Library category
The Library category contains icons that, when selected, display your photos organized in any of
four dierent ways:
•
Projects: Select the Projects icon to have all the projects in the library appear in Projects view
in place of the Browser and Viewer. Each project is represented by a single thumbnail. You
can position the pointer over a project thumbnail and drag to quickly skim the photos in
the project. When you hold down the Control key and click a project’s thumbnail, a shortcut
menu appears that allows you to create a new project, display information about the project,
delete the project, import les into the project, export the project as a library, set the currently
displayed image as the key photo that represents the project, empty the Aperture Trash, or
play each photo in the project in a slideshow. Double-click the project’s thumbnail to see the
photos in the Browser.
For more information, see View projects on page 61.
•
Photos: Select this item to see all photos, video clips, and audio clips in the library. All media in
the library is displayed in the Browser as thumbnails. Select a thumbnail in the Browser to view
it or listen to it in the Viewer.
•
Faces: Select this item to view people identied in photos and tracked by Aperture in the
library. Click the Info button on a snapshot to show the Info HUD. The Info HUD provides
the name of the person, how many photos in the library contain the person, when the photos
were shot, and the person’s full name and email address (if you entered them). Click the View
Photos button in the HUD to view all the photos the person appears in and any photos the
