Moving Ref Images in Multiple projects

Does anyone know if its possible to batch move multiple projects of referenced images in one library. I am moving to a bigger external drive and don't want to have to go in to each project and repoint it to the new referenced file location.

Yes,
Just use any view where you can see the images - even a search based on whatever criteria you want, select them all and use file->relocate. The subfolder options will even let you restructure them in various subfolder formats based on date, project name, whatever.
Or...
Just move them outside of Aperture and use file->locate to reconnect them. Personally I would choose option one.
I have a bunch of stuff here on various Aperture topics

Images in Multiple Projects

I want to use some images in more than one project. If I put them in the first project along with all my other images, they can all be seen from the project folder. If I then put them in another project, I can put them in a folder, but not in the project file itself. In order to do that, Aperture says it will move the masters to the new project. This then prevents me from seeing them in the first project file. In both projects, I want to be able to see all the files that are in each project directly.
I hope this makes sense. I will appreciate any help in making this work.
Thanks -

Thanks for answering my question. It seems intuitive that you should be able to have images in multiple projects so that you can open the project and see all the images you are working with. If that is not possible in Aperture, I'm sure I can just work with albums.
The functional ability I really want is to be able to have smart albums in each project that pull their content from all the other albums that are in the project. I realize now that I can accomplish this by using albums rather than projects.

Images in multiple projects or other workflow with a similar result?

Maybe I'm doing this the wrong way, I'm new to Aperture and open to suggestions. What I have is a number of projects each of which contain some images I'd like to submit to a stock site. I thought that the best process would be to create a "Stock photo submissions" project, and copy the images into that. From there I can edit and annotate the photos, for example, noting where they are submitted.
However, when I drag a photo to the project I get a stern-sounding warning about moving the photo. It does seem to still be linked in the previous project. However one day I might clean up the stock project, and it appears that this would delete them altogether?
Suggestions?

Images reside in 1 (and only 1) project.
You can have multiple albums, and albums can hold images from many projects.
However, if I were you, I'd use smart albums to do this instead. What I do is to create a keyword (I use _ISC for "iStock Candidate") for each picture I want to consider submitting to stock. Then I create a smart album for all images with that keyword. Voila, it's easy. No needing to worry about where they are. Any time you want to consider the image for stock, just add the keyword (you can use the keywords bar to simplify this).
I further expand this as such
_ISC - iStock Candidates (reconsider if I want to submit, then adjust and keyword)
_ISS - iStock Submitted (photos I've submitted and am awaiting approval)
_ISR - Photos iStock has rejected (they have a litany of reasons, some frustrating )
_ISA - iStock Accepted -- on iStock and available for sale
To "move" an image from a smart album to another, I click on the new keyword in my keywords panel, and then shift-click the old keyword which removes it from the image. Takes about a second.
I also have codes like this for other stock services -- to ensure I don't submit the same image to multiple services and violate any exclusivity agreements I may have for specific images.
There may be better ways, but using smart albums is very flexible and an easy way to not have to manually do anything other than click a button.

Merged Project - Can you share images between multiple projects/topics without images actually copied into each project?

I have a merged project that I use the same images in several topics in different projects. I use the resource manager but each time these images are being copied into each project. My merged project is getting so large it is taking forever to download. I hope I'm just missing a step to eliminate the redundant usage of these images.

I'm concerned since the complete merged projects have increased in size on a steady basis. For example, January 2014 project size was 288mb and I just published again today and it has increased to 353mb. There are so many images replicated over and over in each merged project. We are getting complainants from our customers on the size of our online documentation. I was hoping for a easy solution and thought this might be the best way.

Topics in multiple projects in RoboHelp 8 are getting crossed over

I have multiple projects I imported/upgraded into RoboHelp 8. Initially when in each project, all topics are correct. But after importing second and subsequent projects, when I go back to the first project, it shows the topics from the last project?? What's going on? I've tried searching to see if this has happened to others, but do not see anything of the like... Any help would be appreciated...

