Creating Projects
As you work with Aperture, you create projects to hold your images. A project is similar
to a folder that can hold dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of images. For example,
after completing a soccer sports shoot, you might create a new project named World
Cup Soccer and import the photos into it.
Your new project appears in a list in the Projects inspector.
As your portfolio increases and you create more and more projects, you can organize
your work into hierarchies of folders, projects, and albums.
You can create as many projects as you need and name them according to any naming
scheme you prefer. It’s important to name projects so that they will be easy to identify
and access. When you need to further subdivide and organize images in a project, you
can create albums.
Over the long term you may be using Aperture to track years of projects, so you’ll want
to develop a naming system that is easy to use and understand. For more information
about organizing your images in projects and albums, see Chapter 3, “
Working with
Aperture Projects ,” on page 93.
