Recover a deleted photo
If you accidentally delete a photo you meant to keep, and you can’t recover it by choosing Undo,
you may be able to recover it from the Aperture Trash.
1 In the Library inspector, select Trash.
All photos currently in the Aperture Trash are displayed in the Browser.
2 Do one of the following:
•
Drag the photo you accidentally deleted back to its original project.
•
Control-click the accidentally deleted photo and choose Put Back from the submenu.
If you’ve already emptied the Aperture Trash, you may be able to recover the photo from the
Finder Trash. If you’ve already emptied the Finder Trash, but you backed up your library before
deleting the photo, you may be able to restore the project containing the deleted photo from
the vault. If you updated your vault after emptying the Aperture Trash, the vault won’t contain
the deleted photo.
Rename original image files
At times, you may want to rename original image files to match the names you’ve assigned to
the photo versions in Aperture. Although Aperture keeps track of your originals regardless of
what they are named, it’s often useful for your image filenames to match inside and outside of
Aperture—especially when the originals are referenced images. For more information about
working with referenced images, see
Work with referenced images on page 67.
Rename originals
1 In the Browser, select a photo or group of photos.
2 Choose Metadata > Batch Change (or press Shift-Command-B).
3 In the Batch Change dialog, choose a naming convention from the Version Name Format pop-up
menu to specify how you want the originals named.
For example, choose Version Name from the Version Name Format pop-up menu to have your
original filenames changed to match the names of the corresponding versions in Aperture. If
you choose a custom name format, enter the name you want in the Custom Name text field. For
more information about naming files, see
Automatically name imported photos on page 37.
4 Select the Apply to Original Files checkbox, then click OK.
The original files corresponding to the selected photos are renamed. For more information about
working with the Batch Change dialog, see
Batch change metadata on page 212.
Drag photos into different projects and albums
You can drag photos into different projects and albums. Depending on where you drag a photo,
Aperture either moves or copies the photo to the new location.
As a general rule, when you drag a photo into a different project, Aperture moves the photo into
the new project.
When you drag a photo into a different album, Aperture creates a duplicate version of the photo
and places it in the album. A photo can be copied into any album in the same project or into
albums in different projects. The destination album can be an album, book album, Light Table
album, slideshow, or web journal or webpage album.
