How to export both masters and versions w/ metadata?

When traveling I import photo files into Aperture on my laptop and edit them.  When I get home I would like to export "everything" - masters, versions, and metadata, so that I can then import all of this into Aperture on my desktop.  Or, perhaps there is another way to transfer all of this information into Aperture on my desktop?  The export menu seems to give only the option to export either masters or versions, but I want to basically duplicate on my desktop a particular project from my laptop.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

You get the option to either add the contents of the being-imported Library to the being-imported-into Library, or to merge the contents.  In neither case is the being-imported-into Library replaced.
It is always a good idea to maintain a practice Library of a few hundred images, and to use it to try out any actions you fear might destroy your work.
There is an entire chapter in the User Manaul on using Library files.  It is part of the general introduction to Aperture (viz.: the first seven chapters), all of which is recommended reading as it provides the foundation needed to achor your exploration of the rest of this complex, powerful program.
What you want to do is part of that power -- it is specifically provided as a feature of Aperture:
This is particularly useful if you use a portable computer when on location or away from your studio, and a workstation at your studio. Any work done in the field can be exported from your portable computer as a library file and then merged with the library file on the workstation at your studio.
In your case, either export everything ("Export→Project as New Library") from the "field" computer, or simply import the entire "field" Library.  The details of the workflow are up to you to determine.  They will likely depend on what Images you want to maintain on your "field" computer -- whether that Library is a one-time only collecting basket, or is used for processing or showing Images collected on previous excursions.

  • Exporting masters and versions

    I am trying to export photos from Aperture to an external drive just as jpegs and raws, not as library. So first I exported versions, now I am exporting masters and trying to put them to the same folders (to keep all versions of the same photo together) and it turns out that Aperture gave the same names to masters and versions which makes it impossible to save them to the same folder. Any advice here?...

    By the way - Aperture creates thousand os versions for the same photo. Is there a way to delete duplicates after exporting (it gives them different names)?
    ?!? No it doesn't. Where are these thousands of Versions coming from? Are they from 'create new versions when making adjustments' which you can turn off? Are new Versions appearing when you export? This statement doesn't make sense.
    JaneTsv wrote:
    I see... Looks like apple did their best to keep people from moving from Aperture to other programs...
    Step 1. Select all Versions in the Library.
    Step 2. Export Versions using a Project Name subfolder format.
    Step 3. Export Masters using a Project Name subfolder format.
    There is no step 4. That's all there is to it.
    You end up with a Finder folder for each Project, containing both the Master files, plus Versions in whatever file format you chose.
    If you're having huge problems with lots of duplicate Masters from Aperture exporting a copy for each Version, it's still only a three step process:
    Step 1. Select all Versions in the Library.
    Step 2. File>Relocate Masters... using the Project Name subfolder format. This will move all the Masters out of the Library package and into a regular folder structure.
    Step 3. Export Versions using a Project Name subfolder format into the same top-level folder.
    Again, no step 4, you're done.

  • Importing Masters and Versions from iPhoto

    Is it possible to import both Masters and the associated Adjusted Versions from iPhoto into Aperture 3?
    The manual tells how to import the masters into the Aperture library but does not seem to tell how to import the corresponding versions adjusted in iPhoto.

    In iPhoto all images are masters in a sense. When you adjusted an image in iPhoto a duplicate image was made and the adjustments were done to the duplicate giving you two separate files.
    When you import your iPhoto library into Aperture these two files (the original and the adjusted image) are two separate files as far as Aperture is concerned. Aperture will keep them together and apply keywords to each to help you sort it all out once you running the Aperture library but they will not have the same master version relationship that masters and versions created in Aperture have.
    So when you import your iPhoto library all images will come over, you don't need to do anything special to get the adjusted images.

  • Exports both JPG and a copy of the NEF

    I was playing with some settings and where before LR 5.6 exported only JPG files, it now exports both JPG and a copy of the NEF file. How do I just export the JPG and not both? What do I shut off?

    I was doing some tests and, being lazy, rather than import a file from a flash card, I imported from a subfolder in my work folder where I keep the RAW files from a shoot named “RAW”. Usually, the files are imported into this “RAW folder from the flash cards. Apparently, if the NEF file you are importing is already in the folder you are saving to (“RAW”), LR saves to the root directory (“work” folder) which is where I normally export my edited LR files. There needs to be a dialog box come up that says your are saving to the same folder or something to that effect. Goes to show – never try to work late at night when you are tired.
    Long story short, LR was NOT exporting JPG or TIFF files along with the NEF file. The NEF file was copied to the work folder on import. Goes to show – never try to work late at night when you are tired.

    Hi Senthil,
    If you are using smartforms, have a character format created for BOLD and apply it to the text you want to highlight. The remaining text of the line could be applied with a Character format which is not highlighted.

    The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
    If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.

  • ST03 Export: How to export all instances and task types?

    I am exporting ST03 data using SAP GUI

    Also, when I export to a text file, there is a header that reports the instance, data, and task type. When I export to excel file I only get the table, not the header info. Is there a way to to get the header info into the excel export?
    Is this the appropriate forum for these questions?

  • Can I export masters and versions during the same export?

    All,
    Is there a way to export a master and it's versions at the same time?
    If I have a master called 'waterfall.nef' and I have a couple of 5* versions of that master, I would like the resulting export to look like the following in the target folder:
    [image date] waterfall1.nef
    [image date] waterfall2.tiff (or .jpg)
    [image date] waterfall3.tiff (or .jpg)
    This way, I keep the master and the resulting 'picks' grouped together in my main library. (I plan on only keeping current year images in the aperture library. Older images will be exported to my main library and referenced in Aperture.)
    Thanks for any suggestions,

  • Batch rename masters and versions

    Like a dummy, I imported a huge photo shoot without using the easy re-naming.
    Now, I want to rename every photo. I want to keep the numerical order, as it is critical for organizing the project photos. I want the Masters to be renamed (and I assume then that the versions just stay "version1" etc...). I have all my photos in stacks by master and version (not different masters).
    How can I batch rename, keeping the sequential order that is already there.
    (I have read the manual. I have searched on this forum. I still am a little unclear and, hence, the question.)
    Thanks in advance!

