My Photos library appears to be half the size of the Aperture library.

I think this has been addressed, but want to be sure my understanding is correct.  Is it because Photos only imports the original, and not any edited Photos?  If so, what happens if the original was deleted in Aperture and only the edited image was kept?

If so, what happens if the original was deleted in Aperture and only the edited image was kept?
There is no way to do this in Aperture... How did you go about it?

  • I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

    I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
    I can't access these images except to go into the applications. 
    Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive.  I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space.  Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use. 
    As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb.  Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
    So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
    -select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    -eliminate dups but maintain organization
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    -live happily ever after
    Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

    If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
    So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit Aperture
    2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Referenced -  relocate your Masters first.
    These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an  iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    You can't. Every photo is in a Project.  They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
    You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app  you've purchased.
    The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

  • The last 2 months photos have appeared right back at the beginning of my Events out of date order aothough both my digital camera and iPhone are correctly dated

    1.     The last 2 months photos imported at intervals on seperate occasions appeared in Last Import, but then disappeared when I imported some more.  They should have come up as the latest event in Events, but they didn't.  Eventually I found them right back at the beginning of my Events.  They are dated
    1st April 2013 - 27th April 2013,
    2nd March 2013 - 18th April 2013 and
    4th May 2013 - 20th May 2013
    All my photos are correctly dated and have appeared as Events in chronological order.  How can I correct this.  I have a huge collection of 305 events = 11,000 photos = 58 GB
    2.    A number of assorted flagged photos have  also appeared as an Event right back at the beginning.
    I am using  iPhoto '11 Version 9.4.3

    In the Events mode check the View ➙ Sort menu to make sure it's set as you expected it to be.  If it's By Date ➙ Descending the latest Events will be at the top.

    Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

  • How do I share the Photo Library on my desktop with another User. I have Apoerture set up on my wife's user account but cannot figure out how to access the photo library from her desktop.

    I just got a new IMac. I transferred all the photos from our old PC to the Aperture Library on my User account. My wife is set up as another User. She can access Aperture from her User account but there are no photos in the Library. How can I share or giver her access to the photos so that she can work with them on Aperture from her User account?

    Move the Aperture library to separate disk or disk partition with plenty of space for all your photos. On a separate disk or partition it will be possible to set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then two users can write to the same Aperture library without permission problems.
    The procedure is describe here for iPhoto libraries, but this will work for Aperture libraries as well:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If you want to use a drive for your Aperture library, that has been used with a PC, format it for Mac, before you move the Aperture library there. This can be done with Disk Utility.

    I have all my photos organized in i-photo as both photos and events. When I opened in the past the images in each event or album appeared as icons on the sreen. Now when I open I only get a dotted line rectangle and only if I click I see the picture, which is really problematic when trying to see or select nay image.
    I don't know if mistakenly I did something with the settings although I couls not find anything in preferences or any of the menus that could relate to this.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
    Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

        I'm sorry your pictures appear different in your gallery sillyymom. I know its frustrating with viewing important images. Are you using a 3rd party picture application? do you have any apps that may be conflicting with your pictures. Have you tried to review your picture settings?

You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto. What? If I can't open the current library using the latest version of iphoto, and I am asked to make changes the the newest version!!! I'm asked to run in circles chasing my tail...I had a new hard drive installed about 6 weeks ago. I am running MAC OS 10.5.8

    What version of iPhoto do you have? If you're on 10.5 then you're not running the latest iPhoto
    Any chance that the library was opened with another version?
    Simplest solution will be to just restore from your back up.

  • Export from photo library loses date in half the photos

    I used a separate iPhoto library to pare down duplicates from a folder of assorted photos that I eventually wanted to integrate into my main iPhoto library. All 3000+ photos had the correct date. Approximately half of these survived the purge, and were exported (full size, with file name included) to a file folder. When I imported these photos into my main library, I discovered that approximate half of these now had today's date. Inspecting the folder they were imported from, I found that the creation date and modification date of these 750 or so photos were both today's date, rather than the date they had had when in the separate small iPhoto library.
    What would cause just some of the photos to lose their original date?
    (As a work-around, I have now imported the original 3000+ photos into my main library, where they show the correct original date. I have further given them all a unique keyword, and created a smart folder for them so that I can continue to import other photos while I work to once again remove the unwanted duplicates from this set.)

    I had chosen JPEG, but I subsequently ran the same export using "Original" and then "Current". The last two exports changed the dates in about 95% of the images to the current date. The JPEG export changed only about half of the dates.
    I seem to have had a problem with some of the subject images being corrupt where the Information panel showed the Kind as "_" in iPhoto, but the Extended Photo Info still showed the correct date in the File Modified field. This field then got changed to the current date when the file was exported, regardless of which export "Kind" was chosen. This changed date was consistent viewing the image in the finder or in iPhoto, either in the Information panel or in the "Extended Photo Info" panel, and was the date used by iPhoto for sorting the photos.
    Not very useful for hunting down duplicate photos.
    So I imported ALL the 3000 or so photos directly into my main iPhoto file, where they kept their original modification date, and then spent the last day or so comparing them to my main database of about 13000 photos.
    So why does the Export feature modify the date to the current date? I know you specify that the file data and the exif data are different beasts, but I don't see any place that they differ.

    Hopefully someone can help me with my question.  When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).  When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

    When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).
    How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
    If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding;  try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it:    Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

  • IPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import.  Any thoughts?

    iPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import.  Any thoughts?

    If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
    Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event".  That will take you to the event in event view.

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

    Twas quite a hassle if I am honest which was eventually resolved but I don't feel qualified to help anyone through the process as it required a trip to my local apple store and a genius bar appointment.
    Personally, I would do anything like moving pictures out of folders etc. Certainly not creating a new users. i don't think that is an elegant solution
    Try the following which MAY just about rescue the situation for you but if they don't work you may have to do something more drastic.
    (1) Holding down Cmd & Alt at the same time, start iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon. From the resulting menu choose Rebuild photo library by selecting all available options given to you and then pressing REBUILD!
    If that doesn't work
    (2) Fire up Utilities. Go to migration assistant. Chose 'From another Time machine back-up'. Open the 'Users' option that comes up next and from there select Pictures, then uncheck everything else like Applications etc (you don't want to do a full migration of everything) and click go.
    If that doesn't work, take a deep breath and this step is rather complicated but it worked for me. First of all close iPhoto! Then go to new Finder window.
    From the Finder window choose Pictures, then iPhoto library, press CMD and the letter i. It brings up a new window. Go to Sharing & permissions. From there select the padlock to unlock settings. and then select User account, then press the 'cog' icon next to +/- abd choose Apply to enclosed items.
    This may take a while. Once completed, re-open iPhoto.
    And that should (I stress should) cure it.
    Good luck.

    Not sure about the missing photos from the Photo Stream section of 'Recent', however to stop photos populating the events, turn off Automatic Import (iPhoto Preferences > Photo Stream)
