  Hey all,

  hopefully there is an aperture expert among you all!! I’m a PS man but I bought aperture for my wife along with a 5dmkii…

  She had been using iphoto, and had two iphoto libraries as she works off a macbook air, one of current stuff on the MBA and an ALL images library on an external HD

  To begin with I made a referenced library of her iphoto current library, which was fine…. Since then I have been trying to work out how to move her completely to aperture, so…..

  I have imported all her iphoto libraries as managed files into a master aperture library on the external HD….

  Now I want her to have a referenced copy of that on the laptop so she can “see” all of her photos and then a “current” library of managed files exported from Aperture so that she can edit the master files….

  I hope that makes sense!

  Does anyone know if this is even possible?? I want this all to be nice and simple for her, so any advice on how to achieve a similar result but in a different way would be good…. of course she doesnt want to lose any of her iphoto edits or events/albums making it much harder to start with a clean slate!!

  Cheers

  Johnny

  Sorry just to make it clear….

  I don’t want her iphoto library to be the location of her images anymore as she will then have to continue using iphoto to import her images but use Aperture to edit and browse, so I cant use a master aperture library which is referenced on the external HD as this would involve iphoto still…

  I know it would all be much simpler to locate the images in finder and work like that but as i said, she doesn’t want to lose all of her events and albums!!
