`1 An Overview of Aperture
`
`1
`
`Aperture is a powerful and easy-to-use digital image
`management system that can track thousands of digital
`images and provides professional-quality tools for working
`with your photos.
`
`Aperture is a nondestructive image processing and database application that lets
`you efficiently acquire digital images, perform photo edits, adjust and retouch
`images, publish images on the web or in print, export images, and back up your
`images for safekeeping.
`
`Before starting work, you need to understand how Aperture is used in your workflow.
`You’ll also need to find out about the basic elements used as you work with your
`images in Aperture.
`
`Using Aperture in Your Workflow
`The following illustration shows the basic workflow steps you generally follow when
`using Aperture. Keep in mind that workflows can vary, either from person to person or
`from project to project. As you work in Aperture, you may not always proceed in strict
`linear order, and you may choose to overlap some steps.

`
`Apply adjustments

`
`As you photo edit, you
`can view information
`about an image using
`the Metadata Inspector.
`
`Use the Vaults panel for
`backing up your images.
`
`Step 1: Set up your Aperture system
`For this beginning stage, you set up your Aperture system by connecting the hardware
`you need. For most users, it’s fairly straightforward: simply connect your camera or card
`reader to a FireWire or USB port on your computer, then turn on your computer and
`open Aperture.
`
`Step 2: Acquire images and create projects
`Once you’ve set up your Aperture system, you need to import your images into
`Aperture. Acquiring, or importing, images is the process of getting the images from
`your camera, a card reader, external storage media (such as a CD, DVD, or external hard
`disk drive), or folders on your computer into Aperture. You can choose to acquire many
`images, such as all the ones on a card, or selected images only. Before or during the
`import process, you have the option to create a new project to store your images. You
`can also create projects after importing, or at any stage in the process.
`
`You can also import all or just a portion of your iPhoto Library. When you import your
`iPhoto Library, Aperture maintains the structure as well as all adjustments and
`information, also known as metadata, applied to the images.

`
`

`

`
`
`Step 3: Photo edit
`For this stage, you’ll sort through your images and choose which images you want to
`work with and further adjust. You can add keywords, captions, or other text to your
`images to help you sort and organize them, as well as apply ratings and stack related
`images together.
`
`You can also group images to further organize them. You can find images using the
`Query HUD (heads-up display), a floating panel with search options. You can also create
`containers, such as folders and albums, within projects to further manage your images.
`Aperture also uses Smart Albums, which are albums that can be dynamically generated
`and updated based on specific search criteria you specify in the Query HUD. This can
`save you time and effort finding just the right images.
`
`Step 4: Apply adjustments
`With Aperture, you can make adjustments to images, including adjusting exposure,
`levels, and white balance and eliminating red-eye. You can also crop, rotate, and resize
`images. If you want to make adjustments that involve compositing, you can easily work
`with your images in another application, known as an external editor, such as Adobe
`Photoshop; adjusted images automatically appear in Aperture when the image is saved.
`You can apply different adjustments to multiple versions of the same image.
`
`Step 5: Distribute your images
`Aperture provides several options for distributing your images. You can print images
`directly to a printer, export images for delivery to a professional photo lab, or create a
`book of images for printing using the printing service supplied by your .Mac account.
`Aperture also includes tools that allow you to publish photos on the web and create
`online journals without having to know any HTML. You can also use slideshows to
`present work to clients or provide a background of images and music during an event.
`
`Step 6: Back up your images
`You can make a backup copy of your Aperture Library and store it in one or more vaults
`located on external hard disk drives—usually FireWire drives. The Library includes your
`projects, digital master files, and any versions you’ve created.

`

`
`
`Elements Used in Aperture
`In Aperture, you use projects, albums, and folders to organize your images as you work.
`Other important elements are the Library, used to manage your files, and the vault for
`storing backup copies of your Library.
`Â Digital master files: The original image files imported from your camera, memory
`card, computer, or external storage media. The digital master files are never changed,
`so that the original image is preserved and can be used again.
`Â Versions: These are files used to display the master files, as well as store any changes
`you’ve made to images (such as image adjustments or changes to metadata).
`Â Projects: Container files used to hold digital master files, versions, and albums. When
`project files are moved, the contents are moved with them.
`Â Albums: Used to organize versions. You can create albums within projects or outside
`of them. Types of albums include Smart Albums, Light Table albums, web gallery
`albums, web journal albums, and book albums.
`Â Folders: Used to organize projects and albums within projects.
`Â Library: A database that manages your files from import to image adjustments and
`final distribution. Once you import images, the Library records and tracks your digital
`master files and corresponding versions. The Library also tracks projects and albums
`you create to organize your images.
`Â Managed and referenced images: Master files stored in the Aperture Library are
`called managed images because Aperture manages the location of the images in its
`database. Managed images are physically located in the Aperture Library file in the
`Pictures folder. You can also import images into Aperture without storing the digital
`master files in the Library. Images that are not stored in the Library file are called
`referenced images. Aperture links to referenced images in their current locations on
`your hard disk, without placing them in the Aperture Library file.
`Â Vaults: A vault holds your backed-up images and is a copy of your Library.
`
`For details about each of these elements and how you work with them in Aperture, see
`the next few sections.
`
`What Are Digital Master Files?
`A digital master file is the original RAW, JPEG, TIFF, or PNG file that was imported into
`Aperture from your camera, a memory card, a computer, or external storage media
`such as an external hard disk drive or CD. Aperture never changes the master file, so
`you always have originals to work from.
`
`Important: Digital master files—especially RAW files—tend to be quite large. Projects
`consisting of several thousand digital master files require high-capacity hard disks.
`
`For information about importing your digital master files, see Chapter 5, “Importing
`Images,” on page 55.

