Changing the Look of Images with Filters
Aperture allows you to change the look of images in books by applying filters. For example,
you might apply a filter that fades an image so that you can position text over it to create
an interesting cover. You can also apply filters that change an image to black and white
or sepia.
Set Photo Filter
pop-up menu
To apply a filter to a photo box
1 Select the photo box that contains the image you want to change.
2 Choose the filter style you want from the Set Photo Filter pop-up menu.
Note: When you apply a filter to an image in a book and then examine the image with
the Loupe, the image appears without the filter effect. The filter is applied only to the
image in the book, not to the image version. The Loupe displays the image version.
Adding Map Boxes to a Book Page
If you’ve added location information to your images using Places, you can add a map to
a book page showing the locations where the surrounding images were shot. In addition,
you can define a route between locations to illustrate the journey between destinations.
Note: The Map box feature is available only in certain book themes. For more information
about book themes, see Choosing a Theme.
To add a map box to a page
1 In the Book Layout Editor, click the Edit Layout button, if it’s not already selected.
2 Select a page in the Pages pane.
3 Choose Add Map Box from the Add Box pop-up menu.
Add Box pop-up menu
When the map box appears on the selected page in the Book Layout Editor, you can drag
it to a new position and resize it. Locations assigned to images in photo boxes surrounding
the map box are automatically plotted on the map.
