Aperture stores photos, how?

I'm wondering if I have a set of say 2000+ photos that are rather high resolution, if loading up Aperture will create a "library" or "catalog" of those photos?
If so, this would mean that it would double the disk space usage for each photo; the copy taking up the same disk space as the original file.
I believe this behavior is how iPhoto handles things with image files already on the computer's hard drive (verses those directly imported into iPhoto from a camera or memory card).

If you look at the import pane (you have installed the trial, right?) you will see a 'Store Files:' drop-down menu.
'In the Aperture Library' will do what you describe, copying images into the Library package.
'In their current location' will reference them where they are, no copying involved.
If you pick another location then the images will again be referenced, but you have the option of either moving them or copying them.
Note that you can move between referenced (outside the Library package) and managed (stored in the Library) at any time later on, for any number of images.

  • Difference between iPhoto and Aperture and photo storage

    I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Aperture but I'm a little confused about the differences in the way photo edits are handled. The iPhoto to Aperture page says that Aperture stores photo changes in one photo rather than duplicating them, therefore taking up less space. BUT they also use a unified shared library. So how is it possible for Aperture to handle edits differently if the library is now shared between the two applications?

    Aperture may save you some space if you choose not to generate previews, but then you won't be able to integrate with other apps.
    As Terence Devlin says. But being able to manage the Previews is quite a space saver. In Aperture you can selectively generate previews only for the photos that you want to share with other applications, and you can specify the size and quality of the previews you want. iPhoto on the other hand will always create previews for all photos, and all in very high quality. In Aperture I delete previews for redundant photos and keep the previews only for my highest ratest photos that I am likely to share with other applications and want to use as a screensaver or slideshow.
    If you share your photo library between Aperture and iPhoto and edit a photo in iPhoto, then iPhoto will add a preview for this photo, even if you disabled previews in Aperture.

  • I need simple advice as to how to transfer/store photos from my iPhone 4 to iCloud to free up memory on my phone.

    Hi....I have 1400 odd photos on my iPhone 4 and am running out of memory so I bought extra storage (25GB) on iCloud which I have set up to use.  However I'm not familiar with how iCloud works and I don't synch my iPhone with a computer but I want the comfort of knowing that when I transfer the photos to iCloud they are there and need to know how to access them again if/when I want to.
    I have looked at the Photos & Camera section in General Settings but really have no idea what Camera Roll, Photo Library or Photo Stream refer to.    I take photos as and when the mood strikes me, don't share them with anyone and only want to retain them for future reference as and when I feel like it.
    Which leads me to my queries:
    1. How do I transfer the photos to iCloud?
    2. Can I open folders to seperate different batches of photos in iCloud?
    2. When I have done this is it safe to delete the photos from my iPhone?
    3. If so how do I delete them all in one go?
    4. How do I access the photos again from iCloud?
    Please keep the answers/ instructions simple/idiot proof as no doubt you will have surmised by now that the nature of my queries is indicative of my limited knowledge as to exactly what can be done with my iPhone!!!!

    iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage).  iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll.  But that's pretty much it.
    Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source).  Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good.  The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
    So, your questions..
    1) You don't/can't
    2) No, because of 1.
    3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless.  not so on a device.
    4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud.  You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

  • HT4007 Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

    Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

    As you can see from all the replies to your question if you are not clear in describing the situation it is very difficult to try and help you.
    So first how did you originally purchase Aperture? App Store, DVD or Unlocked Trial version.
    If you purchased it from the App store if you log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture then you will be able to install it on other systems besides the one you originally installed it on. Even though the button says Purchase you will not be charged again as lolongnd as this is the same Apple ID you used the first time.
    If you installed from DVD or Trail unlock post back.

    I replaced my iPad with a new one. I backed up to iCloud but did not do a physical iTune Sync. Now I am having trouble recovering some Notes and Photos. I have been reinstalling Apps from the App Store. How do I recover my Notes?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • How to email Aperture library photos from iPhoto

    Want to use Aperture library photos (which I can easily view from iPhoto 11) in the beautiful email systems of iPhoto. When I select the Aperture library photos and select Share-email nothing happens, then the Share-email menu becomes grayed out. According to the help available all aperture library shots are fully available for use in iPhoto 11. Any suggestions? Thanks

    You hav to move the photos from Aperture to iPhoto to do this.
    1. Using the Media Browser you can drag from the browser to the iPhoto Window - this yields the Aperture Previews
    2. Export from Aperture to the Finder, import to iPhoto.
    That said if you use Apple's Mail.app you can
    A: Take advantage of the Stationery feature, which has more templates than iPhoto, more varied thatn iPhoto and others can be downloaded
    B: It's a full mail application, with an outbox and so on
    C: You can email from Aperture, and so avoid this loop into iPhoto.

  • How can I store photos already taken in iCloud?

    Can you only store photos taken after you set a photo stream? Or can I store all of my pictures?

    You would only need extra iCloud space if you need the space for large backups, or backups of multiple iOS devices, or if you save lots of iCloud email with large attachments, or store lots of iWork documents, etc.
    You can store your photos using a different cloud service such as Dropbox, or any of the numerous photo hosting services such as Flikr, Picassa, Smugmug, etc.  Music purchased from sources other than the iTunes store has to be kept in your iTunes library on your computer if you want to be able to access it on your iOS devices.

  • Can i store photos in icloud

    can I store photos in iclaoud and how?

    Don't use icloud to store photos, it's primarily for syncing photos.
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. 
    If you want to put photos on icloud for others to see, then...
    There are two ways to present photos on iCloud:  a shared photo stream and photo journals that lets you share photos with others...

    In the iOS version of iPhoto there are photo journals.

  • Where best to store photos

    I recently migrated from PC to Mac and am delighted with the Mac experience. However, my photos now seem to be scattered in different places. If I look in the Finder, some are in the "Pictures" folder and others in the "My Photos" folder.
    When I first migrated I used iPhoto but have since bought Aperture for the added functionality and flexibility. So my iPhoto library has now been imported/duplicated into Aperture.
    All in all It's a right old mess and, I suspect, entirely my fault! My first question: is there an ideal central location in which to store and organise photos on a Mac - and from which they can be backed-up to a Time Machine? My second question is; how do I go about deleting/removing all the duplicate photos?

    I don't know how aperture stores the photos, but I assume it is similar to iPhoto in that it imports them into a centralized location.
    Your "My Photos" folder is not a Mac item. It likely came along with your transfer from your PC. The Pictures folder would be the normal folder to place them into if you don't want to use Aperture's method.

  • Can I use iCloud to store photos I want to delete from my iPhone 5s?

    Good day.
    I want to free up space on my 16G iPhone 5s.  All of my photos are stored on iCloud, however, when I delete a photo from my iPhone 5s, it also deletes in iCloud.  Is there a way to use iCloud as a way to store photos that I don't want on my iPhone any longer, but I want to save?
    Note:  The photos on my iPhone 5s are all on iPhoto on my iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.  I have not opened the "photos" app which appeared on the doc when the system upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 as I'm not sure how this will affect the whole "delete from my iPhone, but keep in iCloud" dilemma. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    C. Gray

    iCloud isn't designed as a cloud-only storage method. The closest you can get is to change a setting to optimize storage on your iPhone so that a smaller "device-size version" is kept on your phone. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
    If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.
