Operation Manual

If the image is shared online, the Metadata inspector displays either the account it was
downloaded from or the specific account and album or set it was published to, along
with when it was published. The Metadata inspector also indicates if the image has not
been shared.
If you’ve created Facebook albums in Aperture and shared images from your Aperture
library with your Facebook account, you can also use the Metadata inspector to view
comments posted about the images by your friends.
To view comments about your images posted by your friends online
1 In the Browser, select an image shared with Facebook.
2 In the Metadata inspector or the Metadata pane of the Inspector HUD, choose Sharing
from the Metadata View pop-up menu.
Comments posted about the selected image by your friends on Facebook appear in the
Metadata inspector.
Aperture makes it easy to reply to comments that appear in the Library inspector or add
your own by opening the appropriate page in your web browser.
To open the Facebook page the commented image is posted on
µ
In the Metadata inspector or the Metadata pane of the Inspector HUD, click the comment
you want to reply to.
Your Internet browser opens to the Facebook page the image is posted on. You can post
your reply directly in your Facebook account.
Working with the AutoFill Editor
As you enter metadata in the Metadata inspector’s fields, Aperture checks for previous
entries, and if it locates a match, it completes the entry for you. For example, if you used
the keyword Landscape previously, and you type the first few letters of Landscape again,
Aperture automatically enters Landscape in the field. You can set up and change the list
of metadata that Aperture automatically enters using the AutoFill Editor. You can enter
up to 20 entries for a field type. If you’ve made a spelling mistake when typing an entry,
you can also use the AutoFill Editor to correct the mistake so that Aperture suggests the
correct spelling.
