Changing Views

In addition to allowing you to show and hide areas of the interface, Aperture offers four
basic views of the main window:

 Browser Only: Use this view to display images in an enlarged Browser so you can

review images, perform initial rating passes, and create and work with stacks of images.

 Browser & Viewer: Use this view to display both the Browser and Viewer together and

use them in combination to review and work with images.

 Viewer Only: Use this view to display images in an enlarged Viewer and work with

them in detail.

 Full Screen: Use this view to work with images displayed full screen against a

black background.

You can easily switch between views by pressing V, choosing commands from the View
menu, or pressing keyboard shortcuts.
