To enlarge the thumbnail icons in list view:
m Drag the Thumbnail Resize slider to increase or decrease the size of the icons.
You can also easily rename files after importing. When you rename a file, you are
renaming the image version, not the digital master file. The filename of the original
master file does not change.
To rename an image version in list view:
m Select an image, double-click the image name, then enter a new name.
Searching for Images in the Browser
When you have many images in a project, more than the Browser can display at once,
you can use the search field to locate images. Enter the search criteria in the search
field and Aperture finds the image or images for you.
You can search for images in a project and show just the search results in the Browser.
For example, if you have several hundred images of a wedding, but want to view only
those that have the keyword Bride, you can use the Query HUD to display only the
images of the bride, hiding the remainder from view.
For more information about using the Query HUD to find images, see Chapter 12,
“
Searching for and Displaying Images ,” on page 247.
To search for an image in the Browser:
m Enter text associated with that image in the Browser’s search field.
To see all your images again:
m Click the search field’s Reset button or delete the text in the search field.
Important: You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly implement a search that displays
images with specific ratings or images that have a specific keyword. It’s possible while
working with images to accidentally press such a keyboard shortcut and see the
number of images on your screen unexpectedly change or even disappear. If this
happens, you can quickly display your images by clicking the Reset button (with an X)
in the search field to reset the search criteria in the Query HUD.
