Need advice on how to export ALL images including any changes (Versions)

I have well over 15000 RAW ORF Olympus images in Aperture with approximately 10000 of them in the database and the rest as references to the file on the file system.
My problem is 'many' fold...
First I am frustrated with using Aperture only because it doesn't seem to perform well anymore either because I have too many files, the database is corrupted, DB IO is slow... I don't know but its not performing as it did when I started using it and I don't know what to do to fix it... so with that said here are a few options I am pursuing and the problems I am having doing so.
I am moving to Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS4, however with most of the files in the Aperture database I need to have them exported... however the only options are Master and or Version, which is frustrating because if I choose Master I get the original RAW file less all the changes done to any versions and if I choose the version I get customized JPEG's less the RAW master file. huh! I would like if possible some other options but I can understand if they don't exist.
1. One option would be to get all the masters (which I can do now) but only if they are in the database and not referenced.
2. Second option only would be to get all the versions if the RAW was modified and not export a version for a selected image if it does not exist.
3. Third, have some way to only selected actual modified version images and not every image in a folder or in the database.
4. Export to Photoshop .psd format with layers instead of versions?
5. Filter by files in the database and files that are referenced.
6. ... I'm open to other suggestions.
Is there a way to move all the database files back to file referenced to shrink the Database or do I need to export everything and then re-import them as references?
The export process for so many files is killing me as its taking me days and days and I have no way to cross check to ensure all the files and versions are retained when exported - I'm not sure what I have or how to rebuild them in Aperture at a later time once exported?
I am exporting the sidecar file with every image but am not sure the value or significances of this file - can this file help when moving to Photoshop/Bridge?
BTW. Another reason I wish to move from having Aperture manage my files in its database is I have now lost a few hundred unrecoverable pictures for no known reason in aperture, once after a trap as I was processing a image, I lost all of my sisters funeral shots - so so sad.
Help!!!

Something is very very very wrong - 15,000 images are nothing, unless you have them all in one project. I have 300,000+ with no issues in performance. Another indicator is days to export 15,000. Don't blame Aperture - you have a giant problem.
I am not going to address how to do what you want exactly because I do not have the time but here are some hints -
You can search for adjusted versions, and you can search for managed vs. referenced (file status). You may want to think about using relocate master with some clever subfolder options/selections to put all of you original masters and any external edited masters (PSD, etc) into a nice neat hierarchy for you to browse via bridge - Aperture is fantastic at reorganizing directory structures via relocate masters.
There is no way to export adustments+RAW that Photoshop can interpret. If you want the Aperture non-destructive adjustments you must export versions end of story.
Personally I would figure out why you are having such issues with Performance - there is a cause and it will probably give you issues no matter what you are using down the road.

  • How to export all images that don't contain editable text

    Hi guys,
    Is there any hack, script or general function to export all images from a PDF withouth them containing editable text?
    For instance, i have a pdf that contains some scanned documents - these need exporting, i also have some tables in there that have editable text in them - these are being exported when i select export all images.
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers!

    Search for a word or words in them as a group. Search for .pdf file type and containing....
    Use a common word that they all might contain such as "a" or "the", etc.
    The files that have been OCR'd will show up in the search. This won't catch 100% of them, but it will allow you to separate most of them.

  • How to export all images as 4x6?

    Okay, one of the things I absolutely love about Aperture is the ability to export many different versions for different purposes. As a wedding photographer, there are many different purposes to export for.
    Here's the glitch that I'm running into though. We've now started only giving DVD images to our clients sized as 4 x 6s at 300 dpi. Anything larger, we'd like them to purchase through us to maintain quality.
    I've been trying to figure out a way to get Aperture to export the images we've edited out as these 4 x 6 at 300dpi, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get it right. We crop at 8 x 12 so the ratio is fine, but getting it to come out right it a bugger.
    I can't tell it to export at 4 x 6 because that only works for portrait and not landscape orientation. I can have a different export for each orientation since I have to maintain numbering consistency with our web galleries and their DVD copy.
    I finally ran it out at 50% of original size, but hardly any of the images come out at 300 dpi. Aperture is just not doing everything I assumed it would.
    Any ideas?

    Set up an export preset as follows (from memory, so I apologise for any slight wording errors):
    Duplicate JPG Original size preset and rename something like 6x4@300
    'Size to' 'Fit within Inches' Width 6.0 Height 6.0
    'DPI' 300
    sRGB colourspace
    Because all your images area already cropped to the right aspect ratio (3:2), setting size to 'fit within' will make the longest side 6 inches at 300dpi. It doesn't matter whether they are landscape or portrait. I have done it and it works perfectly.
    If you have different aspect ratios and want to crop to 3:2 then export automatically, that is more tricky, but I don't think that is what you want.

  • How to export Fireworks image to MS Sharepoint

    I am building a SharePoint site and would like to know how to export the image I created in fireworks to SharePoint.  As of right now, I can export the image to the SharePoint home page, but none of the links are in tact.
    Can anyone tell me how to export the image I have created in Firework, along with the links, to the SharePoint home page???

    You did not understand my question or do not have an understanding of SharePoint or Fireworks.
    I am building an image on the home page of the SharePoint site.  I need have the user click on sections of the image to take them to certain places within the SharePoint site.  The image has been built.  The links to the pages have been added to the images with rollovers, using Adobe Fireworks.  I need to take that image, with the links and rollovers, and move that to my SharePoint home page.
    As of right now I can only move the image, but the links and rollovers do not go with it.  I have added it to a 'page viewer' web part on the Sharepoint, but all the actions take place just withing the page viewer web part, rather than moving the entire browser to the selected page.
    Can anyone help with this?

    How to export all the man page in mac to PDF?
    I have tried "man -t cat | pstopdf -i -o ~/Desktop/cat.pdf" but this only output one page.
    How could I dump all the man pages to pdf with one or few command as possible?
    The other question is, I copy all the man pages form /usr/share/man, they are .gz.
    After I unzip them and open with less, texteidtor, ultraeditor, all the formate are weird.
    Is there any tool could open them with the right formate as man does?
    I know the man in linux uses the tool "less" to read man pages. How about mac???

    Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Export images to another format
    Is it still possible to do in Acrobat DC ?
    Thank you for any answer.

    Hi Aline ,
    This is absolutely possible in Acrobat DC as well .
    In Acrobat DC ,the procedure to navigate to Export PDF option is a two step method .
    You could select the Export PDF option directly by choosing the Tools option .You will see a Export PDF option either on the right hand side or in the first row after you select tools .

  • How to export ALL my contact groups ( 20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine to Outlook 2010 on two other machines

     My problem is how to export ALL my contact groups (>20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine (finally established with great pains from a more user-friendly client) to Outlook 2010 on two other computers.  All the help files I've seen refer to
    export/import of only a single Group. 
     Outlook seems to be an extraordinarily limited and user-hostile environment for managing an address book.  By way of comparison, the Mulberry client I've been using for years (which is no longer supported) run circles around Outlook for ease of
    handling -- everything in the address book, groups and individual, can be exported and imported in a single file.  My computer support staff have warned me about the difficulties of handling groups in Outlook.  Is Microsoft really that incompetent,
    or just sadistic ?
    Thanks for your help with this.

    After a lot of screwing around I finally hit on a solution, which is to export and import contacts using a .pst file (which transfers both individuals and groups) rather than a .csv file -- which transfers only individual contacts but leaves groups untouched.
    Why isn't there a clear and simple message from Microsoft saying this in all the so-called Help files on moving contacts in Outlook?
