If you don’t plan to purchase printed books from the Apple print vendor, you may want
to employ a graphic designer to create the front and back cover for you, or design the
cover yourself using a graphics application.
Choosing a Master Page Layout
You select a design for your page by applying a master page layout. Aperture provides
different master page layouts depending on the theme you chose. You can choose a
page design from the Set Master Page pop-up menu. For example, you might create a
single-image page, and later decide to change that page to hold two images.
You can apply different master page designs to a page to find the design that works
best for your images and book.
To apply a master page design to a page:
1 Select the page in the Pages pane.
2 Choose the master page you want from the Set Master Page pop-up menu.
If you changed a page’s design by repositioning or resizing boxes, and you want to
start over with the original design, you can reapply the original master page design.
To reapply a master page design to a page:
1 Select the page you want to change in the Pages pane.
2 Choose Reapply Master from the Book Action pop-up menu.
Copying Pages
If you’ve made changes to a page and you’d like to use that page again in your book,
you can duplicate it. Or, you might duplicate a page and then make small modifications
to it, keeping both the new page design and the original for later use.
To copy pages:
1 Select the page or pages you want to duplicate.
You can Shift-click pages in the Pages pane to select multiple pages.
2 Choose Duplicate Page from the Add Pages pop-up menu.
