Workflow question: removing images from project

How can I tell Aperture to remove a file from its database without removing it from the hard drive? My workflow is:
1. Import images to a Transfer folder
2. Edit images
3. Move remaining images to a folder with the shoot name, under a Photos folder
In Aperture, I've got a Photos project, with Albums for each shoot name folder and I've got a Transfer project that the unediting shoot is in. After I edited my first shoot in 1.5, I used the Relocate Master command to move the files of the shoot to the new folder in the Finder. I then made a new Album under the Photos project and copied the photos from Transfer to the new Album. That all worked great. As a last step, I wanted to remove the photos from the Transfer project. However, I can't: I can only delete the original file, which will delete it from the hard drive. I can't figure out how to tell Aperture to simply stop managing a file. It's really basic issue but it's stopping me from using Aperture to manage my library (or at least do it efficiently).

Wow, I was really tired when I posted that. No, you were correct the first time: I was looking to delete images and for that your suggestion worked perfectly.
What I was doing when I asked the second question was re-arranging my library in Aperture. I decided to remove everything and to use a structure that has a Folder labelled "Photos" at the top level, then multiple Projects below that, each named with a year. In each Project, there are albums for that year's shoots.
Before I removed the old structure, I exported out as a Project the last shoot I edited. Pre-1.5, I never bothered keeping editing images in Aperture - I just used it as a tool for editing the shoot. However, now that Aperture can reference external files (i.e., I'm not worried about its database), I can keep the editing images and their modifications in Aperture (modifications like keywords and image adjustments). So, after creating my new structure, I wanted to import all the editing images of my last shoot; sort of kicking off my greater use of Aperture. However, after importing the Project, I couldn't figure out how to move the images into the new shoot Album, in my "2006" Project. Hence my "can't move images"-post to you.
Your tip about dragging into the Project, not the Album, worked great, moving the images into their new place. Last night (morning, actually), my clumsy workaround was to drag the edited images into the new shoot album, then import the originals again, then use the stamp tool to copy the changes from the exisiting images to the new ones. I then deleted the images I'd imported via the existing Project. Much more of a pain than knowning what you told me!
Thanks again.

  • How do I remove images from aperture?

    Totally new to apple and aperture so I apologise if this seems like a somewhat noob question but how do I remove images from aperture (using the latest version, 3.4.1)? Coming from a PC and using lightroom I'm used to being able to remove images in two ways:
    - removing the image from the "library", so that it no longer shows up in the program at all but is still on your hard drive (when I say removing it from the program entirely, I mean entirely, i.e. not sitting in a trash can or some other place where it's still taking up memory)
    - deleting the original image off the hard drive
    Is it possible to do either of these things in aperture, on both just a single image or a selection of multiple images, and if so how? I've tried googling this already and am getting a bunch of mixed solutions, none of which have really worked so far, so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The answer partially depends on whether you have a managed or referenced library. Since you're totally new to Aperture, I'm assuming you have a managed library since that's the default.
    FYI: Managed means Aperture handles image files and places them inside the library file. Referenced means you manage the image files and Aperture only points to (references) them.
    For a managed library, select an image you want to delete. Type command-delete. (That's the reverse delete key next to the "=" key). (You can also right-click an image and choose Delete Version) That will remove the images from their Project and place in the Aperture Trash. They're still taking up space in the Trash. If you really want them gone for good, right-click the Trash in the library pane and select Empty Trash. Poof.
    For a reference library, I forgot the exact details since I don't use this type of library, but you'll be asked (or can check a box) to delete the original file from the disk.

  • Remove images from library without deleting referenced files

    Hi,
    I cannot find solution: how do I remove images from Aperture library completely (all versions, etc), but keep the referenced master files? (all my images are kept outside aperture lib, as referenced masters).
    If I delete all versions and projects, they go to Trash, and attempting to empty the Trash brings only two options: delete permanently and move to system Trash. But I do not want to touch the referenced masters in any way. Is there a way to keep them safe, while emptying Aperture of all references to those files?
    Thanks.

    If the originals are referenced when you empty the Aperture trash the confirm box will have a checkbox asking yf you also want to move the referenced originals to the system trash.
    If you do not select this option the referenced originals are left where they are. If you of not see this option in the confirmation box then the originals in the Trash are not referenced.

