To turn on referenced image badge overlays:
1 Choose Aperture > Preferences.
2 Select the “Badge referenced images” checkbox.
You can select and work with online referenced images using the same procedures you
use with images whose master files reside in the Aperture Library.
Aperture keeps track of referenced images’ master files when you simply move or
rename the files in the Finder, keeping them on the same hard disk or volume.
A referenced image appears as an offline image if the hard disk holding the referenced
image’s master file has been disconnected from your computer system. A referenced
image is listed as “not found” when its master file has been deleted, moved to the
Trash, or moved from its original hard disk location to another hard disk drive and
Aperture can’t find it.
Displaying a List of Referenced Images
When working with numerous images in the Browser, you may need to determine
which images have master files that reside in the Aperture Library and which are
referenced images whose master files are located elsewhere on your hard disks.
You can select a group of images in the Browser and then have Aperture show a list of
the referenced images within the selection and where the master files are located.
To see a list of referenced images in a selection:
1 In the Browser, select the group of images you want.
2 Choose File > Manage Referenced Files.
The Referenced Files dialog appears.
