Aperture 3- Calls Master image version 2 ????
Downloaded the trial of Aperture 3. Started playing around with it and noticed that the master image is being called version 2 and the actual adjusted version is not even labeled as a version. If I create multiple other versions of the image they are being labeled correctly as 3, 4 etc...
This is very odd to me. Possibly a BIG problem when deleting versions. Might end up trashing the master image since it's labeled as version-2.
Anyone else notice this?
Thank you both.
Of course I'm still confused though. Thought I knew Aperture, ha!
What I find in Aperture2 is that when I look at my viewer with all versions unstacked there always is one image in the stack that is indeed an image without any adjustments to it (what I thought to be my master). If I try to delete this image I get a warning that I am about to delete a master image.
In Aperture3 I do see what you are saying about them all being versions. I guess the question I have then is that when I do delete all the images in the stack where is my master image? When I turn off the "create new version" preference things seem more 'normal' to me as compared with Aperture2 but I still don't see an unadjusted 'version' of the image like I used to.
In Aperture2 when I had say 4 versions of an image and I didn't want or like any of them I could delete all the versions of an image in a stack and there was the unadjusted image there still viewable. I'd start adjusting away again and then my new version would be created.
There must be some preference somewhere that I'm not seeing to accomplish this all.
Thanks again! I think I've got too many versions of this question in my head.

Aperture 2 deletes master with version
Anyone have this problem? I use Aperture 2, I want to delete a version and not the master image, so I go to the drop down and select 'Delete Version' and I get the 'You're about to delete the master and all versions' window instead of the 'You're about to delete the version' window. Both tabs take me to the same window.
Nope, this is what it sounds like. If I try to delete a legit version it wants to throw EVERYTHING away. I've tried reloading the software, etc. but this won't go away. I'm thinking it came in on a update as a bug, but the re-install should have taken care of that...right?

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.
Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters). -
How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?
CeliaJane, you need to distinguish between the Aperture Library and the Aperture Application.
Aperture stores your images in a database, and it is this database that we have to find and probably to repair, not the application (hopefully). And since you do not see any images, I suspect that Aperture created a new, empty Aperture Library,and you are now viewing this empty library. Usully the library sits in your Pictures fiolder.
Look into your Pictures folder, if you see a file with a colorful icon with three pictures, called something.aplibrary, as shown above. And also enter ".applibrary" into the "Spotlight" searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. If you have more than one Library, you should be able to find them this way.
The largest file you find will probably be the correct library.
When you have found the correct file called aperturexxxx.aplibrary, try to open it in "First Aid" mode.
Select the Library and press down "command" and "option" key at the same time, while you double click the library.
Now the First Aid dialogue should appear:
Select: Repair Permissions" and see if you can open the Library again. If it did not help, try the other two options in turn.

How do I find the master image of an image. I clicked on the "Show master image" icon of an image but all I got back was "Master image not found". This particular image was cropped but I can't seem to find the original.
Dream,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group.
Using the "M" key or the "show master image" menu option or button should show you the master in place of your version, allowing you to toggle between version and master view. So, yes, you are trying the right thing.
Your error implies that you have a referenced image, and that the image is missing. Is that true? Can you "Show in Finder"? If you have the option, it's a referenced photo, but if you cannot actually find it in the Finder, then you misplaced it after Aperture imported it.

Aperture Facebook Uploader: Both Master and Version
I've searched the forums and see that others had this problem fixed with 3.1.1; but I'm running 3.1.2 and if I edit, crop and otherwise enhance and make a new version and make that version the stack pick, the uploader insists on uploading both (or multiple) master and versions to Facebook. I have to de-stack the images and delete from facebook, and this then reflects in my project/album.
What the heck? I should be able to upload one version. And if I choose to delete and unstack, why does it reflect in the master database?I don't think Facebook is retaining all the Metadata from images uploaded by any means. However, it's definitely retaining the Version Name - And this is what serves as the caption for the photo in the photo album on Facebook.