  • How do I remove images from Notes app?

    How do I remove images from Notes app?
    I sometimes find that, when cutting and pasting text from the web, an image is also copied (pretty much at all times I try and avoid this, but sometimes the selection process doesn't allow for fine enough control - e.g. a whole block of content may be selected, rather than just the few words I'm trying to copy).
    I then find, once it's part of my note, that I cannot select the unwanted image and remove it. Can anyone tell me if this is something that can be done, and if so... how?
    Thanks, Sebastain

    Hi Drew & Kilgore*
    Thanks for your replies. I also have and use Simplenote, although I went off it for a while, when it started crashing all the time on me. It seems to be more stable again now, so I'll start using it more regularly again, perhaps.
    I am, obviously, disappointed that one can't simply select ANY object within a Notes document and choose to delete it. As I rather suspected, the only solution is an annoying workaround. Apple stuff seems to get more like this as time goes by. At least in my experience.
    I solved the issue my own way in the end, but I guess it was close to your 1st idea DR, and your 2nd option, KT: I basically cut and pasted everything above, and then everything below, the image, and pasted both chunks of text into a new note. So it took two passes, and left me with the original note just displaying the image, which I then trashed.
    Tapping to the right of the image followed by deletion was what I hoped & expected would work. But instead the image stayed put and the text below the cursor would simply slide along the right hand side, moving upwards as I deleted! Most bizarre, to my mind at least.
    Anyway thanks for the feedback. But, for anyone else that might want to know how to do this, the answer is: NO, you can't select and delete an image once it's in one of your notes!

  • Removing Images from iPhoto

    I don't know how to remove images from iPhoto 8 or 6. I prefer to use PhotoShop Elements and I want to move the iPhoto images from wherever they are into a separdate folder so that I can put them into Bridge CS3 and use Elements. But I cannot figure a way to do this. Thanks.

    Terence
    I purchased the Duplicate Annihilator that you recommended and with about an hour it had detected almost 5,000 duplicates, so I went ahead and identified them, also did the thumbs and found about 300 there, so I put them in the trash and deleted all that came up and now I am down to 5,000 - pictures. I will run it again tomorrow
    Thank you for your help, and a bargain to boot, I must tell my Mac store about this!
    Very much appreciated.... the reason that I hesitated to bring over the old iPhoto is that a few months back a bunch of my pictures from there 'disappeared' -so I didn't want to import a corrupt application?
    Happy trails

  • Removing pics from Projects

    Hi,
    I just bought Aperture and have watched the tutorials on Lynda and Apple. I have a question that is probably very simple but the solution is alluding me.
    For example: Say I started a project and called it, Friends. I put everything in it because I just bought a new camera and was playing around learning Aperture and the new cam. When the project started to get large I created more Projects and Albums within them. I know I can remove pics from the albums but how do I do it from the Project folder? When I try it removes them permanently. So now in my Friends Project I have 133 pics of everything I took but only two albums counting about 50 pics total.
    I hope that makes sense!
    Thanks in advance.
    Rob

    I am sorry but I do not really understand your specific question.
    Visualize it this way:
    Image files live in Projects. An Album is a virtual grouping of "pointers" to images that live in various Projects. There are no actual image files in an Album, just pointers.
    You can move images from one Project to another Project; also you can copy an image from one Project to another Project. You can make all kinds of Albums for all kinds of reasons at very low overhead; Albums are a powerful concept.
    I like the tutorial CD Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com. Note that the value is in the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual. The time spent learning modern digital image capture workflow via the tutorial is invaluable.

