Operation Manual

You choose the metadata you want to display with your images in Aperture in the Browser

the Browser in grid view and filmstrip view, and the Browser in list view. You can also
display metadata with labels that help identify the types of metadata being displayed.
Choose the metadata
to display with images
in the Browser & Viewer

When you position the pointer over an image, Aperture can display information about it
in a text box called a metadata tooltip. You can turn the display of metadata tooltips on
or off using the Metadata Overlays pop-up menu in the tool strip. You can choose a
metadata view to specify the combination of metadata that appears in metadata tooltips
using the Browser & Viewer Metadata dialog.

About Displaying Metadata in Full Screen View
Choosing a metadata view for the Viewer also defines the metadata that appears with
images in Full Screen view. Choosing a metadata view for the Browser in grid view
defines the metadata that appears with thumbnail images in the Full Screen view
filmstrip.
