![]() using Photos as a quick way to view / delete photos), deleting those that are no good, and then saving the remainder as referenced images? Perhaps import to Photos, put in an album, review, tag with keyword, find in 'imported', delete unwanted, then export remainder as unmodified originals, then re-import (if you want referenced).?Ĭan you have a managed Photos library entirely on a separate hard drive (so not taking up space on Mac)? Is there a simple workflow for importing images from a camera (i.e. Importing from a camera or SD card - am I correct that there is no way to import these as referenced files 'via' Photos (so I could create folders on the hard drive in Finder, and copy/paste from the SD card to that folder, and then import to Photos.but I can't create a referenced folder directly via Photos (which I think you could do in Aperture)? So any import that is not from a folder on the hard drive automatically goes into the managed library? If you use Photos with referenced files and delete an image, as far as I can see this just removes the image from the Photos library and the original remains where it is - is there any way to delete the original file via Photos (say if you are sorting through a load of photos and want to get rid of several that are no good)? Or would this ultimately be a manual process via Finder? Is there any way to quickly go through and tag or mark photos, other than as a 'favourite'? I guess this is through keywords with a shortcut key (e.g. the photos / recents / imports etc)? As far as I can see you can't do a 'permanent deletion' from an album (it just removes the image from the album)? If so, can a 'permanent deletion' only take place from the 'library' section (i.e. doesn't just get hidden by Photos with the image file still residing somewhere and taking up space)? If you use Photos as a managed system and delete an image (then empty the Photos trash) does it permanently delete that image from the library (i.e. how Photos works on a Mac.sorry in advance for mangling the terminology. ![]() referenced files HiĪ couple of questions re. Referenced files on external hard drive, located at /Volumes/Media/Photosĭeleting from Photos plus other queries re. It is most important to me that I not lose the keywords, but I'd also like to be able to find the files in the finder. I thought about starting over, but since I imported many photos from the last three months, and assigned various keywords, I'd hate to lose all that work. Is there a way to get this option working, so that I can locate the original images of the older photos if I need them? To test, I made a smart album, and they are all classified as being a referenced image. ![]() Nothing at all happened when I try it on one of the older images that was imported from Aperture, but it does work on the images that were recently imported directly into Photos. Today I tried to locate some of the referenced files by choosing the option "Show Referenced File in Finder" (which is not greyed out). I then imported three months of new images into Photos, as referenced files. Things seemed to go well, and the keywords and other info was preserved. I recently imported my Aperture library to a new Photos library following the directions at:Īlmost all of my images are stored as referenced files, on an external hard drive connected by usb.
