Working with Library Files
When the library file becomes large and requires more disk space than is available in its
current location, you can move it to a hard disk with more storage capacity. Aperture is
preset to create the library file in the Pictures folder on your internal hard disk. You can
specify that the library file be located in a different folder or on a different disk. Each
time you open Aperture, the application opens the library in the location you specified.
To change the location of the library, you move the library file to a new location and
then use the Aperture Preferences window to specify the new location.

Adding Times and Dates to Aperture Album Names
It is common to differentiate albums in a project by adding the dates to the album
names. If you add dates to an album name, avoid using special characters like the
slash (/), since that may be interpreted by Mac OS X as a file separator.