Since updating Aperture to 3.1.1, I no longer get the entire 'stack' or multiple versions of the image uploaded. So the software update for Aperture HAS fixed this issue.
However, I have now noticed another issue since starting to use the Aperture uploader. I have about 10 albums/galleries on Facebook. All of these were created prior to the Aperture 3.0 release with the integrated Facebook uploader.
Now when I upload an image and subsequently Aperture accesses my Facebook photo albums, it begins to sync these photos and albums. The Facebook directory that you can see at the bottom of the Library now lists those albums that exist on Facebook and begins to sync those photos. However, when I browse photos by 'date' all those Facebook photos from those albums appear in my Library with the date listed as the date I first viewed them.
So if I click on one of the Facebook albums in Aperture, let Aperture go through its sync process, then review library "photos" and sort by date, all the Facebook photos I have looked at appear as the most current photos.
this is not a good thing because I have Albums, Projects etc. that are sync'd with iPhone or Apple TV that include date filters (projects in last month, photos last week etc.) Now all these legacy Facebook photos are appearing on these other devices. -
I am trying to add image version from a master to an imovie project. While in imovie the master image appears but the version created from the master is not available when in imove. Is there a setting in aperture that helps make version viewable such that you can add them to the imovie project?
My thanks in advanceHow are you trying to add the image? If you are using the media browser in iMovie you need to make sure that there is a Preview generated for that Version.

Changing master images in aperture and iphoto
hi
am i right in thinking that there is no way of altering my original (master) images (located in my 'pictures' folder) in both aperture ans iphoto? I want to be able to see the changes in the original images in this folder, and have these altered images available for other applications, such as itunes. i don't want to have to export altered images from aperture/iphoto, but rather just have one copy of each image. will i need to use preview for basic changes or a third party application such as graphic converter/photoshop for more advanced permanent changes to the originals?
thanks
nickhi
i have checked the following options: 'maintain previews for project' for my project, and 'share previews with ilife and iwork' in the general preferences. i have then altered the colours of an image in an album for this project and the thumbnail and image in aperture update OK, but nothing changes in finder, and when i open the image in preview it it is still the same as the master image, rather than the image with changed colour. am i doing something wrong?
thanks

g4 powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)I lost an image in the same way---Aperture crashed while I was moving the image. But I was able to recover the image and in the process learned a lot about how Aperture works from the point of view of storage and security and back-up. So
1. Do you have a back-up of your Aperture Library in an Aperture Vault? If so, you can run Restore Library from the Vault. But this is a fairly lengthy process.
2. If you have a back-up, you can go to it and "Open Package Contents" using the Finder; and then find the image missing from your Aperture Library and make a copy to your Desktop; then Import the image back into your Aperture Library.
3. If you don't have a back-up---and this is a very dangerous way to live!---try Rebuilding the Aperture Library. To Rebuild, quit Aperture; then hold down Command and Option while rebooting Aperture; and then follow the Rebuild instructions.
4. Another possibility, which is similar to the procedure used when a document becomes corrupted and won't open, is to find your problem image file in the Aperture Library (use "open package contents" in the Finder); copy it to the Desktop and see if it will open in Preview. Sometimes copying a corrupted document or image file will correct the corruption. If the copy opens in Preview, re-Import the image into Aperture and try it there.
And, after all is said and done, be sure to have a back-up of the Aperture Library at all times. It will save your skin over and over. -
Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library
Mac OS X 10.10.1 (yes, Yosemite...)
Aperture 3.6
Lightroom 5.7,1 (CC version)
When trying to import some libraries from aperture I get this immediate response "Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library".
In the plug-in import window, Number of image/video files is "undetermined", as well as Disk space required.
Tried with different Aperture libraries, but with the same negative result.
The plug-in worked in previous Lightroom version or when it was a stand alone plug-in.
