Using Automator for Aperture Export?

The only export actions i have are export version and export master and neither of those do anything to exposure.

Could you post a screen shot of the action you are referring to.

Sorry my french is no so good so I can't really make out the workflow you show.

However keep in mind that Automator (or AppleScript) has no direct way to apply a adjustment to a version.

You can however apply an adjustment preset to a version so if you make a new preset in Aperture that does what you want you could apply that to the version with Automator using Apply Image Preset.

The exposure correction is done, using "Apply Image Adjustment" action. There you can use the saved Aperture adjustment preset.

This should get you started:

Basically we get the selected image in Aperture, store a reference to it, apply a preset, export it. Then retrieve the reference to the selected image, I reset the adjustments applied in the first step, not sure if you want to apply the next adjustment to an unadjusted image or add them to the image. If you want to add them to the image remove this step. Then apply the adjustment and export. You can repeat the retrieve, reset, apply, export steps as many times as you need for what you are doing.

mm strange, I'm running 10.9.2 also and I don't get that message. Ok try this one

I remove the reference actions (both the set and get) and replaced it with a second Get selected images. Note I have the new Get Selected Images action ignoring its input.

If you add more for more adjustments make sure you have all those set to ignore input also.

Also you might be able to remove the Reset all Adjustments action and use the Replace existing adjustments checkbox in the Apply action. Seems right but I didn't try it.

Ok good had me going there for a while 😉

The second workflow is a bit simpler so you might what to play around with it. But either one should do what you need.

One thing to be aware of. In the second workflow we get the selection each time before doing the adjustment/export so if the selection were to change (not likely bit possible) you would be working on different images.

In the first workflow we save a reference to the original selection so even if the selection changes it still should work on the original images.

How can I lauch it from aperture?

If you want to launch your Automator workflow directly from Aperture, save a version as "Service", not "Workflow". A service can be launched from Aperture's "Services" menu. It needs to be installed in the "Services" folder in the User library or System Library.

You can even bind a keyboard shortcut to it, using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts settings.

(different exposure -2, -1, 0, +1, +2)

Just curious - what are you trying to do with the different exposure images? Are you trying to create HDR photos? This would work better by taking a burst of five photos with different exposure.

Thanks!
