Aperture File Transfer?  Where photos are stored?

Hi, I have some questions that I simply cannot find the answers to.  I have Aperture 3 with roughly 7,557 photos on it.  Now, they are stored on the harddrive under "Aperture Library" however, they are separated by folders with numbers on it?  I have all my photos labeled in folders such as "Bermuda Trip" and so on.  So in all I have like 45 folders in Aperture with the title the photos are in.  Now they are not saved like this on the harddrive and I have no clue how the computer stores these files.  I actually want to transfer all the photos to another photo manager application and have zero clue on how to do it.  I decent with Macs and know quite a few things about them since 2005 but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get all my photos together and set for transfer to another computer and photo application.  Please help!  THANKS!

When you run the command a window will open where you can set the destination of the files.
You may want to test writing directly to the network by exporting a few originals and making sure they wind up where you want them.
If you have problems going right to the network do it in two steps, output to a local drive and then copy to the network.

  • Changing where photos are stored?

    Hello,
    I would like to be able to use iPhoto 6 with my photos held on a samba share, mounted as a local folder.
    I can tell iPhoto not to copy my photos to the iPhoto folder, however if I rotate or auto adjust images, then it puts them in the Modified folder under my iPhoto library. I'd really want them to overwrite the original on my samba share.
    Is there any flexibility over the organisation of my photos?
    With iTunes I can set the iTunes library folder to where my samba share is mounted and this works really well.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    iPhoto preserves the original file at all times, in keeping with the best principles of Digital Asset Management. This is a feature of iPhoto and cannot be turned off. If you don't want this feature then, simply, use another application.

    You might want to consider this very carefully. I've yet to see a good reason to operate a library like this unless you're using two photo organisers. Importing an deleting become multi-step operations, but mor eimportantly, migrating to a new HD or computer can be much more complex. You can run your entire library from an external disk.

    iPhoto offers tremendous flexibility in the organisation of your photos - Events, Albums, Smart Albums, Keywords, Slideshows, Books Calendars etc.
    However, all your questions are about File organisation. iPhoto is a Photo organiser.

  • Backed up Lightroom 2 to a 'backup plus'.  Will be installing Lightroom 5 to a new Win 7 computer and want to move only the photos to a dedicated 1 tb drive in the machine.  Anyone know Where my actual photos are stored on 'backup plus'?  Thank you

    Backed up Lightroom 2 to a Seagate 'backup plus'.  Will be installing Lightroom 5 to a new Win 7 computer and want to move only the photos to a dedicated 1 tb drive in the machine.  Anyone know where my actual photos are stored on 'backup plus'? Thank you

    Thank you for your reply.  I have been backing up my entire computer and when I follow anything having to do with Lightroom I am not finding actual photos.  I hope to find the photos that have been backed up along with updates to them that my wife has been performing during her edits.  Found Lightroom 2 catalog Previews/Lrdata.  Could that be it?

  • When I take a screenshot (command, shift, 4), I get an error: "you don't have permission to save files in the location where screenshots are stored". Help!

    I used to be able to take screenshots just fine.
    Now, when I try to take a screenshot (using command + shift + 4) I get an error stating that my screenshot cannot be saved, because I do not have permission to save where they are stored. HELP!

    If not running Lion, please do this:
    With the Finder active, press the following key combinations, in this order:
    Shift-Command-H
    Command-3
    Command-I
    The Info window for your home folder will open. Click the lock icon to authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you should have read & write access. If not, make it so. Regardless of whether you made any changes, select "Apply to enclosed items" from the action (gear icon) menu.
    If running Lion, do this:
    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if not already selected.

    It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
    The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
    Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.

  • Photos are stored on external disk

    Hi there! A number of my photos are stored on an external disk; is there a way to transfer/incorporate these photos into my library to avoid carrying the external drive around whenever using iPhoto? Thanks

    Do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.
    If you have a default managed library then simply import the photos into iphoto and they are thee - the source is not needed
    If you have a referenced Library then you can use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to rebuild it as a managed library (projects, slideshows and other items that are not sharable will not be in the new library)

  • Can't remove photos from album? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    Can't remove photos from  Aperture album unless I send them to Trash? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    There are only a few images that I want to delete, not entire albums. I want to avoid syncing the iPad with the new computer, but it's looking like that may be my only option...to delete all of the iTunes synced photos then start from scratch since I still have the original images on my backup drive. Maybe send them to myself in email/through dropbox and save that way so in the future I can delete at will.
    I just want to avoid all of that, save myself some time, so I figured I'd do as much asking as possible first.

  • Changing where iPhotos are stored

    I want to change where iPhotos are stored. My computer HD is getting full. How can I change to an external HD?

    1 - make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
    2 - drag your iPhoto Library package from the Pictures folder on your iMac to the EHD.
    3 - when the copying is done launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the next window select the library on the EHD.
    4 - once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all your photos you can delete the library from your Pictures folder.

  • I have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always?

    I am an amateur photographer and have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always? 

    If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
    If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

  • Can I controll where presets are stored?

    I can choose where the library and where my photos are stored. What aboat presets?
    I want to share this between two local users on the same computer...

    I don't think so, but you can use Sync Toy. You might try putting them in All Users.

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I want to tell you that I am very disappointed because I just read that in photo stream my photos are stored only for (30) thirty days.I didn't know that and I didn't have the time to save them on a device.
    I was robbed of mobile before (3) three days and I lost 2.000 photos!
    Is there any possibility to retrieve them?
    If it was possible that would be great as I would save them immediately to my computer instead of losing them again.
    Thank you for understanding
    Kind Regards

  • How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud?

    How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud? I haven't used Photo Stream before so there are no photos on there that I can see.
    Help needed ASAP.
    Thanks

    If you haven't used Photostream there won't be any photos "actually on iCloud".
    Any photos stored as part of an iOS device backup can be viewed on the iOS device after restoring the backup to the iOS device. They can't be viewed online.

  • How do i see what photos are stored in my icloud.  I cannot do this without installing 8.0 or above which i cannot do as i do not have enough space on my iphone.  I do not want to delete the pics to make enough room to install 8.0 without checking

    how do i see what photos are stored in my icloud.  I cannot do this without installing 8.0 or above which i cannot do as i do not have enough space on my iphone.  I do not want to delete the pics to make enough room to install 8.0 without checking first that the pics are saved.  Thanks

    Good day AMELIASARAH,
    One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
    If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Safe computing,
