Deleting Versions....and not master copy

Every time I delete a version I loose the photo and can't find it anywhere. Where the **** are the master copies and why does deleting a version from the "FILE" menu get ride of the entire picture?
Also, where can I find a good document that will help me learn the features of this program? I don't always have access to the internet and want to be able to work the program. The user manual is horribly inadequate.

Really.
Aperture (and Lightroom) do not behave like classic computer file based pixel editors. A non-destructive workflow requires that one understand some basic concepts:
-- Every image starts with a "master" image which is placed in one, and only one, "project." These images may be "managed" in which case they are arranged in date order inside the Aperture "library" or "referenced," in which case they are arranged any way you want, any where you want.
-- Within Aperture, every master has at least one "version." You cannot see masters, only versions. You can create as many versions as you want. You might create them to preserve different crops, color adjustments, or B&W conversions. You can also populate them around various albums, smart and dumb, so that one image can be found many places. (For example, you may one the same image of Sally in Cancun in a bikini in the albums: Models, Mexico, and Swimwear. Easily done.
-- Deleting versions does not delete the master, until you delete the LAST version, in which case it Aperture will warn you. If you delete a version in one place, it will warn you if the same version exists in other places.
-- Sending a version to an "external editor" will create a new master image and version, in the format you have selected for external editors. This new master will normally be "stacked" next to the original.
Hope this helped. I tried to "quote" all of the ApertureSpeak terms. Aperture is an incredibily powerful image processing system that relieves you of almost all computer file handling annoyances. But, as with anything this powerful, it can be complex and ya gotta read the book. Or consider taking the tutorial.
All the best,

  • Why does my browser keep on opening things in mobile version and not desktop version?

    hi everyone,
    i just picked up my imac today and i'm trying to get used to it. here's one of many questions i have:
    why do certain pages like facebook and hotmail sign in always open up in the mobile version and not desk top? how can i change the settings so that things will open only in the desk top version?
    i went into develop and clicked on the latest safari but that didn't do anything.
    it's annoying changing it every time i go into those sites.
    any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks,
    mary

    Read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
    Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
    Step 1
    In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
    Caches/Metadata/Safari
    Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
    Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit Safari again.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
    Quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
    Step 3
    If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
    Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
    PubSub/Database
    Safari
    (Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
    Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that will have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
    If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
    Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
    If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

  • What are the differences between a trial version and a licensed copy of RoboHelp?

    What are the differences between a trial version and a licensed copy of RoboHelp? How is original Robohelp software useful compared to the evaluation version (freely downloaded software)
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    The only difference should be that the trial is limited to 30 days use. All functionality works and nothing is watermarked Trial or suchlike.
    The trial of the standalone version allows you to link to FrameMaker documents. It should not and that feature will be disabled if you proceed with the full version. Other than the time limitation, that is the only difference.

  • TS2988 I had to reset my phone and I only have one of my ringtones I had 4.. Why'd it delete 3 and not the last one and now I can't get em back without paying for them again!!! What the **** is up with that??

    Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

  • Do I have the chance to get Photoshop for free if I'm a student? I mean the full version and not the trial.

    Do I have the chance to get Photoshop for free if I'm a student? I mean the full version and not the trial.

    No. Just the student rate on a permanent or subscription license. Some places do include Photoshop and other products as part of the tuition, but it is a separate arrangement and most likely temporary.
    The Photography Plan is a fine deal at $10 a month. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
    Otherwise there are free and paid lower cost Photoshop alternatives you can look into.

  • Firefox stopped opening on my Macbook and I deleted it and downloaded another copy. The downloaded copy won't open either. What's wrong?

    I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    Everything else on the computer is working correctly. I would click on the icon, it would do the double-bounce and not open.
    I downloaded a new copy after deleting everything Firefox and I get a message that says "Profile Missing - Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded . It may be missing or inaccessible."

    Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
    How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  • Delete versions and masters in aperture and finder

    When I import pictures to Aperture I store the originals in Finder/pictures.  While browsing through my pictures in Aperture I would like to delete the masters in Finder/pictures at the same time as I am in Aperture.  Is there a way to do so?  Or some way to update my Finder/picture file to reflect what I deleted or created (new versions) in Aperture?
    Thanks.

    I think you're asking: 1) can you find the master for a version you're looking at, 2) if you're looking at a master, can you locate all the versions (or instances in albums), and 3) can you find which albums a photo is used in if you're seeing it in another album or looking at the master. (Versions and having a photo in multiple albums aren't the same thing in Aperture lingo.)
    Good questions and I think many of us would want to have those capabilities.
    Unfortunately I can only answer one of the questions. You could search for the file name if you find the file in an album and you'd be taken to the master if you're high in the hierarchy. It can be shown in the Metadata HUD if you select the Versions and Filenames preset.
    The structure of the Aperture photo storage is well described in
    <http://homepage.mac.com/bagelturf/aparticles/library/brown/brown.html> and make help one understand the possibilities.

  • HT4059 how to retrieve accidentally deleted highlights and notes in an ibook

    My partner has spent countless hours highlighting and marking up a book my mother asked them to edit - only to accidentally delete all of the highlights and notes - thinking they had selected just a small set of notes to delete - but OH NO 16 pages disappeared - any chance they can get them back?

