When noise reduction is lifted and stamped, is the noise print remembered?

let's say i have a bunch of clips in a multitrack project and individually noise reduce some of the clips using a unique noise print for each one. if i now want to use the noise reduction settings for one of the clips (but not the last one that i noise reduced) to lift and stamp onto another clip, does the lift and stamp tool remember the noise print that i used to reduce the noise in that clip and use it for the stamped clip? it seems like when i set a new noise print, it overwrites the previous one i had set. i was just making sure that when i select a clip to lift noise reduction from that was not the last clip i noise reduced, it doesn't use the noise print that is "current" from whatever clip i reduced last.

Noise/sharpening not exporting is a known issue in Lr5.0.
Consider Lr50 Export AutoFix until Lr5.1 released.

Noise Reduction - Doesn't get quite all the noise

I'm having trouble removing 60Hz hum. I just got Soundtrack Pro after trying Soundtrack that was included in FCE. I didn't have much luck with Soundtrack and the Apple quick tour made noise reduction in ST Pro look like child's play.
I have a friend on the PC and he ran my audio thru Adobe Audition and it did a really good job. I downloaded the 30 day demo and it's Noise Reduction is simple and works well. But, I kind of have a need to complete my entire project on a Mac...
Anyway, I select a portion with just my hum and do 'Set Noise Print'. Then I remove the noise from my enitre clip. I typicall have to move the slider down to -25db. At that point it starts to effect my dialog and there is a small amount of buzz or hum still left around.
How in the world can I fix this? I've been told that my hum may be at 60Hz and at all the harmonics of 60Hz. I can't seem to find a Notch Filter in Pro, where Soundtrack does have one. So, how can I eliminate 60Hz and all the harmonics?
Also, any idea why Adobe Audition does a better job than Soundtrack Pro in this quick NR area? Am I missing something that I should be doing in Soundtrack Pro?
I'm a total audio newbie so any help is appriecaited.

I've had good luck using the EQ editor, where you can adjust various parameters like the spread of the frequency, the amplitude, and also check for other frequencies (try overtones undertones of the main sound).
If you need to cut out so much that it interferes with the quality of your dialogue, you can fool the ear by adding bit of high register to make it more articulate, or middle-low register to make it more resonant.
By saving the presents you create, you can easilty try different combinations.

Lift and stamp image adjustments inconsistently working

Just started playing with Aperture a few hours ago and seem to have intermittent problems lifting and stamping image adjustments. The manual has little info about lifting, beyond metadata, but sometimes I'm able to also lift image adjustments (color correction, crop, etc.). This was an advertised feature, so I assume the lack of info in the manual about lifting image adjustments is an oversight (or I am missing it). Unfortunately, I'm not usually able to lift image adjustments. They appear to be consistently availabel in the Lift HUD right after I make the adjustment to the image, but if I click away and then back, the adjustment is gone.
I think it has something to do with the tiny icons on the lower-right part of some of my images. The one I usually see when I make some adjustments is a small white box with a left and right arrow on top of each other. This typically indicates that something isn't synched in other programs, but I don't know what needs to be synched in Aperture. The adjustments remain on the image when I click away and then back to it so they appear to be sticking.
I've seen a couple of other icons show up in the lower right hand corner of images, but haven't been able to figure out what they mean. There doesn't seem to be mention of them anywhere in the Aperture documentation. Does anyone have a pointer or explanation of each of the icons' significance?

OK, I got a bit of an answer from the instructional DVD. In the Image Adjusting section, they talk about lift and stamp. The problem is that you can't just select the image in the image browser, you have to click on the rendered image to lift the adjustments. It looks like you can also do this by option-clicking on the thumbnails.
In the demo, though, they appear to lift and stamp a crop. I can't get anything other than color and luminance adjustments to show up in the list of possible adjustments to lift. Rotation, crop, etc. They're all ignored. Am I missing something?

Lift and Stamp tool not working so well? White images!?

