Integration with iLife and iWork
You can use previews to distribute your Aperture pictures in movies, on the web, on
DVDs, in slideshows, and in podcasts. You can also download your Aperture pictures to
your iPod, import them into iPhoto, or use them to create Pages documents. The media
browsers in the iLife and iWork applications now support browsing Aperture Libraries.
For each version in the Library, Aperture provides two JPEG files to iLife and iWork: a
240-pixel (longest dimension) JPEG thumbnail that is shown in the media browser, and
the JPEG preview image (at whatever size you specified for it). If a version has no
preview, the image is not made available to the media browser.
Note: When images are within stacks, only stack picks and album picks are shared. If
you want iLife to have access to an image in a stack and it’s not the pick, you need to
extract it from the stack or make it the pick.
Integration with Mac OX X Desktop & Screen Saver System Preferences
Like iPhoto Libraries, Aperture Libraries can be used for your screen saver and desktop
picture, through the same mechanism the media browser uses.
Displaying Offline Referenced Images
When a master file is offline or cannot be found, Aperture draws the thumbnail image
first, and then the preview if it is present. Because the preview is high quality, you can
zoom and even use the Loupe.
Controlling Preview Images
You can control the creation and maintenance of preview images for an entire Library,
as well as on a project-by-project or image-by-image basis.
