OS X Yosemite iPhoto 9.6 Referenced libraries

Under importing options, if you uncheck 'copy items to iPhoto library' iPhoto should not copy the file to the library and reference the original instead.
I understand all the limitations and risks of this, however want to use this option.
However, when you uncheck the tick box, and import photos, iPhoto still creates a Preview of the original in its library, and the preview is about 70% the size of the original (i.e. its still taking significant disk space).
Does anyone know a solution to this? From what I have read, unchecking this option should simply reference the original file, NOT create a copy of it.

However, when you uncheck the tick box, and import photos, iPhoto still creates a Preview of the original in its library, and the preview is about 70% the size of the original (i.e. its still taking significant disk space).
iPhoto cannot work without the preview images. You cannot disable this.
If you really need and want to work with referenced images and store the originals outside the photo library, upgrade to Aperture, while it is still possible to buy it. For several reasons:
iPhoto has no options to repair broken links to your referenced originals outside the library. If you need to replace a drive or want to move the files for other reasons, you are stuck and will need third party tools to rescue your iPhoto library. Aperture supports referenced images well. It has been designed to work with large, distributed photo libraries.
In Aperture you can also disable the creation of previews or create them selectively only for your most important photos that you want to use in other applications.
Aperture can open the iPhoto libraries and vice versa. Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

Adobe Bridge 4 vs Iphoto 09 using referenced libraries

I've always used iphoto with referenced libraries, usually with no problem with an external HD with my imac. The reason: I don't want to consume my HD with hundreds of photos and video files and large photoshop files. Here's what I would like to do. I recently purchased Apple's new time capsule, and would like to do the following, store all these media files on the time capsule, with iphoto's library on my imac's HD and referencing those media files on the time capsule, wirelessly. My question is, would adobe bridge be a better way to view and track these media files rather than using iphoto? Any insight with either programs would be appreciated.
I do like using iphoto for creating web galleries with mobileme, and the occasional phonebook. In those instances, I usually copy over the files to my hd and copy them into iphoto so there are no corruption issues.
Oh, and the other reason to storing these files on the time capsule is so that my husband's pc laptop and my mac laptop (powerpc G5) would have access to these files too.

1. You know that's not a supported use for a Time Capsule, right?And folks who have tried storing items other than Back Ups on there have had permissions issues etc.
2. Running a Referenced Library is fraught with problems +should anything go wrong+. This is particularly the case where the Library and the files are stored on different volumes. If the path changes in any way you will need to resolve each alias individually. There is no need to have all the photos referenced if you want to store them on an external drive. You can easily run a Managed library from an external disk.
3. I'm not sure what, if anythign, Bridge would bring to the set up. It's a file browser and not a Photo Organiser. You might want to post on an Adobe forum for more on Bridge. The one thing I will tell you is that the "file management" capabilities of Bridge make it lethal to photos also managed by iPhoto.

New user here. Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File Import Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos

New user here. Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File>Import>Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos in place on the file system. All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option. What?

All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option.
That has been true for the previous Aperture versions. Now Aperture simply treats the original image files exactly as they are in the imported library. Referenced images will stay referenced, managed will be imported as managed. But you can always relocate the imported managed images afterwards by using "File > Relocate".

After I upgraded to Yosemite iphoto can't recognize my backup CDs which were created in iLife09. Ihave the original applications install disk and my old hard drive(I upgraded to SSD). How do I get a n iphoto back to read by old CDs?

After I upgraded to Yosemite,iPhoto can't recognize my backup CDs created in iLife 09. The applications install disk won't install iphoto because iphoto 9.5 is already installed..I updated to a SSD and have the original Hard Drive with an updated iphoto which recognized the older CDs(thanks to iphoto expander). I thought that the iphoto that transferred with the new hard drive was the same as what was on the old one. I guess it wasn't. I really need to access my backups. HELP

Later version of iPhoto write to the library on opening, and so cannot open libraries on optical media, as that cannot be written to. Further, optical media is going e way of the floppy disk. Therefore, you need to use a different form of archiving and back up going forward.
To allow iPhoto to open these libraries you need to copy them to your Mac or an attached external disk.
To merge them into an existing Library will require that you use either Aperture (if you have it) or iPhoto Library Manager.

Original in iPhoto library or referenced?

When I created a new library yesterday I inadvertently set iPhoto to import from my folders (referenced library) Later I switched the option (I thought I was working on another library). Now I have to figure out which photos are referenced, since I want to delete them and bring them in again into the iPhoto library. How do I know whether the original is in the iPhoto library or referenced?

Well, I could do that. But the reason I am doing this exercise is that I am preparing to merge my 3 main libraries, all rebuilt and recovered from a crashed hard drive. I created a couple of test libraries, just to see how iPhoto Library Manager handled the files when I merged them, and that's when I discovered that that some identical photos came in twice, and into different events. I am pretty sure this will happen again when I do the big merger, and if so, I will need to know how to fix it, and creating a new library will not be an option for I will loose all my albums, etc. Since I checked the "do not import duplicates" I am assuming that iPhoto believes that they are different files because they come from different locations, i.e. iPhoto library or referenced library? Or what other reason could there be for the duplicate files not being caught?

You not only have to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader but you also have to run it on the library. It'll be in the Applications/Utilities folder. Double click on it to launch and it will automatically locate the last library you worked with and convert it.

after upgrading to yosemite iPhoto doesn't work?

