Operation Manual

A Finder window appears, displaying the selected referenced image’s master.
Note: If you open a referenced image’s master from the Finder in another application,
you won’t see the changes or adjustments you’ve made to the image in Aperture. Your
changes appear in versions stored in the Aperture library, and the referenced image’s
master is always left unchanged. To see the adjusted photo, you need to export a version
of it.
Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images
When a referenced image’s master is offline, you can’t make adjustments to the image
until you reconnect the master to your Aperture system. If you have disconnected a hard
disk drive that holds a referenced image’s master, you can reconnect the drive to your
computer system and Aperture automatically locates the hard disk and reconnects the
master.
If an image is offline or modified in some way that makes it unrecognizable as the original
referenced image, you can still select it and Aperture can reconnect the master for the
specific image.
To reconnect an offline referenced image
1 Reconnect the hard disk holding the referenced image’s master, or otherwise locate or
make the file available to Aperture for reconnecting.
2 Select the project that contains the offline image you want to reconnect, or select the
offline image in the Browser.
3 Choose File > Locate Referenced Files.
