Operation Manual

If you import only the JPEG files and then later decide you want to download the RAW
files as well, you can have Aperture identify and import the RAW files that match the JPEG
files in your Aperture library.
To import the RAW files that match the JPEG files in your Aperture library
1 Choose “Matching RAW files” from the Import pop-up menu.
The Include pop-up menu appears below the Import pop-up menu.
2 Do one of the following:
• To import all matching RAW files regardless of rating: Choose “All matching files” from
the Include pop-up menu.
• To import all RAW files matching JPEG files that are unrated or better: Choose “Unrated
or better” from the Include pop-up menu.
• To import all RAW files that match the current rating: Choose “Current filter” from the
Include pop-up menu.
Using AppleScript Actions Immediately After Import
The Aperture community provides many AppleScript actions online to automate tasks in
Aperture you tend to repeat on a regular basis. If you’re technologically savvy, you can
create your own AppleScript actions to help automate your workflow. You can use
AppleScript actions from within Aperture immediately after an import operation is
complete.
For more information about AppleScript actions for use with Aperture, see
http://www.apple.com/aperture/resources.
Important: All scripts must use the import event handler: on
importActionForVersions(input).
To use AppleScript actions immediately after import
1 Choose Actions from the Import Settings pop-up menu.
The Actions controls appear in the Import browser.
2 If no AppleScript action is selected, click the Choose button and locate a script from the
dialog that appears.
The selected AppleScript action appears in the AppleScript field and is set to begin as
soon as the import operation is complete.