Hi, I had the same problem, but in my case it turned out it really was not a system problem, I just did not wait long enough for the download to finish..and did not know where to see its progress.. It took probably closer to two hours.
Please follow the progress of download in the Launchpad. Only after the download is completed, can you install, which does not take as long...and the iPhoto is available with bells and whistles...good luck!

Problem with referenced libraries (after flash 5.5 trial install/uninstall)

I've been using flash builder 4 & flash cs5 with on problems.
I unstalled flash 5.5 trial version to have a play around, then uninstalled it. I also changed the flex sdk version flash builder was using so I could export and test stageVideo.
Now when making Flash Professional Project in flash builder ( and selectiong and selecting the main fla), the referenced libraries are not imported to the project, and all old predicts ( which have referenced librares and used to work) are looking for swc's held in the 'Adobe Flash CS5.5' folder, and so none of the code hinting is working.
Help please

Hi MoTor,
You would need to uninstall existing Flash Builder 4.5 on your machine and then install Flash Builder 4.6 in trial mode.
During installation, it doesn't accept the serial number of Master Collection. So, just install it in trial mode and make sure that the you select the same language as that of your Master Collection, during FB installation.
Now launch FB and it would then accept Master Collection CS 5.5 serial number.

Hope this helps.

OS X Yosemite iPhoto 9.6 won't open except in full screen

Upgraded to Yosemite, iPhoto 9.6. Mid-2011 iMac. When I open the iPhoto app, I get a top bar and the dot under the icon to indicate that the app is open, but nothing happens. I go to the menu, View, Enter Full Screen. Only then can I see anything in iPhoto. Then I can Exit Full Screen and navigate. But this is a headache and a sill extra couple of steps. Have tried repairing permissions, checked them with the admin module, deleted and reinstalled iPhoto altogether. Still, can't open iPhoto normally. Suggestions?

WPF+MAF - addin referenced libraries are not loaded?

Hi! I'm new to Add-in framework. Now I'm trying to create WPF addin that returns UserControl (according to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb909849(v=vs.110).aspx).
The problem is that when I try to get user control from addin, Exceptions are thrown:
1. The first exception was "Cannot find resource named '<name>'. Resource names are case sensitive.". All the resources are stored in separate library and it worked fine when I did the same with MEF (before MAF)
2. OK, I've removed all StaticResources and then I got another exception: "{"Could not load file or assembly 'Infralution.Localization.Wpf, PublicKeyToken=547ccae517a004b5' or one of its dependencies."}". This lib is used for localization.
Note: all needed libraries are in the same folder as the addin is
Are addin referenced libraries not loaded? Or where was I mistaken?

Yes, I had downloaded it (before writing my application) and tried to start it, but it does not work. Today I've tried it again and it still does not work.
1. VS says there are no System.Xaml references at all projects (fixed)
2. NullReferenceException is thrown at StackChanged event invokation - added check for null (fixed)
Now, when the solution is built, there are 6 warnings at AddInStore.Rebuild(path). The first says: "While examining an assembly for pipeline segments, got a TypeLoaderException" and there is
no the exception per se. (I could attach image, but it will be useless, because I have VS Express and not english ui language). So, 0 addins are found.
Hi Maleev,
>>1. VS says there are no System.Xaml references at all projects (fixed)
>>2. NullReferenceException is thrown at StackChanged event invokation - added check for null (fixed)
I saw that your original two issues have been resolved, for your new question, could you please close this case and feel free to open a new thread for better communication?

Moving referenced libraries

I have referenced libraries on an external drive. This drive is now full. I have purchased a new larger drive and would like to transfer my referenced libraries to the new drive. How do I do this without a opening a can of worms?

this without a opening a can of worms?
It should be straightforward. You can get Aperture to move all your files for you by ctrl+clickling on each project and selecting 'Relocate masters for project'.
Alternatively, you could manually copy the master files from your existing disk to the new disk and then use the Referenced File Manager to tell it where they are.
I recommend the first, and also recommend that before you begin, you make a backup either by using the vault, or by copying your entire Aperture library (in the Pictures folder). If you have a backup, you can go about the whole process with no fear.

Syncing 2 referenced libraries ?

Hi guys,
I would appreciate some advice on how to keep 2 independent referenced libraries in sync with each other. My setup is as follows -
1 iMac in my office with my entire photo library referenced from the iMac HD.
1 portable hard disk with its own referenced photo library. The library sits on the portable HD, the referenced photo structure is synchronized with the iMac using Deltawalker or Chronosync.
1 Macbook Pro with a library referencing the masters on the portable HD.
I do most of my work on the iMac, including ingesting and editing. I would also like the flexibility to use my MBP the same way when at home or on the road. Keeping whatever photos I ingest or delete in sync is not a problem, Chronosync does it for me.
I would like to know how to also keep my libraries in sync, but point to the correct referenced images.
For example,
I tweak 100 images on my iMac. I would like to import those changes to my portable library, but have them point to the masters on the portable HD.
Is there any way of doing this efficiently?
Thanks in advance,
Viren
PS - I would like to keep my masters referenced for easy syncability, and to use other raw converters.
Message was edited by: viren.mohan

PS - I am aware of the 'Locate Referenced Masters' and Reconnect All option. It takes too long to do so, unlike Lightroom.
