB,and then the release to 5mS. That is a sure-fire way to get it heard on the Radio.If the meters aren't completely going nuts,you are not applying enough limiting.

  • How do I effectively join the Macs to the AD?

    Hi. First, I must qualify that I am NOT a network individual. Some of the research I've done, I've managed to follow, but I don't have the technical know-how to fully understand it all. I desparately need help, please.
    I work in a medium-sized environment, about 50 PCs and we employ Windows Server 2003. I've been charged with making 10 or so Macs work in Active Directory. Our Mac users constantly run into expiring netword passwords every 30 days (extending this is not an option because of the nature of the work).
    How do I effectively join the Macs to the AD and allow changes to network passwords from the Mac?  So far, for every Mac users, I've used SMB to connect to server files/folders. But when the users' password expires, they are 1) not notified that their passwords are expiring and 2) are not able to change their passwords from their Macs when their passwords expires. I've tried binding my Mac to the AD and used a free software called ADMon to monitor my own expiring network password.  And that's proving useless because it's monitoring the local password for the Mac instead of the network password. 
    Mac users are mostly on OS Lion, one Mac user on Snow Leopard.
    I would really appreciate any help/advice you can provide.
    Thanks!

    AD is still broken with Lion as at 10.7.2. May want to read this thread to try the workarounds, mainly Page 5, while Apple sort it out.

  • How do you add multiple effects to the same clip

    How do you had multiple effects to the same clip. I have tried for hours
    I would like to add sepia and aged movie to the same clip. I heard it can be done, but have not figured out how to do it.
    anyone please.

    Normally you can apply only one video effect at a time. But for Sepia, black and white, and others that can be done through the video Adjustments tab, you are in luck.
    Aged Movie should already have a bit of a sepia tone.
    If you want more of a sepia tone or you want to fine tune the sepia effect you can do it with the Clip Inspector/Video Adjustments tab.
    Note: Thanks to Jeff Carlson of MacWorld for this tip.
    If you're looking for a washed-out sepia appearance, first open iMovie's preferences and turn on the Show Advanced Tools option, which adds more controls to the Video Adjustments HUD and other areas of the program. Select the clip you want to alter and press the V key. Set Saturation to 0 percent, and then drag the Red Gain slider to 143 percent, the Green Gain slider to 90 percent, and the Blue Gain slider to 53 percent (feel free to tweak these settings to customize the results). Click on Done when you're finished. Note that the clip thumbnail still appears in color, as the video was shot, but the preview reflects your changes.--JC
    If you need to apply the same settings to all clips, first select the clip you have adjusted. Then Edit/Copy. Then Edit/Select All. Then Edit/Paste Adjustments.

    The error message "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" appears when I try to use the effects in the quick editing mode in my Elements 13. The baton OK has to be pressed several times for loading all effect patterns. The error returns when selecting the particular pattern.
    The problem does not appear, if PH Elements 13 is executed in the administrator mode.
    The available computer resources are rather  large enough: CPU INTEL i7 4 cores,  16GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 32GB SSD, Windows 8.1.
    Please, advice how to solve this problem? Maybe, there is patch or updating available?

    Dear n_pane,
    Thank you for the quick answer. In the meantime I found other way to pass by the problem. I increased the cache level up to the maximum value 8.
    The errors reported as "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" vanish, but I still do not understand, why PSE 13 cannot work properly by the lower cache levels, having available maximum resources it needed (10443 MB RAM and 26.53GB SSD space for scratches), or cannot collaborate with the fast SSDs properly.
    I wish you all the best in the New Year 2015!

    Recently downloaded a trial version of CC and when trying to use the Adjustment Brush in ACR it brings up the message 'All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image'. I've downloaded this as an update to CS5 on my new i Mac. Would appreciate suggestions to remedy this. Rhonda

    I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything."  In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens.  You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.

  • Adding 2 effects to the same clip!!!

    Hi,
    Can you add 2 different video effects to the same clip in iMovie 9? You used to be able to do it in the old iMovie - how can you do it in this version. For example if I want to have aged film and vignetting on the SAME clip?

    In the older versions of iMovie, you render as you go, so you could pile render on top of render. However, in the new iMovie, all rendering is done at the end, so you can only do one video effect per clip (more if you count the video adjustments).
    However, you can simulate the effect of multiple renders by
    1) create a project just for this clip you want to manipulate. Drag the appropriate clips into the Project from the Event
    2) Apply the first effect. SHARE the project using QuickTime in Current Dimensions in Apple Intermediate Codec.
    3. Import the resulting file back into iMovie and place it into an Event.
    4. Drag this clip into your main project and apply the second effect.

  • AutocapitalizationType only has effect on the first set??!

