View photos on multiple displays
Using the additional screen space of a second display provides an excellent platform for viewing
and performing image adjustments, playing slideshows, and presenting your full-color, full-size
photos to clients. When your system uses two displays, Aperture provides two Viewers in which
you can view multiple photos. These Viewers are called the Main Viewer and the Secondary
Viewer. The Main Viewer is used for displaying the Aperture application, and the Secondary
Viewer for viewing photos. You can choose whether Aperture displays the same photos in the
Main Viewer and Secondary Viewer, displays only the currently selected photo in the Secondary
Viewer, or splits the display of photos between the Main Viewer and the Secondary Viewer.
Set how photos are displayed in the Secondary Viewer
m
To display the same photos in the Main Viewer and the Secondary Viewer: Choose View > Secondary
Viewer > Mirror (or press Option-M).
m
To display the currently selected photo in the Secondary Viewer: Choose View > Secondary Viewer >
Alternate (or press Option-A).
When you choose this option, the Secondary Viewer shows only one photo, even when you have
the Main Viewer set to display multiple photos.
m
To display a selection of photos across both the Main Viewer and the Secondary Viewer: Choose View
> Secondary Viewer > Span (or press Option-S).
