Why is the Raw processing so noisy and lousy in Aperture 3.3 vs LR4

I have been using LR4 to process my photos due to its image quality and its functions .
However I have always liked aperture for its file managmenet. when the 3.3 is out I thought
this could be me the game changer, ( I am shooting with 5D3)
However over the weekend I have found out that doing a side by side comparision the Aperture's Raw (CR2) processing
is simply not acceptable. it is lack of sharpenss and high noise is nothing but a joke if you compare to the LR4.
I hope it is some setting that I am doing wrong so I went to the apple store, and ther" Creative" guys was not able to solve
the issues as well, so now I am back to square one. I have to use LR4 to process my photos and APERTURE to store them...
Any one has better ideas?
The difference was to me day & night, it is not subtle ,,,
I hope someone can help me with my aperture issue so I can go back to using just one system.

What ISO are you shooting with?
Lightroom's noise reduction is better than Aperture's on noisy images right now. Lightroom's controls can easily knock down luminance and chroma noise, while Aperture's tools are fairly limited. You can use 3rd party plugins (Nik Dfine, Noise Ninja, etc.) that will do a good job but that renders a TIFF file which I'm not overly fond of for just this purpose.
But, still, the 5D Mark III has awfully good noise performance. Are you shooting at ISO 12800 or higher all the time? Is the noise frequently visible in all of your shots when you're not pixel peeping?
I ask because, while Lightroom is certainly better w.r.t. noise reduction than Aperture at the moment, I don't have all that many of my shots that really, really need noise reduction.

Why is the repair process so long and painful for a item that is still under original factory warranty

The repair process for items under original factory warranty are unacceptable as it takes way too long to get in touch with a repair representative or get a repair performed. Meanwhile I am without my Sony 4k tv. The whole long process has been a complete nightmare and I am seriously regretting my decision to purchase a Sony tv as well as debating if I will ever buy another Sony product. I would love to share my story with a supervisor as I had asked to speak to one and was told I can't.....even after several kind requests. I want to offer constructive criticism as I can see on many forums people are losing faith in Sony and their products. Can a supervisor or someone with some authority contact me? Sincerely, David Jablonski

Hi David. I'm in the exact same boat. I have a $2500 projector (HW40) that started giving trouble. It's been 4 weeks now and no telling how much longer they will take to fix it. No communication either. The phone support is useless. You waste hours and hours (literally) on hold and getting the runaround. I'll never ever buy Sony again. I'm sharing my horrible experience on the A/V forums and have already steered quite a few to the Epson and/or JVC projectors. Sony will never get another dime from me.

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

Any ideas?

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP Statistics Collection is turned off?

Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP
Statistics Collection is turned off?
<P>
The SNMP Statistics Collection field on the Server Status|SNMP
Subagent Configuration form affects only the SNMP subagent, which is a separate entity from
the collector process (snmpcoll). Currently, snmpcoll does not look
at the SNMP configuration data when it starts up. It is started by
the dispatcher and terminates when the dispatcher terminates. Many
of the statistics are supposed to reflect cumulative values recorded since MTA
initialization, such as the total number of messages sent and received.
As a convenience, the collector process collects information in the
background even while the SNMP subagent is turned off; this way,
the values are available when the SNMP subagent is configured and
turned on.

Collections fall off on the Date of First Deliquency 7-7.5 years later; that is supposed to be reported as the first time you went late (1-30 days) on the OC (original creditor) in the chain of events leading up to it's being farmed out for collection as I underestand it. DOFD though sometimes doesn't get reported right, and by default it will be the date the collection is added to the bureaus. As an example I have an awkward collection (not sure how I got it looking at the payment history thought I'd cancelled that account but TWC billing apparently didn't think so) which I went late on in 2009, but didn't get farmed out till late 2010. The DOFD is 6/09 looking at it, and it's expected to come off according to the bureaus 6/16 as a result. Different negatives have their own rules though.

Is the raw output from JSP and XSQLServlet the same?

Hi
Is there is difference between the raw output from XSQLServlet and JSP? For example, assuming the same content is being generated, is there some additional header information emitted by XSQLServlet that is not done by JSP?
I am using software that successfully consumes generated content from a JSP OK, but the same content (using the same XML/XSL) generated from XSQLServlet is being rejected. I am puzzled by this. Maybe this is due to some differences in servlet output or an encoding issue? The content is not HTML but XML-like with an "application" contentType, like Steve's SVG example.
It seems that XSQLServlet is showing some data prior to emitting the actual content, i.e. HTTP version, responding server version, content type and date, e.g.
HTTP/1.0 200 OK^M
Server: Resin/2.0.5^M
Content-type: application/x-sky; charset=UTF-8^M
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 06:45:34 GMT^M
^M
(then the generated content)
Is this preamble usually generated by a JSP also?
If not, can this information be turned off, or put another way, can XSQLServlet's raw output be set to be exactly like JSP? If not, is there a workaround?
I have tried setting the following XSQLConfig.xml
<suppress-mime-charset> for the mime-type &
<character-set-conversion>
<none/>
</character-set-conversion>
also, but to no avail.
Please help! I really want to use XSQLServlet!
Thanks.
Michael.

Yes, just less fine control over the process but the same engine.

Hi Peter,
In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

In what way is Firefox slow?
Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

My iPad says "iPad is disabled connect to itunes", but when I go through the restoration process it fails and still says the same thing. Help me please!!!!

I need some helpful instructions on how to get my iPad back to normal because it says iPad is disabled connect to itunes. I've gone through the restoration process many times and it does not work. The iPad just seems to fail when its almost done restoring. Much help is needed please!

Hi LittleKritter13,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend the steps in this article if your iPad does not complete the restore process:

I downloaded i tunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone. I would like to get it reinstated how ?

I downloaded itunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone and can no longer retrieve them. I would like to know how i can reinstate the lost music please.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

I noticed that when I develop in light room 5 that the raw files are larger and the finished product is 80 percent smaller

anybody have an idea why or is that the norm
my raw file was 11,2 and my JPEG was 1.26

The RAW files are the same size as the camera made them. Lightroom doesn't change the file size or image size.
The JPG size depends on a dozen or so things, some of which you can control and some of which you cannot control, but almost always the JPG is smaller than the corresponding RAW.. I see no particular problem with a JPG that is smaller, depending on the export options you chose, and I have never yet seen Lightroom produce an incorrect size JPG
By the way, normally numbers have units, you did not mention any units, so I really can't comment further without knowing the units for the numbers you show

Why are the following processes always using lots of memory?

Can someone tell me why the following processes are always using lots of memory and are always running?
kernel_task 280MB
java 300MB
clamd 120MB
mds 100MB
WindowServer 100MB
coreservicesd 60MB

Because they require that much memory and because the processes are always in use.
This is one reason why the minimum system memory requirement is 1 GB.
Now, you have one third-party process listed, clamd, which is used by ClamXAV anti-virus software. If you can uninstall it you will recover the memory needed by clamd.

Why will the raw editor not open up in the editor

I have started to shot photos in raw and after I load them into the organizer, they are converting to jpeg. When I opened the editor, the photos are all in jpeg instead of raw. What am I doing wrong. I tried to delete from the organizer but it is also deleting from iPhoto

Well, you generally don't want to use both organizer and iphoto, but if you are sending the photos out of iphoto you must tell iphoto that you want it to send the raw files. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on Use RAW when using an external editor, or it will always send jpegs.
But really, double managing your photos will make you crazy, sooner or later.
