`Preface
`
`Welcome to Aperture
`Aperture is a powerful and easy-to-use digital image management system that can track thousands of
`digital images and provides the avid photographer with high-quality image management and adjustment
`tools.
`
`With Aperture, you can efficiently import digital images, perform a photo edit, adjust and retouch
`images, publish images for the web or print, export libraries for use on other Aperture systems, merge
`libraries, and back up your entire image library for safekeeping. Aperture lets you work with
`high-quality JPEG, TIFF, and RAW image files—and even HD video files—directly from your camera or
`card reader and maintain that high quality throughout your workflow.

`Aperture 3 User Manual: About Aperture
`

`
`About Aperture
`Designed for the needs of professional photographers, Aperture is a photo editing and management tool
`that provides:
`•An advanced RAW workflow: From capture to output, you can work with your images captured as
`RAW files, without having to first convert them to another format before viewing, adjusting,
`organizing, or printing them. Aperture supports RAW formats from leading digital camera
`manufacturers, including Canon and Nikon.
`
`•Flexible image management: An open library structure lets you store photos, audio clips, and video
`clips anywhere you want. You can have Aperture store image, audio, and video files in the library or
`simply link to the files in their current locations. You can also have Aperture link to your iPhoto library
`without copying the images into the Aperture library. Aperture can work with photos stored on any
`number of hard disk drives and other storage media. You can catalog and search for images that are
`stored on multiple hard disks, including offline volumes, CDs, and DVDs.
`•Professional project management: Aperture allows you to manage thousands of projects and
`provides flexible organizational tools, comprehensive metadata support, and powerful search tools
`that let you find files instantly. You can export any part of your library, make changes to it on a
`second Aperture system, and then merge it back into the library of your primary Aperture system.
`
`•Nondestructive image processing: Designed to protect your images from the moment they’re imported,
`Aperture identifies your original images as digital “masters” and has built-in safeguards to help ensure
`that you don’t accidentally overwrite or modify them.
`•Versatile printing and publishing: Working directly with your RAW images, you can create color-
`accurate prints, custom contact sheets, stunning websites, and unique bound books with tools that
`are intuitive and powerful.
`•Robust backup: Beginning at import, you can set Aperture to automatically back up copies of your
`image files. You can also use the Vault pane of the Library inspector to manage multiple vaults
`(containing copies of the Aperture library), which can then be stored in offsite locations, protecting
`your library of image assets in the case of a catastrophic event.

`

`An Overview of Aperture 1
`
`Aperture is designed to be the center of your digital photography workflow, from capturing new images
`to the final delivery of professional-quality photographs. You can also use Aperture to organize your
`audio and video clips for use with multimedia slideshow presentations, share photos with social
`networking websites, and publish photos on your personal website.
`
`This chapter provides an overview of how Aperture works and what you can do with it. However,
`this chapter doesn’t provide all the detailed information and instructions needed to perform work
`on your images. If you’re new to Aperture, this chapter is for you. If you’re familiar with the
`Aperture features and interface, feel free to skip this chapter. Once you’re familiar with Aperture,
`you’ll find in-depth explanations and instructions in later chapters.

`
`Creating Projects and Importing Your Photos
`To use Aperture, you first import your photos. You can import digital photos directly from your
`camera or a card reader and from hard disks or other storage devices where you’ve archived digital
`files. After a shoot, you can connect your digital camera or card reader to your computer and
`Aperture automatically detects it. You can then easily import your new images into Aperture.
`
`Aperture automatically imports any audio attachments associated with your image files, provided they
`have the same filename. In addition to importing photos into Aperture, you can also import QuickTime-
`compatible audio and video files.

`
`Creating Projects
`As you work with Aperture, you create projects to hold your images. A project is similar to a folder
`that can hold dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of images. For example, after completing a shoot
`of a foot race in Antarctica, you might create a new project named Antarctica and import the photos
`into it. When you need to further subdivide and organize images in a project, you can create albums.
`
`Your new project appears in a list in the Library inspector.

`
`As your portfolio increases and you create more and more projects, you can organize your work into
`hierarchies of folders, projects, and albums.
`
`You can create as many projects as you need and name them according to any naming scheme you
`prefer. It’s important to name projects so that they are easy to identify and access.
`
`Over the long term you may be using Aperture to track years of projects, so you’ll want to develop a
`naming system that is easy to use and understand. For more information about organizing your
`images in projects and albums, see “Working with the Aperture Library.”

`Viewing Projects in Projects View
`Aperture organizes the images in your library using projects. Projects view provides a convenient way to
`visually review the projects in your library. When you select Projects in the Library inspector, the
`Aperture main window switches to Projects view. Each project is represented by a single image, but you

`

`can move the pointer over each project to reveal all the images in the project in succession.
`
`You can choose one image per project to appear as the “key photo” when reviewing your projects in
`Projects view. You can also have Aperture group the projects according to either the year the
`images were taken or the folder each project resides in.

`Working with the Aperture Trash
`As you delete versions, masters, projects, folders, and albums in Aperture, they are placed in the
`Aperture Trash. The Aperture Trash acts as a container of final review. When you empty the Aperture
`Trash, its contents are removed from Aperture.

`You can select and import all the images or only those you want. You can also select image files on
`your hard disk for importing.
`
`Select your camera, card reader, or computer hard disk

`Specify import options here.
`
`When you click this button, your images are imported
`into the selected project or a new project.
`
`After you select the images you want to import, you can specify options for importing your images. For
`example, you can specify that your images be imported into the Aperture library file in the Pictures
`folder, or you can choose another location in which to store them. If you have images already stored on
`a hard disk, you can simply allow Aperture to access them without changing their current location. You
`can choose how images are named and include other information that is recorded with each image to
`help identify it. For example, you can specify the event name, date, time, photographer, location, and

`

`copyright information.
`
`You can also specify other import options, such as whether you want Aperture to group related images
`together in stacks. For example, if you have bracketed images or images shot in quick succession, you
`can have Aperture import these images and stack them together to make reviewing and working with
`them easier.
