I am organizing my iPhoto Library with the Aperture App. When I am in the Adjustments Panel my portrait oriented photos give me the message “iPhoto Externally Edited Image” and all the Adjustments are grayed out. Meanwhile, the landscape oriented photos in the same project are just fine. I can use all the Adjustments on them.
Any idea what is going on?
In the Browser they are shown as a portrait oriented photo with the actual photo rotated on top and black on the bottom half. This also happens in the Split View (although they look fine in the strip browser below). In the Viewer they look fine except for the fact that I can't use any of the Adjustments.

Susan,
“Reprocess Original” is specifically for upgrading the RAW processing engine. If you have images from Aperture 1 or 2, then you can reprocess them using Aperture 3’s engine.
Aperture 3.3 did not include a new RAW engine, so you can’t reprocess those anything already imported and processed with 3.x

Very curious. I’m actually seeing a slightly different problem with the opposite orientation.
I just tested a handful of photos; making a variety of edits in iPhoto to both V and H pictures, then opening that library in Aperture.
My landscape/horizontal ones are the ones with an error; the portrait/vertical ones are just fine.
However my error is simply seeing a dialog that “this photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Aperture or iPhoto”, whereas the verticals do not show that. I do see the iPhoto Effects tab showing up as it should, and clicking the Reprocess button makes no change except that the button goes away. [screenshot]
And I’m not seeing the problems you’re reporting with the thumbnails, although I suspect that would be fixed by choosing menu Photos > Generate Thumbnails, although you shouldn’t’ have to.
Anyone else seeing something like this?

I’m seeing a similar problem but it appears random in a particular project with all landscape images. Some work, some don’t. I am able to create a new version for those that don’t work and the new version is editable.
At the moment I don’t see any pattern to it. I did try a permissions fix using iPhoto on the library but it had no effect.

Yes, creating a new version fixes the problem for me too.
I think I saw a message to that effect yesterday when I first encountered this problem.

What does “Reprocess Originals..” do? And why can’t you just Reprocess one original?
