Operation Manual

Making Adjustments to Images in a Web Gallery or Web Journal
You can’t select and use the Lift, Stamp, Straighten, Crop, or Red Eye tool or any Quick
Brush adjustments when using the Webpage Editor. To use these tools to make a change
to an image in a web gallery or web journal, select the image in the Browser, then click
the Show Viewer button at the top of the Browser (to the right of the List View button).
The selected image appears in the Viewer, and you can make your changes. Click the
Show Viewer button again to return to the Webpage Editor.
Web Galleries
Aperture web galleries are designed to display images without your having to lay out
pages by hand. Aperture automatically creates the appropriate number of webpages and
populates them with the selected images. You can then adjust the pages to make the
images appear as you want them. You can also choose the metadata information, such
as captions, names, and ratings, that appears next to each image.
Web Journals
Web journals allow you to mix images and text manually on the page. Web journals are
ideal for projects in which you show photos with narrative to support them. When working
with web journals, you manually add pages, images, and text to your web journal. You
can choose a theme to apply to all your pages, and you can change the layout of images
and text on your web journal pages.
To create a web gallery or web journal, you create a webpage or web journal album.
When you select the album in the Library inspector, the Webpage Editor appears. The
Webpage Editor is where you design your webpages, including changing the theme,
positioning images, and adding text.
After you’ve laid out your web gallery or web journal pages in the Webpage Editor, you
can export them to your MobileMe account or save them as HTML pages that you can
post to your webpage server. Once the images are posted online, you can give clients
the Internet address of the pages, and clients can view them remotely.
Creating Web Galleries and Web Journals
Aperture web galleries offer a way to showcase your images on the web. You have a
number of options for designing these pages. You can choose the type of information
to accompany each image, such as name and rating. You can also specify the number of
columns and rows you want on each page.
Web journals provide a great way to mix images and text to chronicle trips and explain
images on the web. You can manually add and arrange images and text in your web
journal.
