How do I move my photos from iPhoto into Aperture so that I can delete my iPhoto libraries?

My iPhoto library is taking up around 60GB of harddrive space but as I only use Aperture now, I want to get rid of the libraries without losing anything from Aperture

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To move your iPhoto photos to Aperture, read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5296 You just have to merge the iPhoto library once, because you only have one iPhoto library
note that, if you are using iPhoto '11 and Aperture 3 updated to the most recent version, they use the same library. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260

  • How do I move my photos from iPhoto to a memory stick

    How do I move all of the photos in iPhoto to a memory stick. I want to keep them in a different physical location for safe-keeping.

    Format the memory stick first.
    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice, which should also apply here:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • HT1229 How do I move a photo from iPhoto to a web site where I'm trying to sell an item?

    I want to post a picture on a web site where I'm trying to sell an item.  I know that I must transfer the picture to another location in order to access it through the web cite, but I don't know how.

    Either use the media broswer  (on the left of the browser upload window unders media ==> photos ==> iPhoto)
    or
    to resize first use the export command - for details on accessing your files and on exporting see the user tip on each one

  • How do you get your photos from iPhoto into Photoshop?  Am I just duumb

    How do I move my photos from iPhoto to Photoshop?  I am feeling really dumb right now.

    Hi Gramo5,
    Please follow the below steps.
    In the Finder, navigate to your iPhoto package file. By default, it's located in /Users/[user name]/Pictures, and it's called iPhoto Library.   
    Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.   
    A Finder window opens that shows the contents of the package file. The Masters folder contains all of the photos that are in iPhoto.
    Control-click the folder named Masters and choose Duplicate.   
    Drag the folder named "Masters copy" from the iPhoto Library Finder window to your Desktop and then you can import the pictures to Photoshop from the desktop.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • How do I move my photos from mobileme to my events folder?

    How do I move my photos from mobile me to my events folder? 
    Somehow, I made a mobile me folder and my original folder with the pictures is now gone....

    MobileMe has been gone well over a year and the last oppertunity to get your photos was long ago
    I made a mobile me folder and my original folder with the pictures is now gone....
    What does this mean? If you have a finder folder with photos in it (no matter where they came from) you can drat the folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock and import them

  • How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom ?

    How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom?  Thanks, I am a novice to Lightroom.

    To access your Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop and Lightroom
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name] > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
    2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
    5. Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop or Lightroom from the file on the desktop.
    or
    7.  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
        Then access the files in the folder via Lightroom and Photoshop

  • How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    When I click on PhotoStream in iPhoto, I have two "categories":  My Photos, and Family and Friends Photos.  Under My Photos I have the following albums:  "My Photo Stream", "Miscellaneous", "Grandchildren", and "Family Photos".  All photos that I move from anywhere else automatically go into 'My Photo Stream".  I would like to move (or copy) some of the photos from "My Photo Stream" into one of the other three albums.
    Hope I have done a better job of explaining my situation.  Thanks again for your help.  Dick

  • I want to move my photos from iPhoto to Time Capsule to make space on my computer.  What's the best means of doing this?

    I want to move my photos from iPhoto to Time Capsule to make space on my computer.  What's the best means of doing this?

    Please do not do this.
    The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.....not as an everyday hard drive. Access to the Time Capsule is slow.
    If there is any loss of connection between iPhoto and the iPhoto library when you are reading or writing, the entire iPhoto library is easily corrupted.
    The chances of corruption are even more likely if you are using wireless on the computer.
    And....even if you decide to risk this....if you move your "original" iPhoto library to the Time Capsule.....how will you make backups of the library?
    The only copy of the library will be on the Time Capsule....you have no backups.....when, not if, the Time Capsule has a problem.
    Simply stated, I would never do this with any important data that you cannot afford to lose. Please post in the iPhoto support area if you need to confirm this.

    If you do want an idea of how to move your iPhoto library correctly, post back and we can help.

  • How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?

    How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?
    My iMac lost all of the photos in the iPhoto library about 3 OSX updates ago (current system 10.9.1) but they recently appeared on my iPad. I have looked at all of the iphoto libraries on my iMac (3) and one contains 419 photos, one contains 3 photos and the main library has place holders with description information for 3741 photos but no photos. My iPad has all of the photos in iPhoto. How do I move them?

    The answer is no. There is no originals (or masters folder) that I can find. Below are the following folders in iPhoto:
    Events Folder: 71 place holders with decriptions including 6 recent photos
    Photos Folders: 3741 Place Holders with descriptions
    Photo Stream: 1 photo
    Last 18 Months: 157 photos
    Last Import: 1 photo
    Cloud: 229 photos
    1 Album: 3 placeholders with descriptions
    Slideshow: 1 placeholder with description
    Many of the actual photos are recent and are duplicated in one of the abovefolders
