Organizing Items Within the Library Inspector
Typically, you create a new Aperture project for each photography project or job that
you work on, regardless of its duration. For example, if you’re working on a documentary
in Thailand, you would create a project for it. If you’re also shooting the temples in the
interior of the country, that could be a second, separate project. Both projects could
conceivably refer to some of the same images, but they are completely independent
structures, each with its own versions and albums.
