I should have replied to this much earlier. In the end I went into Aperture and deleted all the AE keywords, which solved that particular issue (I didn’t realise until I started this post that unchecking those boxes would presumably have prevented it happening in the first place). So we ended up with lots of keywords like Albums, then Albums | TP, then Albums | TP | Old TP… and so on. It turns out that AE had added keywords for Albums. When I tried this, C1 would not import the keywords because of some characters it didn’t like. However, relevant to this post about AE, the advice I followed suggested transferring the keywords first (something about preserving the keyword hierarchy). This morning I had my first go at transferring a folder of film scans, and I might write a bit more about that later. Meanwhile, I had to decide whether to buy the Capture One Pro Fuji version before the price went up at the end of August. That was on a 2014 MacBook Pro, library on the SSD and exported to a Seagate USB disk. Might be worth it, too, as when I finally pressed Go, it took about 11 hours to process at most 10,000 images (the “ ETA” guide is useless, by that way it counts down, but then jumps up when the computer sleeps, so that in the end the ETA was 24 hours!). You can only run AE on the whole library… except of course you can export any part of your existing Aperture library as a new library, then run AE on that. You can create folders for albums, and I didn’t notice that boxes were checked for creating keywords for images in Albums, and tagging Faces with keywords. There are some interesting options, including the ability to generate JPEGs for images 3* (say) and under, and TIFFs for 4* and up images. It reported that I had some 32,000 images and 1024 Projects (a slightly suspicious number). This doesn’t watermark, but is limited to 10 images per Project. First was that I got a trial of ApertureExporter. Can anyone confirm this? Is there a way to get referenced files into the Aperture Library (or even find out which projects are referenced)? I’m presuming these might be from my experiments with referenced files, rather than those in the Aperture Library (the vast majority). (I’ll try doing the same for albums.) However, in the process I’ve had warnings that some files are not available at full resolution. I’ve been putting some metadata in filenames, eg film stock, film camera used etc, so I’m currently undertaking the rather massive task of transferring this metadata to keywords. I believe there is an Aperture importer tool in Capture One has anyone any experience with this? I guess ApertureExporter would be helpful, though I have not yet tried using it. Post HT209594 warns that Apple Aperture will not work in the next release after MacOS Mojave, for technical reasons. There is advice on how to migrate your Aperture Library to Photos, or to Lightroom Classic, but not to Luminar or Capture One Pro.
