Choosing a Master Page Layout
You select a design for your page by applying a master page layout. Aperture provides
different master page layouts depending on the theme you choose. You choose a page
design from the Set Master Page pop-up menu. For example, you might create a
single-image page and then later decide to change that page to hold two images.
You can apply different master page designs to a page to find the design that works best
for your project.

1 Select the page in the Pages pane of the Book Layout Editor.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose a master page from the Set Master Page pop-up menu.
• Click the disclosure triangle on the page.
If you change a page’s design by repositioning or resizing boxes and you want to start
over with the original design, you can reapply the original master page design.

Copying Pages

duplicate.
