Till now Aperture worked well in mavericks, "suddenly?" the import of raw files from Nikon D700 is no more supported, only jpg's are accepted. Any idea what happened?

Alert to Every Aperture - User

In the meantime, I have restored Aperture back to version 3.5.0 with the help of time machine and everthing worked perfectly well again. Thus, above mentioned problem is now resolved.

Small comment:

the quality control of Aperture version 3.5.1 seems to have been rather sloppy, which is of course a little bit disappointing from such a reputed company.

Felix

I have created a temp folder on my site and pasted a raw file:

http://www.felixspeiser.ch/temp/DSC_0989.NEF

I'm not sure, if this is helping you, as the web will only display a thumbnail picture. However, when downloaded as TIFF (NEF is not possible) you will find backgroundinfos.

Is this of some use to you?

Thanks to all of you

In the meantime I could locate somehow my above mentioned problem. I use Perfect Photosuite 8 from OnOne as a complemntary tool when working on my pictures. After having saved a corrected picture in Photosuite, Aperture some times looses the source information of the original of aperture.

When closing Aperture, opening it again and then opening the correction mode (cmd + H), the sorce to the original will be restored. I update then the archive and every things is ok again.

Problem/Questions:

1.) this "behaviour" was not observed with the OSX version before Maverick

2.) this "behaviour" was not observed with Perfect Photosuite 7

3.) this "behaviour" as not observed with Aperture 3.5.0

All the updates of above mentioned programmes came together within a very short timelaps, thus I'm not able to really understand what effectively happened and where the problem really is.

I can live with this ;-() -> Perfect Photosuite 8 really replaces Photoshop when only focusing on correction- and enhancementwork of raw pictures. Together with Aperture a quite strong workflow is possible.

Hello

1.)

Some care has to be taken with the formate to imported in plugin-programmes. Nik sime times accept only jpgs/tiffs or jpg/psd, thus Aperture export settings have some times to be changed, depending on the programm you want to use together with Aperture. e.g. 16bit psd works well with Color Effex Pro 4 but not with Viveza 2 (where you shoud export as tiff),

2.)

The temporaraly lost of images which can be restored when reopening Aperture and then activating "H" still occurs some times and I'm still not sure what "constellation" provokes this misbehaviour. I could reproduce this when changing the exportation formate within the same working session but I will have to look at this more carefully to understand better.

Felix

Thanks Johannes

I do not think, that your Mac is wrong if you have been working all right up to now, but do not ask me now what else it coul be.

I guess that some times we are working to fast, forgetting how strong our dear Mac has to work. Memory problems then can occure which may then be restored (at least some times) after having restarted Aperture. I remember vaguely that I had once a similar problem as you just described above, but I do not remember what I had done against it (Aperture restart, library restore from Archive?). It was not a persistant and thus major problem.

Felix
