How can you tell if an image's preview exists?

OK, I actually needed to get some work done on my PB, so I turned off "New projects always generate previews" to make the fan shut up. Since then I've been making previews on a project-by-project or image-by-image basis.
Now I can't remember which projects and images have previews. I thought I'd seen something in the manual about a badge indicator for this, but now I can't seem to find it.
How do I figure out which previews already exist?

Hello, Steve
Quote: "How do I figure out which previews already exist? "
If you select the photograph and go to the Aperture menu Images>Update Preview or Generate Preview it will let you know if it has a preview by stating "The preview for the selected item is already up-to-date."
You can force a re-render by holding the option key down and selecting Images>Update Preview.
Aperture makes a preview when you select the photograph to see it in the Viewer so then from the Browser you can click & drag it to another application not just to the iWork and iLife apps but to Final Cut Pro, Motion, Adobe GoLive etc.
love & peace,

  • How can you tell if a pic hasnt been tagged by iPhoto, and do you then...

    How can you tell if a pic hasnt been tagged by iPhoto, and do you then do you then have to draw "missing box" around them
    What I mean is tagged a few faces, imported some more pics, checked a few and they dont show as named faces, but are faces that are in my Faces source list (ie identified and named)
    So do I then have to draw a box around known faces to me, and name them again (I think iPhoto will pop up as Im typing the names I already have)
    It just means that even when i import and it doesnt name, I may have lots of pics that are of faces but not tagged and so not in my faces source list
    please help
    cheers
    ps when are Apple going to upload the Getting Started manuals for iLife 09? its been a while since released now, ad they give a bit more insight than the video tutorials alone

    No-one? It'll be nice to know how many pics of faces that arent yet tagged
    cheers

  • How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

    How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
    In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
    Can FCP tell me this info?
    Thanks for yout time!
    -Monty

    Monty,
    Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
    For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
    Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

    how can you tell who the original sender of a group text is on an iPhone 5, when all that appears is a list of recipients in no particular order? I can't seem to identify the sender in the details list.

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

  • How can you tell if your podcast is streaming or if you're playing from a download?

    Yesterday I downloaded a podcast with the new Podcasts app on my iPhone. To play the podcast (while away from my WiFi), I tapped the episode in the Episodes list. I assumed I was playing the downloaded version. This morning, when I checked my data usage, it was 87MB more than it was yesterday! Does this mean that I inadvertently STREAMED the podcast instead? How can you tell?

    This is the itunes forum.  Your question seems to have nothing to do with itunes.
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.  Try those.

  • How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    By using an external editor. Preview is already on your Mac. It's called 'Flip Horizontal'
    In order of price here are some other suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • How can you tell which cabinet you are connected t...

    As the title says, how can you tell once installed.
    the reason i ask is where i live there is only the bt-pcp and the drl-fttc cabinet and no others.
    from what i heard is that both BT and DRL occupy the same fttc cabinet, and this would suggest so based on other information received.
    yet from other information i'm hearing is that they don't and we're probably wired all the way back to the exchange which i would have thought was a bit odd seeing with 3 miles from exchange (as the crow flies).
    so is it possible that they use the same cabs?

    hi,
    yeh am on infinity now and so far working fine
    had one disconnection but thing that was caused by outage as took router a few attempts to re-connect, but other than that my pppoe has only dropped when made a change on router which required it to restart.
    now been connected for 8 days without dropping (usually dropped every weekend when on DR) so continuing to monitor.
    the engineer advised was connected via the cabinet in street, but only cabinets are the bt-pcp and the dr-fttc cabinets, and AFAIK BT and DR share the cabinet from what I've been previously told, but then someone else has said they won't do that and the connection is probably one that is underground if there is no bt-pcp.
    i'll send Dean a message just so i know for future as i know the bt-pcp cabinet my number is connected too.

    Thanks for that, just getting used to these brilliant smart albums, do I have to have one of these smart albums for every event though? can I not just use it for all photos?

  • Glossy vs. Non-Glossy Screen - How can you tell?

    Hi,
    If someone came to you on the street with a MacBook Pro, how can you tell if he/she had a glossy or non-glossy screen? Is there something in System Preferences or something that tells you directly? Or do you have to tell by just looking?
    Thanks.

    Only way is by looking. Just look at the dislay at an angle, and if you see a reflection it's glossy.
