Chapter 3 Work with projects and the library 77
3 Do one of the following:
•
To repair the permissions of the les within your Aperture library: Select Repair Permissions.
This option should be used when Aperture can’t access some of the image les within the
database or is unable to open the library. The Repair Permissions option reviews each le
in your Aperture library and sets the read-and-write access of each le where appropriate,
allowing Aperture to access the les again.
Note: This option does not relocate referenced images whose original image les are oine.
For more information about reconnecting oine images, see Work with referenced images on
page 67.
•
To repair your Aperture library le: Select Repair Database.
This is the rst option you should use if you believe there is something wrong with the
Aperture library other than image le access issues.
•
To rebuild your database from scratch: Select Rebuild Database.
Rebuilding large libraries can be time-consuming; use this option if you’ve tried repairing
your database and the issues with your library persist. Aperture examines the library’s entire
database and rebuilds each component until it reconstitutes your original Aperture library.
4 Depending on your selection, click Repair or Rebuild.
Aperture either xes le permissions within the library or repairs or rebuilds the library, and then
opens the application workspace.
