Album vs Project vs Folder

I want to create a project that lists images of plants and animals. So I'd presumably have a folder named Animals containing subfolders, like Mammals, which would in turn include the subfolders Cats, Whales, etc.
So I'm trying to get a handle on the difference between projects, albums, folders and smart folders.
Let's say I call my overall project "Life Images." Should I create a new "project" called Life Images? Should Life Images then include two separate "albums" for plants and animals? And would I then create a "folder" (or "smart folder") for Mammals? And can I create a "Cats" folder inside mammals?
Thanks.

You can move Images between Projects.  This is as simple as selecting and dragging.  The destination Project must be shown in the Library tab of the Inspector.  (You cannot move images by dragging and dropping from one Browser to another.)
"Projects" in Aperture are a unique kind of container.  You should understand their "uniqueness" before committing to any storage structure.
You upper scheme doesn't make sense: Albums cannot contain Folders (or other Albums).
It also is not recommended: Projects should (by common consent -- this isn't Apple's official position) contain 1,000 Images or fewer.  I limit mine to 500, and mostly range between 15 and 300.
You lower scheme makes sense, except with the same limitation on Projects.
I have several times already recommended treating your storage structure distinct from your retrieval structure.  Have you decided to not do that, or has it simply not registered?
You should -- hey, free advice -- make a detailed, exact, and exhaustive list of _what groupings of images you want to be able to retrieve_ first.  Then design a database that allows you to do that.  Do the abstract work first, and you won't have to redo the concrete work six times to get it right.
I recognize the excitement of seeing the possibility of your project rising from the shimmering surface of new software.  In order to make it work, however, you are going to have to learn a whole new software program.  Aperture is broad, deep, and different.  Mastering it takes a good bit of time.  Set up some sample databases, try things out, work your way through the excellent "Exploring Aperture 3" tutorial (available for the Help menu -- though you might not be able to use the sample Library, as it shipped with the $200 version and not with the $80 version).

  • How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?

    How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?
    That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
    I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
    Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder  that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
    Thank you.

    Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
    you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library.  As Terence Devlin said:
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What you should set up:
    Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
    Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
    Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
    Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

  • Is it possible to export all information (metadata, list of pictures within each album or project) about ALL pictures in Aperture to text files, in a single operation?

    I have downloaded a trial version of Aperture because I would like to switch from using Picasa and gimp to using Aperture.  I already know that I want to use Aperture, and that I cannot learn how in 30 days.  I want to use the 30 days to see if I can solve a different problem: bulk export of all information except edits and versions from Aperture.
    I want to avoid locking information (other than than the edits and version information that Aperture maintains) about my photos into any one piece of software.
    Picasa stores a copy of almost all its information in text filies (mostly XML or .ini format) that are scattered through its picture library.  These files can be scanned and found by use of Mac OS X tools that are availabe in Terminal (at the bash command line).  All of the information about albums, faces, etc can be exported by a single command (after wtiting the progams that the command will initiate.  I have not yest found any similar files in Aperture.
    Aperture supports the export of EXIF and IPTC metadata, but only for selected photos, and does not appear to support the export of other information at all.
    What I would like to do with a single operation, from either Aperture or Terminal, is to export the entire arrangement of phost ins albums and projects, lists of albums, projects and phots with all metadata (including added keywords) attached to each, and for referenced photos, the external file name.  I do not care if would be in one file or many different text files, because Mac OS X provides all the tools I would need to extract the information I would want from any number of text files.
    This would allow me to reconstruct all of the information about my photos (except for edits and versions) outside Aperture, and to use that info in a database outside Aperture.  I would then be able to use Aperture while still being able to do everything that I could do with Picasa.
    The most helpful form of an answer to this question might be a list of places to look in the Apple support and Apple developer documentation.  It is difficult to teach me anything complicated, but I am fairly good at figuring out things from documentation.

