Hide Images in Aperture

I have searched for a while to na avail, maybe someone can help!
Is there a way to hide photos in Aperture 3? Just like in iPhoto. I don't use iPhoto, but I do know that that feature is pretty handy. There is about 100 images dotted around my library that I want to hide. I don't really want to have stacks with some random image as the pick, because that creates a few problems when I go to edit the pick and there is random images in the stack along with adjusted images. So basically is there a way to hide them?
Regards

The idea of rejecting them had crossed my mind, but I'm not sure I understand about the filters. Would it mean I would have to look at all my photo's through a virtual filter? So if I was to click on a specific project in the sidebar, it wouldn't be filtered so the images would be there? That is definitely a bit clunky if it is correct.
It's definitely clunky.
The gist of it is that, by default, Aperture hides any photos that have been "rejected." Think of rejected as a negative one star rating, and unrated is zero stars.
-1 star Rejected
0 stars Unrated
1 stars
2 stars
3 stars
4 stars
By default, Aperture displays only unrated or better, so the only ones that you've rejected are normally hidden from view.
Ideally, you'd have a global setting to toggle whether rejected files are displayed or not. But in reality, to view the rejected files you need to change the filter setting for the project you're currently viewing - and then remember to change the filter back when you're done. The filter settings are separate for each and every project/folder/album, etc.

  • Can not view images in Aperture

    Mavens!
    I  was editing images in Aperture 3.5.1 ( latest Mavericks / iMAC) and went to add  sharpening using CTRL + S when all the images dissappeared in the viewer.  
    I can still see the thumbnails - I can export original images etc - I just can't see anything in the viewer - it's grey and blank.
    There are NO filters / searches in place (the usual gotcha for hiding images).
    Initially I had the feeling I must have mis-queued the keystroke for sharpening and somehow hidden the images in the library. But now I find that all of my libraries have this problem.  Aperture will only display thumbnails and nothing in the viewer.
    Coudl this be a "delete plist"  scenario?  Any clues for further invesigation greatly appreacited as I'm stumped.

    Hello Kirby
    Thank you for yur reply and sorry I have taken so oong to get back to you.  We just had a catergory 2 tropical cyclone cross the coast a few km away - been a little pre-occupied.
    That said - the problem has gone away.
    During the session where it arose I restarted the system twice and the systems persisted - so I am a little mystified.
    And again thank you for reminding of the "try new user account" wrinkle  - obviously the first step for serious troubleshooting.
    Kind regards

  • How do I set the desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3?

    Sorry for the silly question, but I can't find how to set my desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3. It was simple when using Iphoto, but I can't find the method in aperture.
    Thanks,
    Dale.

    Command(⌘)-9 is no longer listed in the list of default keyword shortcuts, and it has no effect.
    I wrote a little Automator service to bring the Command(⌘)-9 back.
    A copy of this service is here for download:
    http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/SetDesktopPicture.workflow.zip
    This service uses three actions:
    Aperture: Get selected images
    Export Masters
    Finder: Set the Desktop Picture
    To install it, open the workflow in Automator and save it as service.
    To use it, select any image in Aperture, then activate the service from the Aperture menu -> Services, and it will set the master of the selected image as Desktop picture.
    If you like, you can assign the Command(⌘)-9 key to the service (in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts Panel) and then  turn any image you selected into Desktop wallpaper by simply pressing (⌘)-9.
    @Frank Caggiano, if you are still following this thread: for some reason this workflow succeeds with exporting the master, but I could not get it to work with the versions instead. Any ideas?
    Caution: this service will clutter the Desktop with the exported images. If you want to avoid that, change the export action to export the image to a different folder.

  • Is it possible to add a text box to an image in Aperture?

    is it possible to add a text box/caption to an image in Aperture? (I do NOT have photoshop)

    Do you want to write it directly onto the image? Then install and use the free BorderFX plug-in for Aperture. It will let you write text annotations directly onto the image or onto a border.

