Want to transfer images RAW&Previews with star ratings & alterations

Used someone elses computer to clean up a host of pictured from a holiday. I now want to export/import or otherwise transfer them to our own Mac and Aperture Library. I tried Exporting and Exporting but loose the alterations made and star ratings. Anyone know how I should do this to avoid losing the changes made?
Grateful for any advise, Floor
PS. Just in case this matters, not using AP 3 yet on either Mac.

Ian,
Apologies... Just for the record, I was wrong... I just had another look and the pictures were in fact correctly imported with the star rating and changes... I think I could not see that possibly because the previes (?) had not been created or so... that is the bit I still do not understand.
Bottom line it worked - I just didn't realise it.
Thanks for helping out. Floor

Green tint in RAW previews with Panasonic

I upgraded Aperture to 3.3. Previously I used the terminal "iregister"command to fix the green tint problem with Aperture and my RAW images with Panasonic GF3. The problem came back after the update and the terminal fix does not work now. I also tried regenerating previews without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Raphael, you got me there
The lsregister fix is a puzzle to me as well - what Frank Caggiano probably would call woodoo and waving a dead chicken over the computer. But sometimes it magically seems to work. It can help, if the latest raw support is installed, but the system cannot find it for specific media kinds. The lsregister command indexes the database of supported media types know to the operating system (launchservices.db). This fix has originally been posted by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command (there is no blank in "LaunchServices.framework" - but it is impossible t post such a long line here)
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

How Do I Get Images to Preview with out Bitmapped & Rough Edges?

Using InDesign CS (Mac)
I think I read in the manual that vector, and bitmap files will look pixelated when viewed in InDesign.
Is there any way to have my images (tifs, jpgs, vectors etc.) look smooth when previewing in Indesign. I can't get a good feel for how the final design looks when all the images are so bitmapped.
Thanks

Hi, All, I have the same problem, very annoying... I'm doing all of the above and my JPG images display very poorly, pixelated and horrible. When I export to PDF, they look gorgeous, as they do in Photoshop. Why can't I see them the same way in IDCS3? Running Version 5.0.2 on an iMac G5.
Cmd-opt-shift-Y does nothing to improve the display
In Preferences > Display Performance all my settings are on High Quality
And yes, all the links are up-to-date...
Any other ideas?

Issue with Star Ratings in Windows Media Player 12 on Win7

The particular issue I'm having is this. I can star rate my music a 1, 2, 3, or 4. However if I try to rate anyone particular song a 5 star Rating, it shows it as a 0 star rating. This is happening on my desktop system as well as my laptop. I never
had this problem before. And I'm not really sure when this problem started. Also, it shows 5 star rated songs a 0 star rating in explorer as well. Any help to figure out this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all who reply.

Hi Cougar Mutimedia ,
Will the issue occur with specific file type , specific file or all the file ?Have you tried to re-join the music to have a check ?
We can try the built-in troubleshoot tool to have a check :
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories\Windows Media Player Library ,Windows Media Player Settings
Or try the following tool :
Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic?wa=wsignin1.0
If the issue persists,we may need to reinstall the Windows Media Player to have check .
Click “Start” button, type “windows features” in the program search box and hit enter.
1. In the “Windows Features” dialog box, look for “Media Features” and expand it.
2. Clear “Windows Media Player” check box.

LR4 files being imported with star Ratings

I am sure this is a very basic question...one of my LR4 catalogs is importing image files with a 1 * rating already applied to all the images. It does not happen with 3 other catalogs. I'm assuming it's somewhere in the important panel dialogue, but I can't see how to turn it off.
Any advice is welcome.
Stephen

Yes, there was one and I can't seem to open it for editing, (I only get the new preset metadata window) so I have now set the preset metadata dropdown to "none". Can you advise me how to look at it for editing?
On your other point, I found it useful to have more than one catalog because I have worked on 2 major photography projects in the last year. A book, and a major advertising campaign for a government agency. They both required shooting over 5000 images (for each project) and both needed over 20 separate file folders. It was more managable to allocate a unique catalog for each project.
Thanks for the help,
Stephen

Transfer image files from Mac to external drive?

Can someone please help.? I'm a newbie and want to transfer image frile to an external drive...

Well, if you are not doing a complete back up of your system, you can simply drag images to an external drive - that will create a copy there and leave the original in place.

Can I produce an app preview with my Mac Mini and my iPad 2?

I want to produce an app preview with my Mac Mini (~2009), which is running Yosemite, and my iPad 2, which is running iOS 8. Is this possible, even though the iPad 2 doesn't have a lightning connector? If it is, what are the steps to do this? I am not tech-illiterate, but I'm new to Mac.
Thanks for your time!

