In Aperture, when I look at the file size of a picture, it might be, for example, 500 kb. If I edit it in Photoshop Elements, and save it back to Aperture, it usually increases in size to 7 MB or so. But, when I look into Pictures>Aperture Library and look for the picture, it remains the origional size, despite having trashed the origional photo. How do I keep the picture as the higher size?

William,
I am not quite sure what you are doing, when you are comparing file sizes.
Let me see, if I got it right, what you are asking about.
But, when I look into Pictures>Aperture Library and look for the picture, it remains the origional size, despite having trashed the origional photo.
Did you send the first image version to the trash and kept the edited version? You will still the original smaller file in the Aperture library, until you empty the Aperture trash.
And you should find a second quasi master(original) in the aperture library.

1. Original format was jpeg
2. Elements goes tiff
3. Correct
Yes, trashed the first image version. Kept the edited.
But I always empty the Aperture trash and then Finder's trash.
What I am finding is the second quasi master in aperture is back to original size not the larger edited version.
Thanks, Leonie

Wayne,
that is really puzzling. I cannot try it in PSE right now on the Mac I am using, but Adobe Photoshop keeps the large master.
Are you sure, you see the second quasi master and not the original in the library? Sometimes deleting the version does not delete the master/original.
To test this, I would import a new image for testing - as referenced image. Then you have easy access to the master and the new quasi master, and can see what happens when you try to delete the original image.
Regards
