Operation Manual

The first time you create a MobileMe, Flickr, or Facebook album, Aperture prompts you
to enter your account information. If you don’t have an account with any of the websites,
you can create one. Aperture stores your account information for each website in the
Mac OS X secure keychain. You can also post images to multiple MobileMe, Flickr, and
Facebook accounts from within Aperture. With your account settings in place, Aperture
immediately creates a MobileMe, Flickr, or Facebook album and then publishes the album
to the corresponding account’s website.
Once you have an existing MobileMe, Flickr, or Facebook album in place, you can continue
to publish to it by dragging images into the MobileMe, Flickr, or Facebook album in the
Library inspector. When you select a MobileMe, Flickr, or Facebook album in the Library
inspector, Aperture automatically uploads the unpublished images. Any images posted
to your MobileMe, Flickr, and Facebook accounts from other software applications, your
web browser, or a mobile device automatically appear in their respective albums in the
Library inspector.
In addition, you can have Aperture check to see if any new albums appear in your
MobileMe and Flickr accounts or if any new sets appear in your Flickr accounts. If Aperture
detects the presence of a new album in your MobileMe or Facebook accounts, it downloads
the album’s configuration. The new MobileMe or Facebook album appears in the Library
inspector. If Aperture detects a new set in your Flickr account, the new set appears as a
Flickr album in the Library inspector. To view the contents of a new album, select the
new album in the Library inspector.