Can Aperture recognize star ratings or keywords on import?

I do all my initial sorting and culling of images outside Aperture (Photo Mechanic, which I highly recommend). I tag images with star ratings. I would like to import only those photos with a star rating above some threshold. Is there a way for Aperture to recognize those star ratings in the import dialog, such that I could filter the photos that I want to import? I would prefer to do that in place, rather than having to move or copy all those large RAW (NEF) files to another folder just for import into Aperture. A related question would be whether Aperture could filter by keywords or other metadata that is already associated with an image? Thanks, David.

Just wanted to say that your understanding of Referenced and Managed now seems correct. Managed Masters is a very good way to start with Aperture. There is so much to learn, and a few tall conceptual hurdles to clear, that this administration decision can be safely postponed. Aperture makes it easy to change any Image's Master from either status to the other.
In the longer term, however, Referenced Masters are often a better set-up -- and become necessary for large Libraries.
Note that there is no reason not to have a mix. "Managed" and "Referenced" refer the status of each Image's Master. I keep my personal Library on my laptop, and keep as Managed all recently imported Images and all portfolio Images. This allows me complete adjustment, printing, and exporting of those Images whenever I have my computer. All the other Masters are stored on an external drive at work.
But note, too, that Referenced Masters are not backed up in Vaults. If you use Vaults, you will have to back up your Referenced Masters using a method other than Aperture's Vault feature.

Star ratings on iphone aren't displaying proplerly in itunes

Hello,
I am new to the community, so this may be a very stupid problem that i am having.
No matter how many times i sync my iphone with itunes, the star ratings that i have assigned songs on my iphone will not display correctly in itunes.
I understand that the ratings wont sync with the itunes library. I just want the iphone's library that is displaying on my computer screen to match with star ratings on the actual iphone.
Example:
I give a song on my iphone a 1-star rating, connect my iphone to my computer, open itunes and sync my iphone, click on the iphone icon and find the same exact song in my iphone's library,
only to find that the song is showing to have never been given a star rating.
Please help me!!!
My star ratings are very important to me, and i have never had trouble with this before in all of my years of owning apple products.
Thank you in advance.

Sounds like you haven't had and never had Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and now you are wanting to select this after downloading all apps with your iPhone.
With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This will copy all 3rd party apps - paid and free from your iPhone to your iTunes library.
Follow this by selecting Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences and leave this selected. This way you can remove an app from your iPhone by deselecting the app under the apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. To re-install the app on your iPhone at a later date, reselect the app under the apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. After downloading an app with iTunes on your computer, the app will be pre-selected under the apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Sync with iTunes to install the new app on your iPhone. And after downloading an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

I shoot only RAW - no JPEG-files except those visualizing the files on my memorycard or computer. I think i have to refine my question;
1. I know there is possible to make B/W HDR-images.
2. I know the best HDR images are based on RAW-files.
3. When i transfer the images in question to a HDR software they change, so when i view them in the software (either Preview or the HDR software) they are suddenly viewed (and processed) in color.
4. This never happend on my PC so i know it has to do with either Finder or Preview.
5. Do i have to make all my B/W HDR-images on the PC or is it a way for me to change how Finder/Preview show/alter my images?

How do I transfer images from external harddrive with Bridge settings to new computer?

I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that stopped working. My computer tech then made the harddrive out of that computer to an external harddrive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings I have a applied to them, to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

Thanks for your answer. Where is the xmp file located?
That depends on your preference settings. By default Bridge is set to store metadata as a sidecar XMP file. This is the file that has the same filename as its original but it only uses the ".xmp" extension instead of the Raw file extension.
Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move files to other location it automatically selects the xmp files to travel with it.
If you use the menu view / show hidden files you will see what Curt meant by XMP being hidden files, the all have a document icon.
If you have converted the RAW to DNG this data is written in the file itself as is the case with other filetypes like jpeg and tiff that can be handled by ACR.
You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or point Bridge to the old disk, select the files you want in the content panel and use the folder panel to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop
Plenty of options

RAW image and preview dramatically different

I'm using Aperture 2.1 and am recently finding myself extremely unsatisfied with the rendering of my RAW images created with my Nikon D50.
I am shooting in just RAW (NEF) and sRGB, and am exposing for what I am seeing on the back of my camera. At times I use manual, and others I use the Program setting with a -1.3 exposure compensation since the camera leans too bright; I seem to recall everything exposing correctly until recently. But my memory is shoddy when it comes to how things previously appeared.
The preview before importing shows much the same image that I intended (exposure-wise), as does the quick preview for a second or so during the import process. Shortly after, my pictures all become dull and dark, lacking color and appearing about 2 stops underexposed.
I love photography, but am personally baffled by the issue of color profiles, RAW images JPEG previews, and all that jazz. Nothing seems to explain these adequately, which is why I'm reaching out to those more knowledgeable than me. I am unsure if it's my camera, Aperture, color spaces, or just settings within Aperture or my camera.
Once again, I want to say this is a recent problem, but it may just be that I only noticed recently.

