Importing Files from Your Body of Work
You can easily import your collection of archived digital images into Aperture from any
hard disk or storage device connected to your computer. When importing legacy
images from your portfolio, you can move them into the main Aperture library, or you
can simply identify where the images are located, and Aperture adds them to its
management system without changing the image locations. This means that with
Aperture, you can still work with your images in their current organization and on
multiple hard disks without relocating or reorganizing your files. You can also move or
copy images to new locations when needed.
Aperture can also import your iPhoto library and files stored in a variety of common file
types and formats, including:
 GIF
 DNG
 JPEG
 JPEG2000
 PNG
 PSD
 RAW files from a variety of supported digital cameras
 TIFF
