Chapter 2 Import photos 42
2 Do any of the following:
To exclude image les, leaving only audio and video les available for import: Select the “Exclude
photos” checkbox.
To exclude video les during import: Select the “Exclude videos checkbox.
To exclude audio les during import: Select the “Exclude audio les” checkbox.
To exclude all audio les attached to the photos: Select the “Exclude audio attachments” checkbox.
To include only les that were agged or locked using the camera: Select the “Only include les
agged/locked in camera checkbox.
All photos matching the selected criteria appear in the Import browser. To make all the photos
reappear, deselect the checkboxes above.
Important: An audio le is imported into Aperture as an attachment when the audio le’s name
matches the image les name. For example, when you import “le.nef and “le.wav,” Aperture
imports the .wav le attached to the .nef raw image le. Audio les are automatically attached
during all types of import: from a connected camera or card reader, from internal and external
hard disk drives, as well as by dragging. If the audio lename is not the same as the image
lename, it will not be attached to the photo even if imported directly from a camera or a card
reader. However, there is one exception: some Canon cameras, including the G9 and G10, prex
the audio lename with “SND and the image lename with “IMG”; these audio les are imported
as attachments.
Import RAW + JPEG image pairs
Many digital cameras have a setting for creating a RAW le plus a JPEG le for each photo as you
shoot. Many photographers use the RAW + JPEG workow for the convenience of publishing
the JPEG images quickly while saving the RAW les for high-resolution prints. Aperture provides
several options for importing the RAW + JPEG image pairs.
Note: The RAW + JPEG Pairs import setting remains in eect from one import session to the next.
Filter RAW + JPEG pairs during import
1 In the Import browser, choose RAW + JPEG Pairs from the Import Settings pop-up menu.