I have exposed to the image on the LCD before and produced wonderful results. Or, at the very least, results that didn't drive me to post on a discussion board.
As per your questions:
--I use 4 different methods to determine how I am exposing my image. In Manual, I use the TTL metering chart in the viewfinder (usually exposing -0.7 to -1.3 so as to compensate for the tendency for the camera's meter to overexpose), the resulting image on the LCD, the histogram, and the in-camera highlights indicator (since, once again, it has a tendency to try and overexpose an image). In Priority modes, I use the camera's exposure compensation setting to set the compensation to -0.7 or -0.1. The resulting JPEG that I see in the pre-import thumbnails and the brief seconds during import are exactly the exposure I want, but when Aperture finishes importing, it's entirely too underexposed. And it's not just that-- the color seems to be worse than it would if it were just simple underexposure... it all feels grey.
-- I use matrix metering most of the time, with spot metering in the rare instance that requires more precise measurement than just tweaking the aperture or shutter up or down a stop or so. Snow or water pictures are a prime example.
Just so we're clear, I know how to use a camera. I know how to expose properly, and in the past year with my camera, I feel I've figured out its quirks. It takes a lot to drive me to discussion boards, as I usually figure out problems myself. But, since the lingo and strange things of digital photography (Color Space, EXIF data, RAW conversion engines, etc.) confuses me sometimes, I am looking for more human help. I haven't had this problem (or this dramatic of a problem) in the past.
The RAW images outside of the last couple of months seem fine (maybe having something to do with the fact that I upgraded to 2.1 from the 1.0 software about 6 months ago and am finally getting back to photography during my summer break). And the JPEGs that I am apparently exposing for are fine as well. It's just after Aperture imports the RAW file that I am having these problems.
Like I said, I want to continue to use RAW. I want it to work like I thought it was working in the past (that is, without major exposure headaches). But I want the image that I thought I was getting. So how do I make Aperture see the same (or nearly the same) image that I am seeing in the JPEG thumbnail? The difference is just too dramatic to pass it off as quirks and be okay with that. And no, at least as the photography part goes, I do not think it's a short between the floor and the camera.

I synced my photos with one of my macs. Now I want to transfer those photos to another mac

I had a bunch of photos on one of my mac books. I wanted those photos on my iPhone 6.
I have synced the folder with my phone - and now I'm able to see those photos in one of my albums on my iPhone.
However, now I want to transfer the photos from that album onto another mac but I find that when I connect my phone to that mac, and I browse iPhoto or Image Capture I'm only able to see photos taken with my iPhone Camera and not the photos I just transferred into the new album.
Am I doing something wrong or is it really not possible to transfer photos this way (i.e. Mac A ---> iPhone 6 ----> Mac B) ?
Thanks

Hi Terence:
so that sounds like better news...I should be OK when this happens?
Essentially my events become albums...I still have the separation ..correct?
Why would this be a problem?
This was a response from an earlier post from Vanoord that concerned me: quote..see next-
Events has been removed from Photos - it's replaced by 'Moments'.
'Moments' are like 'Events', but split up by the software and you have no control over what goes where, or what they're called. If you've got 300 Events now, you can look forward to about 3,000 'Moments'.
This response implies that all my 300 events will become separated into thousands of moments. What does this mean? Is this true?
Won't my Events just become albums as you suggested?
I have years of events that have accumulated and collated photos. They must stay separated.
****the other thing I was unclear about was the synching part..
Example:
I have 300 albums with 30K photos distributed in various numbers in each album ( used to be events according to your response)
I add some photos in each album each day
I set all my devices to the cloud etc...
the cloud synchs from my designated "source" Macbook...
the cloud sees this and uploads
then the confusing part...the other devices ( MacBooks, I pad, i phone) all will see the synch and can then be designated to download to each device in the original form as we view it on a Macbook or i phone? What does "full resolution" or optimized previews mean as Leonie replied above?
I need my JPEG images for my education keynote presentations and e mailing images as required from each event as needed ( soon to be albums)
Thanks again...just want to understand what is going to happen
