Using aperture to update iPhoto EXIF data?

I recently went back and added geocoding data to a number of pictures in my iPhoto library (i.e. I used HoudahGeo to add the relevant EXIF tags to the "original" JPG/NEF files buried in the iPhoto library).
iPhoto lacks Aperture's "Update EXIF data based on master" functionality, so this data is still missing both from the iPhoto database (i.e. it still appears blank in the photo's "get info" window) and from the "modified" file's EXIF tags.
Is there a way I can use my copy of Aperture to make this update? (I'm still very much learning how to use this program, so sorry if the question is naive.) Is there a way to, e.g., "mount" an iPhoto library in Aperture, run the "Update EXIF" command and then have everything be exactly as it was in iPhoto, except for 3 updated EXIF tags on each photo?
Otherwise, has anyone else found a good way to retroactively geocode iPhoto pictures (without losing iPhoto albums, ratings, events, keywords, hidden-ness, etc.)?
Thanks!

This is now easy to due in iPhoto -- thanks to the new "re-scan for location information" menu item added by a recent software update.

IPhoto exif data

Does iphoto strip some of the exif data from photos? I'm currently using iPhoto as my photo management tool and I also use photoshop elements to do some editing. When I view the photo info in iPhoto, it seems like the data is pretty skimpy.
Specifically, I'm looking for white balance data (right now). I'm taking a photography course and was testing different white balance settings... and those settings aren't showing up in my photo info. I REALLY don't want to have to buy another program like Aperture, especially considering I already have photoshop. If iPhoto has this info somewhere, can you help me find it?!?!
Please help!! Thanks!
Erin

Erin:
iPhoto doesn't strip the data it just doesn't read all of it. You can get all of the data read by using a 3rd party application likeEXIF Viewer. Just put the app in the Dock and drag a photo from iPhoto onto it. It will open and give you the following information:

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Problem creating a 'used sources' list based on EXIF data in InDesign CS5

Hello everyone,
I recently started to use InDesign CS5 to work on school projects. These projects regularly require us to have a list of sources, not only for citations and referenced work, but also for images. As I sometimes make quite long documents, keeping track of what image is where, and where I got it from, gets tedious.
I had the idea of generating a caption based on EXIF data, which I'd move to the pasteboard, and group it with the image. The text in the caption has a seperate, numbered paragraph style. On one of the last pages, I generate a table of contents, which the numbered paragraph style selected. I chose to display it using another paragraph style, without page numbers.
What I want to have as the end result is:
Table of contents
1. <Title>. <Author> (<Creation Date>). Retrieved <Date Placed> through <Description>
The captions display correctly, as shown above in the body of the table of contents. The table of contents itself however, shows only the numbering in front of it, and not the variables.
I already tried converting the live captions to static captions, but that doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

OK to use Aperture to maintain iPhoto Referenced Library

I have Aperture and iPhoto. We are an OSX and Windows household. But thanks to the Windows 8 debacle, my wife (the diehard Windows user) has abandoned her PC with all regard to photos and videos (viewing, editing, sharing). Now, I use Aperture most of the time, but my wife uses iPhoto 100% of the time. I manage all the imports with Aperture. (I currently have one referenced library that I use in Aperture of all files and a second default iPhoto Library that is managed but only has post-2010 files in it. Both created in their respective programs, if that matters.)
Coincidentally, we are also at a point where we need to quit adding photos/videos to the PC or we'll exceed its backup capacity.
Now that she is using the iMac, I would like to get the Library organized and minimize my workflow and eliminate duplication. I do not have enough contiguous disk space for single managed aperture library. I have avoided proceeding because iPhoto and referenced files are not recommended by most of the experts here, for well founded reasons. However, now that both apps can use the same library, and Aperture handles referenced libraries so much better... why not go referenced now? I can leave the pre-2010 files on the PC, and keep all the post-2010 imports on the iMac, all in one Library. The fact that nobody is getting into the files on the PC virtually eliminates all the problems I've had in the past.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for any thoughts on this, or hidden gotchas.

