Changing Library into Referenced Masters

A dumb new to Aperture mistake!
I had been establishing my Aperture Library as Masters on an external HDD referenced from the Aperture Library in Pictures on my internal HDD.
Unfortunately when I decided to import my iPhoto Library I was distracted by phone calls etc and was rushing and I managed to import it to the external HDD but as an entirely new Aperture Library and NOT referenced from the Aperture Library on my internal HDD.
How best to fix this? Can I simply change some setting s to make it referenced masters along side the photos I had first established as referenced masters or do I need to delete the photos on the external HDD and then reimport (the original iPhoto Library is fine and safely on another HDD). If so what settings should I make sure I have when choosing import parameters so that it all ends up as referenced masters?

Either way will work. You have a referenced Library on your internal HDD; the masters are in a folder on your external HDD.
When you imported your Iphoto library, you inadvertantly created a new managed library on your external HDD (the Mistake Library). The Mistake Library has your iPhoto masters inside of it.
So you can either relocate those masters to the masters folder on your external HDD (a quick process, as the files are not physically rewritten) and then import the Mistake Library (which is now a referenced library)into your main Library, as I described.
Or
just delete the Mistake Library and reimport the iPhoto Library into your main Library on the internal HDD, making sure that you specify the iPhoto masters are to go in the right place on the external HDD. This is what you described above.
Either will work. The first option is probably a bit quicker though. Your way is simpler.
Good luck

  • Import photos from SD Card into a library with referenced masters

    I have the following problem:
    I would like to migrate from Aperture (that I used for the past couple of years) to Photos for OS X. (Well, let's say I feel kind of forced to  by Apple's decision to abandon Aperture and since I do not like to switch to Lightroom (which I fear will soon be available via Adobe's Cloud system!)). I successfully migrated my Aperture library to Photos. My library is a 'referenced library', i.e. a library where the original photos ('masters') are NOT inside the library but stored in a separate location. In my case the original photos are stored on a NAS. Photos recognizes all my photos and by right-clicking on a photo I can select the 'Show in Finder' option and Photos correctly shows then the location of the corresponding photo on the NAS. So far so good.
    The  problem arises when I want to import new photos from the camera (or its SD card). I plugin the SD card into the Mac and fire up Photos. Then I click on 'Import'. I do not succeed in importing the photos from the SD card in a way that the original files (masters) are copied to the NAS (the place where I keep my masters). In fact when I import then everything (also the master files) are copied into the library (which is located on the Mac's internal SSD.) This happens despite I have deselected "Copy objects into photo library" in the Photos app Preferences.
    (Another problem is that, with Aperture, I could import photos from the SD card in a way that the originals were copied to the NAS, renamed appropriately (e.g. <date>-<time>.JPG and put automatically in an Aperture-created folder structure (year/month/day). I fear that the only way to keep on working with 'referenced' masters will be by NOT using Photos' Import function directly for the import from the SD card, but first to copy 'manually' (using the Finder) the photos from the SD card to the NAS (after having created year, month, day folders manually) and then to use Photos Import function. Is this really the sad truth?
    Another problem is: When I delete a photo from the library, it will NOT be deleted from the masters! :-(
    Has anybody experienced the same problems?
    Cheers

    The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
    Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
    “untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
    It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
    My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

  • Vault + Time Machine w/ Referenced Masters

    I know this general question has been asked several times, but I can't find a solution that matches my specific setup. I'm running Aperture off my MBP, so I have set up one external drive to hold my referenced masters. My internal drive has my aperture library with previews, etc. I also have one other external drive that is my dedicated Time Machine backup drive. How should I approach backing up? If I have Time Machine backup the aperture library and referenced masters, is there any advantage of adding a vault as well? Thanks for any help!

    Gerry,
    This ain't hard, just a bit complex.
    To answer you first question: At this point, a Vault is of little value; Time Machine does everything you need and does it automagically. (Unless you leave Aperture running all of the time.) Time Machine is much better if you use referenced masters as the Vault does not back them up.
    Time Machine is great as it creates images of your disk every hour - wonderful if you delete something by accident. People worry about filling their Time Machine disk. Don't. As long as your disk is large enough for one full back up the extra space only gets you time - that is you can go further back. For most of us, one month is all the history we will ever need. And when your disk fills, Time Machine diligently deletes the oldest data to assure that you always have a current backup. Nice.
    A clone, on the other hand, is just that, an exact (usually bootable) copy of your disk. Normally, when you update a clone it adds what you have added but it also deletes what you have deleted. Delete something by mistake two days ago and last night's backup will delete it as well. On the other hand, have your Mac die (as mine did, 3,000 miles from the nearest Apple Store) and you can plug your clone into any other Mac and you are good to go. Slick.
    Finally, off site is just that. What happens if your house burns or is robbed? You could lose your mac and all of your backups as well. There are many ways to do off site, from a hard disk that you sneaker net to your neighbor to a commercial service like Crashplan or Carbonite.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't import referenced masters into Library

