Working with Images 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.

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.

To enlarge the thumbnail icons in list view:

m

Drag the Thumbnail Resize slider to increase or decrease the size of the icons.

You can also easily rename files after importing. When you rename a file, you are
renaming the image version, not the digital master file. The filename of the original
master file does not change.

To rename an image version in list view:

m

Select an image, double-click the image name, then enter a new name.
