What's the best way to export Photos from Aperture to iPhoto

Hi,
so heres the deal:
My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
So to get his photos i thaught i could just copy his aperture library onto my external hd.
but will i be able to import the photos into iphoto? and i'd like to not have the originals but the edited photos.
or will i have to export the photos from aperture (e.g. with my brothers, faster mac...)

Paul, do your father and you have compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture? Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 or later?
Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
With the new, unified library architecture you can simply open an Aperture library in iPhoto - no need to import anything.
If the Aperture library is not compatible, from an older Aperture version, you can try to export the versions on your brother's mac (file > Export > Versions).
My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
That is not normal, however old the mac is.
Either his hard drive is too full and needs freeing disk space, or he has imported corrupted images, or his Aperture library needs repairing or rebuilding. He should try to repair his library, if he has used "force quit" on Aperture. See: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

If you use Adobe Photoshop, or even Adobe Photoshop Elements, stay as far away from iPhoto as possible.
iPhoto does not play nice with Adobe software or with software from any other third party developer.
iPhoto will hide your image files in a library paradigm where you have no access to them other than through iPhoto.

What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

The best way to import photos from Picasa to iPhoto

Hi,
Many of my friends share their pictures online using picasa. Sometimes, I'd like to copy these pictures to keep a backup offline. As a software, I use iPhoto; not picasa. What is the best way to import pictures from picasa to iPhoto?
I first tried to subscribe to the RSS feed using iPhoto and then copy the pictures from there to my library, but then the dates of the pictures are set wrong: instead of indicating when the picture was shot, it indicates some other date (I guess it indicates the date when the picture was uploaded to picasa).
Then I decided to install the software picasa.app. From the webalbum of my friends, I could download the pictures directly to picasa.app. Then I exported them to the desktop, and from there imported them to iPhoto. The dates where set correctly, but I lost all the titles and comments of the pictures.
Do you have any method to download the pictures while keeping both the dates and the titles correctly?
Thanx!

There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
Just a couple of things to know:
1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
Hope that helps!

What is the best way of exporting artboards from Illustrator for use in InDesign?

Hi,
I have an artboard in Illustrator CS6 which contains some text with a scribble effect applied to it. I would like to use this text in an InDesign CS6 document. I am wondering what the best way of exporting/importing this artboard would be so that I get the best quality.
Thanks,

What is the best way to export HDV from Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 ???

Should I even use the compressor route? i want my to export hdv footage to dvd studio pro and burn to dvd. i want to understand the best way so it looks like the original mini hdv tape.
can anyone help that has experience in this area?

you can use compressor to encode your HDV footage.
believe it or not, you can obtain stunning results when you encode and output to DVD.
i guess my only questions to you are:
will you want to output a "HD DVD" or a SD DVD?
how long is your footage?
in what mode did you shoot (720p or 1080i)?
what type of footage, overall, would you say you have (fast action paced, slow action, interviews)?
to be honest with you aaron, there isn't really a setting that is a "set all". compression is both an art and science. additionally, quality of your encoded file can be very subjective!
let me know and we can get ya started on the right track

What is the best way to aggregate photos from multiple family users into a single iCloud photo library?

My wife and I currently have a iPhone and iPad each.
We share my apple ID account for apps and I also use this as my main icloud account on my devices.
My wifes devices have a different main icloud account.
We also have a iMac with separate users configures, which are tied to our individual icloud accounts.
Now that OSX photos has been released we want to make use of it including icloud photo library.
We take photos. Lots of them.
And we want the photos from all our devices to be aggregated automatically into a single osx photos/iCloud photo library.
1 - because we want a single library which includes all our photos from the last 15 yrs
2 - because we don't want to pay twice for storage
Seems to me there are two options - but I would be happy to hear any others.
1) The family sharing route
This seems to be the official solution, but it has major limitations.
Set up family sharing. I'll be the organiser since its my apple id thats used for app purchases already
Add my wife to the family
Ah... but now she has to manually share every photo or moment from he device
And it seems that these moments are not incorporated into the photos database in same way as the icloud library account users (me) are
2) Family iCloud account
I didn't test it yet, but no reason that I can see why it should not work
Create a new icloud account for the family
Make this family account the primary icloud account on all devices (could be a big disruption for icloud enabled apps)
Add our personal apple ids as mail/contact/calendar account
Make a new user on OSX for photos which has the family icloud account configured
No all devices should share the same photo library
Unfortunately:
We lose bookmark, keychain, etc sync between devices and osx accounts
We lose imessage (maybe).
We lose the new ios8/yosemite features like handoff
Or worse we get crazy imessage/handoff between all devices from all accounts
Both methods have major downsides.
Anyone know of a better way?
Why doesnt apple allow multiple separate icloud accounts to be configured and select which features each can use (where some features may have to be unique to a single account). To me this would seem to be the best option...

What is the best way to import photos from an Android phone?

