Create and apply eects
If you frequently use the same adjustment parameter settings, you can save the settings as an
eect. For example, you can create an eect that converts a color image to black and white. You
can create eects for individual adjustments or for a set of multiple adjustments.
When you create an eect, it appears in the Eects pop-up menu in the Adjustments inspector
and the Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD. New eects appear at the bottom of the Eects
pop-up menu. As this list grows, it can become dicult to locate a specic eect in a long list of
eects. You can rearrange the order of the eects to make them easier to nd.
You can also organize eects of like type by grouping them into eect groups, and you can
export eects to use them on another Aperture system.
Important: In previous versions of Aperture, eects (formerly known as adjustment presets) for
single adjustments were accessible via the Preset Action pop-up menu for each adjustment.
Presets were created and stored in the preset dialog for that adjustment. If you created and
saved adjustment presets in a previous version of Aperture, the adjustment presets now appear
as eects in the Eects pop-up menu at the top of the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments
pane of the Inspector HUD. If you want to remove adjustment presets created in previous
versions of Aperture, see “Modify eects,” below.
