Adjust images from within Aperture editors

it using the adjustment controls in the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments pane of the
Inspector HUD. You can also adjust images in the Book Layout Editor, Webpage Editor, Slideshow
Editor, and Light Table.
Note: Some of the adjustment controls are not available for use in the Aperture editors, but you
can easily switch to the Viewer to make your changes.

Use an external editor
If you need to perform more advanced image operations, such as compositing, you can set an
external editor for use within Aperture. First you have to specify which application Aperture
should use and the file format (TIFF or PSD). You only have to do this once. Then you select a
photo and choose a menu command to have the photo open in the application designated as
the external editor. You can also set an external editor for audio and video files.
