Photo Editing with Aperture
Aperture allows you to easily view and work with your images onscreen. It provides
easy-to-use tools and controls, as well as efficient methods for rating images, searching
for images, and comparing and adjusting images.
Viewing and Working with Images
To work with your images, you select a project in the Projects inspector and Aperture
displays that project’s images in the Browser. You use the Browser to review, organize,
and select images. You can display the Browser only or display the Browser and a
Viewer that shows images in detail.
When you select a thumbnail image in the Browser, the image appears in the Viewer.
The Browser can show your images as thumbnails arranged as a row in a filmstrip or as
a grid of thumbnails appearing in rows and columns. You can click an individual image
to select it, and a white border appears around the image. To quickly move to and
select other images, press the arrow keys. You can drag images to rearrange them in
the Browser, or drag them into different projects or albums. You can also display your
images as a list of files.
The Viewer displays the
