Upsampling from Aperture?

How can you upsample from Aperture to Photoshop when using as an external editor? I primarily used to open RAW files directly into PS and could upsample there. How can I do this from Aperture, if at all possible?
I know in the export menu in the prefs you can set the dpi when exporting. Is this where it can be done? If yes, what would be a good dpi to set it to as an upsample for 2x the original size? Would that be at 600 dpi?

Aperture converts raw file to the image you see on the screen. When using external editor, such as PS, you can send either tiff or pds file. This should be full size resolution - meaning whatever pixel x pixel your sensor captures (with a small exception as to few edge pixels that each raw processor choose to ignore).
Once in PS, you can upscale/upsample your image to your need using whichever algorithm you prefer. Once saved, it should take you back to Aperture with upsampled tif/pds file and stacked.
Since you are already familiar with PS and are using it as an external editor, why not keep doing what you have been with PS?
Cheers

How to sync both from hard drive folders and from Aperture?

I have the following problem. So far I was syncing photos directly from my hard drive folders and everything was fine. Recently I decided to add some photos from Aperture albums. When I did this all previous photos synced from HD were deleted. When I switched back to syncing from folders, the photos from Aperture were deleted. It looks that it is impossible to sync from both sources. Anyone had this problem and found the solution?

I couldn't figure this out on my device, so I just consolidated them into one sync folder by copying photos.
Good thing I have extra disc space.....

Copying pictures from Aperture 3

My wife wants to upload some of our picutres to the Costco web site for printing. She's been copying the individual images from Aperture to a folder on our desktop. In doing so she's noticed that the individual file sizes are quite small and that they're nowhere near the full size of the individual image files. How should she be copying the pictures so she gets a larger file size?

How should she be copying the pictures so she gets a larger file size?
How did she copy the files to the desktop? By dragging them from Aperture's Browser window? Then she will only have exported the previews, not the full size images.
To export full size images,
select the image you want to export in the Browser.
Then use the command "File > Export > Version(s)" from the main menu bar
In the panel that will pop up, select a suitable "Export preset", for example "Jpeg - Original size".
If the exported image is still to small, set the "Export Preset" to "Edit" and check the export preset, if it has been modified.

Sorting order of pictures from Aperture in an iPod slideshow

I've recently got a video iPod and have transferred all my photos to it from Aperture. I found that it was necessary to create an album for every project in my Aperture library in order for the projects to show up on the iPod.
Having got all my projects (as albums) listed on the iPod, I want to be able to view them as slideshows. However, there's been a 'scattering effect' in the sorting of all the pictures in each album: overall, they're broadly in the correct order, but many pictures have been scattered out of the order they're supposed to be in.
For example, in one particular album, which is of a two-day shoot, the pictures are broadly chronological on the iPod but many pictures are out of sequence. Sometimes they're displaced just a few positions from where they should be. Sometimes they're on completely the wrong day (e.g. a handful of day 1 shots are intermingled with the day 2 pictures). It's easy to see that the ordering is wrong by looking at the 5x5 album preview on the iPod, and of course the slideshow reflects that order.
My photos are all dated correctly (in terms of Mac datestamp and EXIF image data), and they're named sequentially (in the form "### image name.jpg", where ### is a three-digit number starting from 001). In Aperture, the pictures are set to be ordered by filename, and they do appear in the right order there, but once they've made it across to the iPod they're out of sequence. I can't see any reason for the new iPod ordering: it seems entirely arbitrary, yet it's the same after every synch, and it doesn't correspond to any setting I can make in Aperture as far as I can see.
My iPod's date setting is correct and the 'shuffle slideshow' option is turned off. (Though I don't think that either fact is relevant - especially not 'shuffle', as the pictures are clearly in the wrong order in the album previews and the slideshow just reflects that ordering.)
I want and need my pictures to be in their correct numerical/chronological sequence. If they're in the wrong order, the slideshow facility is completely useless. I've seen similar questions asked by other users on this forum, but none has yet received a satisfactory answer.
Someone, please put me out of my misery and tell me how to make this work as it should!

Thanks a lot for the answer. But what an absolute pain in the nether regions! The situation as it stands is totally unacceptable, and I really didn't want to have to mess about with iPhoto any more. I bought Aperture to replace iPhoto, not to act as a back-end to it.
I sincerely hope that Apple will address this issue, and soon. The combination of Aperture and iPod is frankly not fit for purpose. And when you consider that the 'free' software equivalent (iPhoto plus iPod) is just fine, you start to feel a little ripped off.

