Previous Release Information About Aperture 1.0
The following information was included with Aperture 1.0.
Maximizing the Performance of the Library
To maximize performance, place the Library on an internal hard disk. You can set the
Library’s location in the Preferences window (choose Aperture > Preferences).
Working with Master Files
This section contains information about working with digital master files.
Deleting Master Files Cannot Be Undone
When you delete a master file, the master file and all version information is permanently
removed from the Aperture Library. This includes all applied adjustments and metadata.
You cannot use the Undo command to restore the master file or associated versions.
Deleting a master file also clears the Undo queue, so you cannot undo the series of
actions before the master file deletion.
Deleted Master Files Are Placed in the Trash
Aperture gives you one last chance to review your deleted master files before
permanently deleting them from your hard disk. When you delete master files from
the Aperture Library, they are moved to the Trash. A folder named Aperture appears
in the Trash with the master files sorted into folders named after the projects into
which they were originally imported.
If you update a vault that contained copies of the master files, a folder called
[Name] Deleted Images (where “Name” is the title of the vault) is created at the same
location on the hard disk as the vault. To remove the deleted images from your hard
disk, move the files to the Trash. To make the space these files occupied on both
your internal and external hard disks available, you have to empty the Trash
(choose Finder > Empty Trash).
About Master File Limits in Projects
While Aperture can work with hundreds of thousands of master files, projects can have
a maximum of 10,000 master files each. However, the limit for master files does not
apply to versions. You can create as many versions as you need.
