Setting Up an Aperture System

Setting up the hardware for your system can be as simple
as connecting your camera or card reader to your computer.
You can also set up a system that uses external hard disks
and color-calibrated displays.

This appendix provides instructions for setting up your computer system to use
Aperture. It provides instructions for setting up a basic system, explains optional
equipment that you might consider to enhance your system, and explains how to
set up additional displays. For information about software and hardware
requirements for using Aperture, see the Before You Install Aperture document on
the Aperture installation disc. For information about installing software, see the
Installing Your Software booklet.
