Stacking Photo Boxes in a Specific Order
As you arrange boxes on the page, perhaps overlapping them to create a certain look,
you may want to change their stacking order. For example, you might want to place
three images on top of one another in a specific order. To change the stacking order of
boxes, you select a box and then click the Bring Forward or Send Backward button.
To change the order of a stack of boxes:
1 Click the Edit Layout button, if it’s not already selected.
2 Select the box whose stacking order you want to change.
3 Do one of the following:
 Click the Bring Forward or Send Backward button.
 Choose Arrange from the Book Action pop-up menu, then choose an option from
the submenu.
Removing Photo Boxes
After creating a page and applying a master page design, you may want to remove one
or more photo boxes from the page. You can choose a different master page design
that has fewer photo boxes, or you can remove photo boxes from the page.
To remove photo boxes from a page:
m Click the Edit Layout button, select a photo box or boxes, then choose Edit > Cut (or
press Delete).
Changing the Look of Images with Filters
Aperture allows you to change the look of images by applying filters. For example, you
might apply a filter that fades an image so that you can position text over it to create
an interesting cover. You can also apply filters that change an image to black and
white or sepia.
