Merge JPEG and RAW after import from iPhoto

Hi,
camera is set to shoot JPEG + RAW, iPhoto manages after import from camera as two separate files.
I want to transition from iPhoto to Aperture.
After importing from iPhoto into Aperture, is there any chance to merge the files in a way similar to how Aperture merges jpeg + raw when importing directly from camera?
Thx
Axel

When I click on Faces, it's empty, the import from iPhoto forget to import faces?
Hello Kris,
How did you imort from iPhoto? If you import using the Aperture Apllication menu
     File -> Import -> iPh.oto Library
then all your Faces should be transferred from iPhoto.
Which of the two buttons in Aperture do you use to show your "Faces"? There is the "Faces" button in the Library panel and the "Faces" Button in the Toolbar. Both behave differently. The "Faces" button in the Library panel  will reveal all faces, whereas the "Faces" Button in the Toolbar will only show the faces detected in the in the currently selected item (folder, project). So it may appear that faces are missing, even if they are included in the Aperture Library.

  • RAW JPEG PROBLEM  I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
    Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture.  What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

  • Why is my library 200+GB bigger after importing from Iphoto to Aperture

    I recently got a new imac and decided to start using Aperture to manage my huge library. Previously I was using Iphoto 9 in Mountain Lion. My original Iphoto library is 687GB. I exported it to my external drive and works great from there.
    Now I have the new Imac with Mavericks and just got Aperture 3.5.1. I have opened the iphoto library original in this new computer and it upgraded to the new version of Iphoto that I have here (9.5.1). Everything looks good.
    From my understanding this is a managed library since I only exported the library file and everything is there.
    After making sure the iphoto library file was working well I decided to go ahead and import to aperture. I decided to do this since I thought it would be a much better way to go with such a big library. The original iphoto library has around 9,200 photos and videos.
    I created a new aperture library in another big external drive (Drobo) and imported the original to Aperture doing File - Import- Library and choosing the original located in an external drive.
    After 24hrs of working finally I can see the new library appear in Aperture. One problem I have is that it is going extremely slow compared to the same library in Iphoto, but that is another topic.
    In the new aperture library I see the exact same amount of pictures and projects appear however the library appears to be 930GB. According to what I have read in other discussions I have tried to find in Aperture using the keyword search to see how many of these photos/videos have a keyword of iphoto original (vs new masters that could have been created from edited versions of the originals. If I do "iphoto original" in my search nothing appears (although it keeps "processing" the search after a couple of hours (yes, that is how slow it is working now). Is that already something wrong? Is this keyword added automatically when you import from Iphoto?
    I would really like to fix this since I still have two other libraries (37GB) that I would like to merge with this one. Is that crazy? Could I expect such a big library to work well? I am new to Aperture but so far I am not impressed at all.
    The only file I have to work on is the one I have in the external drive since I already got rid of the old computer....
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Would appreaciate any help.
    Thank you!

    Your library is big, but nothing out of the ordinary and well within Apertures capabilities.
    It's hard to say definitively why the library has grown so, but ultimately it won't matter, once you have your library working well and you configure Aperture how you want it to operate, and you tidy up any unwated artefacts from the import, your library size will become exactly the size it needs to be.
    There are a number of possible explanations for why things are going slow.
    First, check how you have formatted your Drobo storage. The file system requirements for Aperture are described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3252
    Next, having chosen to import your iPhoto Library, you have essentially created a new environmet with its own preferences controlling things like previes, faces, places and so on. These could explain both the size and any (temporary) performance issues.
    With Aperture running, press SHIFT+CMD+0 (zero). This will show you the activity window so you can see if Aperture is performing any follow-up tasks relating to the import such as building previews, building thumbnails, detecting faces and son on.
    If so, allow it time to finish. Once it's finished all the post import activity, it will settle down and begin to operate in a more optimised fashion.
    Depending on the history of you old iPhoto library, there could be some clean-up work do in terms of edited copies of originals. Old versions of iTunes used distructive edits, meaning you got an edited copy of your original. Aperture doesn't work this way and you will need to decide if you want to keep those (for example stack them with tier orginals) or if you want to redo any of them using Apertures non-destrutive tools. Later versions of iPhoto used a similar non-destructive approach which will carry over, so it's just any very old edits you may have to make descisions for.

  • Faces gone after import from iPhoto

    When I click on Faces, it's empty, the import from iPhoto forget to import faces?
    Also, I can start adding names to faces, but then after a while, I'm not asked to assign any more names and I only have 12 faces but there should be many many more?
    But the most important question remains : how to get my Faces from iPhoto?
    Thanks,
    Kris

  • After importing from iPhoto, how would you eliminate the photos?

    I have installed Aperture adn like it quite a bit. I imported from iPhoto (which copies over the pictures...not move.)
    I have backed up the photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive in case Aperture blows up on me and I need to go back to iPhoto. But now that I have done that, what is the suggested way to get all those pictures out of iPhoto? so I can get back that disk space.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what's wrong with simply deleting and then emptying the trash?

  • Missing photos after importing from iPhoto

    I have a big iPhoto library that span from 2002 until today.
    Launching Photo for the first time started the import of the default iPhoto library, when finished the problem is not everything has been imported.
    I have not done photo by photo check, but for instance all 2014 photos are missing and since I see less photo in previous years and in 2015 also photos from other years are missing.
    I can't reimport the iPhoto library (I have not been able to find how), so my question is how can I import the whole iPhoto library to Photos?