    I've used referenced masters for years, since Aperture 1. Now I'm trying to import, and I get the error "Insufficient disk space". Here are the details
    OSX 10.7.5
    Aperture 3.4.1 (Just updated)
    Current RAW Folder                              110 GB
    Current Aperture Library                         9.9GB
    Free space on startup disk                    13.3 GB   (not a lot, I know)
    Space required (according to aperture)     3 GB
    Folder I'm trying to import                         19.4 GB
    Camera Nikon D7000, files NEF format. No previous problem with this camera.
    If 100GB can be represented by 9.9 GB in the Aperture library, why does it want 16.3 GB to import 19.4 GB?
    I have "Store files in their current location" selected in the Import pane.

    Gil I think there are a couple of basics you need to come to grips with.
    Assuming your Aperture library is on your start up disk and that you only have 13GB free, DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS DRIVE, until you clear out some space adding more files to this drive is only asking for trouble.
    So Aperture.
    100GB is represented by 9.9GB, yes, Aperture has created previews of the referenced files and has a database to describe them = 9.9GB, 100GB of master files/images still reside on the other drive though.
    The folder of files you are trying to import, 19.4 GB, you say you are now using a managed file workflow, that being the case Aperture now copies the files into the library, so there is no way that 19.4GB will fit into 13.3GB, plus there will then be an additional 1-2GB, based on 110GB=9GB, of space required by Aperture.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Moving forward, get youself two external drives, have you library, managed or not, along with any referenced files on one drive, the other drive use for your back up.

  • How can I move my old iPhoto library into a Referenced Library format and use that as my default?

    Hi, I have been using iPhoto for photo management where all the jpegs have been living, in organized events by date and subject for some time. I recently upgraded to aperture and am using the same iPhoto library. The issue I have is that I use Carbonite for my cloud back up and I am able to look at the pictures I have on my PC with the same folder organization I have them on my PC hard drive. This is apparently not possible for iPhoto library. The only way to access a picture on the iPhoto library in the cloud is to go through the master and hope you can find the specific picture since they are not organized in a comprehensible manner (like events or folders) in there.
    So the only solution I can think of is to move the current iPhoto library to a referenced image library and use that as my default library from now on. This way I get cloud access and the events will hopefully turn into folders with dates and subjects that I can continue to keep organized to satisfy my OCD tendencies.
    So the question I have is that:
    1. How can I make a reference Library for Aperture/iPhoto?
    2. How do I move the current library to the Referenced Library in an Organized manner? My wish list would be a series of folders labeled with the date and the subject, like I have in my iPhoto library right now.
    3. If there is any alternative, your suggestions and recommendations would be much appreciated.
    My computer: Mac Mini (Mid 2012), Lion, 16GB RAM.
    Thank you kindly,

    Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
    you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library.  As Terence Devlin said:
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What you should set up:
    Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
    Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
    Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
    Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

  • Changed disks in my RAID, Aperture lost all referenced masters.

    I have a G-Speed eS RAID system. I had 4 X 1TB disks.
    I decided to change the hard disks to 2TB ones to double my storage capacity.
    I retained the same volume name. I backed up the 2.5TB of data to 3 other disks and then copied it back to my upgraded RAID.
    So I have a completely identical file structure. My photos were in /Volumes/GS/photo, and this is where they are now. However Aperture lost all connections to the 35000 referenced files.
    It seems that there is no way to tell Aperture that old /Volumes/GS and new /Volumes/GS is the same location from my point of view (is your point of view different?). This means I have to reconnect each one of the 100+ projects manually. I DO NOT LIKE THAT. Am I missing something, or is this a nasty oversight? Don't tell me that this is a "feature" and one can only move REFERENCED masters from within Aperture...
    Note: Repairing or rebuilding the library does not help.

