you may want to change their stacking order. For example, you might want to place three photos

Change the look of photos with lters
Aperture allows you to change the look of photos in books by applying lters. For example,
you might apply a lter that fades a photo so that you can position text over it to create an
interesting cover. You can also apply lters that change a photo to black and white or sepia.
Apply a lter to a photo box
1 Select the photo box that contains the photo you want to change.
2 Choose the lter style you want from the Set Photo Filter pop-up menu.
Note: When you apply a lter to a photo in a book and then examine the photo with the Loupe,
the photo appears without the lter eect. The lter is applied only to the photo in the book, not
to the photo version. The Loupe displays the photo version.