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.

Cannot print from Aperture v.2.1.2 to an Epson Artisan 800 printer

I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 800 printer and I would like to be able to print from Aperture. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do so, in spite of multiple conversations with the Epson support group. I am able to print from other applications, such as TextEdit, Safari, and iPhoto. However, when I try to print from Aperture, I never get any output from the printer. Depending on the image that I try to print from Aperture, I will see an error message flash on the printer's display screen.
I captured the following error message from the "system.log" file:

I am having this problem on both my iMac G5 and my wife's MacBook. Both are running the latest versions of Mac OS X (10.5.6) and the latest version of Aperture.
If anyone has been able to print from Aperture to an Epson Artisan 800 printer, please let me know how you did it. Thanks.

I run 10.4.11 and am unfamiliar with that specific Epson. However step one with Epson troubleshooting is to do any OS updates then download and install the latest Epson driver, even if what you are using is current. The new install will simply install over the old installation. Repair Permissions via Disk Utility immediately before and again immediately after both the OS updates and the printer driver installation.
Once good Epson paper and a new driver installation are done the final step is to carefully follow Gary Ballard's excellent color management tutorials:

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!

Does AppleTV2 limit the number of photos it will display when streaming from Aperture when streaming to the TV?

I am new to AppleTV. I bought it and an iPad2 at about the same time. I've been an Aperture user for years but not so much lately. I am having fits with Aperture crashing as soon as I open it. I mean on the first click or before. I simply can't get into Aperture at all during the last 20 tries or so. I'm really rather freaked out about it. I have a wedding to upload and a few other recent events totally thousands of photos that I can't get off the SD cards. Thankfully I'm not a professional but my niece is anxious to see her photos nonetheless.
I don't know if the galleries in MobileMe even exist anymore but that was my idea as an alternative place to try to access photos from my computer to see them on AppleTV. It might have been my high level of frustration and despair but I could not find a way to move the photos to MobileMe from Aperture (on the day I could get into Aperture). Export does not list MobileMe as an optional destination. It's been too long since I sent anything to MobileMe and I can't remember how I did it.
In the past and even today I've successfully accessed a few of my photos in Aperture through my AppleTV2. Thankfully, Aperture does not need to be open to see the photos. However, my problem is that when I stream through AppleTV I can only get to a miniscule fraction of my photos. I have a selection of projects that will appear on my TV but the vast majority of the projects list only ONE photo in the project when there are dozens, hundreds or thousands in the various projects.
I tried making some new projects and that partially worked. Some of the ones I just made still only show one photo but I made one with about a thousand scenic photos that sort of worked. I loaded it to play during a party today and about 500 were listed in the folder when I started the slideshow. I didn't count them as they played, of course, but it certainly seemed they replayed more than I wanted them too in spite of the five second time selection. I will move that to 10 seconds next time. What I really want to do is have access to large groups of different photos I have in Aperture. I want to pull in a mix of trip locations, wildlife, scenic shots, etc. It would be nice if Aperture picked up Smart Albums and not just projects.
I have multiple problems going on: computer freezes, cursor moves but won't click and keyboard becomes unresponsive, flashing artifacts and horizontal lines, CRASHES galore. Right now I'm feeling kind of panicked it's going to crash before I hit "post message". If you can offer any guidance in any of these areas, your help will be deeply appreciated.

John, thanks for pointing out that pathway to send files to MobileMe. I was looking under Export.
Yes, I know that some of my concerns may be better suited to other forums but all of my problems hinge around updating to Aperture 3 and Snow Leopard at the same time. Therefore I have no clue if it's one or the other or a toxic combination of both that has brought me such misery. My problems cross into several categories. I've prowled the forums (communities) for many months looking for advice.
If I can ever get back into Aperture I will surely try your "update previews" suggestion. I did the Repair Permissions and it just finished as I was typing here. It opened Aperture for a couple of seconds and crashed in the background. I got the same crash with the Repair Database. I'm now doing the third Option/Command option in Aperture of rebuilding the database. I don't know what to do if those repairs/rebuilds don't work.
I have the program on my number one hard drive with over 300 GB free space. My libraries are on my second 1 TB HD with 369 GB of free space. I've been accessing Aperture with nothing else running and that doesn't help. I have four 512 MB DDR2 FB-DIMM cards. I would love to have more RAM but that's all I've got right now. I also wonder if my Graphics Card is toast for the new OS and version of Aperture. I don't know enough about computers to figure this out and I'm hoping someone will have the solution I need.

How do I export from Aperture to iPhoto?

