Add locations to photos

You don’t need a GPS-enabled camera or iOS device to use Places. Adding location information
in Places view is as simple as dragging photos from the Browser to the area on the Places view
map where they were shot. Another option is to enter a specific location in the search field in
Places view, select a location from the Results list that appears below the search field, and then
click the Assign Location button. You can also designate a large geographical area, such as a city
or national park, as a location and assign this general location to photos.

Assign locations to photos in the Browser manually

1

Select an item in the Library inspector containing photos to which you want to assign

location information.

2

Click the Places button in the toolbar.

The Aperture main window switches to Places view. Red pins mark the locations where photos
that already have location information were shot.

3

Position the map in Places view to display the location you want to assign to the photos by

dragging and zooming in to the map.

4

In the Browser, select a photo or group of photos, then drag the photo selection to the

appropriate location on the map in Places view.
A pin with a location label appears, marking the location where the photo or photo group was
shot. The location label indicates the name of the location and the number of photos that were
captured there.