No assuming that you have the latest version of both iPhoto and Aperture so there is total interoperability between them

Using Aperture Photos in iPhoto

In using iPhotos Cards, I learnt that I needed to import Aperture Previews into iPhoto 11 to used them. That wasn't a size / storage concern as I was only making a few cards & only used a few images. I have been using Aperture almost exclusively since 2007, have 12k+ images there for my books & slideshows and closed off iPhoto (9.8k images) except for the occasional card, reprint of a book etc.
In making several 2013 calendars in iPhoto11, I would like to utilize many photos from various trips that are now completely in Aperture 3 - Italy, Oregon and other travels and the idea of importing several thousand & having in both libraries seems much but unable to see where I can share Aperture Preview images w/o importing.
Is that a correct assumption?
Thanks....Gene

Larry - thanks as I had NOT read that article. I have Aperture 3.4.3 and iPhoto '11 9.4.2 so I'm all set there. I had opened the libraries before in each application BUT misunderstood what could or couldn't be done in each application!
So if I now understand it, I can switch & open my Aperture library in iPhoto (and vice versa also) , have access to the particular project of photos I wish to use in Calendar & Letterpress Cards, make these Calendars & Cards, buy & send off to Apple's Printed Services? Since I don't plan on doing any editing work in iPhoto for these photos, those iPhoto '11 created projects are only viewable there?

Using LSMW to update customer address data via RFBIDE00

Hi, I wonder if anybody has dealed with same issue for using LSMW with program RFBIDE00 to update customer address data.
We need to update the customer address data in the central address management data. Since those fields do not exist in basic structure of BKNA1, for example, C/O name, street 2 to Street 5, I am putting the mapping of the source fields to map to BIADDR2. However, all the data I mapped to BIADDR2 is not updating in the customer records. When looking into the code of RFBIDE00, the codes will only transfer the data from BIADDR2 if the customer account group is marked as consumer which our case is just a sold to, ship to, not consumer.
Does anybody have faced this issue before? Where should the exact central address data be mapped to in RFBIDE00?
We are using ECC6.0. Any advise is appreciated.

Found the answer from SDN - not possible unless using some BUS.

Is it possible for one user to use Aperture and another iPhoto?

I have a new imac 21.5", 3.33ghz, 4gb and I was wondering if it is possible for me as admin user to handle camera downloads automatically with Aperture, and my wife as second user to use iPhoto as automatic camera destination? Any comments would be appreciated.

If you want to use the same account there are a number of possibilities:
1. Set both Aperture and iPhoto to Do Nothing when a camera is connected. Then each one can launch their preferred app themselves. It's just one extra click.
2. Use [Cameras|http://www.flexibits.com> to configure what happens when different cameras are connected.

Using Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11 together

I was wondering how to use them together. I spent a lot of time on Aperture 3 for geotagging every photos + faces and, trying to import them back to iPhoto '11, means losing all those info and start back again.
I was wondering if there's a way for keeping the main library on Aperture 3 but being able to work on it through iPhoto '11.

Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
The only communication between the two is as follows:
Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
That's it.
So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
for geotagging every photos + faces and, trying to import them back to iPhoto '11, means losing all those info
use an Export preset in Aperture that includes location information. There is no way to share Faces, but you can use it as the basis for keywording.

Camera in use error after updating iphoto to ver 6

After updating to iphoto 6 the camera on my macbook pro will not work. When I try to start the application i get a message saying camera in use by another application. However there are no other applications running! Any suggestions?

Heya N,
iPhoto 6 does not interface with the iSight camera in your computer so I'm not sure what program you are trying to use that indicates the camera is in use.
To resolve the issue it would be helpful to know what program is generating the error message.
Basic hardware resets you can try:
PMU
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
PRAM
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
If these resets do not resolve your issue please reply back with what program you are opening when you receive your error message.
Hope that helps.

Using Aperture along with iPhoto

Hey.
I use iPhoto for my image importing... basically everything..
I got my canon xsi and i like to edit some of my pictures more professionally
i have photoshop too.. and i failed to learn to use..
so i was thinking of getting Aperture, and use it only for images that i want to edit.. and stay using iphoto for everything else!
is this stupid? Is Aperture really an effective editing program?
Thanks

Hi Joe Shaheen;
Personally I think that Aperture is a very good way to process my photos. I find that I am able to process a shot in a much short period of time then with anything else I have used. I especially like it for processing my photos I take in RAW with my D300.

IWeb and Aperture: any updates since October?

