Using More Than One Album in a Project
For some projects, it makes sense to use several albums within the project. You can use
albums in several ways, including:
 Albums as events: Break a project into a series of albums according to specific events.
For example, a wedding project can be divided into albums for each of the following
events: Preparation, Ceremony, and Reception.
 Albums as days: Break a project that spans multiple days into albums for individual
days. For example, a project consisting of a two-week trip to Japan can be divided
into 14 individual albums corresponding to each day.
 Albums for specific subjects: Break a project consisting of multiple photographed
subjects into individual albums dedicated to each subject. For example, a studio
photographer may shoot three models for a single project. The photographer can
create an album for each model. Or you might create albums to hold specific image
types, such as candid shots, landscapes, or close-ups.
Creating and Naming Projects
There are several controls in the Projects panel that you’ll use when working with projects.
 Disclosure triangle: Click this to see all items within the Library, project, or folder.
 Projects pop-up menu: Choose to display all projects, favorites, or recent projects.
 Add to Library pop-up menu: Choose to add a new item, such as a project or Smart
Album, to the Library or selected project.
 Project Action pop-up menu: Add the selected item to a list of favorites, or remove it
from the favorites list.
You can create projects at any time, although typically you create them when you
import images. When you import images into the Aperture Library and no project is
selected, a new project is created to contain those images. However, you can create a
new empty project at any time. For more information about importing files and
creating projects automatically, see Chapter 4, “
