Operation Manual

Exporting Images into Folders in the Finder
When you export versions and masters, you can have Aperture place the files individually
into a selected folder or create subfolders to hold the files. For example, you might have
the exported files placed in subfolders identified by date. You can create folder name
formats that you can quickly choose to select the folder structure you want.
To create a folder name preset, you select the name elements you want in the Folder
Naming dialog. You can compose subfolder name formats that combine the following
name elements:
• Version Name
• Master Filename
• Sequence Number (1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, and so on)
• Image Year
• Image Month
• Image Day
• Image Date
• Image Time
• Index Number (1, 2, 3, and so on)
• Custom Name
• Counter (001, 002, 003, and so on)
• Folder Name
• Current Date
• Current Time
• Current Year
• Current Month
• Current Day
• Project Name
• / (slash)
You can specify a combination of name elements to create custom folder names.
You can also create a hierarchy of folders within folders. For example, you can specify
that Aperture place your images in a subfolder named Date, and within that folder you
can create subfolders identified by the time the image was taken. To create the folder
name format, you drag the elements you want into the Format field and drag the slash
element between the elements where a subfolder should be created.
