Unable To Remove An Image From An Album - Sometimes

I have a project containing approximately 2900 images (masters plus versions). I have defined 8 albums and moved various images to each. I am able to select one or more pictures in any of the albums. For simplicity lets assume that I have a single image selected and I want to remove it from the album it is in. I go to the Image menu. About one-third of the time the "remove from album" option is enabled, and when it is I am able to delete the image either by selecting the Image option or using the Delete key. However, the other two-thirds of the time The "remove from album" is grayed out and even using the Delete key does not remove the selected image.
One interesting behavior I have observed. If I find an image I am unable to delete, I can first select an image I KNOW can be removed, duplicate it, the select just the replicant plus the image I wanted to remove originally and now BOTH images can be deleted (the "remove from album" option is available).

I'm having the same kind of problem and it's driving me nuts! Most of my problems have arisen from duplicate images imported when I did a mass import into Aperture from iPhoto. It brought in both the original image and the edited image, and I can't remove either from a given album! I will try your suggestion of duplicating a cooperative image first and using it as the "seed" for deletion.

  • How to remove selected image from a light table?

    According to the Aperture User Manual, when I select an image on a light table, I should be able to remove it (while still leaving it in the light table browser). However, this seems to work only for the image I most recently added to the light table -- when I select an image I added just before the most recent, the button at the upper left for "Light Table Put Back Selected" is grayed out. (Also, the command-shift-P shortcut shown in the tooltip doesn't do anything.) Am I misunderstanding the use of this button? Doing something wrong? I added some images, and decided I wanted to put a few of them back, but can't figure out a way to do that. Makes the light table pretty useless except for layout of a set of images you are already committed to. Doesn't seem possible.

    Hey, thanks -- everything worked as you described. It never would have occurred to me that the "put back" button refers to the browser selection not the layout selection, for reasons I give below.
    I think Aperture exhibits some conceptual confusion here. First of all, a "light table" is created by the New > Light Table command, and you add images to the newly created light table just as you would add them to an album. But those images don't go on the light table layout until you drag them from the browser to the layout table. The "put back" button and "remove from light table" contextual menu command both mean remove from the layout. The phrasing of the contextual menu command make it sounds as if it will remove the clicked image from the light table's collection of images, like removing an image from an album -- it would have made more sense to name this command "put back". Furthermore, the "put back" button is above the layout display, not above the browser, which to me implies that it applies to selections in the layout display. To select an image in the browser, and click "put back selected" seems backwards -- if you just selected the image in the browser, your attention is focused on the browser, not the layout; from the browser's point of view, the button should read "bring back" not "put back".
    The documentation didn't really help when I was trying to figure this out. Sometimes the Aperture documentation refers to just a "light table", as on the overview on page 732. On pages 733 and 734, though, it refers to a "light table album". On page 735 of the Aperture manual there is a very brief explanation of how "to add images to the light table" and "to remove an image from the light table". Here, "light table" refers to the layout not the album. The explanation of the "Put Back Selected" button says to select an image then click the button, and the picture shown is of an image selected in the layout, not in the browser.

  • How do I remove a picture from one album, but keep it in another?

    I have created an aditional album along with the default "Camera Roll" and I have moved certain pictures from "Camera Roll" into the new album. I no longer have the need for the picture to be in "Camera Roll" but when I tried to delete it, I got this message: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere?" The only options are "Delete Everywhere" and "Cancel". How can I (If I can) remove ceratain images from the "Camera Roll" while still keeping them in a different album?

    Yeah, i got the idea of the photostream, cameraroll  (finally)...
    Putting a photo in new album in iphone is just "tagging" or adding "pointers" to a photo. a photo in camera roll can "appear" in many albums. Sounds like gmail label...
    And,
    Put a photo in the camera roll, it will sync to photostream (iphone). Photostream will sync to photostream (macbook) . If i delete the photo from camera roll, it will not sync back from photostream (iphone, macbook) and the photo in my macbook is left untouch.  leaving only the photo at photostream (iphone and macbook) only.

  • How to remove corrupt image from iPhoto

    Somewhere in my photo library I have a photo that iPhoto really doesn't like! I want to know how to remove this image from my library, possibly by deleting it via Finder.
    When I scroll through my photos in iPhoto the software hangs momentarily, and then crashes completely, whenever it gets to this particular image. When I try to export my photos (for backup purposes) iPhoto always crashes when trying to export this same image.
    The problem has appeared with one of the recent updates to iPhoto, when I originally imported this image I could see and export the image just fine. The same issue is preventing me from migrating my photo library to the new Photos app - the import process that runs when I first launch Photos always crashes at the same point, presumably because of this same image file.
    I am unable to remove the image by deleting it via iPhoto because I can't get iPhoto to display the image without crashing, please can anyone suggest another way to get rid of it.

    I've been trying to post details from the crash report here, but the forum software tells me that the message contains 'an invalid character' - which character is invalid? Who knows...