Thnak you
StefanoOK, here is the workaround I did to migrate all my images.
1. I broke down my Aperture library into separate libraries based on year (highlight all the 2014 projects, for example, right click, and "export to library")
2. Import each separate library into Lightroom, one at a time.
3. Delete the year-based libraries - and leave your original library on the drive (in case you need it in the future).
I found I had one project in my 2013 photos which was causing Lightroom's scan of my database to fail. So I ended up creating metadata riders for that one project and imported it after I got the rest of my images imported. -
Master images not available in Aperture 3
Hi,
I recently bought a 27" iMac. I moved all my data and apps from my 20" iMac.
All my image folders are present, and my photos are in there (Canon raw).
Aperture shows my photos in the correct library, but when I try to export them as jpgs, I get an error, something like "master images not locatable".
Anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers
Martin
Message was edited by: martinbass"I assume in transferring my data to the new iMac, the hard drive name has changed or something."
Corrrectamundo! I'm guessing you are right.
The library is trying to find the masters at the old location. You need to use the "Relocate Masters" command, under "File".
Under "Photos" (left tab), select all images, then do the Relocate Masters. You should then get a listing of all photos that are disconnected from the masters. Now point to the location where they actually are and do a reconnection. You may have to do this for all top-level projects. -
Delete master file & versions fromhard drive ... completely!!!
I just bought a new iMac yesterday and imported 12,000 pictures on the hard drive. Strarted my clean up using delete master image and all version ... files gets transfered into the aperture trash! ... i empty the trash ... files STILL REMAIN ON MY HARD DRIVE.
Why is that?
What am I doing wrong.
Files were imported in a folder I CREATED ... I called it PHOTOS
Thanks everyone for your help .. a little bit discouraged!
EricDon't be discouraged. This is a feature, not a bug. You may not like it, but you should know how it works. Complete instructions are found many places in the Help file. Search under "Trash".
Deleting items in Aperture can be a four-step process. Each step but the last is reverseable.
1. Mark photo as "rejected".
2. Move photo or other items to the Aperture Trash. This is just a special container called "Trash".
3. Empty the Aperture Trash. This moves the items out of Aperture's control, and put them in your system trash.
4. Empty the system trash. This is done via Finder. -
Moving Master Images after Facebook Upload
I'm using a fully updated version of Aperture 3 and ran into a problem today moving master images that I have not experienced before. My normal workflow is to batch import images from my camera every few days in one large import, so I often have multiple subjects in every batch. For my 9 months with the program I have always downloaded everything into a temporary holding project I literally call "Hold". When I get the time to do a detailed review, I then delete what I don't want and move (drag) the master images I want to keep from "Hold" into other subject-matter-unique projects across the library. This works for me and has worked flawlessly until today when I downloaded about 20 images. What I did differently today was I took things out of my usual order and decided to quickly upload 3 of the images from the "Hold" folder to Facebook using the Aperture Uploader. The upload went fine, as it has in the past, but the problem surfaced when I then tried to move all the master images out of "Hold" to my permanent library file (project) structure. The 17 images (which were not uploaded to Facebook) moved out to their new projects just fine, as always, but the 3 masters which were the source for the Facebook upload will not allow themselves to be moved out of "Hold". When I drag them to the intended project, Aperture copies them into that project, but the original stays in "Hold." Of course, if I try to then delete what is in "Hold" (with a copy safely filed away elsewhere in the Library) I get the warning that I am attempting to delete a master upon which other versions are dependent (to include "Facebook albums" it says), and all will be deleted.
