Working with Images in List View
Instead of thumbnails, list view displays images by name and icon with accompanying
information such as rating, image dimensions, file size, and date.
To switch to list view, do one of the following:
m Choose View > List (or press Control-L).
m Click the List View button in the Browser.
To choose what type of information is displayed in list view:
1 Choose View > View Options (or press Command-J).
The View Options window appears.
2 In the List View Columns section, choose a display option from the Set 1 pop-up menu.
Columns in the Browser immediately change to display the information you selected.
3 Click Done.
One of the main advantages of list view is that you can quickly sort images based on a
category of information. When you click a column heading in list view, Aperture
reorders the images, sorting them by that category. For example, you might sort your
images by date.
To sort images in list view by a category:
m Click the category column heading in the Browser.
When you work in list view, it may sometimes be difficult to determine the content of
an image based on the file information. You can enlarge the thumbnail icons that
appear in list view to give you a better look at the images.
