Moving images from project to project

Every time I try to MOVE an image from one project to another project, it COPIES it instead. That's not what the manual says should happen. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, Fran

Welcome to the list. Have you read the [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] section yet?
The only way you would be coping from project to project is if you were holding down the option key while you dragged the image.
If that's not the case then it really sounds like either the source or destination (or both) are other than projects. Remember projects are the yellow file box looking things.

  • Bulk opening images from an indesign project in photoshop.

    I want to quickly open all the images from an indesign project in photoshop so that I can save them for use on the web. Is there a quicker way to do this than just clicking "edit in" on each individual image? I am using indesign CS4 and photoshop CS5
    Thank you!

    You could perhaps use the copy links to folder command (which will change the links in the doc to the copied location, so maybe not a good idea) or package the file to create a links folder (and you can throw away the package when your done), then run a batch on the folder from Photoshop.

  • How did I export a High-Res image from my FCP Project?

    I know how to export still images using Quicktime Conversion. But it is possible to export High Resolution images from my FCP Project. You help would be much appreciated

    Wow man, that's not the most efficient way to get stills. You can do this in FCP, it's easy. Here is what you do....
    Go to EXPORT and then USING QUICKTIME CONVERSION
    You will see a dropdown box in the right corner that says FILE FORMAT. Change that to STILL IMAGE.
    Underneath you can choose which type of still Image you would like to convert the frame to (JPEG, PIC, PSD, etc) You can also change the quality
    Hope this helps.

  • Moving image from one project to another

    Hi all. I'm sorry if this is simple to do, but I can't figure it out. I have recently purchased Aperture 3 and am trying to figure out how to move an image from one project to another. I had several photos on my camera, and imported them this morning into it's own project. Now, I would like to take some of those photos and put them in my "family" project, and some into my "dogs" project, etc. When I open up the new project, I can't find where I can move them to another project. I have to assume this is doable, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    Sorry to be a complete idiot, but here's my issue. When I open the original project, and then find the image that I want to move, I am unable to see any other projects (in browser view), so I have nowhere to drag them to. I hope that makes sense and you can help.
    Thanks again.
    Dale.

  • Library corruption after moving images from one project to another.

    Hi,
    I have Aperture 1.5 running on a PowerMac G5. I'm using an external disk (via FW800) for the library. The disk catalog has no problems.
    Today I want to reduce the number of projects and move a few images between projects. There is one project with a few hundred files where I wanted to move a large subset to another project. I selected the images in the source project and dragged them onto the other project. Some processing happened and after a few seconds I got a dialog which said that some problem with the library happened and that I have to quit Aperture and restart Aperture with control-shift-option. There was only an okay button and the next (same dialog) appeared... and again/again... Finally I was able to quit Aperture and restart Aperture.
    After restarting Aperture several images in the source project were grey with a question mark and a link icon in the lower left.
    Looks like Aperture cannot move images reliably between projects. That would be a huge bug.

    Hi Rainer,
    Have you tried again to rebuild your Library
    (Option/CMD on relaunch)? THis might fix the grey
    images in the souce location. Where the images which
    were dragged to the other Project OK? What hapens if
    you make an adjustment on one of the grey images?
    Does it render the thumbnail?
    Also, check you task manager to make sure it's still
    not trying to render the thumbnails. Though, it's
    most likely not the case given the question mark on
    the image.
    I did the library rebuild now. The problems seem to have gone.
    Then I also copied a few more pictures between projects. So far
    the problem has not shown again.
    Best Regards,
    Rainer Joswig

  • Moving images from one library to another; or how to have 2 libraries open at the same time in Aperture 2

    This may be something easy but for some reason I am having a hard time figuring this out. Basically this is the situation: I have a library on my MBP hd that I import pictures to when I am not hooked up to my external hd for the time being. The main library is of course on the external 2tb drive. How do I have 2 libraries open so that I can essentially drag and drop the pictures from one library to another? It would basically be like moving files from one project to another. Thanks for any help!

