294 Part III Distribution and Backup
Exporting Master Files into Folders in the Finder
When you export master files, you can have Aperture place the files individually into a
selected folder, or create subfolders to hold the files. For example, you might have the
exported files placed in subfolders identified by date. You can create folder formats that
you can quickly choose to select the folder structure you want.
To create a folder name format, you select the name elements you want in the Folder
Naming Presets dialog. You can compose subfolder formats that combine the following
name elements:
 Version Name
 Master Filename
 Sequence Number (1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3)
 Image Year
 Image Month
 Image Day
 Image Date
 Image Time
 Index Number (1, 2, 3)
 Custom Name
 Counter (001, 002, 003)
 Current Date
 Current Time
 Current Year
 Current Month
 Current Day
 Folder Name
 Project Name
You can specify a combination of name elements to create the custom folder names
you want.
You can also create a hierarchy of folders within folders. For example, you can specify
that Aperture place your images in a subfolder named Date, and within that folder you
can create subfolders identified by the time the image was taken. To create the folder
name format, you drag the elements you want into the Format field and drag the
forward slash element between the elements where a subfolder should be created.
