How can I move pictures within an Aperture library?

I am asking about how to manage files within a library - not doing backups, exporting, relocating or anything like that.
I just want to move a file from "project" to "project/folder". Moving can usually be accomplished with drag&drop. However here it does not appear to work. There most be another very obvious way to do it (Though for an Apple product I kinda expected d&d to work .

The first step to figuring this out is to realize that masters and versions behave differently when you go to move them.
The second step is to figure out what each type of container in Aperture can hold. That is Projects, albums and folders can all hold different things.
To really get a handle on all this see the User Manual (Aperture Help or online at  http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/)
The short answer to your question is that folders hold other folders, projects or albums, They do not hold images directly. So what you are trying to do can't be done.

  • How can I MOVE some projects from one library to another?

    As the aperture library grows quite big and I want to split it into several smaller ones. How can I move projects from the old library to a new one without export them and re-import them all again? Is it possible to retain all adjustments after migration?
    Thanks!

    You export the project by CTRL / Right- click the project and choose 'Export' > 'Project'. The same if you go via the file menu.
    Every adjustment you made, books created, albums etc. will be kept in the exported project and are available again when you import it to another library.

  • How do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture library

    how do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture?

    Hello, Patricia,
    Do you want to create a new Aperture Library with the images you select or to import them into another existing library?
    To create a new library based on selected images use the main Aperture menu:
         File -> Export -> Project (Folder, album) as New Library.
    To import a part of an Aperture Library into another Library, export the Aperture items as new library, then import that library into the destination library. That way you will ensure, that all versions and metadata are exported.
    Regards

  • HT204022 How can I delete pictures from MY PHOTO LIBRARY? I use Firefix in my PC.

    How can I delee pictures from the Photo Library on my IPod Touch?. I use Firefox as my browser. I want to take them from the IPod to my Pc. I need to free up space.

    You can turn off photo stream on the iPad via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream . Individual photos can't be deleted according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.

  • How can I move pictures from my computer to my ipad?

    can i move pics from a non apple computer to my ipad?  If so, how?

    Yes - there are instructions on how to sync them via iTunes here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . As only the contents of the last photo sync remain on the iPad, you need to sync all the photos that you want in one go, so if you want to sync multiple folders they will need to be directly off the same parent folder so that they can be selected together. Not including a folder in a subsequent sync is the way that you delete that folder/album from teh iPad.
    You can also use third-party apps which can transfer photos via your wifi network to and from your computer (the photos will only go into the camera roll/saved photos album so you have less control in terms of destination than with syncing) e.g. Simple Transfer, which also has a free 'lite' version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer

  • How can I move pictures from my photo libary to my computer

    I added photos from my computer to my itouch. I want to take them off my itouch and back to my computer but the itouch cache that was o n my computer got deleted. how can I removed the pictures from my ipod?

    The photo sync is one-way - computer to ipod.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can e-mail them to yourself.  They will not be of the original quality.

    How do I move photos from one library to another?
    Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.
    Thanks

    That is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
    The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library.