Here's a strange issue.
I worked on an image yesterday. Today, I want to copy the adjustments to another image in the same project. When I use the Lift and Stamp tool to copy the adjustments, the new image turns completely white. Even though I checked the adjustments and they look the same as the original one, the new image is all white.
Now the strange thing is when I adjusted another image today then used the Lift and Stamp tool, the adjustments copied over fine.
The only thing I can see which is different from the image I adjusted yesterday is that I had Aperture send that image to CS4 and I edited a TIFF which I stacked back with the original file.
I'll try to make a screencast available so you can see what's going on.
Looks like Apple's going to need to update Aperture 3 before it really comes out.

Thanks for your effort. I am stunned. Would be edifying to know what is happening! I thought it might be okay as I sometimes turn my image black after applying some change, but the black is only a temporary display problem as the image is correct the next time I go to use it; perhaps in my situation Aperture was busy generating new previews for presentation of the changes. Your white is certainly a different issue. Glad it's only an isolated incident and not happening for you on the other images.

To batch edit , with our lift and stamp

is it possible to batch edit all my images with AUTO level, so that each pic will be edited independent RATHER than lift adjustment and Stamp the same adjustment , which will not work cause each pic needs a different level and white balance,,

I don't want to delete any of the IPTC info.
I just want to lift Caption from IPTC and leave any other IPTC info untouched in both images (lifted and stamped)
So the image I'm lifting has a different provider from the one I want to stamp but the should all have the same caption. How can I only lift and stamp the caption?
thank you

Can you be more selesctive with teh Lift and Stamp tool?

I use the lift and stamp tool a lot. Mainly on metadata. The problem is that the metadata/adjustments come in categories. You can see all the info of the pic your lifting from, and you can choose to only lift & stamp keywords or just Iptc, Label, rating etc.
My question is, can you select one specific field from these categories?
For example right now I only want my pictures to share Caption, but keep the information of provider and content location which varies from image to image.
is this possible?
Thank you in advance

Lift and Stamp remains a mystery

I have read the Soundtrack Pro manual, stared at the computer screen, read the manual again, clicked on everything that the manual says should be there (and ain't), scratched my head, read the manual again. STUMPED! Just how do you use the Lift and Stamp tool? I can't even get the bugger to show up. All I need to do is copy the effects (EQ settings) of one file to another without reinventing the wheel each time. You'd think such a thing would be a simple cut and paste. Please help, I know I'm probably stupid and it's all really obvious... BUT I'M LOST

Thanks for your response Paul. It almost worked.
Now I'm convinced it's me screwing something up. I seem to be able to copy the EQ settings OK using Process/Equalization Matching/Set Equalization Print from the source file. But when I try and copy the parameters to the target audio using Process/Equalization Matching/Apply Equalization - the Apply Equalization is grayed out and I can't apply it.
Am I not selecting the audio file correctly? I use the Select All feature as double clicking seems to have no effect.
Note: I am opening the files from within Final Cut Pro using the File/Send To/Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project route.
Can you spot the obvious mistake in any of this?
Thanks

Lift and Stamp - one image only

I can get Lift and Stamp to work on JPEG images, but it only updates one image. So even if I select 10 and then stamp, only the image with the "thick" white border is updated.
I've read lots of complaints on lift and stamp usability, but i think I'm doing this correctly.

PRECISELY. I was in primary only mode. In this mode you do have to do what I describe, the "select first" doesn't work. Basically the approach I outline gets around "primary only" mode, so I'm arguably exploiting a design flaw.
Better, of course, to turn primary-only off. Then you can select images and click stamp to update them all.
If you type S instead of Ctrl-S for sharpening, you switch modes. I can't find any notice, if I owned Aperture I'd have a prominent string and icon appear in the menubar when switched to primary mode. I'd also remove the sortcut key! I don't think primary mode needs a single letter shortcut.
I figured this out on my own, but if I hadn't you'd have answered it for me. Thanks!

When I plug in my iPhone it makes the noise and charges, but wont bring it up in iTunes. It brings up my iPhone in a file under my computer

When i plug in my Iphone it makes the noise and charges, but wont bring it up in itunes. Instead it brings up my iphone in a file under my documents... Any help..??

Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album. These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer. If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

Batch changes don't function. Apt 3.2. From simple commands like "rotate clockwise" to "lift and stamp" the command only affects to the last image in the group selected. Similar problems? Solutions?

