Creating Books

Changing the Theme

You choose a theme when you create your book album, but you can change the theme
at any time. When you choose a theme, the Book Layout Editor provides a
professionally designed set of master pages that determine how you mix text and
images on the page. For example, you can choose among master pages that create a
cover page, text pages, and pages with different combinations of images and text. You’ll
find master pages provide a fast and convenient method for quickly laying out a book.

To choose a new theme for your book:

1

In the Book Layout Editor, click the Theme button.

A dialog appears alerting you that you may lose text when you change themes.

2

Click OK.

3

In the Theme dialog, select the theme you want.

4

Click Choose Theme.

After you change the theme, Aperture updates all your pages to use the new theme.

Ordering a Printed Book

When you’ve completed the layout of your book, you can order a printed copy.

Important:

Before you get your book printed, it’s best to print a copy and proof it to

make sure it’s what you want.

To order a printed book:

m

In the Book Layout Editor, click the Buy Book button, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Warning:

It’s possible to lose text when you change themes. If you change book

themes, make sure to first copy the text you’ve entered into another document so
that you have a backup copy.
