Where are my images!!

Over the last week i have managed to whittle down a project containing 600 raw images to just over 400 and in the process have made many small adjustments. I then created a folder so i could split up this 400 into different chapters/projects to then put them online using the web using Apertures templates. At some point i selected all 400 images to see if i could drop all into the folder. The folder gave no indication that it would accept the images so i dropped them back again. An unconventional action i know but not one that would make all my images disappear. I now have about 20 viewable images the rest i can see the orientation and that they have adjusted but only a small red question mark and a badge that signifies that the master image cannot be found.
I have tried the "Relocate Masters for Project" option and the "Update Preview" option to no avail.
I have found all the images in the Aperture Package and in the backup but how do i return them without losing the hours of work i've put into this. Restoring the Library will wipe out all this work.

EDIT: btw, yellow folders within projects do not contain any images. yellow folders do not hold images per se they hold albums, smart albums, etc. i use folders to force a separation of my photographs
is the Aperture Library hooked up (connected)?
have you tried rebuilding the Aperture Library? quit Aperture.
now hold down the following keys:
command option start Aperture.

  • Where are the Image Properties located?

    Where are the Image Properties located? Recently watched a tutorial that suggested right clicking an image to see the Image Properties window. However, I am not seeing it. I am looking to add Image descriptions for better SEO. Thank you

    Hello,
    Is that image used as a fill in a rectangle ?
    If you right click in a Image frame you will the option for image properties. look at the screnshot.
    If you right click on a recangle that has an image used as a fill then you will not the option for image properties. look at the screnshot.
    If there is anyother scenario you are talking about please let me know and i will look in to it.

  • Where are the images stored after migration

    I'm totally lost after migrating my pictures from iPhotos.app to Photos.app...
    From an article from Apple, (see below) there is no duplication of the library even if it looks like (when you look at the GB). So i understand that there is a kind of link or alias for each picture. But i would like to know where the original ones are (imposible to know looking at the finder because both libraries show strangely a lot of GB.
    So I tried different options to understand. If I delete an event in the iPhoto library and definitely trash it, these pictures are still in Photos. And if I delete some pictures in Photos.app definitely (deleting definitely from File Menu > Show Recently Deleted) these pictures are still in iPhoto !!! So where are the real pictures ??? In which library? Somewhere else? Why the two libraries are showing all these Gb and it does'n't correspond to the capacity storage of my hard disk...
    I really don't understand how it works... Any help would be very appreciated.
    Article from Apple :
    Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries
    Learn how Photos stores images when you migrate your iPhoto or Aperture library and saves disk space by sharing images.
    When you migrate a photo library from iPhoto or Aperture, the Photos app creates a new library structure but doesn't duplicate your images. Instead, Photos saves disk space by creating links to the original and preview versions of your images.When Finder reports the file size of your Photos library, it includes all your originals and previews. It may look like your remaining iPhoto or Aperture library is taking up twice the space on your hard drive, but it isn't—your images exist only in one location, even though you may have more than one photo library.After you migrate your iPhoto or Aperture library to Photos, you might feel tempted to delete your original iPhoto or Aperture library. Because the migrated library takes little additional space, you don't need to delete the original library.

    They're in both libraries; a hard link to a file is indistinguishable from the original file, and either one can be deleted without affecting the other.

  • Where are the image units in Motion 5.05??

    What happened to the image units in Motion 5.05? I used to have it in 5.04 but where is it? I'm using Mountain Lion.
    Please Help,
    ~AJ

    Good question!!!
    I have a few Effects that are breaking due to the removal of these filters (both sets are gone, btw: Filters > Image Units and Generators > Image Units). Funny thing is -- they still work just fine in Motion (already being used) but completely ignored in FCPX.
    I know that many of the IUs were from Quartz and not compatible with Motion, but many of them were, and worth experimenting with.
    I just finished filling out a bug report (AKA providing feedback) about this subject. I hope you will do the same.

  • Where are the image files located?

    hey guys, my book is 75 mb and I can only guess that it's because my images are Too big. I don't know how to get the file sizes down because I replaced them but they must still be retained in the image folder because when I look at the size its 75mb. Does anyone know where the images are located?

    Finding out where the images are held doesn't really help – here's why:
    iBA a files aren't really document files – they're more like zipped folders. iBA does a whole heap of background stuff to make the book work. When you drag an or import an image into iBA, it gets filed into a certain place within that folder structure, and presumably 'logs' that location in some xml-type wizardry somewhere else in that folder structure.
    Because of this, it's not a great idea to muck around with any of that stuff - it often makes things worse, not better.
    As for image size - as Vinny said - all you can do is make the images 2048 x 1536 if you want view them full screen. That looks best on a Retina display, as almost all iPads being sold now are.
    I don't know what your intentions are with the project, but in my experience, 75Mb pretty small. Is 75Mb the iBA file or an exported .ibooks file? Once a book gets exported to .ibooks format, the file size comes down. The iBA files I have worked on are much larger – the smallest being about 975Mb, going up to about 3.25Gb.

  • Where are the image numbers for photos sent via Photo stream?

    I created an album for a friend of 450 images and sent them via Photostream. When indicating the ones she liked, she referred to the numbers but I can't see any numbers on the pictures. They are not the original numbers as I have them in Aperture. Can anyone tell me where to find them? Don't tell me she counted all 450 of them!!!

    Forget the files - you do not access them using iPhoto - you access the photos using the media browser - in the lower left hand corner of every upload/attach/open window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • Where are the Image Settings?