    First off that is a bad practice - never have any computer program delete things - import photos and keep them - after at least one successful backup cycle has taken place and you are sure your photos are safely on the Mac and backed up then use the camera's format command to erase and reformat the card
    You can try to backup your iPhoto library and hold down the option and command keys while launching iPhoto - repair permissions and rebuild the database form the resulting first aid window - that may recover your photos - if it does not then photo recover software like media recover is the next step

  • Dates Under Project After Import from Iphoto

    Is anybody else having this bug?
    After importing my library from iphoto, the dates shown under the projects are not showing a 'to' date!
    They are ok when the project is on one date, and they show the 'from' date, but never a 'to' date!
    Anybody else?

    It sounds as though you may have imported the thumbnails but I can't imagine how.
    It all depends on what you mean by very low quality.
    Your iPhoto  pictures will be around 4,000x3,000 pixels but when they are imported into a standard def timeline they will be around 720x540 which is a tremendous reduction.
    They should still look OK but not  as good as the brilliant hi-res originals.

  • Problems "locating" referenced files after importing from iPhoto.

    I recently began importing old iPhoto libraries to Aperture, mostly successfully, but have run into a couple problems locating referenced files. While the locate referenced files function worked for most of the photos, there are a handful of photos that, when I located the original file,  the time stamp was different (by 2 hours in most cases) and it was about 15% smaller than the file Aperture was looking for. As a result, even though it was clear from the thumbnails that they were the same images, Aperture doesn't even give me the option to Reconnect them.
    Aperture 3.4.5
    OS X 10.7.5

    . I use the Reconnect All button, but it only finds the one file, even when there are hundreds more in the same folder that are unlinked.
    Reconnect all works best, if you select all files that need reconnecting at once, and then select the first file in the list to reconnect. If the other files are in the same folder and are correctly named and match, then "reconnect all" should do it. But if the filenames differ, you will have to do it one by one.
    Also,  the files are all still correctly linked in iPhoto, but every single link is broken once I import it to Aperture.
    You are importing with "File > Import > Library", correct?
    That is supposed to work. Have you tried to repair your iPhoto Library before importing to Aperture?
    Use iPhotos First Aid Tools to repair:
    Try to repair the permissions, followed by repairing the library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools,  hold down the Command and Option keys ⌥⌘ while double-clicking the iPhoto library or the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
    The iPhoto Library First Aid dialog appears.  Select the Repair option you want to use - first "permissions", then "database".

  • After importing from iPhoto, Originals are still in the iPhoto Library

    I have imported my iPhoto library in the Aperture but when I look to see where the originals actually reside I see that they are still saved in the iPhoto Library directory structure.
    How can I make sure that all the previous iPhoto pictures have the master copy in the Aperture?
    Please advise. Thanks.

    Be careful about deleting the iPhoto library. iPhoto supports videos and several image formats Aperture does not support. If you delete the library you will lose them. Aperture will tell you that there are items it could not import, but it will not tell you what they are!

  • Some photos dont work after importing from iPhoto 4?

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded from iPhoto 4 to iPhoto 6. I updated my library by copying the iLife 04 photo library to my new iMac. When I opened up iPhoto 6, it updated the library, and everything worked fine, or it seemed. All the pictures and thumbnails were there, but on around 1/3 of the pictures, I only have a thumbnail. If I click on the thumbnail, the picture never loads. On ones with a picture it loads very fast.
    Any ideas?
    I have the library backed up on DVD, so im not worried about losing the data, just want it to work.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Adam:
    It may be an ownership/access problem. Manually set the ownership and access on the iPhoto Library folder as follows:
    Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
    1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
    2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
    3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
    See if that may help. If not try selecting one of the files in the Original folder and type Command-I to bring up the Info window. In that window set Preview as the default application and click on the Apply to all button. Good luck.

  • Blank album after import from iphoto

    after try to open one of my iPhoto library (500gb) in new photo apps....
    it take some time to update and then later on it show blank album of photos which is ready to import and none of the pictures is there

  • External pictures only on low resolution after import from iPhoto to Photos

    Moved to the new Photos app. All pictures that were in my iPhoto library file are OK but the pictures that were stored outside the library folder are visible only on very very poor resolution (looks like only the thumbnail was imported and shown on full size, very pixelated). This is quite disappointing. Tried the File->Consolidate menu option to copy the picture to the library but that didn't help either.
    When I import them again they come back in high resolution, but I got them all nicely grouped into Events in iPhoto and don't want to loose that.

    Delete the migrated version, repair the Library with iPhoto and try again.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • After import from Iphoto some pictures are of very low quality. The original file in Iphoto is very good.

    I imported several pictures by using Iphoto. Some of them, not all, are of very low quality even if the original file is of a very good quality.

  • IMovie '11 won't let me detach audio after importing from iPhoto.

    The option is gray in the menu. I selected the clip I wanted, but it's still not letting me proceed. Any thoughts?

    You are not missing anythng. The way to do it is to select the clip and then go to the Advanced menu and select Extract Audio. That's exactly what you are doing.
    If it is not working, then probably your iMovie preferences have become corrupted. I suggest that you try the oft recommended maintenance procedure of deleting preferences and then doing a permissions repair.
    To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then repair permissions by using the Disk Utility app on your Mac, which is located in the Utilities folder. Click on Disk Utility and then select your hard drive icon located in the pane on the left side of the Disk Utilty window. Then click on repair permissions and wait 3-4 minutes for the permissions to be repaired. Then relaunch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted.
    Make sure that you have sufficient disk space for iMovie to operate: 20 GB is often recomended on this site.
    Make sure that all iLife programs are updated to current.
    Hopefully that will solve your problem.