My take on this is the Facebook upload from "Hold", and the resulting versions created in the Facebook album (far bottom entries on the Library listing), now make "Hold" a permanent home for those associated master images. Is there some way to get around this and actually move the master images to where I want them to be AND to de-clutter the "Hold" folder? Or does this mean any use of Aperture's very handy (at least to date) Facebook uploader permanently glues a master to whatever project it was in when it was uploaded, never to fully and completely move again? Thanks.I just made a test of this, and can confirm the apparent behavior. However, I examined the Masters folder in the Package of the Library (and I have a Managed Library) and I believe there may be some referencing between Projects taking place. The same appears to result where you have created a slideshow. In the Facebook album and in the Slideshow album, the file info reports the master file name -- in my case the xxxx.NEF file, which clearly none of them really are, but rather some version.
I will try to do a more precise test where I can measure the size of the Masters folder to see if the "Move" adds to its size by an amount equal to the size of the Master file.
Interesting!

Can someone please explain file sizes as they relate to Masters and Versions? I still get confused about this point. I would think my Master image would contain the most data, and therefore have the larger file size than its versions. However, perhaps I am mistaken on this point. When I export Masters, the file sizes are always a lot smaller than the associated versions that I export.
When I export a version, I am exporting it at JPEG Original size, so isn't this compressing the master? I thought this would cause it to have less data? I'm just really unclear about why the sizes differ and what is going on. For example, my Master JPEG might be 2MB, but an exported version of that image could be something like 4.46MB.

Corky,
Thanks, great stuff!
I have a few follow up questions. I hope it doesn't get too confusing.
1. The camera takes a picture. When I see an image size in Aperture of 2 MB, is that the same size that the image file was when the camera took it? Then it compresses it into a JPEG even if I was shooting in JPEG instead of RAW? So the 2 MB size image gets compressed to say 1 MB and then upon import into Aperture it gets uncompressed again and is seen at 2 MB?
With Aperture, the reported size of the file in the Metadata Inspector pane is about the size on disk (slightly smaller in my experience, but close). I am not sure what Aperture is doing here, but you can think of it as the space used on disk by the Master file. Aperture is not reporting the un-compressed (expanded) file state as Photoshop does when you work on the same file.
In the case of a digital camera, you capture an image and the sensor in the camera records the brightness value of the scene on the 'photo sites' of the sensor (the amount of photo sites on the sensor is expressed in Mega Pixels (means million pixels) by multiplying the number of sites in width by the number of sites in height). In this instance, Photo Site is expressed as pixel (3200 pixels x 2400 pixels = 7,680,000 pixels - or 7.68 Mega Pixels). The light captured by the camera travels through a color filter matrix where each site has a color value assigned to it.
When you shoot JPEG, the camera takes the brightness data from the sensor, combined with the color data collected and applies what is called a 'demosaic' process which predicts what color each adjacent pixel is to create a color image with smooth transitions between colors. The camera then processes this data (and applies compression in camera) to create a JPEG. This process does throw out data the camera software (firmware) decides is unnecessary to create a final JPEG image.
Current digital cameras do a good job (for the most part) of processing a nice JPEG image. If you shoot RAW, you are telling the camera not to process the sensor data and to save the uncompressed data for you to do the processing via a RAW processing program such as Aperture.
In short, the 2 MB file size you see in Aperture is what your camera delivered to the camera card after processing (although it might be 2.3 MB or something on disk).
2. If my scenario in #1 is correct, I still don't understand why a version being exported at a level 12 quality (which is where I set it) comes out roughly twice this size. Obviously I am missing something here. I understand about it being compressed less upon export if the quality setting is at 12, but it is still getting compressed, so how does it become bigger than the original size to begin with. Again, I am missing something there, so a little deeper insight would be helpful.
Based on my answer to #1, your Master file is 2 MB on disk and Aperture is reporting that to you. It is not telling you what size the uncompressed file size is prior to applying any adjustments and then re-compressing.
3. I do set my export quality settings to 12 as I want the highest quality file to be sent to photo processing sites for printing purposes. A) is this necessary and meaningful to get the best quality prints? B) Do I need to change the DPI settings to something higher than the default 72 when I export these versions for printing? I was always under the impression that 72 DPI was standard for viewing images on a computer screen, but not ideal for printing. Is it beneficial to change the DPI to something higher - 300 for example - for the purpose of exporting images to be printed?