Hi. I'm running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom v. 4.3 to edit and organize my photos. So, after having shot a few photos with my camera - a Samsung Galaxy s4 - I will plug my S4 to my PC (USB), open APL, click "import" and start going, as I always do with my DLS. However, on the import page there will appear all sorts of stuff, not only my recently taken photos named Bestfit, Large, and so on, but also quite a lot of photos I could swear I never have taken, some of them looking like screenshots of some sort. Obviously, this isn't how things should be. So my question is, a) how do I get rid of all those pictures that of some reason seemed to already be on my camera, and b) what should I do to see only one version (the best) of those recently taken? Should I start using a third-party program? In case, which?
As this was the case also with my former HTC Desire, I suppose this is may be an Android case, but on the other hand, I guess several of you may have encountered this.
Thanks in advance.
Ole K

I had the same problem. To prevent that, I change the import source from the default source that's already selected under "Devices" on the left panel, to the source lower in that same panel, under "Files" where you will see the Windows drive letter that the Android's storage was mounted under, expand that, expand the DCIM folder, and then select Camera. So mine is typically F:\DCIM\Camera. If you have a Mac, I have no idea how the import screen presents files vs devices, but I suspect you'll find it there too.
Sometimes I find that Windows takes a little while to list the Files drive letters, even though it already lists the Android under Devices. If you don't see anything but your computer's normal drive letters, try canceling the import, waiting a few seconds, and then clicking import again. That usually enough time for it to finish mounting/recognizing. I think this is a Windows process, not a Lightroom one, as the drive letters aren't fully accessible in Windows Exporer immediately either.

What is the best way to transfer libraries from Aperture?

Hi,
Apologies for what must be an increasingly common question. I've searched the forum but all I could get were returns from early 2013 and previous. I am asking this question because the offered tool on this site has an appalling rating after 37 reviews so I will not be using that.
Any "quick fix" tool recommendations would be appreciated, tools which have been proven to work well. Also, in regard to losing saved edits which were made in Aperture (I understand they will be transferred as finalised Jpegs), I'm not overly concerned with this since I am at a place where I have finalised most, if not all, my photos which deserved the attention anyway, so even a quick way for me to get the actual files from the folder structure may be helpful, so I can import afresh?
Any other suggestions very welcome, and thank you.

If you can get it to work, most folks should use the Adobe Plugin. Although the manual method is good, especially if you tag data beforehand, you have the ability to transfer more information, more automatically, with the plugin. For example, stacks can be transferred. Adobe says Faces should work, but that piece still has bugs.
Most importantly, the plugin will allow you to copy both masters and previews (at the ore-specified, generated resolution). The manual method makes combining these difficult two, especially stacking the two.

Just a note: if you Option-drag the thumbnail to the Desktop you'll get the original file. Regular dragging will get you the preview version or the edited version if it's been edited in Photos.

What's the best way to share photos?

Now that MobileMe Gallery is gone, what's the best way to share photos over the internet?
Is there some simple method where I can upload an entire album from iPhoto and then send a link to others so they can view them?
I've tried both Flickr and Shutterfly and did not like either.

Why can't iPhoto just pull the images from a media browser or something over the network?
I don't know. Part of the issue has to be that iPhoto is not a HD browser. Another part is what you mean by " ... just pull the images".
Any tips on creating a locally hosted web gallery?
My greatest single tip of all time: try it! The tools available to use for just a few hundred dollars are astoundingly powerful.
Or... does anyone have any Automator magic they'd like to share?
No need. Web galleries are built into Aperture 3. Put the images you want to be in the gallery in one Album (Smart or otherwise). Select all the images. Click "New→Web Page". Select a theme. Change some of the text. Make some other changes. Click "Export Web Pages ... ". Make some more decisions. Give the folder a name. Save it somewhere with access to those whom you wish to see it. Select "Tell me when done". Check your email (have a coffee). Click "Show in Finder". Open the folder. Double-click the file "index.html". Brilliant! Enjoy.
The trick to sharing this is to make the folder available. The index file will always open the web site pages in a web browser.

What is the best way to export a movie to avoid losing quality?

I need to get a movie I made on a DVD somehow, but I seem to loose quality in color and overall sharpness when I take it into iDVD and burn a disc. This movie will be projected very large, so I need the best quality possible. What is the best way to export it for the highest quality?

There's been a ton of testing reported here on this issue, but I don't think there is a consensus on the "best" method. For one thing, it depends on what you're starting with.
In my experience with DV video and hi-res photos, it was tough to beat the result I got exporting "large" to the media browser. (Because of my DV footage, HD was not an option.) This made a H.264 file. I could only get a slight improvement by exporting via Quicktime to a H.264 file at double the resolution of the "large" file made by iMovie. Of course this took longer to export and for iDVD to encode. Overall, I'd say it wasn't worth it for the barely visible improvement. That improvement was only detectable in the slides, BTW, not in the DV video.
Many recommend exporting to AIC, which should be an essentially lossless export out of iMovie. This is what the share to iDVD supposedly does, I got poor results with any flow that used an AIC file exported out of iMovie for use by iDVD. Never figured out why, but my results were always better if I compressed to H.264 on the way out of iMovie.