Hi all
Perhaps it will help if we take a moment to understand a bit of the evolution of RoboHelp.
Pull your chairs a bit closer and I'll tell you a story. In earlier years RoboHelp projects were managed by the .MPJ file. Because the MPJ file kept track of all project aspects, it was possible to store as many different projects as you like in the same main folder. This was nice from the aspect of sharing content. You could set things up so that you had common topics and images across multiple projects. If any of them changed, you changed them in any project and they changed for ALL projects using them. Of course this meant you had to recompile or re-generate each project if they changed, but the change actually only occurred once.
Now along comes X5 with a new file structure. XML format. This meant some changes. Unfortunately some changes that effectively blew this manner of working totally out of the water. You may wonder why. Well, it's because while each project is mostly unique, some of the underlying files are rather generically named. For example, you have the ProjectName.XPJ, which is specific to each project, but that XPJ references generic files with APJ (Anaheim ProJect) file extensions. Files such as rhskins.apj, rjsnippet.apj and so on.
My guess as to what has happened here is that with only one instance of these files able to be in a single folder, whoever saved last wins.
What you have ahead of you is the following task.
You need to split the projects into separate folders so that each project is in its own folder.
THEN you upgrade each project.
You should probably begin by restoring from the backup you made prior to attempting the upgrade.
You, ummm, DID make one, didn't you?
Cheers all... Rick

Move images from one project to another

I have just upgraded from ap 1.5 to ap 2. In 1.5, when I moved an image from one project to another, the image was actually removed from the original project and placed in the new project. It has been my habit to upload all the images from a shoot into one project and then sort them into image specific projects; for example all blackbirds into a project labeled "blackbirds", all hawks into a project labeled hawks, etc. Once everything was sorted, the original project would be empty and I could delete it. This does not seem to be the case in ap 2. When I sort the images into their specific projects, they do disappear from the original project and thus I am unable to delete that project. Am I missing something?
Thanks

I had a bit of an unusual situation. I was in fact moving images from a FOLDER to a project in another folder. Turns out that there were albums in a project in the SOURCE FOLDER. I clicked on the folder, not the project, so although moving the images did indeed remove them from the source PROJECT, they remained in the various albums in that source project, still showing up in the SOURCE FOLDER, which is what I was working from, thus the confusion. I bet I won't make that mistake again.
Thanks for the help.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image. When I try to import the folders manually something pops up that says it is incompatable. It is possible to retrieve everything that was lost?

"When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
Brownale6 how can u reload folder in to FCP.
As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
For Event
external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.
For project
external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

Moving images along with project to another drive

I moved several projects (and their related events) to another drive, using Command-drag in the Project window. I answered Yes to "Move Events?". And the video clips and music moved, but not the still images that were used in the project. So, for example, if you open up that project, the timeline shows the thumbnail of the image, but on playback the image is not there. (Titles, music all moved OK).
Is there a way to move or otherwise relink the images to the project? Yikes!

Yes. Use FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

Open multiple images from the project bin

In Elements 9 I can only seem to open 1 image from the project bin at a time! What am I doing wrong?
Bob Dunkerley.

You need to double click on your main image and then drag your second image up from the project bin. That creates separate images on separate layers.

How do I view multiple images from different projects at the same time?

Hello
I've been trying to find the answer in the user manual, but no luck so far.
I did find how to open 2 projects at once, but I can only see one image at a time in the viewer and I have to keep going back and forth between projects to compare images. (These are scans of old photos and I want to eliminate the ones that are poorer quality, so need to compare numerous images from 2 sets of scans)
How can I view an image from one project at the same time as an image from another? I know that it can be done in the same project by apple-clicking the second, third etc image, but this doesn't work if the images are from different projects.
Thank you
Elizabeth

Thank you again Tony
I've now created an album, independent of the projects, and dragged test images into it and it does just the job I needed. Now i just need to keep my brain sorted with which ones are which while i'm working

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.
Regards,
Rainer Joswig

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 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.

