How to enable images offline in aperture

How to enable images offline in aperture?
Cannot reconnect to images offline?

Tell us more, please - that is not much to go on
What is your Aperture version, your MacOS X version, where are your referenced original image files located? On yor system drive or on an external drive, a network volume?
What happened, before the images went offline? A crash? Did you install or upgrade software?
What did you try already to fix that problem?

How to handle images stored /outside/ Aperture

I am coming from a PC environment where my images were stored all over my hard drive in various folders and subfolders. I am part-way through organizing all of this in Aperture but I OFTEN find myself exporting images to folders on my desktop in order to upload them to FTP or edit them in Photoshop conveniently and as I move to working in something like an Adobe Suite that allows me to edit and link images I do see myself keeping images outside of Aperture.
Can anyone help me out with how to manage this a little more practically (say by only keeping images on the desktop but not in the Documents Folder) and/or should I be trying to discipline myself down to keeping everything in Aperture? I find it relatively confusing to do it this way but am very interested in getting some advice on this.
Thanks,
Jon

Jon,
I used to have everything sorted with the top folder being 'Project 1', 'Project 2', 'Project 3', etc. with either all files in that folder, or sub-folders for each file type. This was pretty good, but eventually got out of hand once I had a couple hundred projects with all types of files in each folder and needed to find a specific file (say an Illustrator file I needed to work on).
Now, I use the following structure for Adobe CS5 projects:
Top level folder = 'Design Files'
Second level folders = 'Photoshop Files', 'Illustrator Files', 'InDesign Files', 'Acrobat Files'
Third level folders (inside each of the second level folders as needed) = 'Project 1', 'Project 2', 'Project 3', etc.
This gives me all my PSD files inside one master 'Photoshop Files' folder divided by Project folders. If - for example - Project 1 has PSD files, AI files, IND files and PDF files, then there is a Project 1 folder under each of the second level folders for each program. This allows me easy access to either all files for a program by going to that folder, or I can run a dynamic search (smart folder) for a project and see all relevant folders for that project in the search results.
The main reason I have it this way now is that I usually remember the file type (as mentioned above for an Illustrator file). I typically remember that I did an illustration, but can't remember the file name of the illustration or the project it went in for sure. My current structure shortens my search time considerably.
Note - I can also use Bridge CS5 very easily for the Adobe CS5 files since it shows thumbnails of the actual file and I can visually search very fast that way.
At home - with Aperture - I only hold the original images (pictures) that I started to work with. I don't keep any PSD, TIFF, PDF, PNG, etc. in the library. This is simply because Bridge is much better at showing those files with transparency if it exists, and Aperture stays a straight-forward image (picture) database for me.
If I send an image to a plug-in or to Photoshop from inside Aperture, I do it for a specific purpose and then I complete the process and export it to one of the dedicated folders in Finder (typically to my Photoshop Files folder). If I really need to keep the layer work in a PSD file, then I will use the 'Save As' command from inside Photoshop to save out to a folder and then just trash the file Aperture sent to Photoshop. Although I have not had any real issues with Aperture holding PSD files in the past, I simply trust Adobe to handle their own files without relying on Apple's program to do it for me.
As far as miscellaneous files (screenshots, scans, web icons), I really don't do many of those. I have a few scans which are not part of any project and just keep those in a two level folder (Art / Scans). For web icons, I would probably suggest going with the program you used for a folder (Photoshop Files?). Not sure what program or file type you are using for those (GIF, PNG - I don't work with web design so not real familiar with current practices for icon design for the web).
For JPEG files, I use a second level 'JPEG files' folder for any JPEG's that are used in my design projects in a 'Project 1', 'Project 2', etc. folder (same as the other file types mentioned above). Although, I typically use PSD files as source files and then save out JPEG's on a case-by-case basis (similar to using Aperture as the source and exporting as needed).
Since most of my design files are for InDesign projects, I complete the project by embedding all links in the document after having printed to PDF (and proof-reading prior to embedding). This protects against lost links if I need to work with the master file again for some reason. I can always place a new image or file in the document as needed and since I have a PDF of the file to send to collegues, the extra file size in the InDesign file after embedding is not a big deal.
So, in summary; I use a top level folder (based on category; e.g., Design Files) and then organize by file type parent folders with dedicated project folders under those as needed. Works for the way I think.
I hope that was somewhat clear.

