Deleting Images from Projects and Albums
Aperture allows you to delete versions separately from their digital master files. You can
also delete a master file and all its versions in a project. If you delete a version in an
album (not a project), its master file and related versions are not deleted.
To delete a master file and all its versions from a project:
1 Select the image, then choose File > Delete Master Image and All Versions.
A dialog appears asking if you want to continue.
2 Click the Move to Trash button.
The digital master file and all versions are deleted. If you delete a managed image file,
the master file is removed from the Library. If you delete a referenced image file, the
digital master file is removed from Aperture but left on your hard disk.
To delete only a version from an album:
m Select the image, then choose File > Delete Version.
The version is deleted. The digital master file and its other versions are not deleted.
Warning: This action cannot be undone. Once you click the Move to Trash button, the
master file is moved to the Trash. All versions and their adjustments and metadata are
permanently deleted. To permanently remove the master files from your hard disk,
empty the Trash.
