6 By default, IPTC metadata is not exported with the masters. To export the masters with
IPTC metadata, do one of the following:
 To write IPTC metadata into the master: Choose “Include IPTC” from the Metadata
pop-up menu.
 To create an XMP sidecar file that contains the image’s IPTC metadata: Choose “Create
IPTC4XMP sidecar file” from the Metadata pop-up menu.
7 If you would like to be notified when the export process is complete, select the “Show
alert when finished” checkbox.
8 When you’re ready to export your files, click Export Masters.
Copies of the masters for the selected images are exported to the location you
specified. If you selected the “Show alert when finished” checkbox, a dialog appears
displaying the number of masters exported and the file path. If you want Aperture to
open the Finder to the location you exported your masters to, click the Reveal in Finder
button. Otherwise, click OK to close the dialog.
Exporting Masters into Folders in the Finder
When you export masters, you can have Aperture place the files individually into a
selected folder or create subfolders to hold the files. For example, you might have the
exported files placed in subfolders identified by date. You can create folder name
formats that you can quickly choose to select the folder structure you want.
To create a folder name format, you select the name elements you want in the Folder
Naming Presets dialog. You can compose subfolder name formats that combine the
following name elements:
 Version Name
 Master Filename
 Sequence Number (1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, and so on)
 Image Year
 Image Month
 Image Day
 Image Date
 Image Time
 Index Number (1, 2, 3, and so on)
 Custom Name
 Counter (001, 002, 003, and so on)