Ok, I am very new at all of this, and find it quite confusing.
I took several hundred raw photos and imported them into Aperture. I believe they are all in a 'project', the yellow box looking icon? Then, I created numerous folders inside this project, in which I carefully sorted all my photos by subject - about 18 folders. Then, I worked with each folder, fine tuning each image, and adding exif metadata, and rating each image. So far so good.
Now, I want to bring all this images (as full size jpegs) into iPhoto.. this is where I am getting bogged down. There is an export function in Aperture, and an import function in iPhoto: which do I use?
I have been experimenting with various scenarios, but nothing seems to be working the way I want.. specifically, to have all my images in iPhoto - IN THE SAME STRUCTURE as I have in Aperture. When I did manage to bring them into iPhoto, they all came over in one big massive event, leaving all my sorting and ratings behind. This can't be right.. I don't want to resort them all again, moving them into the appropriate folders. And I don't want to have to re-enter the exif metadata and ratings again.
Can someone please help me with this?

Export from Aperture and then import to iPhoto.
Alternatively, you can share your Previews with iPhoto but that gets only the Preview.
FWIW: your workflow makes no sense. It's like writing your novel in TextEdit then opening it in Word to Spell Check and then copying it back to TextEdit. Why not just write your novel in Word? Aperture is not an editor. It's a complete replacement for iPhoto. It will do everything that iPhoto does, and then more. Or if you want to stick with iPhoto, get an editor and use it as an external editor in that.

HP B8850 Page Size Error Printing from Aperture 2 (or iPhoto)

I am trying to print on 13x19 (B+) size paper to an HP Photosmart Pro B8850 printer. I get this error when printing from Aperture --> "Page Size Error: Paper size selected in the print driver does not match the paper loaded in the printer IN tray."
Aperture 2.1.2
Mac OS X 10.5.6
HP Photosmart Pro B8800 Series Print Driver 2.3.1
I can set the paper size to 13x19 (B+) in the Aperture print dialog, but under the Print Settings button there is no option for paper size, only paper type. So apparently the size that the printer is expecting in the driver does not match the 13x19 that is loaded in the printer. I was able to verify this by leaving all print settings for 13x19 and loading an 8.5 x 11 sheet in the printer. It pulled the paper through and started printing, but the print was scaled to fit onto the 8.5 x 11!
So in other words, the way I'm seeing it, even though I am setting the paper size for 13x19 in Aperture's print dialog, the printer thinks it's suppose to print on 8.5 x 11.
To make matters worse, there is no Page Setup menu item in Aperture to set the paper size in the print driver directly. I would have assumed that the Aperture print dialog was "smart enough" to pass the page size parameter to the HP printer driver, but that is apparently not happening.
I spoke with HP tech support and they were surprisingly helpful. With their help I was able to print on 13x19 paper with HP's bundled software package, but I had to export my file from Aperture and import it into HP's software. Now that's a good first step which assured me there is nothing wrong with the printer itself, but obviously I purchased Aperture to use it's more elegant and supposedly streamlined interface to make my prints.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Any solutions? Suggestions? I have searched this forum, HP's support forum, DP Review, Google and not finding much. I can't believe I'm the only guy trying to print on 13 x 19 from Aperture using this printer. I suspect it's not printer specific though. Could be my system I guess. I plan on calling Apple Care depending on what type of response I get here.

I don't know if this may help, but recently we had a discussion about problems with Aperture's custom paper size not working correctly:
The solution was to define a paper size outside Aperture:
In any application, for example Preview, try to print something and the print dialog comes up. At this point click on Paper size and choose Manage Custom Sizes. You can define a new paper size here. This new custom size will then appear when you go to Aperture print dialog under paper size. It solved my problems with custom paper sizes here, for some reason (a bug?) defining a custom paper size within Aperture itself did not work correctly for me.

Ipad won't sync with photos from Aperture - library cannot be found

Ok I give up. When trying to sync my photos onto my new ipad from Aperture in iTunes I keep getting the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications. Well the library is where it should be in the Home folder and then pictures. I have the latest version of iTunes and Aperture. The only similar setting I can find in Aperture preferences is under Previews and Share Previews with ilife and iwork, no mention of itunes?
I've gone into my Aperture show contents and deleted the cache folder ipod photo cache (I previously synced to my iphone 3GS). It works syncing to iphoto, as I have tested it and the iphoto is in the same folder as the Aperture library so they are in the right location.
I am now at a loss as to what to try next......PLEASE HELP ME....
I don't want to have to have a Aperture library and an iphoto library on the go!

