Move album from one library to another without creating a new project

I accidentally added photos to a new album in the wrong library. I want to move this album with masters and versions to the right library. I exported the album as a project. Then I import the project into the library where I want the album to appear. Importing using either merge or add creates a new project which contains the album. Is there a way to put the album into an already existing project without creating a new one? Using Aperture 3.1.1.

As Frank said, masters and versions all move together. They can't be separated because a version can't exist without a Master file. In fact, when working in RAW everything you see in Aperture is a version since RAW files need to be rendered for onscreen viewing. The masters are on your hard drive somewhere (managed or referenced) and what you see when you import a RAW file is simply an unedited version 1.
This is one of the most important concepts to grasp: you're never actually working with the masters. Aperture is just a big database pointing to files and applying instructions (adjustments) to those files in realtime on your screen.
Just remember that a picture and any of its versions can appear in many albums, in many different places. But as I said earlier, it can only appear in one project. Move a picture from a project and everything follows. Versions are just different renditions of the same master file.
Not sure I'm clear - hopefully I'm helping a bit!

When I move pages from one document to another, it creates a new alternate layout.

Hello,
I'm having an issue with combining some documents. Usually I use the "move pages" command and tell the pages to integrate with another document. However, because of the new alternate layout feature, both documents have the default layouts as "Letter V". So when I move pages from one document to the end of another, it creates a new alternate layout labeled "Letter V2" and "Letter V3" etc. Is there a way to make the pages just go into the main layout of Letter V without creating a new alternate layout? How do I merge alternate layouts created in the integrated document? All documents are the same page size and orientation.
Thank you kindly,
Sheena

Petrill,
Thank you. I was trying to do that yesterday, but it was grayed out. It seemed to work alright today.
Thanks,

Can I move albums from one library to another

I relatively new to Aperture. I have used iPhoto since it's beginning.
I have suceeded in exporting a set of selected Projects from my main Aperture Library to create a new library on another HD. I have a lot of albums (not smart albums) that I use to organize those projects in various ways. How can I also move those albums to my new library on the external HD?
Maybe to explain a bit more. My Aperture Library has grown too large to work with effectively on my MacBook Pro. So I am wanting to split the large library to one for WORK and one for HOME, but also be able to keep the way I have organized those photos for work in albums and the ones I have for home in their albums.
I am not too deep into the project to work it another way, if someone would have some advice on how to split my library and keep my album/folder organization.
Thanks

You can export albums as a new library, just like you exported your projects. Then merge the albums into your library on your other computer.
When you export a selection of albums a a new library, Aperture will export and include the originating projects as well, so the exported library needs to be merged into the destination library, not "added", otherwise you will have duplicates.
For example: Exporting a project with two albums:

How do I move pictures from one library to another?

How do I move pictures from one library to another?

For just a few export them out of Library A via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original and import them into Library B.
However, this will not include any edits or metadata (keywords, titles, etc.) that you've added.
To get the original image, any edits and all metadata, keywords, titles, descriptions, places, etc., you'll need the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It can copy albums or events from one library to another and keep those items I mentioned earlier with the photos.

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original? The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function. Am I missing something? It was so easy with Windows.

Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

Move Photos from one Library to another

How can I move pictures from one library to another in Iphoto 11 ?

1. Export from one, import to the other. Though you will not get all the versions if you do this. You also need to be sure to sue the options in the Expor dialogue to write all the metadata to the files or that won't come over. Note there is no way to export Faces data.
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files and all versions and all metadata - including Faces - between libraries. However this hasn't been fully updated for iPhoto 11 so you'll need to wait a few days.

How do I move photos from one library to another?

I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.

Move file from one library to another library via SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow

Can SharePoint 2010 designer be able to move a file from one library to another using workflow? I tried to use the copy list item but it won't show my destination library. I prefer not to use the 3rd part workflow like

Please advise.

Hi Brain,
From your narration, I undersatnd that you want to move document to another library across site or site collection. However,
the copy list item action is used for coping list item to another library or list in the same site, so you can’t achieve it through ootb workflow action. So to move document to another library across site under the same site collection, then you can use site
content and structure. If across site collection, then I suggest you use that the 3<sup>rd</sup> part workflow action.
For more information about site content and structure,

How to move photos from one library to another?

Hi,
I currently have 2 libraries and I want to move photos from one library into the other.
How do I have to proceed?
Thx
A

We're thinking of adding a library copy feature soon. Hoping you can share some info here to help us understand how this might best work fo you. Here's a few questions I have:
- What do you use the 2 libraries for?
- Why do you want to copy?
- Do you have albums, favorites, and comments associated with the photos? Do you want them copied?
Anything else that you are hoping to accomplish here?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Copy/Move Layerset From One Document To Another Without Flattening

Hello,
Does anyone know how to move a layerset from one document to another using JavaScript ExtendScript, but without having to flatten the layers first as I still need to edit them after the move.
Many Thanks,
James

This requires that you have the the two documents open the first document open is the one you are copying from with the layer/layers selected.
activeDocument=documents[0];
dupLayers();
function dupLayers() {
    var desc15 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref12 = new ActionReference();
        ref12.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
    desc15.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref12 );
        var ref13 = new ActionReference();
        ref13.putName( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), documents[1].name );
    desc15.putReference( charIDToTypeID('T   '), ref13 );
    desc15.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Vrsn'), 2 );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Dplc'), desc15, DialogModes.NO );

How can I move clips from one library to another? Clips are still in original drive and not in new drive.

I am using iMovie 10.0.7 on a 1-week old iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.2. I migrated from iMovie 9 on a 2008 iMac running Snow Leopard and updated the libraries and events, etc.
I have two external drives connected via USB. I want to move / consolidate the library and clips from one of the external drives to the new iMac's 3TB fusion drive. This is to make room on the external drive to run Time Machine backups.
Apple's instructions on managing libraries and moving/copying clips/events tell me to drag to move between libraries and to Option-drag to copy. However, simply dragging only copies. I find that if I Command-drag the events/clips, I can "move" them. But when I look outside iMovie in the Mac OS X Finder, the event folders and clip files themselves are still sitting in the original drive.
I'm very perplexed as to how to really move the clips and event structure. Should I manually copy the clips and event folder structure outside of iMovie? I worry I will mess up iMovie's internal record keeping and folder structure information.
Thanks in advance.

Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
Thanks for your help!

How do I copy an album from one mac to another without duplicating the photos

When I try to copy an album of photos from my wife's mac to mine, I just want the "album". I already have the photos. But I want to have that subset in the order she put them in. However, all I can figure out to do is "copy" that album, importing all the photos again as duplicates, then taking Last Import and making the album from that. And it doesn't necessarily preserve the order that the photos were sorted into. Surely there's an easier way. Is there?

You can not have an album with out haveing the photos so it is impossible to do this
You can use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move albums between iPhoto libraries

How do you move photos from one library to another in iPhoto 9.4.3

I have half 2009 photos in one library and the other half in a different library. I'd like to move several photos to one of the libraries to make a photo book. How do I do this?

use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
Otherwise you can move the image and selected metadate by exporting form one library and importing into th eother
FWIW it is almost always better to have a single iPhoto library with all of your photos in it
