putting a photo in the trash
What is the best way to delete photos and put them in the trash? not just remove them from the album. When I am rating pictures in a project and want to delete the ones I don't want I only see remove from album. I have to put the ones I don't want back into the catalog and then I get the option to put them in the trash. There must be an easier way. Thanks!

I also have this question. My C1 catalog is managed. I import my images into user albums and work with them from there. If I want to delete an image I have to go into the recent imports or the catalog. Deleting from the album only takes it out from the album and leaves it in the catalog. Maybe I am managing them incorrectly?
I also wish I could select a group of images and drag them into the trash. C1 can't do this. ☹️0 -
This question seems to have been coming up a lot recently, and I understand why as it took me a few days to figure it out.
Put simply all your images reside in the Catalog and can be put into as many albums/collections as you like for organisational purposes, because they are all simply Variants of the master image in the Catalog (whether the master is stored in the Catalog or as a Reference to a file on disk). Therefore, deleting an image when you are in an Album view does not assume that you don't want to keep the image in the Catalog.
So, with that in mind, while Aperture does allow you to delete directly from a Project (and remove all referenced Versions of that image from everywhere), CO has the image in the Catalog rather than the Project and follows much the same workflow:
-- In Aperture, I would mark images as Rejects, then go to the Rejects smart folder at the Aperture Library level, select all and delete, and then empty the Aperture Trash.
-- In CO, I mark images as rejects by applying the Red tag (minus key), then filter for Red tags at the CO Catalog level, select all and delete, and then empty the CO Trash.
Note that if you have several variants of an image, and only one is tagged Red, it won't delete the master from the Catalog, as you'd hope! That is, it will only delete the master file in the Catalog if you try to delete the *only* Variant.
Not too bad?

Hi Nick,
No, not too bad at all! 😊 Unfortunately, I am coming to the conclusion that this is the only way to do it. It seems to be a natural consequence due to how Phase One structured their Recent Imports vs. Albums. All of this would go away if the Recent Imports were replaced by the Albums. It's all a little clumsy compared to Aperture but I take this as another quirk of the system. Maybe Phase One has plans to update this? 😉0
