Damien Symonds Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Gee, it's about a million years since I used Aperture, so my memory is more or less nil. Do you have a version of Photoshop on your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so damn frustrating. Can you do this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Majoroff Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) for my laptop i have saved them in a folder on a hard drive, the whole aperture library. a guy from apple did it for me. i also have another library on my desktop but when i want to open a photo thats how i do it. i have saved some in my pictures and i can open them in bridge from there. just wasnt sure how to save around 60,000 photos and not lose the edits. i need a lunch break and brain break. back soon and thanks for any help you can give me Edited February 11, 2019 by Chris Majoroff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 For now (the next couple of months at least) I don't want you to worry about all your old photos. They can stay in Aperture. What we must concentrate on at the moment are the new photos you shoot. Establish your new Bridge workflow with those. For heaven's sake stop saving photos in folders on your desktop! That's really bad for Macs. 7 minutes ago, Damien Symonds said: Can you do this for me? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Majoroff Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have a Mac desktop running safari and Photoshop CC. It is over 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 375GB free out of 999GB. The last time I shut down was last night. I have never run a cleanup program. sorry i have been away again. happens a lot as i have in laws with health issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 8GB of RAM is the bare minimum that Adobe recommends for running CC. You should be ok, but be aware that you won't be able to open too many photos into Photoshop or ACR at one time, or you'll find it starts to run slowly. For a computer of that age, you definitely should run a cleanup program. This one is widely recommended. Sorry to hear about your in-laws' health. Have you had a chance to do any shooting lately? If so, have you avoided putting the photos in Aperture, and instead browsed them with Bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Majoroff Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 i haven't done much lately but had a session planned today that has canceled due to their illness but i have it in 2 weeks now so something to look forward to. will a clean up program take away anything i may want that i haven't used like i have brought things like workshops and i haven't got to them yet and actions? i have started on getting rid of lots of the junk on my desktop. i am waiting on getting the right light bulb to do my calibration. the reason i still have safari is i am too scared to update as last update, it took away my ability to add any photos to aperture and since that was all i knew it was a pain. i got around it by not updating my laptop and adding the photos to the hard drive i keep my aperture library on. long winded but there is so much i don't understand. i am also old, we don't understand computers as well as young people lol.
