Displaying your images clearly and accurately is a pivotal function of Aperture. With
Aperture you can take advantage of the latest display technology and view and work
with your images in Full Screen view and on dual displays.

Using Aperture with two displays is ideal for creating a large workspace. You can easily
compare and adjust images, play slideshows, and present the best of your photos at
optimal size during client reviews.

Working with Heads-Up Displays

To work efficiently in Aperture, you can use floating windows of controls called heads-
up displays
(HUDs) to change images. For example, when you view images in Aperture
in Full Screen view, you can open an Inspector HUD to adjust your images.

As you work on your images, you can position HUDs anywhere on the screen and use
them to make changes. For example, Aperture provides a Keywords HUD that you can
use to quickly assign keywords to your images. To assign a keyword, you simply drag it
from the Keywords HUD to the image.
