When using a counter in your folder name format, you can specify the starting number
and the number of digits, from one to six, that appear in the counter. When you use a
folder name format with a counter, make sure to reset the initial starting number, if
necessary. Otherwise, on the next import, Aperture will continue numbering the image
folders starting from the last number of the previous import.

Where Aperture Stores Your Managed Files in the Library
You always view and work with your images within the Aperture application. However,
you may wonder where your managed image files physically reside in the Aperture library
on the computer’s hard disk. By default, your images are stored in the Aperture Library
file within the Pictures folder. For more information about managed image files, see What
Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
