Operation Manual

You use the Browser & Viewer Metadata dialog to specify the metadata fields to display
in the basic and expanded metadata overlay views for both the Viewer and Browser, as
well as the metadata that appears in metadata tooltips. You can choose to display a wide
variety of EXIF and IPTC metadata fields. In addition, you can add Aperture-specific
metadata fields, such as rating and version name, as well as photo usage information,
such as whether an image has been emailed or ordered via Apple’s print service. You can
also specify whether to display the image’s metadata over the lower portion of the image
or below it, and you can choose to display metadata with labels to make it easier to
identify the types of metadata being displayed.
Choose the metadata to
display with images in
the Browser & Viewer
Metadata dialog.
Some metadata overlay views are specifically designed for displaying information in the
Viewer, in the Browser in grid view or list view, or in metadata tooltips. The following
table lists the metadata overlay views that you can choose and the information that each
view displays.