I've shared the difficulties that others have discussed in getting Aperture, iWeb and iPhoto to play nice together.
I use Aperature now because I have so many photos, and I was having to rebuild my iPhoto cache every day (to the tune of 15-30 minutes), plus I want versioning and better organizational stuff, etc. I distinctly remember hearing in the promo material that Aperture was going to be seamless with iWeb, and it was the main reason I decided to take the leap.
I'm wondering if anyone has made any progress of getting these two apps to talk better to each other? And does Aperture automatically update iPhoto with versions? How do you import additional iPhoto images into Aperture without having to re-import the entire library? Any word from Apple?
Thanks,

Aloha G,
Thanks, and since you asked, here's my usual workflow:
I am a digital painter, which means I use digital photos to provide the pixels that I paint with, using primarily Corel Painter.
I shoot photos and import them into iPhoto for cropping and minor color fixes. I then export the photos to Painter. That means I copy them to the desktop folder that I use to collect all the bits and pieces that will be part of the painting. (That might be a Projects Folder in Aperture).
I then proceed to produce between 5-15 versions of my painting, doing incremental saves. These are full sized files.
When I finish a painting, I export it back to iPhoto as a full sized JPG.
Then I export from iPhoto AGAIN to get a smaller, low-rez file to my project folder on the desktop. I have not figured out how to make a low-rez duplicate in iPhoto without exporting and importing.
I then re-import the smaller file back into iPhoto, and put it in an album with other low-rez paintings, ready to go into iWeb and onto my web site.
I may have to also generate other full size versions to print my paintings in standard sizes -- 5x7, 8x10, etc.
Average file sizes are in the 5-50MB range, though they can get larger.
In my dream world, here's what I'd like:
I'd like to be able to import into a photo handling program. I'd like to edit the photos in Painter directly from iPhoto (which I can do, but iterative save means I save the iterations...where?) Painter complains that Aperture's files are not in a format it can use. I don't see anywhere in Aperture's Preferences to change the way the files are exported for an outside editor.
I'd like the photo program to allow me to do versioning (which Aperture does nicely; iPhoto does not), so I can print whatever sizes I need. I also want the photos to be push-button connected to iWeb because I have already invested a lot of time in creating an iWeb site.
I'd like not to have to create full-size duplicates because of storage issues.
And, now, I have a new problem since the previous post. I currently have Aperture referencing my iPhoto library.
I'm thinking that I will just wait for Aperture to resolve what seem like fairly easy fixes. Meanwhile, I thought I would hand-split my iPhoto library into smaller individual libraries to reduce the cache load. BUT, when I tried to export my iPhotos into smaller libraries, I cannot do it. I cannot drag a photo to the desktop now.
Is that because Aperture is now managing the photos?
Thanks for all your help...

BAPI/function module to create/update vendor master data

Hi
We are on ECC 50 and have a need to update vendor master data through a programatic interface ( non-dialog ) with ABAP. What is a good function module that can be used to create/update vendor master data - I looked at BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE and did not find any input interfaces that can be passed to this BAPI.
Previous experiences with the right BAPI for this purpose that can be shared is appreciated. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 26, 2008 5:58 PM

Hi Kiran,
If you want to load the vendor data into sap its better to go with LSMW batch input program.
object 0040
method 0001
program name RFBIKR00
Program type B
this would be a good choice. Recently i did the same.

HT5327 how do i update iphoto

i am unable to see how to update iphoto to 9.2.3 When I check for software updates there are none and i don't see the update prompt when i go to the mac apps store

What version of iPhoto do you have now? If it's an earlier version of iPhoto 9 then use the appropriate updater, iPhoto 9.2.3, from the Apple Downloads webpage.
If your current iPhoto versoin is iPhoto 8 (09) or earlier you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
The App Store only offers the latest version of iPhoto, 9.5, which requires Mavericks.
Happy Holidays

Aperture not seeing iPhoto Libraries on external drive when trying to do a REFERENCED import.

I am trying to bring all my iPhoto libraries (one for each year) together into one REFERENCED Aperture library. I have the iPhoto libraries on an external hard drive and want the Aperture Library on my main drive. Whe I go to the Import window I do see my external hard drive on the list of drives, but the files do not show up. It shows folders and any readable files in the folders, but not the iPhoto Libraries, which are not in any folders. I am running out of space on my hard drive, so want to do a referenced import, not a managed one, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried doing the copy drag and drop method (holding command+option and dragging and dropping from finder to Aperture, but it still copies the whole library to the main drive, it does not reference it). Help, please!

Whe I go to the Import window I do see my external hard drive on the list of drives, but the files do not show up.
Aperture will not show you files in libraries in the import panel. iPhoto libraries are not imported using the import panel. Importing the files using the import panel would result in importing a mess of thumbnails, previews, and originals, and you would lose your organisation in events and albums and probably most of your metadata tags.
You import iPhoto Libraries as library:
File > Import > Library
If the library you are importing is referenced, it will be imported referenced, if it is managed, the images will be imported managed. You can relocate the managed originals to your external volume directly after import using the command "File > Relocate originals"
