Operation Manual

When you apply an adjustment preset during import, Aperture applies the adjustment
preset uniformly to every image it imports until it is turned off. You can edit the adjustment
preset that you want to frequently apply to your images by choosing Edit Presets from
the Preset pop-up menu. For more information, see Working with Adjustment Presets.

In the Adjustment Presets controls, choose None from the Preset pop-up menu.
Filtering Files by Type During Import
Some digital cameras allow you to attach audio attachments to your images. For example,
some cameras allow you to record audio annotations for an image after you shoot it. The
camera attaches the audio file to the image file so that you can review the audio when
you download the image. When you connect a digital camera or card reader or point to
a folder with images on your computer, Aperture recognizes any image that has an audio
attachment. You can also import standalone QuickTime-compatible audio and video files.