    If the images are referenced to an external location (outside Aperture's Library) then you can easily renaming them using Automator.
    Copy all the images you are going to rename to a temp location. Just in case something goes wrong.
    With Aperture closed open Automator, in the finder select all the images you need to rename and drag them to the right part of automator's screen. Now on the very left part select Finder, on the second column, near the bottom drag the rename finder items action to the right part, just under the window with all your images listed. Click on don't add so it will just rename the files (you made a copy previously). Select replace text and enter the old and new text. That way it will keep the numerical part of your files.
    Press play and wait for the action to finish.
    Check in the finder that the files have been renamed properly.
    Open Aperture and go to the project with those images. If the masters can't be found go to File/Manage Referenced files... and in there you can reconnect to the right location. Usually this step won't be needed unless you move the masters to a new location.

  • Deleting Masters and Versions and pics duplicating as versions

    I'm working with a small library of some flower images and had done a 'quick and dirty' auto adjustment and easy rating [4]; then I went back and on the Versions [selected Adjustments are Applied to have only the versions show up in browser] noted some are Rejects [X]. I thought I could then delete the two images, one master and one version.
    But, when I go in to delete the Master it just does it = without a warning [I have show warning selected in prefs] - but when I go in to delete a =Version 2 it gives me the Delete Masters Warning....in other words, Aperture is treating Versions like Masters and Masters like Versions.
    Also when I go into List view to check things I find Master is [for instance] 9.47mb but so is Version 2 the same size = in other words when I do an adjustment and create a Version it's not just creating small kb size versions via data but is actually duplicating and then applying the adjustment.
    These are pics in the library not referenced.
    [I'd put a picture here but don't know how and hope my description makes sense]

    Thanks = I reread it and am thinking of the images in that way. As I tried to explain, In the library were images which I reviewed and made adjustments to [auto adjustment plus rating]. Then I did a filter to show only Versions [in which images that show are where adjustments were applied] so that only Versions would so up, marked some as Rejects with X and planned to delete those but not the masters for them.
    When I would go to delete the Version [its name would have Version 2 in it], it was treated as if it was a Master and the Delete Masters warning would come up. But when I would go to delete a Master [not a version] no such warning would come up at all even if there were a version and master associated together.
    I went to List view to check and be sure and what I am seeing is that the Master has 9.4 mb in size but the Version which was created by the auto adjustment + rating ends up also with 9.4mb and not just a few K for the data -- so that what appears to me to be happening is that the Master image is, in fact, being duplicated and not just having data changes applied = there is no size differential between the Master and the Version, in other words.

  • Export both current and original photos (without dupes)

    I want to export a large number of photos from iPhoto. iPhoto lets me export either the "current" version with edits, or the "original" version as imported from the camera.
    Most of my photos don't have edits, but I want to export both version for photos that do. If I just run the export twice, once for current and once for original, I'll end up with a bunch of duplicate photos.
    Is there a way to export all the current photos, plus the originals but ONLY when the original is different (i.e., the photo has been edited)?

    Export the originals for all photos.
    Then create a smart album with the rule "Photo is Edited".
    For the photos in this album export a full sized JPEG version of the edited photo-
    Added:
    Kind "Current" will give you the current preview image. The quality is not as good as exporting the original. That is why I recommend to export with "Kind Original" for all photos and "Kind JPEG, Full Size, High Quality" for the edited photos to save the edited versions as well.

  • How to print both letter and legal size docs at same time with two trays

    I have an HP Laser Jet P2055dn printer. How can I print both letter and legal docs at same time?

    Not quite sure what you mean by "print both letter and legal docs at same time".
    If you mean that sometimes you want to print a document on Letter size paper, and at other times you want to print a different document on Legal sized paper, then all that is neccessary is to ensure that:
    The printer knows what Paper Size (e.g. Letter or Legal) is present in each tray; on many LaserJet devices, the size is detected automaticaly by sensors in each tray (except for the drop-down tray), but some devices may require that you set the size via front panel menus, or (for network models) via the Embedded Web Server equivalent.
    You may also need to specify what Paper Type (e.g. Plain or Letterhead) is present in each tray, in order to distinguish between two or more trays which have the same paper size loaded.
    Within your appllcation / print preferences, ensure that you select the required combination of size and type for the document.
    But if you mean how do you print a document with some pages on one size of paper, and other pages on a different size, this may only be possible with bespoke applications and/or printer drivers.

  • How to export a user and their schema from one 10g database to another?

    Hi,
    I would like to export a user and their entire schema from one 10g database to another one. How do I do this?
    thx
    adam

    If you want to export a user and the schema owned to the user, and import to the same user in a different database, or a different user in the same database, you can use the exp and imp commands as described in the Utilities manual.
    These commands are very versatile and have a lot of options - well worth learning properly. To give you a simplistic shortcut, see below - I create a user 'test_move', create some objects in the schema, export, create a new user in the database 'new_move' and import.

    There are many variations on the theme ...
    You can simplify this. You can select tables individually. You can use a parameter file. You can transport all the constraints and data. You can skip the data and only move the definitions. You can get some help (imp/exp help=yes).
    And, if it's all 10g, there is a new and improved facility called expdp/impdp (dp = data pump) which has a lot more capability as well, including direct transfer (no intermediate file) together with suspend/restart. Also documented in the Utilities manual.