    Well, you might think that. But you would be wrong.
    I'm not aware of any unix OS with an undelete function at the filesystem level.
    Such things don't tend to work well in a multiuser/server environment where lots of things are writing to the disk in the background.
    And trying to guess what the filesystem used to look like is a good way to court random file system corruption.

  • Delete previewed and not bought books from iTunes

    How do I delete 2 books in my iTunes library on my macbook that I just previewed and not bought on the ebooks app on my iphone? I also no longer have the ebooks app.

    I tried that and all it said was Get Info and Rating. I figured it out though, I redownloaded the app and deleted them from there and now they're gone. Thanks for the help .

  • How do I revert to CS6 after trying the extended version and not buying.

    I tried the CS6 extended version and decided not to buy it.  Now I cannot open my own registered CS6 software.  Clicking on the CS6 icon brings up the expired trial dialog box and unless I buy, it closes the software.  CS6 extended is not listed as a program that can be uninstalled.  Seems as though I've been hijacked!  I tried to find the answer by using the chat contact resource but they told me I needed to try the forums. 

    Does it show as activated under Help?
    The only difference between Extended and Non-Extended is a serial number.  The actual software is the same.  I'd suggest simply reinstalling, but I'm guessing that you did not deactivate your original CS6 before switching the Extended Trial?
    It might be that you will need to contact Customer support, and explain what has happened, and ask them to reset your Activations.  Wait a bit though, in case a better idea comes along.

  • LTP consider production version and not consider selection id for routing

    Dear guru.
    I run mrp long term planning for a material.
    The material have a production version linked to a specific bom and routing.
    In trx OPU5 I have defined that the planning scenario consider a specific selection id for routing  , this routing is different from the  routing of production version.
    The result is that for this material ltp donu2019t consider any routing and no evaluation activity is possible.
    Do you know a solution in order that for LTP the system donu2019t consider production version and instead only consider OPU5 settings ?
    Thanks for your interesting.

    Dear CONS SAP,
    Create a new planning scenario in T Code MS31 and then maintain the scheduling parameters for this planning scenario and
    assign this selection Id and then execute and check.
    Check and revert

  • Ical 5.0.3 on 10.7.5 - how to delete invites and NOT notify sender??

    I have a lot of calendar invites that come in via email regularly and I want to delete or decline them but I do NOT want to notify the sender. For example, I may have received a calendar invite from someone months ago that has recently left an organization. If i hit 'decline' ical sends an email messgae that the invite was declined - I do not want to send that email.
    Have to believe I can set a flag for 'do not notify' - somewhere.
    Is there a file I can edit if this version of ical doesn't make that available in preferences (I can't find it). Thanks in advance.
    This is a huge problem as I receive invites from several hundred people monthly and I need too clear all this stuff out but don't icall to automatically want to send emails.
    E.

    Solved:
    1. Type  chflags nohidden ~/Library/ in a Terminal window.
    2. Click on the hard drive icon located on the desktop.
    3. Go to Users > [username] > Library > Safari folder.
    4. Delete all files except “Bookmarks.plist”.
    5. Then go to Users > [username] > Library > Preferences.
    6. Find com.apple.Safari.plist, com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist, and com.apple.internetconfig.plist and delete them (ignore any file you can’t find).

    Hi,
    As mentioned earlier, you need to delete all the transaction data wherever this master data is being used. One option is to use to the where used list from the master data and the other and more effective way to do the same is to first right click and delete the master data, it will give u a message that all the master data cannot be deleted. After that goto t-code SLG1 and check the log for deletion, it will tell u the exact objects where this master data is being used and then you can go ahead and delete the same.
    You can also use t-code SE14 to delete the data but keep it as the last option.

  • How/where can I download FrameMaker11? I only have a licence for this version and not version 12.

    Hi guys,
    I have already started a chat about this but I kinda got kicked out.
    The essence is that I need to download FrameMaker 11 to re-sintall it on a PC.
    The problems is that I couldn't find a download anywhere for a FrameMaker version older than version 12.
    So I'd really appreciate your help, guys.
    Best,
    Tim
    P.S
    Here's the chat transcript from yesterday, btw:
    info: You are now chatting with Mayank. To ensure we stay connected throughout our interaction , please don't click on the 'x' in the chat window. Doing so will disconnect our chat session.
    Mayank: Hello! Welcome to Adobe.
    Mayank: I have received your query. Please allow me a moment to verify your account and to review the details of your request.
    Mayank: Sure I will provide you the download links for Framemaker 11
    Mayank: There is a way to download the previous version
    info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [email protected] at the end of your chat.
    Mayank: Please follow the below instructions
    Mayank: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=framemaker
    Mayank: Click on the above link and login
    Mayank: It will take you to FM 12 download page
    Mayank: Do not click on download
    Mayank: Let me know once you are on that page

    If you purchased your copy online, you should be able to re-download the install files from the Adobe Licensing site; otherwise you’ll have to contact Adobe Support again. Hopefully you deactivated your copy of FM on the old machine first to free up your serial number.
