Can I duplicate my Aperture library so I can use one to import into new Photos app?

Hi, I'm using latest version of Aperture and Yosemite. I'd like to try the new photos app but still be able to use Aperture. Can I duplicate the library and just use the copy to do so? Or is there another way that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance.

  • How do I fix orientation of photos after they were changed after importing iPhoto library into new Photo app in Yosemite?

    When I switched over to the new Photos app in Yosemite v10.10.3 and imported my iPhoto library to it, random photos in my library had their orientation changed. Some are upside down and some are turned on their side. I have a huge photo library, so this is frustrating. Hoping I don't have to go in and fix each one. I tried rebuilding my library by lauching Photo holding down option+command, but that didn't fix anything. Please help! Mahalo!

    You do not have duplicate albums or photos.
    Photo Stream
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
    The Camera Roll is for photos/videos that were captured by your iPhone, and for a photo saved from a received email, MMS, or from a website. These photos are also placed in the Photo Stream to be synced with your computer and/or with another iOS 5 device. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the folders or albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in a particular folder or album below only by selecting the folder or album, or you can view all photos in all folders or albums be selecting Photo Library.
    This cannot be changed.
    Removing photos or folders/albums of photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your computer via the Tunes process is done in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.

  • Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?    Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud?

    I have 2 questions about the new Photos app for Mac (I'm running 10.10.3 on my MacBook Air 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 mid 2012)):
    1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
    2. Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud?  That would free 59GB off my Mac and that would be very good.

    1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
    You can, but I would wait, until you have have been working with Photos for some time and are sure, that everything migrated well. There may be hidden flaws in your library and teething problems with Photos. Don't be in a hurry to abandon iPhoto completely. You may need to go back, until bugs have been fixed.  Th Photos Library does not duplicate the photos in your iPhoto Library. the media files are shared and do not need extra space: See:  Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    2. Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud?  That would free 59GB off my Mac and that would be very good.
    If you have enough iCloud storage.  But Photos will still need space for local thumbnails on all devices.
    See:  Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
    Fill your library, not your device.
    iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.

  • Will Aperture support new Photo app's library?

    New Photo app (comes with OS X 10.10.3 beta) has changed iPhoto library name and structure, since Aperture uses the same photo library as iPhoto uses, does that mean Aperture will no longer work when OS X 10.10.3 is officially released to public?
    Will existing Aperture's filters be compatible with new Photo app's editing function?

    You can open the versions with the filename extensions "migratedphotolibrary", e,g, iPhoto Library iPhoto.migratedphotolibrary.
    While you are experimenting, make sure the filename extensions will show for all your photo libraries, so you know which version you are dealing with.
    If you try to browse the main "Photos.library" in Aperture or iPhoto, those applications will simply open the last library they could open, and if you have deleted this library, Aperture or iPhoto will come up empty.

  • Is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

    is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

    Not really.  You should not be sharing an Aperture library over a network.  It's not designed for that and you'll likely corrupt your library at some point.

  • Can't open existing library with new photos app on iMac 10.10.3

    I have upgraded my iMac to yosemite 10.10.3, with the new Photos app. I have been using iPhoto Library Manager to create and manage my libraries, which I store on an external hard drive.
    Now, with the upgrade and new Photos app, some libraries open and I can access my photos without a problem, but other libraries don't seem to open. Instead, I get the new Photos windows with the demo slideshow, etc.  I'm worried that the photos within the libraries I'm unable to open are now gone.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

    How is the EHD formatted?
    If the external hard drive is not formatted OS X Extended (journaled) Photos will not be able to open them.  Actually iPhoto requires the volume to be formatted that way also but doesn't check the format before opening.  Many users have been able to operated on EHDs that were not formatted properly for a while but eventually ended up with a damage/corrupted library. 

  • Can I use the new Photos app with Lightroom?

    I have been a user of Aperture but with the new Photos app I can no longer do that.  Will Lightroom work with the new Photos app?  I want better editing tools than Photos offers.

    No, Lightroom and Photos cannot share a Library. They are both Photo Managers (neither is actually an editor) with non-destructive processing. The only way to get from one to another is to export to the Finder then import to the second app. It's hard to see a workflow that encompasses both apps.
    Really you need to decide which app you want to use to manage your Photos: Photos is a free app geared at the consumer with a phone or point and shoot. Lightroom is geared for the serious hobbyist or Pro with a DSLR, Which photographer are you? Best to pick one horse and ride it.   

  • After downloading the update I can't get the new photos app to appear in my photo browser when trying to add a photo in excel.

    After I downloaded the new update the new photo app will not appear in my photo browser list when I try to insert a picture in my excel document.  How can I add the new photo app to my browser list?

    If Preview and Mail’s media browser don’t work, Gary, can you export all the pictures from the new iPhoto package back to folders and use an earlier copy of iPhoto such as 8.1.2?
    I have both versions on my system so it may be the Mail and Preview media browsers are not accessing the new iPhoto package.  I thought they were the new version but maybe not; I see a single iPhoto Library icon and when I control-click on it it offers to show the package contents...

  • With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

    With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto.  For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include.  Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP.  So, I have to go through the export process.  It is tedious.  What am I missing?  Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • IPhoto Library and new Photos app

    What happens to the iPhoto Library when the new Photos app comes along?  Does it automatically get uploaded to iCloud?  I have 34 g/bytes of photos.

    Only 34 gigs?
    I can see no way that you will be forced to upload everything to the Cloud. It simply makes no sense for those with hundreds and hundreds of gigs of photos.

  • Move Location of New Photos App Library

    I migrated my Aperture library into the new photos app, and elected to put all my photos into iCloud Photo. The old Aperture library lived on an external HD and when I open the new Photos app without that HD plugged in, it says it cannot find the library. Why am I getting this error message if everything is in iCloud?
    How do I change the "library location"? I still want a local copy on an external drive, but if everything is in iCloud, shouldn't the actual location of the library not matter?

    That's not how it works, Photos still needs access to your library, Photos puts photos in the cloud but that's not what you see when you open photos, you see the photos stored locally, if they aren't there it won't work.

  • Unable to open Photo library from new Photo App

    When I try to open the new Photos App I get the following message "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions..." I have tried the solution suggested be Apple using Terminal but that does not work. Help please

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the iPhoto library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How do I set upmy Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time.  I can use one or the other, but not both.

    how do I set up my Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time.  I can use one or the other, but not both.  From systems Preferences I must select one or the other.  I want both to work all the time.

    Hi,
    I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
    1. DS: 0FI_AP_4  replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
    2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
    3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
    4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Import from photo stream into Lightroom 5.7 - how can I import only new photos since first import of all photos in stream (mac)

    Hi
    Importing my photos from photo stream (mac) went well, got 2012 photos out of my photo stream into LR 5.7 with the help of the new plug-in.
    Now I have 3 new photo's in the stream and I want to add them to the library of LR.
    When starting up the plug-in it tells me it will import 2015 photos, instead of just 3.
    I hesitate to continue the process and to try my luck as I'm afraid I will end up with more than all 2012 photos doubled.
    Any experience out there yet?
    Thanks!
    Kind regards
    Jan

    Found it.
    At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
    Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
    Thanks.

  • I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app.  I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind.  I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.

    I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app.  I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind.  I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.  I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library.  I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it.  Please help!

    Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
    From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
    Select Library from the drop down menu
    Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
    Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
    Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
    Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
    Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
    Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
    Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
    iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.
