How do I copy a photo from one folder to another one in Aperture

I'm old and feeble      I cannot figure out how to copy a photo from one folder to another folder   and my 13 year old grandson can't figure it out either, so I feel better about it
thanks

Um ... that doesn't seem ... like a useful workflow.  When you say "folder" do you mean a Folder in Aperture (shown on the Library tab of the Inspector) or a folder in Finder?  They are not at all the same thing.
Aperture is an image manager, with the requisite file management built-in.  Finder is a file manager.
If you provide a full description of what are doing, and what you are trying to do, someone here can set your straight.
Fwiw, IME, the learning curve if very long and uphill, but gentle.  What's unusual (esp. for Apple products) is that the landmass of Aperture is separated from the rest of your computer knowledge by a moat.  What I mean is, the first leap is the hardest.  After that, you'll be on firm ground, ready to explore.

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

  • How can I move a Pages file from a folder to another one?

    I Have done the upgrade to mac os Yosemite but now i'm Not able to move a file from a folder to another one Inside iCloud
    now it's impossible to organize MY archive

    Thankyou Winston, you guess right. What i don't understand is why with the older version of mac os (10.9) i can organize my document into icloud folders using the Pages app window. But now with the new version i'm no longer able to do that. Using ipad in the same window there is no problem, but in mac os it doesn't work. 

  • How do I copy a photo from my PC to my iPad?

    Help! How do I copy a photo or folder from my PC to my iPad?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • IPhoto..how do I copy a photo and drop it into another album?

    IPhoto..How do I copy a photo in one album and paste it into another?

    I have IPHOTO 9.5.1  I used to be able to drag and drop but it won't do that anymore.
    then something is wrong - drag and drop between albums should work. Itb is working for me without a problem. While viewing an album, select the photos inside that you want to include anither album and drag them to that album in the sidebar of the Source List like this:
    Is that, how you have tried it?
    If this does not work, repair your iPhoto library.

  • How do I copy my photos from one PC to a new one and have them be able to be edited on Photoshop?

    I originally used a data cable to transfer from my old PC (Windows 7) to my new PC, which is also windows 7.   Many of the photos don't transfer.
    I tried copy the photos to a hard drive.  any of the photos saved in a TIF file, are "broken files" in Photoshop Organizer

    Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question.   Perhaps I didn't make my question clear.  I do have Photoshop on both computers.   It's my photos that are not transfering.

    Hi - I want to copy some photo's in iPhoto onto a usb flash drive.  How do I do this?
    Thank you

    Insert your usb flash drive.
    In iPhoto select the photos you want to write to the flash drive and use the command "File > Export".
    In the "Export" panel set the quality and size you want for the exported images. Then click the "Export" button and in the File Chooser dialouge select your flash drive as the destination.

  • How do I copy a photo from the internet to iPhoto library?

    I am a new Mac user. Love it so far! I am trying to drag and drop a photo from the internet into my iPhoto library. I guess I am doing it wrong. Suggestions?
    Thanks so much

    Maybe try right clicking on the pic and then Save As on the desktop and be sure the file type is jpeg or tif or some photo type. Then drop it onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock (assuming you have it there).
