Applications :: How To Get All Masters Out Of Aperture

Oct 9, 2009

I've downloaded the trials of Aperture and Lightroom and have them both installed. I'm playing around with them trying to figure out which one will be best for me. I'm not a pro photographer or anything, but I don't like iPhoto because of the way it deals with events. I like to have hierarchies for my picture folders but apparently iPhoto will only allow you to have one level of events.

So, I understand that Aperture has you choose between the masters being managed in the Aperture library file or have them be referenced on disk. My main concern is that I want to be able to pull all of my master files out of Aperture and preserve my old folder hierarchy structure. Every time I try to export files (even from multiple folders), Aperture exports them all into one huge folder rather than preserving the folder structure. Is there any way to do this?

Aperture :: Reconnecting Lost (but Then Found) Masters?

Jun 21, 2014

I started to relocate masters in Aperture (latest version) onto a disk image on my desktop as I have done many times in the past prior to archiving them and freeing up space on my hard drive.

All went well until in the middle of exporting one project the export suddenly stopped. The images that were successfully moved showed the grey square as normal but there were 6 that had a yellow warning flag. These are shown as being offline but not referenced so when I try to relocate masters they aren't shown.

I've looked in the library and there's no sign however I have found them in the vault so I copied them and pasted them into the library and also the disk image but Aperture still can't "see" them!

Aperture :: How To Relocate Masters And Maintain Project Structure

Jul 1, 2014

I have tens of thousands of images in a hierarchical project structure: 

---2014

    |---First project
|---Second project
    |---etc.
    |---Last project

   2013

    |---First project
    |---Second project
    |---etc.
    |---Last project

   2012

    |---etc.
   etc. 

I want to relocate these masters into a directory structure that exactly matches the project structure. Best I can tell, the basic "relocate masters" functionality can only dump images into a single directory. Any way to mirror the project structure on the filesystem?

Applications :: App Store/ Upgrading From Aperture 2 To Aperture 3

Jan 6, 2011

I noticed that Aperture 3 is priced really, REALLY low on the Mac App Store. So I made the decision to buy it. But... I already have Aperture 2 installed. So what happens when I buy Aperture 3? Does it recognize that I have Aperture 2 installed, and upgrade it, or will it install Aperture 3 alongside Aperture 2?

Applications :: Aperture Does Not See All Photos?

Mar 3, 2009

After running the latest release of updates today (ilife, raw camera, etc.) Aperture 2.2.1 (whatever the latest release) no longer sees all of my photos - about half of my projects are missing from the Aperture program itself, however they are still in the library as I can get to them in finder.

Applications :: Aperture 3 Upgrading?

Feb 12, 2010

The whole library update for Aperture 3 keeps hanging for me and I have done it two times.

So I was wondering if I could just drag the single projects from my Aperture 2 library into a new Aperture 3 library.

Would this do all of the same upgrades necessary as the normal update?

Applications :: How To Use Aperture And IPhoto

May 23, 2010

I just purchased my first DSLR camera, a Canon 550D with a 18-55 IS and a 70-200 F4 IS USM. I bought Aperture to manage those pictures, and was wondering what to do with iPhoto.

Currently, I use iPhoto for all my photos, and have a sync with my iPhone.

I would like to know how you use Aperture and iPhoto on the same computer.

- should I put everything on Aperture, what would I lose if I do that ?

- should I keep iPhoto for my casual pictures (taken with my Panasonic FX-55), and Aperture for the photos taken with my DSLR camera ?

- if I import the iPhoto pics into Aperture, what should I copy them all on Aperture, should I just use the iPhoto database, or should I delete the iPhoto database after I import everything on Aperture ?

Applications :: For Photography/Lightroom Or Aperture?

Sep 25, 2010

I am by no means a professional photographer, but I do love to take photos. I have about 9,000+ photos in iPhoto now, but Im looking for something a little more advanced. I will retouch my photos from time to time, but more so, I want to organize my photos better. I notice a lot of people use Aperture and Lightroom, and I was wondering if someone had opinions of the two, and which would be the better way to go.

Applications :: Aperture Unable To Uninstall?

Oct 18, 2010

I tried to install Aperture, after I have done a complete uninstall, but the install process does not go any further than hitting the ok button after entering Name/Company/Serial. The rainbow colored circle remains on forever, so I have to force quit every time.

I wonder, if I deleted any important install files form OSX accidently?

What I did was uninstalling Aperture: I searched for 'Aperture' in the Finder window, and deleted all files which showed up!

Applications :: Aperture 2.1 Is Losing Thumbnails?

Apr 8, 2008

I recently installed Aperture 2.1 and love it until....

A large collection of pictures (jpgs) was imported and after 2 days a lot of thumbnails are missing in the library. The images are still there, I can click on the gray spot the image supposed to be and view the preview and master.

It very annoying! I am planning to import about 10.000 images soon and this problem must be solved before.

attached you can find a screenshot of the problem

Applications :: Converting RAW Files In Aperture?

Jun 3, 2009

I'm running out of disk space due to loads of RAW files in Aperture. I was wondering if it's possible to convert all the files in my library to jpeg (masters + edited) and move the RAW files to an external HDD just in case.

Applications :: How To Move Aperture Folders

Jun 11, 2009

I am currently running low on disk space on my Macbook Pro and most of that is due to my large photo archive in Aperture. Right now I have my photos stored in 3 places: once on computer, once on a LaCie Disk with TimeMachine, and another time on another LaCie Disk with the Aperture Vault Backup.