  • Unable to remove this item from GRIR.  It was a consignment PO receipt done

    Hi Guys,
    The user saying that"unable to remove this item from GRIR.  It was a consignment PO receipt done improperly, so it needs to be deleted".
    Because of this the the material documet which shows $6725.43-(Negative) in GRIR account.when i check this this transation was originated through MI10(Physical inventory differenvces posting).May be user done wrongly.
    Now the problem is this
    -          how this transaction originated?
    -          Why is this posted to GR/IR account?
    -          How do we correct the open item in the GR/IR account?
    -          What need to happen to rectify the mistake?
    can any tell me how can we do this,i will be greatful to u.

    Hi Jurgen,
    when i check the material document and accounting document,it was showing that said amount in negative sign and transaction done by MI10 means posted differences with out reference to document.
    it means the user may entered wrongly i think.
    was there any GRIR account for MI10?
    MI10 does not have reversal or cancel?
    so how to resolve it?
    as per my idea it can be done by FI posting.
    please help to resolve.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

    I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
    Error (2606)
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
    Recommended Action
    To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
    I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    I received this error back:
    Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
    Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
    I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server.  After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
    Here are my server details
    VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
    VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
    Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
    SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
    SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

    Hi there,
    How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
    The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
    If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
    Thanks!

  • How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

    Hello,
    I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6?  I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Erika

    Hi Erika,
    Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
    I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
    Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
    1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
    2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
    3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

  • How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop

    How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop?

    Don't under any circumstances.
    All images is not a file. It's not a place. It's a list. Specifically, it's the result of an instruction: List all the images on my machine.
    When you delete something from All Images, then you have no idea what you're removing from where - files that are part of word processing docs, interface elements, corrupting your iPhoto Library. There are many perfectly legitimate reasons why you might have what appears to be duplicates but are not.
    Rule number One: Never delete anything on your machine whose job you don't understand.

  • Remove ALL Images from PDF Export?

    I'd like to remove ALL images from a PDF export (Indesign CS6), with the intention of having the smallest file size possible for review. All the images are Photoshop PSDs.
    I have created a PDF Preset (PDF 1.7) that omits EPS, PDF and Bitmap.
    That covers any PSDs that contain opaque backgrounds, i.e. are considered to be non-transparent. However, any PSDs that do NOT contain such backgrounds still appear in the exported PDF. I assume they are NOT considered to be Bitmaps?!?
    I've gone for maximal compression of images (in the Preset) also just to see how small I can get the file, but it's still over a meg, and I'd really like even smaller. I live in a rural part of England where net access is painfully slow, and even a few meg of data takes far too long to upload, not to mention the constant drop-outs. Consider further that my document is likely to grow by several orders of magnitude and hopefully you can see why I'd like to sort this issue out as soon as possible.
    I've not done any scripting but assume it would be trivial to hide images with a script. However, I'm not sure how such a script might know how to make visible only the images that were previously hidden by the script. Obviously I would not wish to unhide images that must stay hidden. Maybe some form of image/object tagging, if that's even possible in this product, i.e. tag them "temp hide" on first pass of the script, and so forth.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.
    Regards,
    James

    @James – to mark the container frames of the nonprinting images by a fill color, you could add the following lines of code in the for loop:
    allGraphicsArray[n].nonprinting = true;
    //The parent of the graphic is the container that holds it.
    //We could use it to fill it with a tint of e.g. 20% of black:
    allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillColor = "Black";
    allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillTint = 20;
    But this approach will add a new problem for images, that only use a portion of the holding graphic frame. Or are only partly visible due to a clipping path or a clipping mask or totally transparent areas due to transparent pixels.
    Already colored backgrounds will be recolored…
    @Sandee – I see the advantage of the PostScript to Distiller way in this situation, but there are two disadvantages:
    1. Live transparency will be flattened (could be no issue in this use case, but you never know).
    2. The gray area with the big X will be applied also to parts of the images where no pixels are present (transparent pixels in PhotoShop or TIFF files).
    To work around all these issues we need a more complex script that is building a  path object around the transparent parts of an image or using an applied clipping path for that purpose and fill that with a gray tint (and maybe with an X).
    Here some screen shots to illustrate the problems (with or without using PostScript/Distiller):
    1. Original set up:
    One placed PhotoShop file with transparency stacked upon the text frame.
    The image inside its holding frame is selected.
    The visibility of one of its layers depicting a second chair on the left side is switched off.
    2. The same setup in a different view:
    3. After running the script with the two additional lines of code:
    Using the PostScript method would do nearly the same plus adding a cross using the  area of the selected image.

  • How can I remove one image from a slideshow?

    Hi,
    I have several slideshows and want to remove one or two images.
    Is there a way to do this without deleting and rebuilding the slideshow ?
    Thanks in advance,
    christos

    Hi,
    I don't use thumbnails but I went ahead and turned them on.
    Perhaps due to the position of the slideshow only a few thumbnails appeared.
    I wasn't able to delete the image I wanted removed.
    I tried to remove the image from my assets, and that deleted the whole slide show.
    ( didn't save the changes )
    thanks,

    Choose one or more Projects, and then use Export as New Library (from File).  The resulting export will be a fully functioning Aperture Library to either transfer and open on the Macbook Pro, or to Import into a library you already have on the MBP.