  • Removing images from PSE7 catalog whenever try to enlarge view

    Just recently, I have started to have an issue whenever I try to enlarge some of my images for viewing on PSE7. When I doubleclick on the image that I want to enlarge, the image is removed from the thumbnails as if it was removed from the catalog.When I try to import the image back, the "already in catalog" message pops up,but I cannot find the image anywhere. Does anyone know what can be causing this and how can I bring the image to show back in the thumbnails index? I thought that I had accidentally hid the images from view, but that does not seem to be the case.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    One change done for Network drives is that it shows only those folders present on network (along with its parents) from which you have imported files to Organizer. This is done mainly to enhance performance of Folder Location View when working with Network drives. (Overhead of showing the entire folder hierachy in Folder View is that expanding the folder tree takes significant amount of time.) It is because of this change that new folders created on network don't show up in folder view until they are managed.
    Same happens when you create a new folder on a network drive via folder view. The folder is created but since it is not managed/imported to Organizer, it doesn't show up in the view.
    So for your workflow, I would suggest the following workaround:
    1. Place all folders inside a parent folder on network drive
    2. Import files from atleast one sub folder of the network using Get Files and photos
    3. The manged sub folder and its parent will now show up. Import all other sub folders of the parent by using 'Import to Organizer' available for the parent folder.You may keep adding new folders to this parent folder in future and import them using import option available for the parent
    Hope that hepls. thanks.

  • Pages 5.0 removing images from tables.

    After upgrading to Pages 5.0 I now receive a message when opening any file with a table that has images in the cells.  Basically Pages is removing all images from table cells.  Anyone having this problem and is there an easy fix?

    DrBrian, this is what I did to resolve this issue.  I found out that we may still have Pages 09 installed on our systems! Go into Finder - Applications.  If you have a folder titled iWork 09 click it and you may find Pages 09 there.  Double click to open Pages version 09 where you will be able to open all of your files just as they should be. 
    I will not be using the new Pages upgrade.  I have too much time invested in creating documents and templates for my business and I am not willing to re-learn a new package which has much less functionality.  Hope this helps you.

    Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a  polyphonic stereo mix ?
    If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
    The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
    Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
    1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
    2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
    3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
    4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
    5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
    6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
    7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.

  • Removing images from cover flow

    I haved added some album art to my iTunes library. This was for songs I had downloaded from my own CD library. Some images I found online, but for those I could not find I used iTunes command in the advanced menu – GET ALBUM ARTWORK. This resulted in a few wrong choices on Apple's part. Now, I don't know how to get rid of them. Using "Get Info" in the File menu and going to Artwork only lets me change these new images in the small box below the playlists. I can't seem to remove the image from the Cover Flow view.

    Hi-
    On the flip-side, how do you remove album artwork created by ones self?! I added some images in the "artwork frame" that were from my personal image bank and now I can't delete or change them. I have searched for a solution and can't seem to find an answer. Am I stuck with them now?
    Thanks,

  • Removing images from Apple TV

    How do you remove cached images from your Apple TV library? Home sharing is on; we have library's on our computer but old images remain on the Apple TV.

    I have an iPad and Apple TV with Photostream used on both. I tried deleting photos from Photostream (on the iPad) and some still remain (most did delete).
    In order to clear Photostream, I completely eliminated it from the iPad and turned it off. I signed off Photostream on Apple TV and restarted it. Even though the photos originated on the iPad and it's been completely deleted from there and completely turned off there ... they still show up on Apple TV.
    I restored Apple TV back to factory state and it reloaded the software update. After all that (and with no Photostream on the iPad) Apple TV still, somehow, gets all the old photos (including some of the prior deleted ones) when it should be getting none at all. Photostream has been "on" nowhere at all.
    I don't seem to be even able to get rid of all the pictures in Photostream, no matter what I do!

  • Removing access from Project creator by admin account

    We are working with Microsoft Project Server 2013 installed with Sharepoint server 2013 
    We have two users U1 and U2 and Admin account as A1
    U1 created a Project P1 and gave owner access to U2
    after that Admin A1 removed U1 from owners list but still U1 is able to browse project with same access level.
    We want to Remove access of U1 from Project P1 with help of admin account.
    Tech Learner

    Change the project owner from U1 to U2 in the project information page in PWA. From the project center, click on the project P1, go to the project detail page and update the "project owner" field for U2.
    Already Did
    Then U2 must set himself as the status manager of the project. Ask the user U2 (be aware that this operation CANNOT be done by the admin) to open the project in MS Project, insert the status manager column and set his name (U2) for all tasks of the project.
    Save and publish the project.
    What is Status Manager ? I can't find such permission level anywhere in Project Server 2013
    See this blog
    from EPMA which explains the procedure very well.
    Not exactly for Project server 2013 
    In case U1 still has the same access to the project, it might be due to your RBS/categories configuration. 
    what is RBS/Categories Configuration n PS 2013 ?
