Operation Manual

Copying, Moving, and Deleting Referenced Images
You can copy, move, and delete referenced images in your Aperture projects using the
same procedures you use for other Aperture versions and masters.
When you copy a version of a referenced image in Aperture, a new version is created and
tracked in the Aperture library. No new files are recorded on the hard disk in the location
of the referenced image’s master.
When you move a referenced image between projects on your Aperture system, the
referenced master remains in its original location on your hard disk.
When you delete a referenced master from Aperture, you can specify whether the image’s
version is placed in the Aperture Trash. When you empty the Aperture Trash, the link to
the master image file is deleted, and the master image file remains in its current location
in the Finder.
Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Masters
You can search for images using their file status. For example, you can search for images
that are referenced images, managed images, and online or offline images.
To search for images by file status, you use the File Status search options.