    Always keep a backup of your original images, before you delete them. I make a backup right form the card, before I even import them to Aperture.
    How are your images stored right now? Are the referenced or managed? On your big volume I'd consolidate the newly imported images, to be sure they are really inside the Aperture library before I delete any images outside the library.
    but they have the little yellow triangle caution symbol on them and I can see them but not really edit them
    That is a very typical problem, when you imported your images as referenced images then somehow delete or move the original master image files, that are stored outside the Aperture library.
    Do you still have the original masters of the images with the yellow triangle that you cannot edit? In Aperture 3 you can point Aperture to the location of the master image file "File >Locate referenced image" - probably Aperture 2 has a similar command to let you reconnect your masters, if you still have them. Look into the manual.

  • Moving Image from one Review to Another?

    I attempted to upload an image (open in Photoshop) to a specific review. However, I could not see the desired review in the Photoshop CS Review panel. Out of frustration - after attempting to "find" the desired review for several minutes - I uploaded the image to another review and then went online, using Safari, to Acrobat.com.
    There is no visible means of moving an image from one review to another. There is a way of dragging one review (with all sub-images) to another location. But I can't see a way of moving a sub-image from one review to another review.
    IF there is some "magic" that someone knows I would sure appreciate some education.

    This works quite well for a single image review. I've moved them from one workspace to another. The issue is when a review has multiple images and you want to take only one of them from that review and move it to another review in another workspace; I can't seem to get that to work at all.
    When I open a review and navigate to the desired image, then click in the lower left corner and select a new workspace to move the image to, it moves the entire review - not the single image - to the new workspace.
    I guess I could delete the "part" from the workspace it currently exists in and then create it as a stand alone review, but then I won't be able to imbed it into another review as I want to do.
    The source frustration here is that I can't get CS Review in CSPS5 to navigate to the desired workspace/review. I get "ALL REVIEWS" displayed but not the workspaces... Any ideas on how to display workspaces instead of reviews?

  • Moving images from external HD to internal - lost metadata (mac)

    got myself in a bit of a pickle here...
    got a new imac - and upgraded from LR2 to LR4
    all images are stored on an external hard drive - i *want* all of my pictures on the internal HD
    so i copied the pictures folder to the internal HD - opened LR4, updated the catalog file (moved it from the extHD - pointed it to the new location on the internalHD)
    apparently the lrcat file didn't get informed though - i had blank spaces in grid-view where there used to be pictures
    so.. jiggered around with it until it found all the pictures (they appeared in grid view) - except, now there were alternating picture/blank-spaces
    i discovered a way to "find" all the missing pictures - then "removed" them
    unfortunately, when we checked our work, we found that the meta-data didn't come with the pictures that remained - so, no stars, tags, flags, etc.......
    good thing is.. i still have the original files and LRCAT file on the extHD
    can somebody help me right this ship??
    (i think i want to just uninstall LR4 and start all over)

    Obviously you can just use the Finder to copy the external iPhoto Library to your new Mac Pro. You should change the name of it first so you don't get the two mixed up or accidentally replace one with the other.
    If you want the old and new photos in a single library you have a couple of choices. The free choice would be to import the "several images" from the MacPro's current library into the external library.
    An easy way to merge two libraries is to use iPhoto Library Manager. It's available here: http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
    It has some functions in the free download version but more advanced functions require the US$19.95 shareware fee.

  • Moving images from 1  catalog into another/book

    I am creating a photo album via LightRoom and Blurb.  I have ~ 250 of my images available to me in this catalog.  I am trying to move an additional 50 images from a different catalog (or Quick Collection) into the book catalog.  Can someone please tell me how?

    I may be misusing my terminology.  To hopefully better summarize:  I have ~300 images from a collection (called Myanmar slideshow).  I created a book from this collection.  Only 240 of the images transferred (I understand due to limits by Blurb to 20-240 images).  I then manipulated the book pages, so there were multiple images per page.  This reduced the number of pages to ~95.  That would theoretically allow me 145 more pages in the end.  So I have 55 images from the original collection (slideshow) that I would now like to add to the book (this book is now a collection?).  I have tried click and drag, import from another catalog.  If any one knows how to move it over, I would greatly appreciate it.  If blurb would allow me to create a second album and then they combine them, that would work for me, but I can't seem to communicate with a human on that end.  Thanks in advance for your advice.