`
`

`

`
`
`What Are Versions?
`Once you have digital master files on your hard disk, you can review and make
`adjustments to your images. For example, you can change the exposure, contrast, or
`saturation, or add information to an image, such as the photographer’s name, event,
`and location. To work with images, Aperture creates a “version” of each master file that
`includes your adjustments and embedded information, and leaves the master file
`unchanged. A version refers to the master file on your hard disk, but it is not the master
`file itself. Versions store only the thumbnail image, adjustments, and embedded
`information. A full image file is not created until you are ready to print or export, saving
`valuable storage space on your hard disk.

`
`When you create a version, several things occur:
`Â Aperture reads the original master file on disk and displays it on the screen.
`Â As you make adjustments or add information to the image, Aperture uses floating-
`point calculations to display the image with those changes, but the original master
`file is never changed.
`
`You can create as many versions of an image as you need. For example, a client may
`request color, sepia, and black-and-white versions of the same wedding shot. Instead of
`saving multiple copies of that image, as you would with other applications, you simply
`create different versions of the master file.

`
`

`

`
`
`What Are Projects?
`You organize your digital master files and versions using projects. A project is a
`container file consisting of up to 10,000 master files and as many versions as you like.
`You can create as many projects as you wish up to the limitations of your disk space.
`For example, you can create a new project for each of your shoots. Or if you do several
`shoots of the same subject, you may want to create a project that encompasses all of
`the shoots. Projects are essential elements because they maintain your digital master
`files and track all changes to versions.
`
`You can easily transfer projects from one Aperture system to another. All links between
`versions and their master files are maintained when projects are transferred. This is
`particularly useful if you use a portable computer when on location or away from your
`studio, and a workstation at your studio. For more information, see “Transferring
`Projects from Another Aperture System” on page 67.

`
`What Are Albums?
`An album is a type of container in the Aperture Library that holds only versions (not
`the digital master files to which they refer). Albums help you organize images in the
`Library, making your versions easier to manage. You can create albums at the Library
`level or within a project.
`
`Albums created at the Library level are used to organize versions from multiple
`projects. For example, you can create an album at the Library level to consolidate your
`favorite images, known as selects, from multiple clients (each represented by a project).
`You can then publish this collection of selects on your website or export the album’s
`contents and burn them to a DVD for review by a prospective client.

`

`You can also create albums within projects to help you organize your images into
`relevant groups. For example, images in your Antarctica project can be divided into
`three albums: Antarctica Selects, On Land, and Underwater.
`
`
`
`Three albums created
`within one project
`
`Note: You can also place versions from other projects in an album that resides within
`a project.
`
`There are two main types of albums, each suited to a particular function:
`Â Album: A type of folder containing image versions. You can view only the versions
`that you’ve placed in the album.
`Â Smart Albums: This type of album contains image versions as well, but the contents
`are controlled by search criteria that you specify. When you change the criteria
`associated with a particular Smart Album, the contents of the Smart Album
`automatically change. For more information about Smart Albums, see Chapter 13,
`“Grouping Images with Smart Albums,” on page 151.
`
`Changes made to versions in albums have no effect on the original digital master files
`on your computer’s hard disk. If you delete a version from one album, the digital
`master file is not deleted from the hard disk.

