Reconnected Managed (vs. Referenced) Images
I've discovered that if I use the external editor command to open and operate PhotoShop CS2 on images, Aperture can lose it's connections between previews and masters. Not only has this happened to individual images, but also to images in an entire project.
When I try to work on images in this project I get a message telling me that I need to reconnect my images to the masters. Of course, since I'm using managed (as opposed to referenced files) I can't go to my file directory to find the masters. My masters are embedded in the Aperture library; therefore, not directly accessible outside of Aperture (as far as I know).
Unfortunately, I overwrote my good backup photo files before I realized I had an project-wide problem. For future reference, is there any way I can rescue these images and prevent this from happening again?
