One photo in multiple albums

HI,
I'd like to be able to have an original photo appear in multiple albums, but when I try to do that it won't import into a new album because it already exists.
I have 1 photo that I have imported and it is in 1 location.  But I  have multiple things that I want to do with it.
First,  say I have a picture of a cabin in the woods.  I might want to crop out  the cabin, manipulate the colors, set it to 1280x1024 for wallpaper,  etc.  I want the original and all of the edits to be in an Album called  "Wallpapers."  I might have 10 different "versions" in the stack in the  Album with different aspect ratios, color balances, croppings, etc.
But now I want the original, without all of the  accompanying edit history, versions, etc., in a different Album called  "Cabin."  In this Album, I've cropped out the wooded area and left just  the cabin and have again got multiple versions in the stack.
So  when I'm in the Wallpaper Album, I see the original version plus all of  the wallpaper manipulations, but when I'm in the Cabin Album I only see  the original plus all of the cabin manipulations.
Tagging  the original as orignal, then all of the wallpaper versions and cabin  versions with separate tags and then filtering by tags is a pain  compared to simply being able to have one picture in multiple albums.  Same with backuping an album, then deleting it and recreating it with a different purpose.
Is this possible or just a use that no one anticipated?

Hi,
You can just expand the stack of the version set created of the image every time it was edited. Select the original photo and select remove from Stack. T
this will remove it from the stack and you cna now place it in any other album as well.

  • During import, how to auto split one project into multiple albums based on date?

    I believe I've done enough aperture reserach to get all my terminology right, so here goes...
    I've created a file structure within the aperture inspector the the tune of: 
    Year [folder], Type of event (Occasion, special occasion, holiday, vacation) [folder], Project (Wedding), Album (i.e. Day 1, Day 2 or Pre wedding week, event, honeymoon).
    I also have entire months with 7 or 8 pictures each day, that are of the same type/project (random dog pictures) but are distinctly different days (albums - day in park, in bed at night, watching movie). 
    My question is, can I import one project with multiple albums already created based on the date they're taken.  As I can see it, all I can do is split individual projects automatically by date.  But what if one project is over one month, but has multiple distinct days that would be ideal for albums?  One more example.  We did a trip to San Fran.  One day was touring the city, one day was a concert, another day was touring the city.  All one project, but 3 different albums (in my mind).  I had to import as one project, then separately go in and make albums.  I would like that done automatically.
    My suspicion is that I can not natively do this within aperture, and that I would need something called an "applescript."  I haven't done any reserach into that area, so if that's the case and you know where I can find a script that would do this, I'd appreciate the help. 
    Sorry for the wordiness, just wanted to be clear.  Thanks for any and all help!

    Hi,
    You need to create a new requirement in tcode VOFM for that, together with your ABAP consultant. This requirement will be used in copy contol.

  • One song in multiple albums?

    I know this has not been possible in earlier versions of iTunes, but I hope Apple has addressed it by now. It makes a great deal of sense. If, for example, one has a song in the album in which it was originally released and also has a copy as part of a Greatest Hits album, we should not have to retain two copies of the song to be able to hear it no matter which album we choose to play. Aperture and iPhoto seem to manage this with images—why not in iTunes? Is it possible to do this yet?
    If not yet possible,  could someone remind me of the feedback URL?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    i personally would love this.....
    I have all of an artists albums.... PLUS i have all of the singles from that album... 
    I would love the same track that is on the album, and on the single to show in multiple album titles....
    Eg the song;
    Step Back In Time is Track 02 on the Album "Rythm of love"
    however it is Track 01 on the single "Step Back In Time - CD 1"
    and also
    Track 01 on the Single "Step Back In Time - CD 2"
    So i have to choose which album i want this to show on... as i am unable to have the one track show up on multiple albums.....  even tho it is all the same track.......  yet, if i listen to "Step Back In Time - CD 1" it means i cannot listen to the title track as it is linked to a different album......

  • How to put one photo into multiple events

    I want a single photo to appear in more than one event. For example, I would like to be able to create one large event, (lets say for an entire trip), but also create individual events for each day of the trip. I cannot figure out how to get a photo to show up in more than one event.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Duplicate the picture is the only way to do this with Events. Events are a very crude way of organising. They reflect exactly the folders in the iPhoto Library on the HD.
    Albums, on the other hand, are much, much more flexible. A pic can be in many, many albums and use no extra disk space whatever. So can create an Album for the trip, plus one per day. Just drag the photos to the to albums.
    But even easier: Create a Folder - (File -> New Folder) and name for the Trip. Then a Smart Album based on date. So File -> New Smart Album: Date -> is -> Whatever. Then drag the Smart Album to the Folder. Repeat for as many days as you need. Click on the Folder, see them all. Click on an Album within the Folder for a specific day.

  • How do I delete a edited album from my iphoto?  There is only one photo in that album and I have tried everything. I deleted it from my ipad album.

    How do I delete an edited iphoto album from iphoto? It is driving me batty...it should not be this difficult. I am beginning to think it's not possible....I hope not...I would hate to think this will happen every time I edit an album.