So my question is, how do I move to only have my most recent and best photos on my computer and than the rest of my photos on the external hard drives.

I know there is probably some simple way, but right now I really don't know how to do it.

Applications :: Aperture Photo Library?

I have recently installed Aperture onto my MacBook. When I started it up, I said 'yes' create an aperture library from my existing iPhoto library. I then watched in some dismay as Aperture then proceed to 'clobber' my hard drive.

Applications :: Aperture 2 Not Working On IMac

I've just bought Aperture 2, and during installation blithely told it to import all my 10,000 or so iphoto images. After several hours I'm just looking at it in browser view with 10,000 grey rectangles, and a little "thumbnails" flash appearing every few seconds on the bottom bar of the browser.

Applications :: Aperture 3 Memory Leak?

Feb 12, 2010

Alright so I bought a copy of Aperture 3 and just upgraded from Aperture 2 once I installed it, it had to convert my older library into Aperture 3 format it said it would take overnight so I came back in the morning to see a massage saying something like " your startup disk is full please close other applications for more memory " which was really strange because my Aperture library is not even on my start disk and I had 60gb's left on my startup when I went to bed. not to mention the computer was the slowest I had ever seen it. could this be because it ran out of ram and started using the startup as virtual memory? and if so why did it use 60gb/s of storage and still not have enough? this is a huge problem apple needs to fix it seems to do this as soon as I start up Aperture every time.

Applications :: To Migrate Away From Aperture Completely?

Feb 12, 2010

I'm interested in using Aperture to manage my very large photo library. I may not want to use Aperture forever however. So, in the future, if I want to migrate away from Aperture, how do you get your entire photo library out of Aperture?

1) Do you have to "export" all photos?

2) Can you retain your original folder structure?

3) Is there a way to browse to the actual photo files when using Aperture? Or are they completely "locked up" within Aperture?

Applications :: Successfully Upgrade To Aperture 3?

Feb 13, 2010

I bought the boxed upgrade from A2->A3 and have been trying for days to install the upgrade. It's been one continuous crash fest-- not crashing while using new features of Aperture 3, but crashing while it sits there processing thumbnails or some such. Faces is off, Places is off. I finally tried switching into 32bit mode. Nothing but fail.

Applications :: Using Aperture 3 After Import From IPhoto

Jun 9, 2010

I am using the 30 day Demo version of Aperture3 (awaiting the arrival of my ordered copy). Apple claims it to be "fully functional for 30 days, and I believe them, so I don't think (but can't rule out) that this is the source of my issue. I have imported my iPhoto Library (approx 20GB), not by reference, but actually copied the photos into the Aperture Library (as evidenced by the fact that it's physical size is approx 32GB). After that I did about a days work setting up faces and places for my many projects before I discovered the following: When I look at the metadata (General Category) for any photo, it shows my project source as being in my iPhoto library; not as I expected in the aperture library. I was hoping 1) to be able to trash the iPhoto library after the import & 2) not lose the day's work I put into places and faces. One more note, iPhoto (as expected) does not see these changes. Any ideas how to change the reference to the aperture library, is it possible that after applying a new serial number(when my paid copy of aperture arrives) that this will rectify itself? One more note; in the preferences (general tab) the library is correctly referenced as the Aperture3 library.

Applications :: How To Prevent Aperture 3 From Importing Video

Nov 9, 2010

By default aperture wants to import all my photos and MOV files into aperture. By default imovie wants to import all AVCDH lite files from my panasonic LX5 into imovie. I want to import my photos into Aperture and my videos into imovie. Currently I am doing the following:

1. import photos only into aperture by deselecting all MOV files and hitting apply.
2. import MOV files into aperture by deselecting JPGs, selecting a different directory for my movies and hitting apply.
3. in imovie import MOV files directly from hard drive

I wish there was a way to force aperture to only touch raw/jpg and imovie to handle MOV/AVCHD lite.

Applications :: Use Photos In Mac's Screensaver After Moving Everything To Aperture?

Jan 6, 2011

With all the excitement around the $79 price of Aperture on the new mac app store, I'm thinking about getting it, but wondering if I can then ditch iPhoto? I looked at Apple's website about Aperture and see that it seems to be iPhoto+ with all the features of iPhoto plus more. But I'm wondering about the integration of it with iOS devices, etc. If I move everything to Aperture, will I still be able to use photos in my mac's screensaver, or on my Apple TV, or sync to my iPhone....all of these seem to tie to iPhoto, but if you install Aperture, do they then work with it?

Applications :: Easily Deleting Images In Aperture?

Mar 16, 2007

I want to work out how to easily delete photos in aperture. I'm talking the crap ones that I have imported (either from camera or an unedited folder) and want to get rid of entirely (not versions). It seems ridiculously cumbersome, with 3 clicks needed.

I'm ex-windows and I could just scroll through and delete, happy as Larry.

Applications :: How To Restore Aperture From Time Machine

Aug 14, 2008

I had to reinstall my computer from time machine when apple replaced it; everything worked great except Aperture refused to open. I re-named the existing Aperture and re-installed a fresh copy and now my library has disappeared.

My Aperture library was set up to leave the pictures where they were, so I didn't loose any pictures, but I've lost all of my Events, folders, groupings etc. Does anybody know what files I need to restore in order to get that stuff back? I never had an Aperture Library package in my Pictures to begin with.
