It's why Photos is not anywhere near being ready for what you refer to as the pro-am market.Īlso, referenced libraries cannot be used with the iCloud Photo Library. This is the real, core difference between Aperture and Photos, and it's a major limitation. If your storage is on an external - or if, at some point, you need to move it to an external (disk space?), there is no way to do that. Basically, if the path to a file changes (for any reason) then there is no way to relink the file back to the database. It has a single 'consolidate' tool to convert a referenced library to a managed one. It has all sorts of tools to relocate masters, to link unattached masters back to the database and so on. This is a 'referenced' library and Aperture is really good with those. You're making a world of pain for yourself. Any advantage to doing it in Aperture, before the move?įor my money: don't bother. Photos now allows for geotagging, so my plan is to do it in Photos later. I would eventually like to geotag most of them. About half of my files are not geotagged.How does Photos handle the import of video like AVI files? I have a lot of video in Aperture that will only render if launched via Quicktime. Aperture is really bad with video files.
Since my masters are not stored in the Aperture library is there a way to do the migration and have photos rebuild everything, so I can dump the Aperture library (eventually)? My understanding is that Photos will use all the thumbs and edits in the Aperture library, so it becomes frozen in time.Should I change the dates on those, as best possible, in Aperture before migrating? My scanned photos do not have (accurate) create dates.

from the Aperture library and then do a full rebuild first? Should I delete all the thumbs, teenies, etc.Has anyone else done a recent large library import into Photos? Here are a few other questions I am pondering, before doing the migration: I have run the permissions repair and database repair a half dozen times for good measures. I unplugged the external drive and tried doing a search on file status = offline, but it isn't reliable, as I can't refresh the entire database (I tried doing a permissions repair and database repair and it didn't find or flag them). I had about 5,000 masters that were on an external share drive that I am also trying to clean-up, but I am not sure if I got them all. I have also found thousands of "orphaned masters" that I am trying to clean-up. I found a few thousand masters that were being stored in the library, so I moved them out.
I have tried to go through and clean-up my Aperture library as much as possible. ~2500 folders/projects with nesting about 5 levels deep
