Library Inspector
The Library inspector holds containers—projects, folders, and albums—you can use to
organize your images. When you select a project, folder, or album in the Library inspector,
the images are displayed in the Browser and Viewer. You can create Smart Albums that
automatically find and store images based on search criteria you specify. You can also
create webpages (photo galleries and online journals), Light Table arrangements,
slideshows, and books, and you can share images with MobileMe, Flickr, and Facebook.
The Library inspector also provides a number of ways to view items in the library. You
can use the Library inspector to access Projects view, Photos view, Faces view, Places
view, and Flagged view. You can also view items moved to the Aperture Trash. To learn
more about using the Library inspector, see Working with the Aperture Library.
The Import pane and the Vault pane are also displayed in the Library inspector. For more
information, see Import Pane and Vault Pane.
