To export a project from Aperture:
1
Select the project you want to export in the Projects panel.
2
Do one of the following:
 Choose File > Export Project (or press Command-Shift-E).
 Choose Export Project from the Project Action pop-up menu in the Projects panel.
3
Type a name for the exported project in the Save As field.
4
Choose a location to save the project from the Where pop-up menu.
5
Click Save.
After exporting your project, you can transfer it to your main Aperture system in a
variety of ways. One way is to transfer the project to an external hard disk. You can then
connect the hard disk to your main computer and import the project into the Aperture
Library. You might also transfer images over your office network.
You can also use a FireWire cable to connect two computers and transfer your project.
You connect both computers via their FireWire ports, and then restart one of the
computers in FireWire Target Disk Mode. When a computer is restarted in FireWire
Target Disk Mode, the computer’s hard disk icon appears on the desktop of the other
computer. You can then copy the project from one computer to another.
For more information about using FireWire Target Disk Mode, see Mac Help in the
Mac OS X Help menu.
To import a project into the Aperture Library:
1
Connect the computer or hard disk drive from which you want to import the project.
If you’re connecting a computer directly to your Aperture system computer via a FireWire
cable, restart the computer that holds the project while holding down the T key. The
computer starts up in FireWire Target Disk Mode and a FireWire icon appears onscreen.
The computer’s hard disk icon then appears on the other computer’s desktop.
2
Choose File > Import > Projects.
3
Select the project you want to import, then click Open.
The new project appears in the Projects panel.