`

`What Are Folders?
`In Aperture, folders are used to help organize projects and albums. For example, you
`can import images into projects and then organize the projects into folders based on
`the year, such as 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. And if you shoot multiple projects for the
`same client, you can create a folder that contains separate projects for that client.
`
`
`
`These folders organize
`images based on what
`year they were shot.
`
`Note: Folders only contain albums, projects, and other folders.
`
`What Is the Library?
`The Aperture Library tracks every project, album, master file, and version no matter
`whether the images are stored in the Aperture Library file or in other hard disk
`locations. Aperture automatically creates a Library file in your Pictures folder the first
`time you open Aperture. You can choose to import images into your Library or have
`Aperture access them from other locations on different hard disks. The Library tracks all
`your images and the information recorded about them, as well as information about
`where backup files are stored. You can access images in the Library by clicking Library
`at the top of the Projects panel.
`
`Projects that you transfer from other Aperture systems to your Aperture system are also
`added to the Library. And when you back up your digital master files to your vaults on
`external FireWire drives, those actions are tracked by the Aperture Library as well.
`
`You can change the location of the Library file to a different folder or a different disk.
`You can create multiple Library files. For more information about working with multiple
`Library files, see the Aperture User Manual in the Aperture Help menu.

`

`
`
`What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
`Aperture lets you choose how you organize your photos on disk. You can store your
`photos in the Aperture Library, or you can import images by simply linking to the
`image files in their current locations, without placing them in the Library.
`
`Images whose digital master files are stored in the Aperture Library are called managed
`images. These master files are stored in the Library exactly as they were in previous
`versions of Aperture. Aperture manages master image files in the Library, keeping them
`always accessible, and provides benefits such as one-click backup of digital master files
`to vaults.
`
`Imported images whose digital master files haven’t been placed in the Library are
`called referenced images. Using referenced images in your Aperture system can provide
`a number of substantial benefits to your photography workflow. You can incorporate
`your existing portfolio of images into Aperture without changing the current location
`of the files. Importing images by reference does not result in a duplication of your
`image files in the Aperture Library, thus saving hard disk space. You can also connect
`and disconnect hard disks holding your referenced images’ master files as you need
`them. This allows you to keep master files for less-used images offline or to make
`specific types of images available for editing or adjustments as needed. Using
`referenced images in your Aperture system provides a means of building a flexible
`image management system customized to your work style.
`
`You specify that an image will be a managed image or a referenced image when you
`import it. When importing images, you can:
`Â Specify that master files be stored in the Aperture Library.
`Â Import images as referenced images, so that their master files remain in their
`current locations.
`Â Move or copy image files to a new location. For example, you might decide that a
`certain group of referenced image files, such as wedding photos, will always be
`placed in one hard disk location, while other groups, such as sports photos, will
`reside in a different hard disk location.
`
`You can work with referenced images—creating versions, making adjustments,
`cropping, and adding metadata—just as you can with images whose master files are
`stored in the Library. Versions that you create from a referenced image are stored in the
`Library. In order for you to make adjustments to a version from a referenced image, the
`referenced image’s master file must be available on your hard disk or other storage
`device. For example, if you delete a referenced image’s master file in the Finder,
`Aperture no longer has access to the master file and so no longer allows you to change
`your versions or create new ones.

`

`
`
`To help you identify referenced images, Aperture marks referenced images with a
`badge overlay that you can display or hide. When a referenced image’s master file is
`missing or offline, its badge changes to show that the image is not accessible. For
`example, if you disconnect a hard disk that holds master files for many referenced
`images, Aperture automatically marks the referenced images in the Browser and Viewer
`as offline. If you reconnect the hard disk or other storage device later, Aperture
`accesses the master files automatically and you can work with and change their
`versions again.
`
`You can also relocate master files, moving them out of the Library or moving referenced
`master files to different hard disk locations. If needed, you can also move referenced
`master files into the Aperture Library by choosing the Consolidate command.
`
`You can search for images based on whether they are managed images, referenced
`images, or online or offline images. Aperture also provides robust file-management
`tools that let you quickly determine which images are offline and easily reconnect
`images that have been moved to different volumes.
`
`What Is a Vault?
`A vault is a container consisting of an exact copy of your Library. This includes your
`projects, managed digital master files, and any versions you’ve created. You can easily
`create and update a vault to back up your Library. It’s best to store your vaults on
`multiple external hard drives connected to your computer, usually via FireWire. A Vault
`Status button changes color when your vaults need updating.
`
`You can have as many vaults as you deem necessary. Creating more than one vault is
`useful if you work at different locations; you can always keep one vault on a FireWire
`drive onsite and another one offsite. All vaults and backup files are tracked by the Library
`so that even if you disconnect the external hard drive that contains your vault, Aperture
`will synchronize it the next time you reconnect the drive and update your vault.
`
`All the managed master file images, versions, and all metadata, previews, and adjustment
`information associated with your images are backed up. The versions, previews, and
`metadata associated with referenced images’ master files are also backed up in the vault.
`Referenced images’ master files are not backed up in the vault with the Library.
