Aperture Library Importer

Based on an earlier topic (Migrate Apple Aperture libraries to Aspect), this allows to import an existing Aperture library into Aspect. The functionality is available in the form of a new menu entry “File” → “Import Aperture Library…”.

It will convert the following items of the Aperture library:

  • Files (RAWs, JPEGs and edited versions)
  • Projects will be converted to events
  • Folders will be replicated as groups in the collection pane
  • Albums, books, light tables etc. will be imported as collections
  • Keywords will be converted to XMP metadata

Known Issues

  • Referenced files that are stored outside of the Aperture Library are not imported

Installation

Copy the “aperture-importer” of the downloaded zip archive into the addon folder of your Aspect installation. The folder can be found in the following location:

  • Windows: %AppData%\Roaming\Bildhuus\Aspect\addons
  • macOS: ~/Library/Aspect/addons
  • Linux: ~/.config/aspect/addons

Note that you may need to create the folder if it doesn’t exist, yet.
