Operation Manual

Placing Images Automatically
Using the Autoflow feature, you can have Aperture automatically place your images in a
book. It’s a good idea to set up the page structure of your document first by creating the
number of pages needed and assigning master page layouts. Then arrange your images
in the Browser in the order in which they should appear in the book and let Aperture
place the images into the structure you created.
You can place all of the unplaced images in your book at once, or you can select specific
images and have Aperture distribute them into any empty pages. For example, you might
select several images and have Aperture place them into the first several pages of your
book, and then select several more images and have Aperture place them on the following
pages.
If you prefer, you can have Aperture create as many pages as necessary to hold all of your
images and place them on the pages. Aperture creates new pages using master page
designs from the selected theme and fills those pages with your images. You can then
change the master page assignments if you wish.
Automatically Placing Unplaced Images
When you create a structure of pages to hold your images, Aperture can distribute
unplaced images into the pages of the book. If more pages are required to hold your
images, Aperture creates additional pages. If you’ve already placed some images on pages
in the book, Aperture distributes images beginning with the first empty photo box.
To have Aperture “autoflow” unplaced images
µ
Choose Autoflow Unplaced Images from the Book Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon)
in the Book Layout Editor.
Automatically Placing Selected Images
You can select images in the Browser and Aperture can distribute them into the current
page structure of the book, starting with the first empty photo box. For example, you
can select two images in the Browser and have Aperture place them into the first two
empty photo boxes of your book. You can thus place images into a document’s page
structure little by little as you go. If you select more images than your current page
structure can hold, Aperture creates new pages as necessary.
To have Aperture “autoflow” selected images
1 In the Browser, select the images you want to place in the book.
2 Choose Autoflow Selected Images from the Book Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon)
in the Book Layout Editor.