    Your suggestion works, but
    1) You have to first select all photos in the "photos" smart album. If you do select them all, "Reconnect All" will not work.
    2) Most important, after reconnecting, I also told Aperture to rebuild my library. And it lost them again... The photos got connected to a <null> named drive which is shown as offline.
    We are talking about a big deficit of reliability here...
    I had a backup of my Aperture Library. So I reconnected the files again, without a Library rebuild this time.
    But what if I need to rebuild my library in the future?? I AM SCARED...
    No need to mention that I have lost all day moving around many gigabytes of data, reconnecting files, etc etc. This is hardly a productivity boost.
    The worst part is that I like a lot the Aperture UI and I hate the alternative.
    But Aperture is unfortunately unreliable.
    Just play enough time with the loupe on my MacPro and the application will crash.

  • Masters in Library vs Referenced files

    As I play around more with Aperture today I have another question this time regarding files. What are the pro's/con's of importing masters into the library vs referencing files in the library. I am leaning towards importing masters into Aperture rather than reference because 1)makes it easier to manage photos; 2)easier to backup photo's.
    Those that have used Aperture for sometime what method do you use - masters in the library or reference? What are the reasons?
    If I have my/a library stored on the external drive what issues will I have if the external drive is not connected to the Macbook?

    all you really need to know ...
    http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/ref/index.html
    i also highly suggest that you get this book:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Aperture-1-5/dp/0321496620
    it is a tutorial, not a manual ... that is where the value is ...
    i personally use a managed library ... why, i like the clean neatness of the package ... and sticking them in a package does not worry me at all ... i have several vaults that i keep around ...
    with referenced to work on a external you need to make sure that your external is connected ... browse thru this forum and notice how many issues with ref'd images not reconnecting ... to me managed is easier ... but to others, not so much ...

  • How can I change my partially referenced library to entirely managed?

    Hello,
    When I first got my MacBook four years ago, I started a referenced iPhoto library of about 4,500 photos, but over the following years I added my photos directly to iPhoto, meaning 75% of the library is referenced and 25% is managed.
    How can I modify my library so that it is 100% managed? I would just open up iPhoto with ⌘+⌥ held down and choose rebuild library but I don't know if that will delete any or all of my library.
    Thanks in advance!

    There really is no way to do this with iPhoto.
    Your options are:
    1. Hack the SQL database
    2. Use Aperture's Consolidate Masters command
    3. Rebuild the Library with iPhoto Library Manager: (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.

  • Referenced masters or library on external drive?

    My Aperture library with managed masters has outgrown my macbook pro. Is it better to switch to referenced masters on an external drive or move the whole library to an external drive and continue with managed files?
    thoughts on this, please...

    Matthew Bergsma wrote:
    Keeping your library on one drive and your masters on another has noticeable speed benefits.
    I totally agree with that.
    I store my files on a ReadyNas Duo that mirrors the images using two hard drives. Gives you some protection when a hard drive dies.

  • New user - managed or referenced masters?

    I finally jumped and bought Aperture after having outgrown iPhoto and gone through the Ap2 and Lr demos.
    Now begins the process of migrating my current and old photos into Aperture.
    Right now I've got less than 15k photos. I have an organization scheme in mind, but I'm looking for advice as to whether I should go managed or referenced.
    I realize that this isn't an all or nothing decision (it is really a project setting), and that I can change my mind later if necessary.
    Managed:
    + simple
    + vaults backup images and Ap-specific data
    - doesn't play well with Time Machine
    Pros for referenced:
    + can span multiple drives
    + works well(better) with Time Machine
    + can easily share masters with other apps (I don't plan to)
    - vaults only backup Ap-specific data, not images
    Have I missed anything?
    Any recommendations?

    I prefer Referenced Masters even on a Mac Pro. IMO it makes for a clean backup workflow and a forever-logical organization. And Referencing Masters ensures that the size of the Library will always be small enough that it need not cause a hard drive to exceed 50% full and reduce speed.
    • Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
    • Eject CF.
    • Burn DVD copies of the original images.
    • Eject DVDs.
    • Import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
    • Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
    • Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
    Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.

  • Importing old pictures with wrong date stamp. After adjusting date they are landing in the correct folder of referenced masters.