Hi,
iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found.
If you have an external drive connected to your Mac, disconnect that, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and try syncing photos from Aperture.

How to transfer pics from Aperture to thumb drive to print

I have a photo printer that I have to put the pictures in thumb drive in order to print, how I do that from Aperture?
Thanks

What formats can you print from the thumb drive?
You could export the versions to the thumb drive.
or
You could try printing to file: Just choose print in Aperture, set up your print parameters and choose save as PDF.
I would try both, and see what works best for you.

Iphoto 09 "Show Aperture Library" can't load images from Aperture 3.1

I'm trying to create a calendar in iPhoto 09 using my photos in Aperture 3.1. When I select from iPhoto "Show Aperture Library" I just get the spinning wheel. Below is my environment and what I have tried:
Environment:
* iMac 27 3 ghz
* 4 G Mem
* 10.6.5 OSX
* iLife 09
* Aperture 3.1
* All updates applied
Below is what I have tried/verified:
* In Aperture, Preferences, set the previews to share with iLife and iWorks "Always"
* Reviewed export Presets - didn't see anything that may apply
* Verified it worked on my old iMac (20 inch 2 ghz, ilife 09, Aperture Trail version 3.0.1)
* Created a new Aperture library (new mac) and still can not see it from iPhoto
Unfortunately, I can get into the Trail version on the old mac (expired) to see if something is configured differently or if this function is not supported in Aperture 3.1.
I know I can export from Aperture and Import into iPhoto, but thats seems like a lot of work for what I need to accomplish.
Someone please show me the light!

It should work in 3.1 also so thats not the issue.
First if you try to access the Aperture library from an application other then iPhoto, say mail, does that work? If it does then the problem is most likely with iPhoto. If you get the 'spinning beach ball' in mail then its looking like Aperture.
Assuming its Aperture you should go through the steps outlined at [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]. Do those and let us know what happens.

How to get MobileMe photo galleries into iWeb or from Aperture?

I currenlty use MobileMe for an iWeb published site, on which I have a link to a several dozen photo galleries, all pub;ished from Aperture. iPhoto has an iWeb "button", but Aperture does not so far as I can see. I am trying to find the easiest way to keep all of my stuff intact once MM dies next year. How can I migrate, not link, my MM photo galleries into iWeb, and/or publish them from Aperture into iWeb? Once I have the photo galleries as part of iWeb, then I'll be able to use it to publish to another web hosting service. Thanks!

Do you have the original image files used to make up those MMe Galleries? If so you can group them into albums in iPhoto and use the iWeb Album page or Photos page and ignore the MMe galleries.
If the files are in Aperture and there's no Aperture section in iWeb's Media Browser you will have to export those files out of Aperture as originals and drag them either into iPhoto or into an iWeb photos page. I don't use Aperture so an unsure of what can be done between Aperture and iWeb.
If those galleries are the only copy of the photos you have you'll need to download the file (if the gallery allows it) and import into iPhoto before going into iWeb.

Why does a face show up on my iPad when I have deleted it from aperture

I am using aperture to tag a modestly large library (about 22,000 photos) all for personal use. I've been going through these photos and tagging faces. As a sort of "holding pen" for faces that I wasn't sure about in the unnamed faces strip at the bottom of the faces page, I put ?? (i.e., two question marks) as the name for a bunch of photos. Then I went through that face and either put the right name in, when I was able to see the full picture, or deleted the face - i.e., clicked the little x in the upper right hand corner of the box surrounding the face.
Most of the images disappeared just fine, and the "??" face no longer appears on the cork board in my aperture. I can find no evidence anywhere that I can see that the ?? face tag still exists in aperture.
But it must, because when I sync with my ipad, there is a face called ?? and there are pictures in it. When I look at those pictures in aperture on my Mac, I can't find the face - I must have deleted it.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
I have been having trouble with aperture syncing in other ways - I was getting a variety of errors in itunes when syncing the ipad - and so have gone through many steps, including repairing permissions in my aperture database, repairing the database, regenerating previews, turning synchronization off and on, repairing permissions on my hard drive, deleting the preferences (plist) file, and so forth, but even doing a clean installation of the photos onto my ipad (i.e., turning off sync and deleting photos on ipad, then turning it back on and putting the photos back on from aperture after doing all the above steps), I am STILL getting this ?? face.
All help will be gratefully received.

Homesharing has issues that have not been fixed over several versions of itunes and ios.
Only kind of fix is go back through your library and retag it.
