Delete versions from Projects

I'm pretty new to Aperture and probably started importing files prematurely. I have many Projects that I'd like to thin out, but can't delete a version from the Project without deleting it from an album as well. Is there a way to safely remove photos from a Project only?
Thanks,
John Willetts

John,
The Project is the basic container in Aperture. An album is merely a place that points to pictures in a project. Your question is akin to this: "in my county library, I want to throw away a book from the shelf, but still be able to get to the book by going to the card catalog."
So, the answer to your question is "no." Delete a picture from a project, and you are removing it from where it is stored. Photos are stored in exactly 1 project, but can be referenced from as many albums as you want.
Can you be more specific about your goal? Someone might be able to give some better advice knowing what you are trying to accomplish.
The following page from the Aperture user manual is a good place to start understanding the topics you are wondering about:

  • Deleting versions from external editor

    I am sure this question has come up before, but I cannot seem to find it in a forum search.
    I have my original RAW in Aperture. I use the "Open with external editor" command, make changes in PhotoShop and save. Aperture now has the "original" RAW and the "altered" PS file.
    However, now I decide that I don't like the PS edits and want to delete that file. When I select is and choose "delete version" I get a dialog stating that a master will be deleted and there is no undo. If I allow the delete, the PS version and the original RAW are both trashed. I want to keep the RAW and delete the "altered" PS version.
    What am I doing wrong and is there any way around this?

    Yes, it should only delete the edited version if you have the edited version and only the edited version selected and not as just the main selection with the others in the stack selected. It should also delete any versions made from the edited master, but should leave the original master and it's versions intact.
    I just tested this on my system and it did as expected.
    Just take a sample image and import it with the sole intention of opening with the external editor and then selecting just the externally edited and deleting it. I know you're sure you had just the edited master selected, but are you sure sure?

    Select your Music Track so that a yellow border is around it. Then hit the Delete Key. Alternatively, hit EDIT/DELETE SELECTION.

  • Delete pictures from project screen?

    Hi all. I loaded some pics into a new project to practice with. I have deleted the pics, but they still show on my screen in new project. How do I delete them ? (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) Thanks.   Jack

    You mean in the workspace itself? If so, in the lower right, there is an icon with two diamond-shaped layers stacked. Tap it > Delete Layer. (Make sure the particular layer you want to get rid of is selected.)

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    depening on what OS you're running you should be able to reinstall it without charge since it's part of the operating system. if running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to use the applications install disc if there is one or if you only have one disc you can put it in and do a reinstall of the OS which will put the iphoto back on. if running 10.7 or 10.8 can sign into the app store w/ the same apple id that is associated w/ the mac and it should show in your purchases for you to reinstall it. you may need to click on the accept button if it appears next to the iphoto in your purchase listing.

  • Change of functionality in deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match with the 11.0.2 version of iTunes?

    I updated to iTunes 11.0.2 and this version brought a change of wording regarding deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match, and I'd like to know if there are any changes in functionality to match the change in wording:
    With version 11.0.2, when I try to delete any song (uploaded, matched or purchased) I'm presented with a pop-up dialog box that asks me if I'm sure and also gives me a "Also hide this song from iCloud?" option.
    In prior iTunes versions the pop-up dialog box would ask instead "Also delete this song from iCloud?".
    Has the functionality changed? If so, what's the difference in functionality between 11.0.2 and previous versions? If the functionality of deleting songs has changed, how do I delete an uploaded song from both my local library and iCloud/iTunes Match?

    I am having the same issue- pelase could anyone help? Mods?

  • There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.

    Absolutely INFURIATING.
    I have spent absolute hours building a photo album for the first year or my sons life. Sorting through quite literally thousands and thousands of images. Got a brilliant looking album using 177 of them.
    Now everytime I try to check out it won't get past page 1 of building the book.
    It says the following "There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.".
    The images all look perfect. I have even tried taking them out and re adding the first page images from the library.
    Same problem.
    This is so annoying. So far I have NOT been happy with this iphoto application having nothing but problems with missing thumbnails. Corrupted images. Things that have never happened to me using a windows machine.

    Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
    For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
    If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

    i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating.  Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,

  • Can I delete photos from iPhoto that were used in an iMovie Project?

    I made an iMovie Project with a lot of photos from iPhoto. I don't want some of the photos anymore. I would like to delete them from iPhoto but I am afraid it might affect the iMovie Project. Does any body know?

    If you've finished the iMovie project and exported it to other media or file format, then yes, you can delete the files from iPhoto.
    If the iMovie project isn't finished you should leave things alone.