    I was thrilled to learn that with Aperture I could have one big library and using referenced masters, I can organize the pictures by date so I know where everything is and can backup to the cloud.  I started importing really old photos that were taken with god knows what camera and the date is wrong.  Since I had all these in date structured folders I could make a best guess on the date - not needing it to be exact, just so it shows up close enough in projects and the original lands in the right folder for future use & backup. I have come to learn that changing the metadata is only referring to how Aperture sees it.  In other words, images that were taken on 10/31/04 are still landing in the referenced masters folder on the date the camera said.  I now understand that the metadata date is not the date Aperture needs fixed.  Is the best way to fix this to delete the images from Aperture, find some tool that will adjust to the approximate real date, then reimport.  If so, can someone recommend a utility that does this? If I can fix this inside of Aperture, even better.  I saw on one of the discussions: "it's all about the Exif and IPTC and not about the file metatata."  Please feel free to learn me on that.  Cheers.

    That answers some of it - the relocate files.  That will allow me to put the files in the right year/month folder.  I imported full folders into Aperture so need to edit the metadata date for multiple pictures at the same time.  I understand when you select multiple pictures and then ajust time, it adjusts in relation to the first picture.  In my case these things were taken by all sorts of crappy cameras & re-edited years later (2003 data).  So pictures taken on the same day have 2001, 2003 & 2007 dates. I really do just wnt to set all of them to the same (ballpark) date. 
    So my goals are:
    1) have the pictures land in the right referenced folder - answered
    2) do a mass adjust time to the same date for a folder of images
    3) have the projects then land chronologically inside Aperture - not sure about this one yet
    Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated.

  • Workflow for keeping referenced masters organized

    Hello, I'm coming to Aperture 3 having used LR for several years (after initially using Aperture 1). I love the feel and features of Aperture 3, but there's one thing I'm having a hard time with and that's working with referenced masters. I have a simple year>month folder structure on my HD for all digital images, and I'd like to keep it this way in case I ever decide to abandon Aperture again. My workflow for importing pictures into LR was to dump the card contents into an "Unsorted" folder, then to delete the ones I don't want, and drag the rest into the correct folders. I liked being able to do this in LR and have the contents of my hard drive reflect the folder structure within LR.
    I'm aware that Aperture is designed mainly to have the pictures in a library, but that really freaks me out for the long term, so I imported all my folders into A3 in the same structure they are on the HD. I have to be careful about rearranging pictures into different folders because sometimes I forget that they stay where they are on the HD!
    So I'm wondering, does anyone have a workflow suggestion for those of us who want to be able to organize images within A3, and have the Finder folder structure reflect that of A3? Manually relocating masters and then dragging the images to their new location in A3 is really tedious!
    Message was edited by: disconnekt

    Everyone on this thread is doing way too much manual work...
    There is a function in aperture for existing images under File->Relocate Masters that will automatically create a folder structure of your choosing for you. You can do this at anytime, and it is nearly impossible to screw it up, because you can always re-do it.
    In fact it is so powerful, It makes sense for people with unorganized Hard drives to just import everything in place, set up their projects and organize their masters in aperture, then use File->Relocate masters to cleanup the filesystem side of things.
    As far as importing new images, here is what you do:
    1. Create your project.
    2. Click Import.
    3. On the right side, change "store files in" from "in the aperture library" to a "root" folder of your choosing. Example: Mine is set to "Media HD/Raw Masters".
    4. Change the "subfolder" dropdown to either use one of the built in presets, or create one of your own. Example: Mine is set to "YYYY/Project Name". This is so I can easily view my master files by Year and then project name, so at the end of a year, I can easily archive these raw files and take them off my editing machine, but leave my library and projects all in tact.
    Why, oh why would you want to use the finder to do your selects when its so much fast in aperture? Why manually create folder structures when the computer can do it for you?
    The new aperture 3 import is even faster than photo mechanic, since it gives you almost immediate thumbnails to begin reviewing from the embedded JPGs in the raw files, while it copies the full masters in the background.
    If this answers your question, please mark it as solved - If you have more questions, email me at "matthew at (my username lowercase no spaces) dot com". I will send you a "stock" email I send people with screenshots if needed.

  • Use Referenced Masters To Avoid Accidentally Deleting A Master Image File

    If you use Managed images it is possible to delete the master file accidentally.  If you delete versions of an image using File -> Delete Version and the version you are deleting is the last remaining version for that image, Aperture 3 will delete both the version and the master image.  If you subsequently empty Aperture Trash and then System Trash that master image file is gone forever.  In Aperture 3 there is no warning that you are about to delete a master image. 
    A workaround (although a weak workaround) is to use Referenced Image Masters.  Then when you delete the last version which includes the master image from Aperture, you can uncheck the box "Move referenced file to system trash." and no master image file will be deleted.  The downside to this workaround is that when you really want to delete a master image file, it must be done via Finder.
    The best solution would be for Apple to fix this bug so that when you select "Delete Version" it only deletes the version image and reverts to the master image.  That way the master image can only be delete via the command "Delete Master Image and All Versions."

