Importing Image Files Stored on Your Computer

You can import image files stored on your computer and other storage devices. You
have a choice of storing imported images in the Aperture library, importing images as
referenced images and leaving them in their current locations, or importing images as
referenced images and moving or copying them to a different location.

Note: If you have folders of images to import, you can import them using the Import
Folders as Projects command. For more information, see “

Importing Folders of Images

from the Finder

” on page 138.

You can import image files in many common image formats, including images scanned
from nondigital sources such as film and photographic prints. Adding these image files
to your Aperture database is as simple as navigating to the folder where they reside on
your hard disk using the Import dialog.

When you import images from a folder on your computer system, you have the choice
of importing the images into a new project or an existing one.

To import image files stored on your computer’s hard disk or other storage device:

1

Click the Import button in the toolbar (or press Command-I).

The Import dialog appears with the file browser at the top.

2

Select the disk that holds the image files you want to import.

Select the disk where

the images you want to

import are located.
