About the Aperture Sample Library
The Aperture installation disc includes a sample library with several projects containing
high-resolution images. You can import the sample library into your existing Aperture
library from the Aperture installation disc at any time after installing the application.
Creating Projects and Importing Your Photos
To use Aperture, you first import your photos. You can import digital photos directly from
your camera or a card reader and from hard disks or other storage devices where you’ve
archived digital files. After a shoot, you can connect your digital camera or card reader
to your computer and Aperture automatically detects it. You can then easily import your
new images into Aperture.
Aperture automatically imports any audio attachments associated with your image files,
provided they have the same filename. In addition to importing photos into Aperture,
you can also import QuickTime-compatible audio and video files.
