Fortunately, Appendix A has a few solutions. But think carefully about the consequences before embarking on this path. As far as Photos is concerned, those libraries were frozen in time the moment you converted them. The best you can hope to accomplish by continuing to use iPhoto or Aperture is to export newly edited items, and then import them into Photos.
And even if those apps could export a project, Photos can only import individual image and video files. Oh well! While you can create multiple Photos libraries, as Chapter 10 explains, maintaining and merging them is a nightmare. Fortunately, merging Aperture libraries is easy. Navigate to where the other library lives, select it, and then click Import. Repeat this process for any additional Aperture libraries you wish to merge. If you have Aperture 3. Before you begin, be sure to open each iPhoto library in the latest version of iPhoto 9.
Repeat this process for each additional iPhoto library that needs merging. The result is an Aperture library that includes everything from the first iPhoto library you picked and from all the additional iPhoto libraries you imported. You can now use Photos to upgrade the resulting merged library to a new Photos library. You can buy a program to merge your iPhoto libraries, which is by far the most civilized approach. Using it is a straightforward affair: Simply drag your iPhoto libraries onto its window, select some options for handling duplicate images, and let it rip.
You can then upgrade the resulting merged iPhoto library to a new Photos library. If you used iPhoto or Aperture to edit some pictures or videos, you should export those files before deleting their libraries. Afterward, you can import the exported goodies into Photos in myriad ways, as Chapter 2 explains. Either way, the file disappears from its original location in the Pictures folder or wherever it was and cools its heels in the Trash. One of the main reasons Apple created Photos is to provide a better way to manage and access all your pictures and videos across your devices: your Macs, iOS devices, cameras, and so on.
Apple named their solution iCloud Photo Library. While the dynamic duo of Photos and iCloud Photo Library is more than adequate for most people, professional photographers need a more robust solution. That content is then downloaded into the Photos app on your other devices Macs and iOS gadgets included. Changes you make on one device are automatically synced to all your other devices. You can even view and manage your Photos library from any Internet-connected web browser.
It depends on which iCloud-sharing service you go with. Apple offers three ways to share your picture and videos across multiple devices, and they each suit different purposes:. My Photo Stream free automatically syncs all your recent pictures and videos with all your devices Mac and iOS gadgets.
It then delivers smaller versions onto your iOS devices. When you need the full-quality version of an image—say, when you edit it—iCloud Photo Library delivers it to the device.
As your device runs out of space, full-quality versions of the pictures and video you access the least are removed to make room for the new ones. As explained in the box on Optimizing iCloud Storage Space on Your Devices , you can choose to use smaller versions of files on your Mac, too. It manages your albums. For example, if you create or edit an album on one device, that change propagates to all your other devices.
Edit anything, anywhere. That means you can start editing a photo or video on one device and finish the job on another. See your pictures and videos on any computer. You can log into your iCloud account from the web browser on any Internet-connected computer.
Just go to iCloud. How cool is that? This includes everything you add to your Photos library—pictures from other digital cameras including raw files , scans of old photos and documents, videos, screen captures from your iOS devices—everything. What it costs. Everyone who registers their Mac or iOS device with Apple gets an Apple ID and five gigabytes of free storage space Apple prompts you to register the minute you power up your new Apple device.
While this is sufficient for backing up your iPhone, storing email, and saving a few Keynote files, snap-happy photographers will use up this space at warp speed. These prices are per person , meaning that no one else can share the extra storage with you. In other words, each person with a Photos library is responsible for his or her own iCloud storage. If you pony up for more iCloud storage space but then stop paying, your devices keep the items that are already stored on them, but syncing between devices comes to a screeching halt and you no longer have a complete backup of all your stuff on the iCloud servers.
The result is that your Mac becomes the only device that has full-quality pictures and videos, and your iOS devices contain a mix of full-quality and smaller versions. Aside from the monthly fee, uploading your library for the first time and syncing it to your iOS devices can take days. One can hope! Here are three key things to remember:.
Only the content of your System Photo Library is uploaded to iCloud. If you maintain multiple Photos libraries see Using Multiple Libraries , you can anoint only one of them your System Photo Library Switching Between Libraries explains how —iCloud ignores all your other libraries.
This is one of the many reasons why maintaining a single Photos library per Mac user account makes managing Photos a whole lot easier. How it works. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.
Posted on Jan 7, PM. Page content loaded. Since Photos is supposed to be able to migrate Aperture Libraries to Photos it should be able to handle at least photos and videos. The size of the volume with your library will be the more important limit. Do not let the library grow so large, that it fills the volume completely and you have no free working storage on the volume, if the library should need repairing. Jan 7, PM.
In June , Apple announced that development of Aperture has been discontinued. Since then, Apple has released many major macOS upgrades.
To continue working with your Aperture photo libraries, you must migrate them to another photo app. You can migrate them to the Photos app , which is included with macOS Yosemite or later , or migrate them to Adobe Lightroom Classic or another app.
You should do this before upgrading to macOS Catalina or later. Follow these steps if you're using macOS Mojave or earlier :. If you upgraded to macOS Catalina or later before migrating your library to Photos, follow these steps:. Adobe Lightroom Classic version 5. When an Aperture library is migrated to Lightroom, your library's organization, metadata, and image adjustments are preserved, with some exceptions:.
