Viewing Stacks
To efficiently work with images in stacks, you can set the Viewer to automatically open
a selected stack and set up the stacked images for comparison. The pick of the stack is
set as the compare item. This stack viewing feature also works in Full Screen mode.
To set the Viewer to automatically open and compare the images in stacks,
do one of the following:
m Choose View > Main Viewer > Stack (or press Option-T).
m Choose Stack from the Viewer Mode pop-up menu in the control bar.
For more information about using stacks, see Chapter 8, “ Stacking Images
and Making Picks ,” on page 175.
Viewing Images with the Loupe
You can use the Loupe to examine parts of an image. You position the small ring of the
Loupe over the portion of the image you want to see, and the large ring shows a
magnified view. It’s useful for making quick checks for dust specks, flaws, fingerprints, or
other issues. You can use the Loupe on any image or thumbnail in the Aperture Library.
For information about the latest enhancements to the Loupe, see New Features in the
Aperture Help menu.
The Loupe shows a
magnified view of
whatever is beneath it.
