Work with projects and the library

Aperture prompts you to name new projects, albums, and Light Table albums before adding
them to the Library inspector. Aperture immediately adds new folders, Smart Albums, and Smart
Web Page Albums to the Library inspector with the item’s “Untitled” name highlighted so that
you can rename them as you create them. When you create a new book, slideshow, web journal,
or webpage, Aperture prompts you to choose a theme in addition to a name before adding the
item to the Library inspector.

For more information about creating projects and certain types of albums, see the

Open and close items in the Library inspector

To work with photos in Aperture, you first select an item in the Library inspector to open it in
the Browser. You can open and work on more than one item at a time. When you open multiple
items from the Library inspector, you can have each item appear in the Browser with its own tab
or have the contents of all items appear in a single Browser. You can click an item’s Browser tab
to bring it to the front. You can also open an item in its own pane to view the contents of two
items in the Browser side by side. When you quit and reopen Aperture, all items that were open
at the end of your last session open automatically.