    The following script recursively lists the content of an Aperture library.  The output is simple, for demonstration puposes, but could be modified to XML.  If the XML were that of a PLIST, the Apple Property List viewer oculd be used to diaplsy the output.
    A simlar script produces all of the keywords and tags for all of the images in Aperture.
    The scripts run much faster in the shell than in the AppleScript Editor bcause the shwll produces no debugging or monitoring information.

  • Albums and projects (quick one please)

    just about to set down and spend a full day fixing my database here.
    can anyone please remind me the proper way to organize albums versus projects?
    i have a series of folders that contain either albums or projects and i need to reorganize this information. recently someone reminded me (a former windows user) that I need to think of my Aperture database as basically a place to store my slides. is there a good way to think about Albums versus Projects in this sense?
    can i drag "slides" out of an Album and put them in a Project or take them out of a Project and put them in an Album or is this a bad idea?
    also, when organizing slideshows and video should i only put these in a Folder or can they also go in a Project?
    thanks for a push on this.
    - Jon

    Hi Jon -- I see that others are offering excellent advice.  I'll address your specific questions, and then read through the rest of the thread, but probably won't post unless you have additional questions.

    Hi Kirby.
    Thanks very much. Also thanks for the link. OK. So it appears that I have a lot of Albums that I don't want or need.
    1. Can I simply delete these with the assumption that the original images are stored elsewhere?
    2. Can you help me a bit with getting rid of folders? I mean, assuming I see a Folder that I don't want to keep - can I delete the ALBUMS in the Folder and then assume that there aren't any original images in the folder because these /have/ to be stored in a Project? I mean, can I just delete the Albums in here and assume that there aren't any original anything assuming I know I don't need the Album - or assuming I have moved the Album to another Folder?
    3. Can I basically have an organization as follows:
    A. Projects with ORIGINAL IMAGES or VIDEOS
    B. Folders with SLIDESHOWS, or ALBUMS
    Thanks a ton.
    - Jon
    1.  Yes.  Images (which I greatly prefer over "slides" -- for reasons in addition to that that is what they are called by Aperture) must be in a Project and in only one Project.  They can be in as many Albums as you want.  As someone mentions below -- Albums hold just pointers to the Images in the Projects.  If you delete an Image from an Album (Aperture will tell you your are "removing" it from the Album), all you have done is remove it from the Album.  That Image must still be in one Project.  If you delete an Image from a Project, it goes in Aperture's Trash.  If you empty the Trash, it is removed from your Library.
    2.  Yes.  Folders are just ways to group and hierachize (sorry) containers.  Again, Images "live" in a Project.  They only visit Albums.  If the Folder contains Projects, deleting those Projects will "kill" the Images they contain.  If the Folder contains Albums, deleting those Albums will only end the visit the Images were making to that Album.
    3.  Yes.  I have written quite a bit about this -- a search might turn up something worthwhile.
    Stick with what is simply -- especially as get used to Aperture.  Make very shoot a Project.  (Again, the mis-naming of "Project" is the single worst interface decision made in Aperture.)  Images or Videos -- doesn't matter.  You can think of Projects as bins that hold your originals -- just like those sleeves that used to hold your negatives when you got your prints back from the drugstore (if).
    I separate my _storage containers_ from my _output containers_.  So a shoot -- "CRJ: Mother/Child Portrait" will be imported into a Project of the same name, under a Folder called "Shoots".  Then I'll copy to an Album the Images that are being published.  In this case, the album would be in my Portraits Folder (and the name would start with the clients initials -- I don't group containers by client).
    That's just a sample.  The joy -- and part of the labor -- of Aperture is that it _is not_ a turn-key solution.  You get to (and must) build a custom structure -- presumably to meet your needs. 
    The one dictum I strongly suggest following is "One shoot = one Project".  The reason for this is that the Library is almost always confined to photographs taken by one person.  One person can _only_ shoot sequentially.  If you stick to "One shoot = one Project", you will end up with a life-long string of Projects, in sequential order.  This can never become confusing -- and that is very useful to a user of Aperture.  (But please note well that you don't have to store your Projects (or Images) by _date_.  This is hard-wired into Aperture.  Any time you want to view this life-long string of Projects, just go to Projects view, ungrouped, and sorted by date.)

