Can i retrive lost edited photos in apature?

Please help! I imported photos from a memory card to aperture. When asked if I wanted to delete the photos off my memory card I said no. I then spent several hours editing those photos. I then pulled the memory card out, took more photos, uploaded them and edited them. I did this several times, always choosing not to clear my memory card when asked. Today, when asked if I waold like to delete photos off the memory card I hit yes. I have now lost all of my edited images. The original are still there but every edited images is gone.
Does anyone know why this happend and is there any way to retrieve the edited images.
THank you for your help!

Thank you for your reply leonieDF.
The original, un-edited Photos are there under receintly imported project. Also, I made a seperate folder for each project I was working on. Those folder contained edited photos but now all of the edits are gone and every image is restored to the original image.
The setting in the "Import" panel are set to "in apature library"
So you imported into the library, and browsing only shows the original version. Something must have changed the way you are viewing your images.  When you reopened Aperture, was there a warning that the Aperture library needs repairing?
Those folder contained edited photos but now all of the edits are gone and every image is restored to the original image.
Have enabled version stacks, so that your edited versions may be stacked behind the original versions?
How are you telling that you are viewing the originals? When you look at the Adjustment tab of Inspector, are all checkmarks for adjustments cleared and no longer set?
Have you accidentally pressed the "M" key? When you do that in the Browser, Aperture will show the originals instead of the edited image.

  • How can I make the edited photo appear in my folder?

    Hi! This is my first post here, and I've just acquired Lightroom after having worked with ACDSee Pro (currently v6) for some years. I love taking photos and editing them later if necessary.
    I understand that LR works differently to ACDSee, with the catalogue and all, and I've successfully imported my picture folders into my new LR catalogue. What I haven't yet been able to grasp is what LR does with my edited photos. When I edit (develop) a picture in ACDSee, the edited version of that photo appears in my original folder as soon as I have finished editing it.
    With LR, after having done my processing all I can see in my folder is the original, unedited picture. The edits are only visible in LR, but not anywhere else. I'd like to see the edited photo in my folder so that I can use it, for example, for screen saver slide shows. I don't want to go and look for this edited picture in any place other than its original folder, and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder. All I care for at this point is the edited version since the original can be restored at any time from within LR, or at least I think this how it should be since that's how I did it with ACDSee if I wanted to go back to the original picture.
    Is there any way I can achieve what I'm looking for with LR?
    Thank you very much for your assistance for a total LR beginner.

    I don't think this is possible, given the normal way Lightroom works. You have the original (the image contained in this file is never modified by Lightroom) and you will have the export.
    Note: you could instruct Lightroom to overwrite your original (if it was a JPG or TIF or PSD, but not a RAW), however this is extremely discouraged and your original would be gone. Your assumption "since the original can be restored at any time from within LR" is incorrect, that is not how Lightroom works if you overwrite the original JPG TIF or PSD (which of course is just one of several reasons why this approach is extremely discouraged).

  • Can't find my edited photo in iphoto

    I changed my editing in iphoto to automatically use adobe photoshop elements. I then edited a picture and saved it as a new picture but I can't find it in iphoto. I can find it in my finder and it says it is in a modified folder - can you access this folder in iphoto?

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

  • Can i restore lost unbacked photos?

    Whilst updating my iPhone 5, the updating failed and I lost my photos which were not backed up. Any chance of retrieving those lost unbacked photos?

    Sorry but no if you are sure you don't have a backup via either iTunes or iCloud. For future use, iCloud backup is pretty painless as it will happen automatically when the phone is on, locked, and connected to power. More information: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    I would also strongly recommend that you periodically either import photos to a computer iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer or use some other service such as Flickr where you can see the photos in a second location, in addition to the above backup.

  • How can I access my edited photos from an old hard drive?

    Hello everyone,
    I am dying for your help please! My external hard drive crashed and this was the source for the import of all of my photos into lightroom. Luckily I managed to recover files from my hard drive and move to a new one but the old hard drive is busted! Because this was the location where the photos were stored when I imported them into lightroom I can not see the photos in the catalogues I had in lightroom anymore. I had edited these photos and I have nearly 22,000 photos!! I really don't want to edit them all again! Does anyone know how I can re-direct the location or salvage any time here please????

    It's your PC that needs to be authorized, not the iPods. If you didn't authorize your old PC before it crashed, you have lost one of the 5 authroizations, but I wouldn't worry about it - once you reach 5 authroizations you can deauthorize all, once per year.

    I don't understand this part of your question.

  • IPhoto can't locate saved edited photos even though the thumbnails show up?

    Hoping to find out what's the issue here!
    After updating iPhoto '11 to 9.1.1 and upgrading my library, I edited some photos today only to discover that whilst the thumbnails were still there for these photos, whenever I clicked on them to enlarge the photo, I got a warning sign instead.
    Please see the following screencaps:
    The photo I already edited and select in order to enlarge...
    ...but all I get is this, now, for some reason?
    What am I doing wrong? Please help, it's really frustrating!
    Didn't have this issue before upgrading/updating, so....

