Viewing Images on Multiple Displays
Using the additional screen space of a second display affords an excellent platform
for viewing and adjusting images, playing slideshows, and presenting your full-color,
full-size images to clients. For more information about setting up two displays, see

Setting Up Your System with Two Displays
When your system uses two displays, Aperture provides two Viewers in which you can
view multiple images. These Viewers are called the Main Viewer and Secondary Viewer.
The Main Viewer is used for displaying the Aperture application, and the Secondary
Viewer for viewing images.
You can set the Secondary Viewer to display images in different ways by choosing an
option from the Viewer Mode pop-up menu in the tool strip.
 Desktop: Turns off the dual-display function.
 Blank: Sets the Secondary Viewer to be a blank screen.
 Mirror: Displays the same images in the Main and Secondary Viewers. For example, if
you have the Main Viewer set to display three images, the Secondary Viewer displays
three images as well.
 Alternate: Displays the currently selected image in the Secondary Viewer. The
Secondary Viewer shows only one image even when you have the Main Viewer set to
display multiple images.
 Span: Splits the display of the currently selected images between the Main and
Secondary Viewers. For example, if you select seven images to view, the Main Viewer
shows as many as fit its screen size, and the remaining images appear in the
Secondary Viewer. Thus, one Viewer might show four images, and the other Viewer
might show the remaining three of the seven. Span is also used if you want to
compare images and show one image per display.
To display the currently selected image in the Secondary Viewer,
do one of the following:
m
Choose View > Secondary Viewer > Alternate (or press Option-A).
m
Choose Alternate from the Viewer Mode pop-up menu in the tool strip.
Choose Alternate from
the Viewer Mode pop-up
menu to display the
selected image in the
Secondary Viewer.
