Exporting by Dragging
You can export image, audio, and video versions by dragging them from the Browser or
Library inspector to the desktop or any location in the Finder. You can also do the same
with projects, albums, and folders in the Library inspector. However, MobileMe, Flickr,
and Facebook albums cannot be exported by dragging.
Note: An image version without a JPEG preview cannot be exported via the drag-and-drop
method. If the version doesn’t have a preview, dragging and dropping is disabled for that
version (except within Aperture). If you are dragging multiple images, but only some of
them have previews, only the versions with previews are dragged out. The quality of the
JPEG image is determined by the Previews settings in Aperture preferences. For more
information, see Working with Preview Images.
To export versions from Aperture by dragging
1 In the Browser, select the image, audio, and video versions you want to export.
2 Drag the versions to the desktop or any location in the Finder.