    Anyone encountered using autocapitalizationType or autocorrectionType? It seems that setting of these properties of a UITextField only has effect on the first set. Once you start typing, you can't stop it. I'm not sure what is required to reset the bahviour. Any ideas?

    Changing it does not affect the passwords already set, but you can expire the passwords of your users and hence making them change their passwords. Which might cause a bit of anger (passwd -f <user>).

  • How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

    Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
    256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
    1T Hard Drive in reg slot
    16 GB Ram
    Mavericks 10.9.4
    iphoto 9.5.1
    I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
    How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
    I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import.  As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD.  Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited.  How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
    If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
    If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
    Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
    I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me.  Thank you.

    All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events.  It is a start but not complete.
    Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
    If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
    Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
    Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit.  i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
    As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos.  And empty the trash always before merging projects.
    You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists.   I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
    You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

  • I have changed my main computer and now i have no masters for many of my photo's, i still have the old machine. How can i move the masters over?

    I recently upgrade my old G5 to a new iMac. I bought this as a refurb however so it came half set up. I did the usual swap of data files, but now many photo's say they do not have the original master so i can do nothing with them. How can i transfer the old Masters from my old machine to the new one?
    I must admit i find the whole aperture filing system very difficult to get my head around.
    I simply want to make files and store photo's in them! Any help on the masters would be appreciated

    Hallo,
    what is your current MacOS on your new machine? MacOS 10.7.3? And your Apeture version 3.2.3?
    How did you import your images into Aperture on your G5? Did you store them in the Aperture Library as managed masters or as referenced masters outside the Aperture Library?
    If they are referenced, then you need to locate the folder with the master image files on your old mac and to tranfer them to your new mac, and then to reconnect masters and versions.
    If they are managed, then probably some permissions got corrupted, when you transfererd the library and you should use the Aperture Library First Aid Tools to repair the permissions and to repair the library. See this on how to repair permissions and library:
    Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    If you do not remember, if your library is referenced or managed, open Aperture on your old Mac and select one of the images in the browser.  If the Badge-Overlays show arrows in the lower right corner, then the imaster image files are referenced, also if on Ctrl-clicking the image you see the option "SHow in Finder" in the pop-up menu. Select this option, and it will open a Finder window with the folder containing your master images. Transfer these images to your new mac.
    To reconnect the version to the masters on your new mac:
    open Aperture, then select the images that need reconnecting in the browser,
    then select "File -> Locate referenced files" from the Aperture menu.
    In the window that pops up select an image to reconnect in the upper part of the window and select the corresponding master image file in the lower part of the window. If both images do match, the reconenct button will become available. Click "reconnect all".
    Good Luck
    Post back if you have more questions.
    Regards

    This looks like the final logo was created with several layers probably in Illustrator, then the file was most likely imported into After Effects and revealed by animating mask paths.

  • How can I reduce the size of the MASTERS folder inside Photos?

    I was trying to find out why my Photos app database is SO large.  I have 8 gig of jpg photos.
    I chose to NOT copy them when I imported them into Photos.
    Yet my Photos app database is 8g as well!  That's a lot of space to use when I didn't even copy the JPG into it.
    So I went hunting to learn what was going on.
    You can go to your Pictures Folder and find the Photos Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Here is what I found:
    The "Masters" folder is very small.  300MB.
    The "Previews" folder is a similar size.
    "Thumbnails" are under 1G.
    It's the "Resources" folder that is many gigs in size.
    Very interesting.  So in a sense, it could be even worse! 
    That is, apparently the setting prevented the "Masters" folder from getting 8 gig of photos copied into it. 
    But even so, "Resources" ended up with 6.5G in it -- even though no files were copied!
    Wild. 
    Other photo management apps (e.g., Lightroom) have sort of a 10% overhead, not a 90% overhead -- i.e., close to the same size as the actual photos themselves.
    I should probably start a fresh question, now that you have solved half the mystery:  Yes, the actual photos were not imported into Masters, but Resources gets really big!
    So here is my question:  What the heck is going on with RESOURCES?  How can I make that folder smaller?  I mean, at this point, if I were to choose to import all my photos, it looks like that would double the size of my Photos installation.  Of course, I'm not going to do that.  Because, already, I don't have enough space for everything on my hard drive.  And Photos, even when not importing, takes up a lot of space.
    I need to get this folder under control.  How can I?

    Cool article, but not relevant.
    I did not import from iPhoto nor Aperture.
    I have my photos as JPEG files in a folder on my hard drive.
    Photos, the app, did not make any duplicates. Rather, it made a giant Resources folder, almost as big as my folder of Image files.
    FInder Info confirms the size increase and lost capacity on my hard drive.
    But I appreciate the link.  That could certainly give someone the same impression.
