Aperture library accidentally trashed! Any hope of recovery?
Robert Boag, Student/Intern

->> So I made the fatal error. I was traveling this week and I made an aperture library on my laptops hardrive (the full library is on an external). When I got back I thought I had relocated all of the master to my main library. I then dropped the aperture library from my laptop into the trashcan and trashed it. I know I made some fatal errors here (didn't back the photos up immediately, assumed that aperture had relocated the masters instead of just referenced the files). But I was wondering if anyone knows a way to recover the deleted library from my laptops harddrive?

I will be backing up everything immediately from now on.

Live and learn,
Robert

->> Am I understanding correctly that you still have the referenced files (images), or did you trash those as well?

->> The referenced previews are still in the library but they cannot be exported because the files they were referenced to were deleted