Glad it helped. Everyone has been bitten by this at one time or another. Fortunately you only get bit once
Well if you haven't already read it two or three times the User manual is really very good. Apple really did a nice job with it. The on-line version is nice because it is searchable.
After that the Apple Pro Training Series book Aperture 3 is very useful. Its basically split into three parts. The library, adjustments and sharing. In addition if you get all the way through it you can take the Certification test and become, well certified.
Rwboyer who posts here on and off has a good site and a couple of ebooks that I found useful.
good luck

Disappearing iptc fields - script to lift and stamp metadata

Hi there,
I don't know if this is a general thing or not with Aperture 2.1, but in my library (all referenced images on 3 external disks) lots of not really recent photos get their thumbnails and previews updated anytime I browse the library. Although it slows down aperture a little, it's not really a big issue. The problem is that many older images lose their IPTC data upon refresh. It just disappears, leaving only the keywords in place. Caption etc are all gone. I have tried to update some of this manually, but as soon as I use reveal in an applescript, so I can lift and stamp metadata from another picture in the shoot, some more files get updated etc. etc. I don't really know what's happening here, probably a bug, but I've written a little applescript to update them automatically.
What it does:
It goes through all albums in the library (you can probably change this to something less granular if you only use projects as the basis of your library) and applies the iptc of one of the images with iptc data to the ones without it. It's not 100% error proof but works in my setup. The way it works is it puts all images in one of 2 lists, with and without caption information. It then gets the exif date and the iptc data from the last image on the list with captions and applies the iptc data to any image on the list without captions with the same exif date (to avoid stamping images from albums that have images from various sources.
My library is organized into folders with the name of the external drive the referenced images are on. It then contains projects (with or without a certain theme) and withing those projects are albums that reflect the directory the images on the disks are in. This is a leftover of my old days with iview media pro. All images are within an album. One last thing: Run the script from the Aperture menu. From the script editor it's very slow, due to large amounts of text passing through.
Anyway, here's the script, I hope it helps, maybe it can serve as an example for scripts like it:
-- create lists for photos with and without captions applied and references to the lists (supposed to be faster)

Lift and Stamp Question

Let's say I made a white balance adjustment, then an exposure adjustment, followed by a little sharpening all in that order. But then I want to lift only the WB out of those three adjustments and stamp a batch of images.
How can I stamp only the WB onto the selected images without stamping my exposure and sharpening adjustments? I tried a few things, but the images still get all the adjustments. One thing I did was uncheck the adjustments box in the L & S HUD and selected (highlighted) the WB, but that didn't give me what I wanted either.

To do this display all the adjustments that you lifted by clicking the little triangle next to adjustments in the HUD. Highlight the one(s) that you do not want and press the delete key to get rid of them. After that stamp.

Lift and Stamp only RAW adjustments by default

I would to be able to lift and stamp my raw adjustments from image to image without having to deselect each of the other metadata properties from the lift and stamp hud each time I restart Aperture. My exclusion of other metadata remains until I close Aperture. The next time I open it I am forced to once again open the hud and deselect unwanted metadata. Is there a way to set my desired lift and stamp method as a default?
Thanks,
Christoph

Currently not... any time you life you are always going to get the full set of metadata from an image, so even making a template image without the metadata that always gets included would not help much I think.

Upgrade to Aperture 3.1.3 lift and stamp tool only will lift

I upgraded to Aperture 3.1.3 and the lift and stamp tool will only lift adjustments. Anyone else having this issue. Everything else seems to work fine.

No, that was not the link I had wanted to post. Thanks for the heads-up. My apology to the board and to the OP.
This is the link to another recent thread reporting problems/changes with the Lift/Stamp shortcuts after the 3.1.3 upgrade.
The problem is that once the Lift tool is activated ("o") and an Image has been selected, the cursor does not change to down-arrow stamp tool, and clicking Images does not stamp them.
Try this in Split View and let us know if it works. For some (including me) this still works in Browser View.

go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and try to reset it there. when updating to ios 7 it does have activation lock so you have to know the apple id and password. contact apple and they make be able to assist you with apple id password.

When noise reduction is lifted and stamped, is the noise print remembered?
