I just upgraded my computer and am now starting to use Aperture much more as my machine now has the power to handle it efficiently. All my software is up to date. I also have the full suite of Nik plugins for Aperture.

I have a workflow issue relating to Viveza & SEP2 and I'm sure someone here can point me in the right direction. Typically I do my RAW adjustments first, followed by any Viveza work followed by CEP or SEP2 (must state here that of course not every image is done this way, but when using Viveza this is the workflow). When I finish in Viveza and then try to open the image in SEP2, I get a message cannot open file. So my workaround is to duplicate the version and then open in SEP2 which works fine.

So, my question is, what am I doing wrong? Or is this some sort of bug with SEP2? I did not have this problem with CEP or SEP (original version) OK, so it's not a major issue, as the work around is fine, but it is irritating me just a little bit.

Has anybody else encountered this? I know there are a few of you out there who are using the same software combinations.

Thanks in advance.

Oh and one other question about stacks. Any idea why my images are all automatically going into stacks when the setting in preferences is not to auto stack? :) It's the same set up I have on my laptop and yet they are behaving completely differently. Sigh.

I experience the same issues (with Viveza 2, not Viveza) when trying to go into SEP2. I also get the same thing If I go from SEP2 or CEP Pro into Viveza. I look bottom right of the image and if the icon has a circle with a dot in it, I know I need to duplicate it.

I don't know why it is autostacking though...

Aha, thanks Paul. Then at least it appears not to be user error then :) (Always possible!) And yes, it's Viveza 2 and SEP 2
