Operation Manual

You can also show keyword controls in the control bar at the bottom of the Aperture
main window by choosing Window > Show Keyword Controls.
Using these simple controls, you can display different categories of keywords and easily
apply those keywords with a quick click or keystroke.
Your Aperture keyword scheme can ensure comprehensive accessibility to your images
and even help with the management of your copyrights, usage rights, and sales. For more
information about assigning keywords, see Applying Keywords to Images.
Organizing Photos of People with Faces
As your library of images grows, it’s difficult to keep track of who’s in each image. Instead
of meticulously adding keywords to each image to identify the people in it, you can use
Faces, the face detection and face recognition technology included in Aperture, to identify
and track people throughout all the images in your library. All you have to do to get
started is select an image with a person in it, click the Name button in the toolbar, and
assign the face a name; Aperture then automatically locates other suggested images of
that person in your library.