  • Moving images from LR 4 to Photoshop CS 6

    I cannot move my images from lightroom 4 to photoshop cs5.Iam using a Nikon D600.Other images shot on other camers I can move.

    The D600 is supported from Lightroom 4.3 and ACR 7.3 (which requires PS CS6). The ACR version in CS5 (the latest being 6.7) doesn't support it.
    You can get around that using the free DNG converter, which will convert the files to the universal DNG format, readable by any ACR/Lr version. Other than that, see >this< thread.

  • Moving images from ip4 albums to ip5c ? can only seem to move images in the camera roll

    I,m trying to move images from an iphone 4 ( camera roll and other albums) to a new iphone 5c.
    Cannot seem to move the album images over....
    Is there an easy way to do this ?
    regards

    Photos NOT in your camera roll got onto your iPhone by synching from your computer.  You need to synch those very same photos from your computer to your new phone.  You don't move them from one phone to another.

  • Collecting images from imovie/idvd project

    Though now I know I should have collected all images in a folder before using in imovie project, is there any way to collect them back from the project now. I wanted to put all images used on a disc for my records....
    thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks. I thought that was part of the problem. I had done that because I don't have an iLife '05 disc. All I have is my powerbook G4 install disc. Can I use this disc on my Desktop?
    If not is there any way I can burn my video project with the older software on the desktop?
    Thanks

  • Imovie 11: When moving clips from event to project, the top of the video clip is cut off.

    I'm working with a new project. When I add clips from an event to the project window, the top of the video clip is cut off.  Quite a bit of it is cut off.  It happens on every clip.  The aspect ratio is correct and I've set the video to fit in frame.  How can I fix this?  I would really appreciate any help.

    You may have stabilization turned on in the project. On one of the clips, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip and select Clip Adjustments. In the Inspector that opens, uncheck the box "Smooth Clip Motion" against Stabilization. If this fixes it for you, do the same for the other clips.
    Also, it's a good idea to turn off certain preferences in iMovie>Preferences (an iMovie menu item). In the Browser tab uncheck the boxes for both "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed" and "Apply rolling shutter correction for clips that have been analyzed". See this picture:
    The stabilization process causes a zoomed in effect on the video, as it has to "average" the pixels in order to smooth any shaky motion. You therefore lose a certain amount of the picture, depending on the extent of stabilization applied. Here's what iMovie Help states (in part) about this process:
    "iMovie stabilizes video by analyzing the camera motion in the video and then moving the picture the opposite way to steady it onscreen. In this process, iMovie zooms in on the picture slightly. The amount of unstable motion in the clip determines how much zooming is necessary.
    Zooming in crops out some of the picture, but you can fine-tune the level of stabilization to strike the right balance between keeping the video steady and retaining as much of the picture as possible."

  • Quality issue when moving clips from events to project

    When I drags clips or parts of clips from events to my project, the quality drops significantly (blocking).
    Original clip (H264 encoded SD video) is fine, when imported into imovie it is still fine when skimmed/viewed in the event but as soon as draged into the project, the quality is bad (when skimmed/viewed in the project) and blocking occurs, especially in dark parts of the video. Of course this bad quality remains on the exported video :-(((
    Any idea where this might come from and how to overcome it ?
    Thx for your support

    Apologies for bumping this again, but I'm getting the same issue and I'm wondering if it's the original HD files that are incompatible in imovie. It's odd that only a few of us are reporting it.
    I'm capturing HD video in mov format (motion jpeg) from a panasonic FZ5 still camera. The footage has been imported via iphoto. It's 30fps - not the native uk frame rate - but I can't change this on the camara. When I edit in imovie, I get the same massive drop in quality as soon as I move an event to the timeline. Blocking especially on blocks of colour. This happens on playback from the timeline within imovie and on export. I've tried creating a project in both pal format and ntsc in case the frame rate is the issue. No joy. In Final cut the problem seems not to exist, but I'd prefer to manage these very simple home movies in imovie.
    I'm now wondering whether to switch to a different still camera like the newer panasonics or sony hx5 as these capture in avchd (presumably 25/50 fps if sold in uk) and might get over the problem. any thoughts?