  • Need help with Aperture library duplicating all 'Albums' under 'Projects' library

    Fairly new to Aperture but I've tried to search many times for solutions to this issue. 
    Scenario:  In the Library, I have 3 albums under the 'Albums' view at the bottom that I created.  They were never associated with a project so they were always kept down here.  This I believe is normal.  What is not normal is that this morning the same 3 albums started showing up in an Albums folder under one of my projects in the  'Project' view above it.  At first when I clicked on the project it showed the entire library (+20k photos) despite saying only 14 images were in this folder.  I fixed this by moving the 14 photos into a different project with a different name.  But the Albums folder remains.  It is a direct mirror of the albums below (same name, same photos), and when I delete an album from the 'Projects' view it deletes the same album below.  Same thing if I remove a picture from the album above, it does it below.  I have other albums under specific projects that do not show up under 'Albums' view in the Library.  Again I belive this is correct.
    Making this more frustrating is that I can't just simply move or delete the duplicate Albums above and it is under a 'Project' that doesn't make any sense (e.g., under a Project named 'Travel' but all albums are related to 'Birthday Parties').  I tried creating new albums and then deleting the old ones, but then it actually removes the 'Album' section of my library and I don't know how to get it back as I'd still like to keep that functionality.
    I have also repaired and rebuilt the database twice with no improvement.  One other point is that I believe this is officially an iPhoto library, but this version of Aperture and iPhoto supposedly allows for sharing without any issues.  I tried repairing via iPhoto as well, but no luck there.
    Can anyone help or suggest solutions?  Thanks in advance.

    The sections in the Library Inspector have hidden controls to Hided or Show them. The controls will appear, if you hover the mouse close to the right border of the Inspector panel. There you can toggle the visibility of the different sections on and off.
    The whole Subsection (ALBUM in ALL CAPS) is gone, no remant left (so no Hide/Unhide button).  I can hide the PROJECTS, SHARED, RECENT, ETC, but ALBUMS is again gone.
    Just to be better able to understand what is happening in your library:
    At first when I clicked on the project it showed the entire library (+20k photos) despite saying only 14 images were in this folder.
    This looks to me, like your albums were "Smart Albums" and not regular albums.   Regular albums don't change the contents, when you open them for browsing. Or reflect changes in other library items.
    What do the icons of your "albums" look like? Is there a "gears" icon on it? Then your album is a smart album, and I'd try to update the smart settings for the album/
    Nope.  No gears and I've never used a Smart Album.  They were all part of my old iPhoto library but that import was done 2-3 months ago and this issue just started today.  Right now the Album is just a folder under PROJECTS, with each individual Album beneath having icons that look like two photos stacked (i.e., normal albums).  Also, when I click on the main Album's folder it reads 'TopLevelAlbums' as the header on the top of the main section.  When I click on any other project, folder, or individual album it just reads the same name as the header....this was the first clue to me that something was wrong...besides the ALBUM folder having +20k pictures in it.
    Aperture 3.5.1 .  I'm going to try creating the new library and see if it fixes it.  Thanks for the help.

  • I just upgraded to the new Photo and find a few things missing. May find more later. My Events are gone. Also, the Albums and Projects that I created that were on the left side tab of iPhoto are now gone. Where are they?

    Where are my Events from the old iPhoto? Also, where are the albums and projects I created that were on the left side tab in my old iPhoto?