    In Adobe's Bridge Reference, it says, "Here are some tips for automating the processing of camera raw image files:
    When you record an action, first select Image Settings from the Camera Raw Settings menu [icon appears here] in the Camera Raw dialog box. In this way, the settings particular to each image (from the Camera Raw database or sidecar XMP files) are used to play back the action."
    Problem is, I cannot find the Camera Raw Settings menu anywhere in the Camera Raw dialog box, and I cannot find anywhere in the documentation where it tells you how to do what they're recommending here. I'm confused as to whether the action recording takes place in Photoshop (most likely), Bridge, Camera Raw, or the Image Processor. I was under the impression that, of these four, actions can only be created in Photoshop, but now I'm not so sure, since this paragraph says that while the action is being recorded it has to be selected from the Camera Raw dialog box. WHERE DOES ONE FIND "Image Settings" IN THE CAMERA RAW DIALOG BOX?
    Edit: Actually, I found the Image Settings selection, but it is still unclear how I can incorporate it into an action. Can I invoke the Camera Raw dialog box while recording an action? if so, how?

    Record an Action after opening a file into Photoshop, so the Action contains no Open command but it does contain Save and Close.
    Run the Action in a Batch with disabled 'Override Action "Open" Commands' and enabled 'Override Action "Save As" Commands'.

  • Aperture says I have over 12,000 images that are referenced, but when I search all photos, I see nothing. Where are my images?

    This is the second time I've been worried that Aperture is simply losing my images.
    I am setting up a second drive to backup monthly and keep at a different location.  When I prompt Aperture to set up a new vault, it tells me that over 12K of images are referenced and won't be backed up.
    The first problem here is that I shouldn't have any referenced images. I used to reference, but that got all kinds of messed up (even though I was only using a single HD to do it). After searching manually to find all of my images that were where they should be but Aperture couldn't find them, I shifted everything to managed. This was frustrating since the photos existed, but Aperture just "forgot" about them, but I am in so deep with Aperture it'll be nightmare to shift to LightRoom (and I don't even really know if that's a solution to the problem)
    The second problem is that okay, if I have referenced images, then Aperture should be able to find them, right? Wrong. A search of all my photos for photos as "referenced", "missing", "offline" yields nothing.
    So it leads me to wonder: do i really have referenced images? Has my library been screwed up again somehow?
    Even after rebuildling, I still can't find these so-called referenced images.  If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful. I don't want to switch software — will Lightroom really be any better anyway — and I love Aperture's workflow and UI. Not to mention how it ties to iCloud, etc.

    Ian, rebuilding your library might solve the problem, but before you rebuild, make sure you have a backup of your library - a clone with super duper or carbon copy cloner would be better than a Time Machine Backup.
    If rebuilding does not help, try to recreate by creating a new library and importing the old one into the new one.
    As to the missing referenced images, how do the numbers add up that the Vault panel shows:
    xxx managed will be included
    yyy referenced images will not be backed up
    Do the sums xxx+yyy add up the total of your images when you select the "Photos" view? Then it would be only a question of the vault assuming the wrong file status, not a question of missing images. Do you miss any images that should be there, when you browse your projects?

  • Where are APEX images retrieved from in an n-tiered environmen?

    Oracle XE DB 11gR2

    I notice when using Glassfish as part of my APEX environment I am required to copy the images to an /i directory on the Glassfish server under the Glassfish domain.
    The question arises --> When APEX needs to render an image, is the image retrieved from the database/database server or from the Glassfish web server?

    If you're using Glassfish and the APEX Listener (or OHS) then images referenced using <tt>/i/</tt> / <tt>#IMAGE_PREFIX#</tt> are stored on and retrieved from the web server file system. If using EPG then they're stored on and retrieved from the database using the XMLDB repository.
    If the image is referenced using <tt>#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#</tt>, <tt>#APP_IMAGES#</tt>, or declarative BLOBs then they're stored on and retrieved from the database.

  • Where are the Theme Images

    Hi,
    I am using the Watercolour these at the moment, but want to change the colours of the images - is there an easy way to do this?
    Where are the image files located?
    Thanks
    Rich

    The theme packages are located in the application itself: iWeb/Contents/Resources/Themes folder. You'd have to open that particular package and see if you can modify the colors. I would make a backup copy of your iWeb application just in case.

  • Flash 7 where are the library contents?

    I am using Flash 7 and I need to free some images out of the
    library for some other use. So where are those images kept because
    i am not seeing how to do that with any library menus. When I try
    to launch an external editor for these pictures, it says unable
    because the original path from years ago is not there, as you would
    expect. I do not want the original path, i want the actual photos
    that are now in the actual library. Please advise, thank you

    hmm, those images were removed from the hd long ago cuz i
    thought they were imported into this mysterious library. I'm a
    little hesitant to screen grab cuz the resolution is dependent on
    the screen. I like pristine files.

  • Pages 08 Template images -where are they saved?

    I know Pages 08 does not have clip art but I like many of the pictures on the templates. I want to use some of the template images (like the cat.tiff or frog.tiff) on a blank document. Copying & pasting works but I'd rather be able to see all the template tiffs at once. Where are the template images(tiffs) located on my hard drive. Is there a specific iWork folder I can find them in?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The images are "buried" in each template which is buried in the Pages application. You can find them by Control- or right-clicking on the Pages application > Show package contents > Contents > Resources > Templates & then the folder for the template category you want. Then Control- or right-clicking on the template icon > Show package contents > Contents where you will find the actual images.
    Or you can just copy & paste from an open template.