  • Data and Images in Aperture are a mess

    I just bought and started using Aperture, as I was hoping to get a better way to organize my images vs. iPhoto.  However, I'm not sure what is happening in Aperture, but everything is out of whack.  For example:
    1) Aperture is not sorting the images correctly by date (see iPhoto vs. Aperture) (not sure what its doing actually)
    Order in iPhoto (correct):  https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/8c59344a-ad63-46f5-8a88-010016374bfa/75c42 3a7f3ee54dfec6e89f7c72c0f23
    Order in Aperture (not correct):  https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/81c58b92-1307-4932-b224-b652966ea60a/74d37 ba969f0897719c48a7826f0e30a
    2) Aperture is showing the wrong images for various photos.  Note:  Clearly these photos are broken, stretched, just plain wrong
    https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/81c58b92-1307-4932-b224-b652966ea60a/74d37 ba969f0897719c48a7826f0e30a
    3) Aperture is showing a different photo when the thumbnail is clicked
    https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/8205f754-1c20-48b7-a2ac-e1967563b0d3/374e4 0a22028e21b78adae7f9e794d68
    Note:  This is the first photo shown in iPhoto, and is the correct photo in iPhoto, but its not in Aperture per the Thumbnail.
    4) Aperture is showing the wrong date information
    https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/c1ca65a4-7276-4734-b3a2-51fd803df86b/a2bd7 61f93844b38fcae0a4243eb4e39
    Basically, nothing in Aperture is showing correctly.  How can that be possible?  Any suggestions?

    What is your Aperture version? If you just bought it, it will probably be Aperture 3.5.1, but then your profile signature " Mac OS X (10.5.6)" could not be right?
    Looking at the examples you posted, it looks to me, like Aperture's sorting by date is correct - at least the images are ordered by the numbers in the file names, and that strongly suggests, that the capture time in the exif tags is in that order.  I don't know any camera that would name the image files with sequence numbers other than ordered by capture time. Then iPhotos order would be out of sequence with respect to the capture time. Or have you adjusted the  "Dare & Time" in iphoto to deviate from the capture times? How did you transfer the photos from iPhoto to Aperture?

    If the thumbnails do not correspond to the actual image files, then rebuild the thumbnails of your photos in that project. Select all images in Aperture in the Browser, go to the "Photos" menu in the main menu bar,  and use the command "generate Thumbnails".
    After that, you should be better able to judge the ordering of the photos from the thumbnails in the browser.
    If receating the thumbnails does not suffice, repair your Aperture libry, and if necessary, rebuild it.
    Hold down the ⌥⌘-keys while launching Aperture, and keep holding them firmly, until you see the Aperture Library First Aid panel. Select "repair database"

  • How do I remove images from aperture?

    Totally new to apple and aperture so I apologise if this seems like a somewhat noob question but how do I remove images from aperture (using the latest version, 3.4.1)? Coming from a PC and using lightroom I'm used to being able to remove images in two ways:
    - removing the image from the "library", so that it no longer shows up in the program at all but is still on your hard drive (when I say removing it from the program entirely, I mean entirely, i.e. not sitting in a trash can or some other place where it's still taking up memory)
    - deleting the original image off the hard drive
    Is it possible to do either of these things in aperture, on both just a single image or a selection of multiple images, and if so how? I've tried googling this already and am getting a bunch of mixed solutions, none of which have really worked so far, so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The answer partially depends on whether you have a managed or referenced library. Since you're totally new to Aperture, I'm assuming you have a managed library since that's the default.
    FYI: Managed means Aperture handles image files and places them inside the library file. Referenced means you manage the image files and Aperture only points to (references) them.
    For a managed library, select an image you want to delete. Type command-delete. (That's the reverse delete key next to the "=" key). (You can also right-click an image and choose Delete Version) That will remove the images from their Project and place in the Aperture Trash. They're still taking up space in the Trash. If you really want them gone for good, right-click the Trash in the library pane and select Empty Trash. Poof.
    For a reference library, I forgot the exact details since I don't use this type of library, but you'll be asked (or can check a box) to delete the original file from the disk.

  • I am trying to organize thousands of images in aperture.  The dates on the old scanned images is all 2008, when I started importing them.  When I change the date in aperture some of them hold the modified date and some revert to 2008.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to organize thousands of old images in aperture.  Aperture dates them all in 2008, when I started this project.  When I change the date in aperture some of them hold the modified date and some revert to 2008.  Any ideas?

      I just tried a test library, re-imported fresh images from a hard drive, and the date changes still revert.
    So neither your external drive nor your Aperture library are to blame.
    What do you mean test in a different user acct?  Would it be a good idea to uninstall and re-download aperture 3?
    Appreciate all your help.
    I meant the trouble shooting procedure described here:  Isolating an issue by using another user account
    To test, if some settings in your user account are faulty or preferences files corrupted, it helps to create a new user account from the "Users&Groups" System preferences. With a brand new user account you can see, if something in your current account is causing this.
    Should you see, that Aperture is not even working from a new and clean account, I'd reinstall Aperture, and if need be the Operating system.  Are you using any plug-ins?

