Move edited photos between computers

I often edit photos on my Mac Air using aperture while on road. Once home, I need to move those edited photos to my IMAC. How can i move the photos from the Mac Air to the IMAC - retaining the original photos and edited versions?

If you're using Aperture in both locations, then typically you would export the project containing the new files from your MacBook Air and copy it to your iMac, where you would then import it.
Aperure supports this, but you need some sense of sanity about how you do it. If you're editing photos all the time in libraries that started the same on both machines, you won't be able to merge/reconcile the effort.

  • It seems that the new version of iPhoto will no longer share photos between computers on the same network. Can anyone confirm this?

    I have "automatically create previews" in the preferences UNCHECKED. Why is Aperture creating previews? For the screen image?
    You might also need to turn Preview generation off for any existing Projects. Select the Project in the Projects pane and use the cog button at the top of the pane to uncheck 'Maintain Previews For Project'.

    To open photos from Photos in Preview use the Media Browser. You do not need to have Photos open to use the photos inPreview.
    In Preview use the command "Flle > Open".
    The File Chooser dialog will open. Switch the file chooser to columns view and scroll down, until you see the Media section.
    Click the Photos view.
    Select the Photos app and click the disclosure triangle.

  • How do i move adobe licences between computers

    I need to move adobe versions between computers, can I uninstall and re install on the computers I need using the same serial numbers?
    Also Can I also have a record from adobe of what our organisation has purchased?

    You will have to manually transfer the files from one computer to the other using whatever method is easiest for you. (network, DVD, CD, hard drive) Or, put files on network drive. That's what I do.

  • Moving photos between computers

    WHen i travel, i use a laptop to handle my photos.  When i return home i would like to move the pictures to my main computer, but i have already processed them and spent a fair amount of time on them.  How can i move the already processed photos across computers using LR4?
    Thanks! 

    Luiz-
    I do the same thing quite a lot.
    The best thing I can advise you is to start keeping your LR catalog (and previews) in Dropbox.
    Then when you get home, put all the photo files in the hard drive that is your "main" one. Before you do ANYTHING else, wait until you are sure that Dropbox has updated the Main computer. Once you are sure it's updated, open light room and Select > Find > Missing folders and locate them with LR and you're set.
    The only other item that I personally do is when I import the files (either on laptop or desktop), I always create smart previews. Then I can delete the photos from the laptop but still work on them.
    This system has been bullet proof for me, but I frequently make a manual local backup of the catalog so I'll always be covered it I screw up the Dropbox syncs - though the few times I've done that, it was no big deal. LR recognizes that something is amiss and creates a "conflicted catalog" You can figure out what is wrong and redo it and then delete the conflicted catalog.
    Good lucky

  • How to move/share photos between libraries?

    I recently learned how to create a new iphoto library (in addition to my default library) so I can organize my photos into distinct groups. I would like to move some photos from the original library to the new one. How do I do this?
    Thank you!
    CJ

    You can move the photo by exporting it from one library, switching to the second library and importing it- this will not keep faces or all metadata - the best solution to managing multiple libraries is iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  If you want or need multiple libraries it is a great $20 investment

  • Moving some photos between computers

    I have a iMac and a Macbook Air. The iMac has my main iPhoto library. However there are lots of photos on my MacBook also.
    I now want to copy all the photos from the Macbook to the iMac. 90% of them are probably on the iMac already, so those I don't need to copy. Is there a way to move everything from one computer to the other, and have it give me the option of not importing those photos that are already on the iMac (as it does when i import from my camera)?
    My MacBook is out of space which is why I want to move everything, then delete them from the MacBook. But I don't want double copies of hundreds of photos.
    Thanks!!!

    If you import image files to iPhoto 9.5.1 using the command "File > Import to Library", iPhoto will prompt you if you want to import a photo, that is already in your library, but only, if the photos are exact duplicates.  You can then select to apply your preference to all duplicates.
    So, if you export from your library on the MacBook Air to a folder and transfer this folder to your iMac, you will be able to avoid duplicates. It will however only work, if you export the originals and not if you export the edited version. The edited versions will not be duplicates.

  • Move iweb file between computers

    I created a blog website on my laptop and now want to move those files to my iMac.  How do I do that?

    The file you need to move to the other computer is names Domain.sites2 and is located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    If you play on switching computers frequently to maintain the site this online MacWorld article might be of interest to you: Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.

  • SOLVED: How to move XFCE4 config between computers

    Hi
    In a severely optimistic moment I decided to create identical XFCE configs on my laptop and desktop computers, by copying my desktop ~/.config/xfce4 directory to the same location on my laptop. I assumed this would work, but now my panel application launchers, while showing up on the panel, are all broken. They contain no information about the linked application.
    Both my desktop and laptop have the same apps and are running XFCE and Arch.
    Any ideas how I can copy my XFCE desktop/panel from one computer to another? Especially how do I fix my launchers without having to manually recreate all of them?

  • Transferring Adobe Digital Editions content between computers

    I purchased an ebook in .pdf format and installed it on my office desktop computer about a year ago. Today I've installed Adobe Digital Editions on my laptop, copied the ebook to the laptop, and am trying to read it there. No luck. Every time I click on the book's .pdf file, the computer takes me to the Adobe Digital Editions install page. I've authenticated the laptop in Adobe. The ebook does not appear on my Bookshelf.
    Any clues how I access the content that I've already purchased?
    Thanks!

    What is your operating system?  What is your installed Reader version?
    You have downloaded the PDF to your local disk, but when you try to open it, it opens a browser window?

  • Sharing photos between multiple users on one Mac

    I'm trying to figure out how to easily share photos imported in by one user to other users in my family on my mac. I'm assuming we don't have to import them multiple times. It seems cumbersome to this new mac user to share them. I find the issue with iTunes. Any help?

    HI Darien,
    Here are all the links I have for the different kinds of sharing:
    SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
    Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
    You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
    Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
    -both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
    -both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
    -Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
    Sharing links from Apple....

    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • Moving Motion Projects Between Computers

    My apologies, as I'm sure this must have been answered elsewhere - however I can't find the answer, so:
    I'm moving a Motion project between two computers (Project file & media ) - I can do this easily with Final Cut Projects (you just relink the files) however - even when I "relink" the files in my Motion project - my timeline remains empty (unlike FCP, which will show the files):
    What's the best technique to move Motion files between computers?
    Thanks In Advance

    Good tip actually - but sadly, it isn't working that way!
    I don't get it - could there be anything I'm doing wrong in the transfer/copy procedure? Is there some way I can change the mapping/references in the preferences from absolute to relative to the files?
    Thanks in advance
