`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.
`
`This preface covers the following:
`• About Aperture (p. 13)
`• About the Aperture Documentation (p. 14)
`• Additional Resources (p. 15)
`
`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.
`
`About the Aperture Documentation
`Aperture comes with various documents that provide detailed information about using
`the application.
`• Aperture 3 User Manual: This comprehensive document describes the Aperture interface,
`commands, and menus and gives step-by-step instructions for creating Aperture libraries
`and for accomplishing specific tasks. It is written for users of all levels of experience.
`The Aperture 3 User Manual is available in Aperture Help (in Aperture, choose Help >
`Aperture Help).
`Note: This manual is not intended to be a complete guide to the art of photography.
`Much of the photography-specific information presented here is very general in nature
`and is supplied to provide a context for the terminology used when describing Aperture
`functions.
`• Exploring Aperture: This document provides a quick introduction to the main features
`of Aperture. A PDF version of the printed Exploring Aperture manual is available in
`Aperture Help.
`• Aperture 3 Keyboard Shortcuts: This document provides keyboard shortcuts you can use
`to perform tasks in Aperture. A PDF version of the printed Aperture 3 Keyboard Shortcuts
`card is available in Aperture Help.

`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.
`
`This chapter covers the following:
`• A First Look at Aperture (p. 18)
`• Creating Projects and Importing Your Photos (p. 19)
`• Photo Editing with Aperture (p. 24)
`•
`Image Processing (p. 42)

`A First Look at Aperture
`When you first open Aperture, you see the following areas:
`
`Note: Because you can customize the toolbar, adding and deleting buttons and controls,
`your toolbar may look different from the one pictured in this manual. For more information
`about changing the toolbar, see Customizing the Toolbar.

`After you import images into projects, your screen will look similar to this:
`
`About the Aperture Sample Library
`The Aperture installation disc includes a sample library with several projects containing
`high-resolution images. You can import the sample library into your existing Aperture
`library from the Aperture installation disc at any time after installing the application.
`
`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.
`
`For more information about Projects view, see Working in Projects View.

`

`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.
`
`For more information about working with the Trash, see Working with the Aperture Trash.

`

`Importing Images with the Import Browser
`When you connect a digital camera or card reader to your computer, the Import pane
`and Import browser appear. You can select your camera or card reader and see the images
`you’re about to import. 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.
`
`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.

`

`Importing Files from Your Body of Work
`You can easily import your collection of archived digital images into Aperture from any
`hard disk or storage device connected to your computer. When importing legacy images
`from your portfolio, you can move them into the main Aperture library, or you can simply
`identify where the images are located, and Aperture adds them to its management system
`without changing the image locations. This means that you can use Aperture to work
`with your images in their current organization and on multiple hard disks, without
`relocating or reorganizing your files. You can also move or copy images to new locations
`when needed.
`
`Aperture can also import your iPhoto library and files stored in a variety of common file
`types and formats, including:
`• DNG
`• GIF
`• JPEG
`• PNG
`• PSD
`• RAW files from a variety of supported digital cameras
`• TIFF
`
`Note: For a list of supported digital cameras, go to http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.
`
`In addition to importing digital image files, Aperture can also import any
`QuickTime-compatible media file, such as an audio or video file. For more information,
`see Importing Images.
`
`Photo Editing with Aperture
`Aperture allows you to easily view and work with your images onscreen. It provides
`easy-to-use tools and controls, as well as efficient methods for rating images, searching
`for images, and comparing and adjusting images.
`
`Viewing and Working with Images
`To work with your images, you select a project in the Library inspector and Aperture
`displays that project’s images in the Browser. You use the Browser to review, organize,
`and select images. You can display the Browser only or display the Browser and a Viewer
`that shows images in detail.

`

`When you select a thumbnail image in the Browser, the image appears in the Viewer.
`
`The Browser can display your images as thumbnails arranged as a row in a filmstrip or as
`a grid of thumbnails appearing in rows and columns. You can click an individual image
`to select it, and a white border appears around the image. To quickly move to and select
`other images, press the arrow keys. You can drag images to rearrange them in the Browser,
`or drag them into different projects or albums. You can also display your images as a list
`of files.
