Operation Manual

You can use the Filter HUD to hide or show images of a certain rating. For example, after
an initial ratings pass, you can set the Filter HUD to show only those images that are rated
one star. You can then closely inspect and further refine your selection or begin an
adjustments pass. Aperture is preset to hide images that are rated Reject, so you may
need to change the Filter HUD settings to see rejected images.
Set the slider to a rating.
Make sure this checkbox
is selected, then choose
an option from the
pop-up menu.
Aperture also comes with a set of Library Smart Albums that are preset to gather images
throughout your library that are rated Select, one star or better, and Reject.
Aperture comes with
Library-level Smart Albums
preset to gather images
rated Select, images rated
one star or better, and
Rejected images only.
Tip: It’s a good idea to review the images gathered in the Rejected Library Album on a
periodic basis before deleting their versions and masters. From time to time you might
find an image you rejected by mistake.
For more information about working with Smart Albums, see Grouping Images with Smart
Albums.