  • How do I find duplicate images in Aperture?

    How do I find duplicate images in Aperture AFTER importing my entire library from iPhoto? There must be a way to do that, right?
    Please let me know the secret.
    Thanks!

    Léonie,  Thank you for your rapid reply!
    I am using Aperture Version 3.4.3 and 9.4.2.  I downloaded the Duplicate Annihilator but it gives me an error message that says this:
    I have no idea what that is all about since I am using this library in iPhoto and Aperture. I already sent the company an email asking about the problem.
    I am seeing dupes that came from my original photos in iPhoto and from iPhoto PhotoStreams with monthly dates; these are listed in my Apertrure Projects listing. Is there a way to SAFELY dump these dupes?
    Thanks!

  • Is there any way to invert raw images in Aperture.

    I am "scanning" a lot of old slides and negatives with a SLR camera using an old professional slide duplicator.
    It is very fast and effective with slides and I have tried with negatives. It goes very well except for I have to invert the negative image in Photoshop and even in 16 bit theres at lot less quality left when I save it back in Aperture for the last color correction.
    The solution would be to be able to do the inversion from negative to positive image i full raw quality inside Aperture.
    Does anyone know if there is at "trick" to invert the raw-image in Aperture?

    There is not.  Inversion is more a rewrite than an adjustment -- best done between the scan and importing, imho.

  • Changing master images in aperture and iphoto

    hi
    am i right in thinking that there is no way of altering my original (master) images (located in my 'pictures' folder) in both aperture ans iphoto? I want to be able to see the changes in the original images in this folder, and have these altered images available for other applications, such as itunes. i don't want to have to export altered images from aperture/iphoto, but rather just have one copy of each image. will i need to use preview for basic changes or a third party application such as graphic converter/photoshop for more advanced permanent changes to the originals?
    thanks
    nick

    hi
    i have checked the following options: 'maintain previews for project' for my project, and 'share previews with ilife and iwork' in the general preferences. i have then altered the colours of an image in an album for this project and the thumbnail and image in aperture update OK, but nothing changes in finder, and when i open the image in preview it it is still the same as the master image, rather than the image with changed colour. am i doing something wrong?
    thanks

  • I have images in aperture and in my picture folder that I want to burn to DVD. I need them to be viewable on pc and possibly via a DVD player. My first attempt proved to work only mac. Can anyone help?

    Can anyone help me with burning DVD with images in Aperture and picture folder. I need the to be viewable on pc and DVD player if possible.
    My first attempt only works on mac.

    Eh la Pastenague! Je savais que tu était léthale pour l'homme mais ce sont pluôt les machines à pommes qui devraient te craindre. Merci! Solved. 
    For future reference.
    My TC is a 3rd gen.
    I actually had to reset to standard defaults not only once but twice. The first time I simply returned to my old profile but that only led to the same message error on the network settings (i.e. IP by default, cannot connect to the internet). Therefore the second time around I kept my profile as backup and re-created a new one plus a guest one.
    The airport utility then signaled to issues remaining:
    1) Internet access was cut - this I solved by simply reseting the cable modem
    2) There were no DNS Servers - I simply copied the ones I had from the previous setup and it worked
    I did have AppleCare....
    I'm online again and I hope for good.
    Thanks a lot
    PS. a small tip - I made captures of all my settings in Network settings, Airport Utility and Network utility using Grab in case of ... if anything it is just handy to get back settings that your are missing when setting up a new configuration

  • 5DIII images in Aperture have a line at the top

    I got my new Canon 5DIII on the weekend and before importing the first lot of images, I updated Aperture as I'd seen the software update announcing support for 5DIII raws.
    All images when viewed through Aperture have a thin (possibly 1-pixel wide) line at the top of a landscape image, or to the left or right on a portrait image.  The line is not a single colour, but seems to be made up of a distortion of colours from the image itself.  I can see that the raw images on the disk when viewed through the Finder do not have the line (PHEW!), and the line is not there when I export an image from Aperture.  So, given that it only appears inside Aperture, it's not a huge problem, and I'm certainly happy that it's not the camera, but it's still annoying.  Another point is that the line is not there during that 3-second "Processing" period while it's first looking at a new RAW; it only appears after it's successfully processed it.
    Anyone else experienced this, or can someone try it out and look for it?  I'm at work at the moment so can't upload a screenshot, but happy to do so later if required.
    cheers,
    Ian
