Additional Parts of the Aperture Interface

As you work in Aperture, you will use other panels, such as the Import and Vaults
panels, as well as specialized panels called inspectors and HUDs. There is also a Full
Screen mode that provides a full-screen view of your images and a Light Table feature
that allows you to arrange images.

Import Panel

The Import panel displays a list of connected card readers and external hard disk
drives, as well as local hard disks and mounted servers. If you want to import images
into Aperture, you select one of these devices, and the Import dialog appears. You
specify settings in that dialog to import images from that device to your Library or a
selected project.