    After importing my iPhoto Library no Events became Albums. Some of my Albums are still Albums, but many are missing from the Albums tab and Sidebar. One of the Albums listed has no photos when it should have 142. Another is missing nearly all of its photos. I found some missing Albums by name via the search window. Yet they remain missing from the Albums tab. Very strange indeed. This is one big mess right now! Thank goodness iPhoto still works.
    Yes, it's a mess for sure, and I've lost confidence in it for now.  First attempt, 5 photos came up missing.  Delete and start over, then after second attempt 18 photos go missing.  Even one single missing photo is a real confidence breaker for me.
    After conversion, and activation of the sidebar, all of my Events were migrated into a single "Photos" Album called "iPhoto Events".  Why would I want "legacy" Events segregated into one big Album?  What the heck am I supposed to do with that?  That's useless if new photos are going to be organized in some other way moving forward.  I cannot imagine new photos automatically putting themselves into a new Event inside of the "iPhoto Events" Album... because they won't.  I'll be stuck with my old iPhoto Events in this one Album, and the new stuff organized as per Photos.  Weird, just weird.
    Also, in the "all photos" view, there are dates that are just blank.  I think I know why.  In iPhoto, I merged various photos into single Events.  For whatever reason, within the Library, this left empty folders behind.  iPhoto's fault, not mine... I simply dragged & dropped photos to combine Events.   Then during Photos import/conversion these empty folders got converted into "blank" days within Photos... this is simply ridiculous.  When programming for an import, you'd want to ignore a folder if there are no files inside of it, not convert it into a block of photos that contain no photos.  It's nonsensical... you cannot have an iPhoto Event with zero photos, yet that's what was converted over.  LOL.
    I'm certainly not going to invest the time into cleaning up and moving hundreds of Events and 18,000 photos if Photos can't even do a simple library conversion.  Heck, what about the dozens of photos that my iPhone 5S fails to geotag for whatever reason?  Can't edit geotags.  Can't bulk edit meta data.  These are pretty basic functions.  Total fail.
    I'm going back to iPhoto for a while, hoping Apple eventually cleans up this mess into something usable.

    i can drag and drop one folder which is a proper album into itunes under playlist. if i drag and drop two proper albums into itunes it is also ok but if itunes does not know my own compliations and i drag and rop my 3000 folders in one shot into itunes i get only one playlist containing all songs.
    pleased to hear if anybody know how i can avoid to do 3000 times drag and drop a folder into itunes.

    Before you begin the import, edit the properties of the tracks to set the Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a Compilation to Yes.

  • Cannot open project: the folder for this project cannot be found cs4

    I am using Encore CS4  and I get the error "cannot open project: the folder for this project cannot be found"
    Having searched the forums I can not find a solution for when the project folder has been deleted.
    Can someone tell me the solution to this issue.

    If you deleted the Encore directory, you cannot fix this.  You'll have to start over.
    Encore creates this folder structure:
    Root or some other Folder
    MyProject.ncor (the Encore project FILE)
    MyProject (the Encore project directory)
    Other Folders for the Encore project (e.g. Cache, Sources)
    You can get the "the folder for this project cannot be found"  in various ways.
    There have been two recent threads in which the user, by accident or on purpose, changed the folder location or name.  You can fix this by renaming the folder correctly or moving it back (or moving the Encore project file to the correct relative position).
    Folder was renamed.  If you name the folder "MyProjectX" Instead of "MyProject," the project file "MyProject.ncor" can't find it.
    Encore project file was moved - or Encore directories were moved.  If you move "MyProject.ncor" to some other directory or drive (including inside the folder "MyProject"), it can't find the directory - it is looking one directory level below where the project file is located.
    If you delete the Encore project directories, the stuff that Encore uses that projects menus, motion, etc, are gone.  While many of its instructions are inside the project file itself, many are not.  Some of the deleted material might be recreated (e.g. trying to fake Encore into accepting a copy of a menu), but most cannot.

  • Aperture 3 why can't i drag projects into folder

    Hi. Im using aperture 3.4.3 and I  can't i drag projects into folder. Why is this? Help!