For printing, you will want to export at 150 - 300 DPI. I have read many articles and some books which talk to this and most say that 240 DPI is as good as 300 DPI for all but fine art printing on high end machines. I typically use 150 DPI to start and see what the print looks like. There is no magic number for printing, it really is about verifying the result once printed and then you will know what setting you like the best.
One thing is that the higher the DPI you use, the smaller the size of the print at the native (original) resolution of your image. So for a 3200 x 2400 pixel image, you would exchange pixels for dots (in Dots Per Inch) which is used by the printer to put ink on paper.
3200/300 = 10.66 inches wide x 2400/300 = 8 inches tall
3200/150 = 21.33 inches wide x 2400/150 = 16 inches tall
In the examples above, you could print the same image at 10.66 x 8 inches or 21.33 x 16 inches depending on which DPI setting you export to print with.
4. I export versions and not masters when I am printing images. I do this because I generally make all of my edits in Aperture and I want those versions to be printed. It still seems odd to me that exporting versions gives me a larger file size than when I export masters. Don't the masters get exported with the same quality settings - i.e. 12 - upon export?
Exporting the versions is expected because that is when any adjustments are 'baked in' to your final file outside Aperture.
Exporting the Master is basically copying the original imported image file out of Aperture. There is an option to write IPTC information to the Master on export, but - to the best of my knowledge - that does not require any uncompress / re-compress process.
Aperture only reads the data in the Master once to generate an image on screen for you to work with (at least this is my understanding). It's the version that is subject to any re-compression on export, not the Master. In this way, Aperture protects the original Master file from destructive alteration.
Anyway, those are my understandings. There are many here who are way beyond my skill / knowledge level, so hopefully I have expressed the information accurately and adequately. -
Difference between image version and selection
I am trying to write a script that aperture will execute when I import files. When I run the script after passing it a selection the script runs perfectly. When I run the script using ImportActionsForVersions which supposedly passes in a list of image versions the script has an issue when I export what I thought is an image version. It seems that there is an issue in the datat type being passed in from aperture vs what I get when I select them myself when I run the code on its own.
Anyone have any thoughts?Frank,
You actually helped me out a while ago just to get the ImportActionForVersion to work - started small.
First let me start with experience - I am just starting out with Applescript, I have written a fair amount of software for numerical analyses over the past 30 years. Startedin FORTRAN and then moved to C. I am somewhat familiar with OO coding but not nearly as familiar as FORTRAN and C. Applescript appears to me to be something different as well. Powerful but I have no idea what really goes on inside a program like Aperture.
I have read and continue to re-read the Aperture Applescript manual, as well as several other Applescript guides, web resources and books. I suspect that something hasn't yet sunk in that needs to sink in.
I have not tried the exact example because quite frankly it didn't seem to fit what I wanted to do and I assume it would work just fine, running it wouldn't tell me anyting helpful. Perhaps that is simple minded. I am guessing that the repeat loop is stepping through individual versions passed in by aperture and the tell block is for each version changing the preset based on the exif tag.
I am hoping that I can loop through image versions in a similar fashion and then for each image version that has a CRW, CR2 or NEF file suffix I can export the file, convert it into a DNG and then reimport the DNG as master.
The code may not yet be complete but that is the intent and it works reasonably well using "on run". I'd like this to work so it does this automatically in the future.
So my code is below. Following my code is a sample of the output I am getting in the log file I am writing.
To test this I import a couple of files from a compact flash card into aperture which then calls this script - as the log files indicate the script runs and the statement immediately before export curImg to exportFolder metadata embedded appears to be the last statement executed. Again when I use essentially the same code in a script that starts with on run and is called after I select a couple of pictures in aperture it runs just fine.