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

  • Can Premiere Elements 10 edit Photos?

    I just have a quick question. Can Photoshop Premiere Elements 10 be used for photo editing, or is it just for video editing?
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Welcome to the forum.
    The image editing capabilities of PrElements are extremely limited, and mainly revolve around some Scaling of Still Images, a bit of Vector Art placement, in Titler, very, very light compositing, and then some Effects, that can be applied to Still Images in the Timeline.
    For any real image editing, one will want an image editing program, like PS, or PSE.
    Good luck,

  • Can i access and edit photos direct from finder rather than import and duplicate in iphoto?

    Hi, I have tens of thousands of photos so would rather not duplicate them in two places and eat into my storage. Is it possible to access photos saved in My Pictures direct from iPhoto without having to import them directly (and therefore duplicate them) into iPhoto? Any help appreciated! Thank you

    Yes but you don't want to.
    It's called running a Referenced Library and you can read about the issues and pitfalls in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
    Frankly the better way to work is to import them to iPhoto and let iPhoto copy the files. Live and work with it for a while and when you're content trash your pre-existing filing system - it's of no use to you any way. If you use iPhoto (or similar apps, like Aperture, Lightroom etc) you access the photos via those apps and not the Finder - the point of using a Photo Manager after all.
    If you have a folder tree or pre-existing organisation structure you can recreate it quite quickly in iPhoto. For instance:
    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.

  • Can't find my edited photos after saving them

    I have been using Elements 5.0 and recently I'm having a problem with the photos that I edit, (using the Photo Editor), not showing up in the folder I designate for them in Save As.  Am I missing a setting that in my Organizer???

    Its quite unusual. Try resetting editor preferences. Follow these steps
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

  • How can I import and edit photos on my laptop and synch with PS Elements?

    I have my Photoshop elements library on my desktop. Can Lightroom help with this, or do I need to update to Creative Cloud with Photoshop?

    If you have Elements only, your best choice would be to store your image library as well as your catalog on an external drive and plug the EHD alternatively to both computers. Be sure the EHD is recognized with the same drive letter on both computers. Ask if you need help for that solution.
    Lightroom offers other powerful solutions, you don't need the Cloud version with Photoshop.

  • How can I avoid having to save edited photos to desktop?

    I use iPhoto '09 for organizing my photos and Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac for editing my photos, most of which are JPEGs. My procedure is to make a duplicate of the photo I wish to edit and then hand it off to PSE 6 for editing via the Edit in External Editor option.
    I notice a strange phenomenon when saving my photos after editing them. Sometimes the photos can be saved directly to the same folder in which the unedited duplicate version resides (my preference), but more often I have to save the edited version to my desktop and then import it into my iPhoto program. I have not been able to discern a reason why I need to save the edited images to my desktop. The system seems arbitrary in this regard. I don't recall having this issue to deal with when I used iPhoto '06 and PSE 4 for Mac. I would appreciate somebody explaining this phenomenon and indicate how I can consistently save an edited photo directly to the folder in which the unedited version resides instead of having to save it to my desktop and then import it into iPhoto.
    For your information I use iPhoto Library Manager.
    Bob

    A simple rule of thumb is: if the file format of the edited photo does not change due to the editing the file is saved to the Modified folder and viewed by iPhoto as if iPhoto did the editing. If the editing requires a format change, i.e. from jpg to psd then the new file must be saved to the desktop and imported as a new photo. The following expands on that:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

  • How can I mkae a simple photo edit on premiere elements 12 without using the video feature?

    I was told when I spent $1000+ on my HP and all the software that I would have what I needed to edit photos and/or edit videos. I am a yoga teacher so I am posting my classes online as videos, as podcasts, and I also need to edit some of my personal photos to use for marketing material. I can see where I edit photos for a video and incorporate them in that said video but Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.

    yogawithlexi,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.
    For editing photos, to be output to the printed page (whether by a commercial printing service, or a desktop printer), I strongly recommend Photoshop Elements (PsE).
    If you need to output to a video file, then Premiere Elements (PrE) can possibly do what you want, but not for the printed page - at least not easily, and with the ultimate results. First, Video is not dependent on DPI/LPI (Dots Per Inch, or Lines Per Inch), where printed material will be. Also, while PrE can output a Still Image, the quality, when printed, will be far less, than what one can obtain with PsE.
    Do you currently have Photoshop Elements on your computer, or only Premiere Elements?
    Good luck,

  • Under "show package contents," where can I find edited photos from Photos app?

    Hi everyone!
    I'm getting used to the new Photos app on Mac. In the Finder, under "Show Package Contents" (from the Photos library) I am able to see a folder titled "Masters" which has all of the original photos that I import into the Photos library.
    I edited some of these photos in the Photos app, and put them into an album. Where, under "Show Package Contents" can I find the edited photos in this album? I looked in all the subfolders but can't seem to find them.
    Thanks in advance.
