Rating Images
Rating images is a quick and easy way to narrow down the
number of images you intend to work with. It can also help
you locate your best images later.
This chapter provides information about rating images and using ratings to sort and
compare images.
An Overview of the Rating System
Aperture provides an easy-to-use rating system that allows you to quickly assign image
ratings and use them to sort and review images. Rating is a simple process with
powerful results. If you can easily identify 100 out of 500 images that aren’t going to
work, removing these images reduces your workload by 20 percent. This can save you a
considerable amount of time working on a project.
Aperture provides a system for rating images from Select to Reject. The easily
decipherable image ratings appear on the images themselves as overlays. Positive
ratings appear as stars; you can rate images from one to five stars, with five being the
highest, or Select, rating. A negative, or Reject, rating appears as an X.
Stars indicate a
positive rating.
Five stars indicate the
highest rating (Select).
An X indicates a negative
rating (Reject).
