How to manage photo stream from 2 iCloud accounts in Aperture 3

How are you and your wife sharing the Aperture library? Do you have separate Mac accounts and have the library where you both can get at it or do you both log into the Mac using the same account?

In either case I don;t believe it is possible. The stream used is tied to the users Apple ID that is currently logged in. If you both log in using the same account then whatever Apple ID is tired to that account will be used. And if you use separate accounts then the library is tied to a specific stream.

With IOS 7 it looks liked shared streams will be writeable by all users invited to the share the stream not just the user who created the shared stream. You might be able to leverage this into some sort of shared input into Aperture.

Any idea to get Aperture accepting the photo stream coming from 2 Apple IDs?

IOS 7 supports writing of persons with different AppleIDs to the same shared photo stream.

And I expect that iPhoto and Aperture will soon support this too.

From the IOS ipad user guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf

Share streams of photos and videos with people you choose. Friends you’ve chosen who have an iCloud account—and iOS 6 or later or OS X Mountain Lion or later—can join your stream, view the photos you add, and leave comments. If they have iOS 7, they can add their own photos and videos to the stream. You can also publish your stream to a website for anyone to view.

Are you sure it does not support it now.

I know if does not support video but that would seem to require a change to Aperture to accept a different format from the stream but as for multiple users writing to a stream doesn't seem that Aperture would need to be aware.

I tried several times, but when I try to share an image, neither iPhoto 9.4.3 nor Aperture 3.4.5 offer me any other Photo Stream than the ones I created myself. I cannot yet drop any image into a stream I do not own - on my mac.

I have not yet tried it on my iPad.

The shared stream will be the only way to do this.

Non-shared Photostreams will always be restricted to one Apple ID.

So if you subscribe to a stream from someone else you cannot add an image to it?

Up to now the shared streams have been one-way streams, The invited persons could browse, download, and comment, but not add.

I just tried again, if adding is now possible in Aperture, but it does not yet work for me.

BTW, this document has been updated:

I just received the test image in my IOS 7 iPad Shared Stream. It is visible on the iPad, but not in Aperture or iPhoto on my MBPs. It does not even appear to be downloaded from the Photo Stream by MacOS X 10.8.5. At least, there is no trace of it in the User Library in "iLifeAssetManagement".