    Hi turintest2
    Thanks for taking the time to respond - however your reply didn't really help as you haven't explained how to delete the compilation album that had been created.
    I managed to sort it out by doing the following (I'm posting this so that it may help others).  I don't know if this is the simplest/most elegant solution - but it works.
    In iTunes, find the compilation (in my case, the 153 songs) and, starting with the first song, follow this procedure:
    On the iPhone go to 'Songs' and scroll down the list until you find the first song that was listed in iTunes (above).  You should notice (as in my case) that the song will have the correct title (and artwork too if you'd found this previously before making the compliation) but the wring artist.
    Swipe LEFT and press the 'Delete' button.
    Repeat with second song in iTunes list, deleting the individual songs from the iPhone, one by one.
    Although tedious, this seemed to work for me.  Reason for doing down the iTunes list is that it is in a pseudo-alphabetical order and I wanted to make sure I'd got every one.
    Now busy re-importing the original albums from CD.
    Thank you APPLE for making this such a laborious process.  Why can't designers actually TEST the products they design so that they can appreciate first-hand the likely problems?
    Anyhow, thanks turintest2 for trying to help me - it was appreciated.

  • Multiple album name for one mp3

    is it possible to tag the one mp3 with multiple album names?eg.most artists have greatest hits albums with their studio albums so the itunes user has to choose which one to delete from the library thus causing one or the other album to be incomplete if you burn it to cd.
    one mp3 file on hard drive with 2 album tags would be good as it would save part listings

    This is not an iTunes specific issue it applies to all media managers (e.g WMP).
    The meta tags in MP3 (or other formats) only let you tag it with a single album name. I understand what you are getting at as a specific track might be in an album and then reissued as part of a greatest hits, and then as for example part of a "Now That's What I Call Music Volume n" type album. Storing one copy would save space.
    However the files do not have this capability and disk space is cheap so who cares?
    It is also the case the often the tracks are very slightly different, you can see this when you search for a track on the iTunes Store and often you will get several results (from different albums) and they have slightly different durations. They may have been remixed or re-recorded by the band at a different date.

  • Songs linked to multiple albums

    I am one of those people who look after their itunes library, making sure each song has the correct name and artist, as well as the correct album artwork. I have about 200-300 duplicated songs, but some of the songs belong to multiple abums.
    For example the song "Don't Cry" by Guns and Roses, is duplicated and can be found in the album "Live Era '87-'93" and "Use Your Illusion II"
    I could delete one of them but then I would not have complete album. But I wonder if it is possible to make one song belong to multiple albums without having multiple songs?
    Also, it is possible would it also work on an iPod?
    Sorry about my explation, I am no very good when it comes to explaining things.
    iMac G5 2Ghz 17" 512 RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    You explained it very well, but unfortunately there's no way to link one song to multiple albums. Each song only has one album field so there's no way to make iTunes list it under two album names.

  • How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • I have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see picture from one of the albums.what should i do?

    i have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see pictures from one of the albums.what should i do?

    You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
    Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

  • Can you opening multiple albums at the same time in Photo (not iPhoto)?

    When converting the iPhoto library to Photo most of the albums that were in place in iPhoto converted to albums in Photo . . . .but not all. Some were retained as events mainly those that were folders within an album. In order to move them to the right album I would like to have multiple albums open at the same time (side by side) so that I can make sure not to duplicate photos or move them to the wrong spot.
    I cant see how to do this, it seems that I can need to open one album and check phots and then close to look within and other and rely on memory. There must be a more efficient and accurate way to do this?

    All of the events in iPhoto were converted to albums and are located in the Folder titled iPhoto Event in the sidebar of Photos. 
    You can't open multiple albums at the same time.  You can create a smart album that will do essentially the same thing with the following criteria:
    Album is "A"
    Album is "B".
    The smart album will display all of the photos in those two albums.

  • I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection".  Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
    You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac.  Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone.  When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
    To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

  • Photo slideshows from multiple albums

    I am considering buy Apple TV just for use with photos, everything else is a bonus.
    I know that in iPhoto you can select multiple albums and run them as a slideshow. Can you do the same with Apple TV or do you have to create one big slideshow in iPhoto ahead of time?

    TV makes it's own slideshows from any of the albums you have synced from your iphoto library. So in short, you will need to make an album in iphoto with exactly what you want in your slideshow.
    Not quite what you are after but on the up side, the slideshow in TV works really well, it is much simpler than creating a slideshow in iphoto, the only minor complaint I have about slideshows on TV is that the musc doesn't fade out as the slideshow finishes it just stops.

  • When I down load photo albums using i tunes from my computer to my ipad2, the download knocks out or erases the prior picture album.  Can you help me to be able to down load multiple albums.  I keep my photos in Picasa on my windows computer

    When I down load photo albums from my computer to my i pad using i tunes, it erases my prior album.  My picture are stored in Picasa.  Can you help me download multiple albums without losing any of them.  Thank you.

    Photos that you sync from your computer can't be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you need to include all the albums that you want to be on your iPad in each photo sync, what you are effectively currently doing is telling iTunes to replace the last synced album with the new one.

  • HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
    You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
    Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.
