View and reply to comments that friends post about your Facebook photos
If you’ve created Facebook albums in Aperture and shared photos from your Aperture library
with your Facebook account, you can use the Info inspector to view comments posted about
the photos by your friends. Aperture makes it easy to reply to comments that appear in the Info
inspector or add your own by opening the appropriate page in your web browser.
1 In the Browser, select a photo shared with Facebook.
2 In the Info inspector or the Info pane of the Inspector HUD, choose Sharing from the Metadata
View pop-up menu.
Comments posted about the selected photo by your friends on Facebook appear in the
Info inspector.
3 To reply to a comment, click it.
Your Internet browser opens to the Facebook page the photo is posted on. You can post your
reply directly in your Facebook account.
