Deleting projects to free up disc space
Hi, and apologies that this must have been asked before. I cannot find quite the right answer in the apple discussions pages nor google.
My aperture library is now large enough that it takes an excessive amount of HDD space, and to keep things working smoothly I would like to archive and delete older images. I have backed up with both time machine and also created an aperture vault.
But if I now delete images or projects in aperture, will the backups (TM and vault) be automatically updated to reflect my deletions? ie I will lose the backed up images next time I synchronise a backup
How do I archive the older images and keep them available just in case I want them later, but clear more space on the internal HDD?
I think part of the problem for overall lack of HDD space is that I have imported all my old iPhoto images into the current laptop when the old one bit the dust, and have then imported these into aperture as well. So I now have 20000 images in iPhoto and 25000 in aperture.
Thanks in advance for any help here