    Projects can only go into folders that are not under other projects. So for example
    Library
         folder
              project
    is OK
    but
    Library
         project
              folder
                   project
    Is not OK (the last project won;t go)
    So if you create a folder at the top level can you drag a project into it?

  • For 10 years I've been keeping my photos in iPhoto in "Albums". Now that I have Aperture 3.5 I began copying (in iPhoto) photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct?

    For 10 years I've been keeping my photos in iPhoto in "Albums". Now that I have Aperture 3.5 installed, I began copying my photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct? If this is correct, I would expect that I can then delete my albums with photos in iPhoto since my photos are now in Aperture projects. Correct?

    iPhoto and Aperture are having an inconsistent terminology:
    For an introduction to Aperture's terminology see Kirby Krieger's great user tip:    
                 The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
    iPhoto's events correspond to "Projects" in Aperture.
    Albums and smart albums are called the same in both applications.
    iPhoto Projects (books, cards,.. ) are "Products" in Aperture.
    I began copying my photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct? If this is correct, I would expect that I can then delete my albums with photos in iPhoto since my photos are now in Aperture projects. Correct?
    Your events should show as projects in Aperture and your albums as abums.You should not need to do any moving around, but betetr do not delete any photo anywhere in aperture, until you are sure about the storage structure.
    Like in iPhoto, there are library items that contain the images (events in iPhoto, projects in Aperture). Each photo is in exactly one project in Aperture. And there are library items, that can referenced the same photo in its project, without duplicating or storing it, albums ans smart albums.

  • Why do I find a duplicate export of a Smart Album in my Pictures folder every time I create a MobileMe Gallery Album from that Smart Album?

    Using the last version of Aperture 2, I have noticed that every time I publish a Smart Album to my MobileMe Gallery, I find a duplicate of the album in a folder  with the same name as the Smart Album in my Pictures folder.  Why does that happen?  Can I prevent that?  If I can't prevent it, can I just send the folder to the trash without it having an effect on the Smart Album in Aperture or the MobileMe Album in my Gallery?

    Select the album, Select all photos in the album, then click on the info button.   Number of photos and total size are on  top of info pane.

  • Searcing text in album or project names

    Hi! In iphoto I could search for text in the name of an album. For example by typing "copenhagen" I would see all the pictures that are in albums whose name contained the word copenhagen. (xmas in copenhagen, copenhagen opera, my friend molly in copenhagen etc etc..). In aperture this does not seem possible. I would have to put copenhagen in the metadata of each photo. If you have lots of projects and albums, how do you find them fast? You do not always look for individual pic, but often simply want to find a certain Album or project... Is there no way of making the search criteria include the album and project names? It seems like such a basic thing we would all have to do..... Help! Thanks...
    several   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    yes, that is the work aroudn I am using. every tiem I create an album, I put its name in the metadata of each image in teh album. boring. it should be automatic!!! After all, if iphoto can do it, aperture should be able too!!!!!
    Thansk for your help!

    Dear Nishit
    Thanks for responding.
    I have SAP 4.7 in my system. And I have cProject suite 3.1.
    I extracted the 51030228.ZIP (this was the file I downloaded from service market place), There are several files & folders. One among them is INST folder, which contains INST/DATA folder. In DATA folder I can see a file IN310640.SAR .
    I logged on to 000 client in SAP. Then used SAINT. I tried loading IN310640.SAR from front-end (IN310640.SAR this file is copied on to the system hard disk). After a while I got a pop up saying:
    The file transfer with the GUI upload can take a long time for files that are more than 10 MB.
    The file 'IN310640.SAR' is 53.185.336 bytes size. You must therefore use FTP to transfer
    to the application server and unpack it  as described in the 'Load Installation  section of the Online Help.
    Do you still want to transfer the file
    When I click on YES, nothing happens.
    Can you please suggest the method to install this add-on?
    Thanks & Regards
    Amaresh