    There is no bug there.
    I had some trouble wrapping my mind around the file-Master-Version-Image-(Preview) complex that flows, sand-like, through the entire working of Aperture.  (I like a thing to be represented by itself and itself alone, and to exist in one place and one place alone.  I was comfortable with the seeming precision of the location-based "file+path" metaphor for the existence of these virtual things.  Aperture quite cleverly moves beyond that.)  Two things helped me move forward:
    - understanding the difference between Projects and Albums, and
    - separating my Library into a storage area and an output area.
    Projects are, for me, storage containers.  (I have said elsewhere that the mis-naming of "Projects" is the single worst interface decision made in Aperture.)  They have a privileged relationship with your Images:  every Image must "live" in a Project, and "lives" in only one Project.  It may help you to think of "Image+Project{Path}" as functionaly equivalent, within the Aperture Library, to the file directory "file+path" mentioned above.
    Albums are, for me, output containers.  I create Albums every time I know I will output a set of Images.
    In practice, I work on Images in each.  In general, I develop my digital captures in the Project that holds them (and I rigorously stick to "One Project = One shoot"), I create Versions and add them to Albums as needed for output (they are automatically made the Album Pick), and I tweak them for output and then output them from Albums.
    You may be wondering (if you've read this far) -- "What has this got to do with deleting Masters?"  A lot.  Note the difference in the context-menu between a Version in a Project and a Version in an Album.  The menu for the Album contains two delete commands: "Delete Version", and "Remove from Album".  The Versions live in Projects, and only visit Albums.  As Terence correctly points out, if you delete the last Version, your expectation should be that you are deleting that Image from your Library.  My suggestion is that you adopt something similar to what I've set up, and delete Versions from ONLY Projects (never from Albums).  This way you will never unknowingly delete the last Version (because Images can be in only one Project, and if you delete the last Version from that Project you know you are expunging that Image from your Library).

  • Aperture thinks a project has offline referenced masters - but it doesn't!

    I've just been consolidating two Aperture libraries by exporting projects from one library and importing them into another. For the most part this has gone smoothly, but in one project all the images have the little badge with the red slash through it, to indicate that the referenced masters are offline.
    But they're not! The project itself is 2.2 GB - so all the photos are actually in it - and when I click 'consolidate masters' for that project, Aperture tells me there are no referenced masters for this project. For every image that's missing a master (if that makes sense) there's a version that's NOT missing a master. So the data's there and I can work with the image - I'm just a bit worried about making radical moves without knowing exactly what's going on
    I've tried deleting the project and reimporting it, but to no avail - also, when I delete the project, it tells me referenced masters are offline and can't be moved to the trash.

  • IPhoto library into Aperture 3

    I am currently importing my iPhoto 9 library into Aperture 3. When I pressed import, i was told it would take up 75gb of disc space, so I assume it is creating a duplicate of my iPhoto library.
    So, I dont really want the two libraries, so can I delete ( or rather move to an external hard drive the original iphoto library?
    Will I lose any data or does Aperture create a whole new library?
    Allan

    Allan,
    When you import the default will probably be to store the photos in Aperture's library. This will make a copy of your photos and is called "Managed masters" in Aperture. As long as this what happens when you import, you will then definitely have 2 of each photo that you imported. It's not going to duplicate your iPhoto library per se (the library is a database that contains all the pictures and other goodies). Rather, it will copy each photo from your iPhoto library into a new library (the Aperture one).
    You can also have Aperture use "Referenced" masters, by doing what gordonbmac indicated. In this case, Aperture does not manage the location of your masters. They will be wherever iPhoto has them. This may or may not be good depending on what you are going to do with your iPhoto library after. I.e., if you play with iPhoto and rearrange things, Aperture doesn't know that you moved the masters that it points to. It may mean that you will have to keep your iPhoto library around because Aperture is pointing to photos in it.
    Your plan to move the iPhoto library to an external hard drive is exactly what I did when I imported my iPhoto library into Aperture. I kept it around for quite a while until I was satisfied that I didn't accidentally leave something in there that I didn't import into Aperture.
