Operation Manual

You can also customize the information that appears with your images. For example, you
can set your images to appear with the filename as well as the IPTC data and EXIF data.
You can change what information appears in the Browser in grid view, list view, and
filmstrip view by customizing the Metadata options in the Preferences window. For more
information, see Displaying Specific Metadata with Your Images.
If you make a mistake while editing, in most cases you can choose the Undo command
to immediately cancel your last action. In fact, you can choose the Undo command
multiple times to undo your last series of actions. Aperture places deleted masters in the
Aperture Trash. If you discover a deletion you did not intend to make, and the Undo
command cannot recover the deletion, you can still recover the master from the Aperture
Trash until the Trash is emptied.
Navigating Through and Selecting Images
Selecting images is a fundamental task in Aperture. Knowing the many ways you can
select images can help increase your productivity and satisfaction while working with
your images.
Navigating Through Images in the Browser
You can select one or several of the images in the Browser to work with them or to view
them in the Viewer. Aperture identifies the images you’ve selected by displaying them
with a white border. When you select a group of images, the actively selected image,
called the primary selection, appears with a thick white border and the rest of the selected
images appear with thin white borders.
All selected images
display a white border.
A thick white border
surrounds the primary