Exporting projects that reference images in other projects

Hello, all. I'm wondering if anyone out there has had luck exporting projects that reference images in another project. I've just given this a try, and I get empty images (dotted gray outlines that can't be multi-selected and can't be "managed" as referenced files, even though it knows where the original file should be).
Here's how I have things set up:
1. main project with referenced images
2. secondary project with an album that references images in the main project (secondary project shows 0 images, but album in secondary project shows N images)
I export the secondary project, and import it into another Aperture instance. All images show up as dotted outlines.
Furthermore, if I go into list view, the Activity Monitor does something bizarre. It shows the # thumbnails remaining as a moving target. See the video below for an example.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I do this sort of thing constantly and things a whole lot more complicated. It works fine on all three of my laptops and my macpro. I actually just tried to simulate the exact conditions you describe and I will tell you what happened.
1)Create new empty project in library A called "export"
2)Create new empty album in that project.
3)Dragged multiple images from different projects (all referenced) into that new album.
4)Used file->export project with the consolidate images checked. Imported that project into a new/different library.
All of the images showed up and they all showed up as managed masters as expected. So I then relocated the masters from that project and did the same thing in reverse, back to the old library. I ended up with another project called "export (1)" with all of the images referenced and having nothing to do with the original project or the original referenced masters - as expected.
I did the testing not to figure it out but to validate that nothing had changed or broken since the last update.
You are either not doing what you think you are doing or your library/library is forked - you may want to try a rebuild or just create a brand new set of libraries and try to validate that it will work with a brand new set of libraries to try to isolate the issue to 1 - your existing libraries or 2 - your installation.

Moving Master Images after Facebook Upload

I'm using a fully updated version of Aperture 3 and ran into a problem today moving master images that I have not experienced before. My normal workflow is to batch import images from my camera every few days in one large import, so I often have multiple subjects in every batch. For my 9 months with the program I have always downloaded everything into a temporary holding project I literally call "Hold". When I get the time to do a detailed review, I then delete what I don't want and move (drag) the master images I want to keep from "Hold" into other subject-matter-unique projects across the library. This works for me and has worked flawlessly until today when I downloaded about 20 images. What I did differently today was I took things out of my usual order and decided to quickly upload 3 of the images from the "Hold" folder to Facebook using the Aperture Uploader. The upload went fine, as it has in the past, but the problem surfaced when I then tried to move all the master images out of "Hold" to my permanent library file (project) structure. The 17 images (which were not uploaded to Facebook) moved out to their new projects just fine, as always, but the 3 masters which were the source for the Facebook upload will not allow themselves to be moved out of "Hold". When I drag them to the intended project, Aperture copies them into that project, but the original stays in "Hold." Of course, if I try to then delete what is in "Hold" (with a copy safely filed away elsewhere in the Library) I get the warning that I am attempting to delete a master upon which other versions are dependent (to include "Facebook albums" it says), and all will be deleted.
My take on this is the Facebook upload from "Hold", and the resulting versions created in the Facebook album (far bottom entries on the Library listing), now make "Hold" a permanent home for those associated master images. Is there some way to get around this and actually move the master images to where I want them to be AND to de-clutter the "Hold" folder? Or does this mean any use of Aperture's very handy (at least to date) Facebook uploader permanently glues a master to whatever project it was in when it was uploaded, never to fully and completely move again? Thanks.

I just made a test of this, and can confirm the apparent behavior. However, I examined the Masters folder in the Package of the Library (and I have a Managed Library) and I believe there may be some referencing between Projects taking place. The same appears to result where you have created a slideshow. In the Facebook album and in the Slideshow album, the file info reports the master file name -- in my case the xxxx.NEF file, which clearly none of them really are, but rather some version.
I will try to do a more precise test where I can measure the size of the Masters folder to see if the "Move" adds to its size by an amount equal to the size of the Master file.
Interesting!