How to enable images in Mail?

I wanted to be able to view images in my email, but it seemed that I couldn't
I have searched the forum - no answer to be found
Apple Mail v 5.3 (1283) What I have is an oblong box containing a blue square with a question mark in it.
I have gone thru every possible setting I can think of (including checking allow remote html images).
The box in the message is not clickable, I don't know if the image is embedded in the message or remote html - I have no way of telling.
Now I will answer - just in case what I found helps anyone else!

You say you have the box checked
You can always try the plug-in "Attachment Tamer" for more control. Free Trial.

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package? Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images. That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space. As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this, how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
any suggestions?

Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ? That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine". Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

Hi,
There is no such PowerShell command can achiev this. Maybe you can use a script to get the user name with folder redirection enabled. However, I am not familiar with writing script, and it would be better for you to ask in script forum below for professional

How do I get high res aperture images on new iPad?

I want high quality images synced from aperture. I bought the new ipad specificaly to do artwork and image maniuplations. I was loving the ipad 2 but working with such low res images won't work for reporduction. I thought with the new ipad when I synced to aperture that I would get higher res files. They look like the same small images to me.

Art,
I'm still working out the details myself, but I may have some helpful information.
If you are syncing through iTunes, then I believe the resolution is dictated by the preview preferences in Aperture. I can't remember what the default setting was, but I changed it to the maximum allowable for the iPad1 some time ago. The new iPad can handle more resolution, so you can change the setting in preferences to a higher level. Here is where it gets tricky, I don't think Aperture automatically updates the preview to the new settings. In fact, I it tells you it is up to date. I got past this by forcing the generate new preview feature (select the photo, hold down the option key, right click, and select generate preview). I suggest doing this with one photo to see how it works for you. Ff you do 1600 like I did, it takes some time. Although, I'm still hoping for better, I can see the difference immediately over my iPad1 settings. I am able to zoom in on the ipad, which much less obvious degradation of the image.
I did get some variation in the preview size, even though the full image sizes are close. My file size ranged from 800K to 2.8M for some sample images transferred to the ipad. This happened at the "no limit"setting in preferences.
As I said, I'm still playing with it. I bought the 64GB model so I could store and present very high resolution photos on the iPad.

How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

Hi,
Can you please tell us your operating system and why you want to burn them to CD.
For example, on a Windows system, if you just want to save a copy of the images to CD then you could use the organizer. Select the images you want to copy, go to the File menu and select Copy/Move to Removable Drive. Do NOT check the Move option as this would the remove the images from the hard drive.

How do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture library

how do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture?

Hello, Patricia,
Do you want to create a new Aperture Library with the images you select or to import them into another existing library?
To create a new library based on selected images use the main Aperture menu:
File -> Export -> Project (Folder, album) as New Library.
To import a part of an Aperture Library into another Library, export the Aperture items as new library, then import that library into the destination library. That way you will ensure, that all versions and metadata are exported.

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

CeliaJane, you need to distinguish between the Aperture Library and the Aperture Application.
Aperture stores your images in a database, and it is this database that we have to find and probably to repair, not the application (hopefully). And since you do not see any images, I suspect that Aperture created a new, empty Aperture Library,and you are now viewing this empty library. Usully the library sits in your Pictures fiolder.
Look into your Pictures folder, if you see a file with a colorful icon with three pictures, called something.aplibrary, as shown above. And also enter ".applibrary" into the "Spotlight" searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. If you have more than one Library, you should be able to find them this way.
The largest file you find will probably be the correct library.
When you have found the correct file called aperturexxxx.aplibrary, try to open it in "First Aid" mode.
Select the Library and press down "command" and "option" key at the same time, while you double click the library.
Now the First Aid dialogue should appear:
Select: Repair Permissions" and see if you can open the Library again. If it did not help, try the other two options in turn.

Just to expand JimHess reply. This are all the EXIF data you can include on a print. As far as I know, WB is not written to any standard EXIF fields.
