Create and apply effects
If you frequently use the same adjustment parameter settings, you can save the settings as an
effect. For example, you can create an effect that converts a color image to black and white. You
can create effects for individual adjustments or for a set of multiple adjustments.
When you create an effect, it appears in the Effects pop-up menu in the Adjustments inspector
and the Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD. New effects appear at the bottom of the Effects
pop-up menu. As this list grows, it can become difficult to locate a specific effect in a long list of
effects. You can rearrange the order of the effects to make them easier to find.
You can also organize effects of like type by grouping them into effect groups, and you can
export effects to use them on another Aperture system.
Important:
In previous versions of Aperture, effects (formerly known as adjustment presets) for
single adjustments were accessible via the Preset Action pop-up menu for each adjustment.
Presets were created and stored in the preset dialog for that adjustment. If you created and
saved adjustment presets in a previous version of Aperture, the adjustment presets now appear
as effects in the Effects pop-up menu at the top of the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments
pane of the Inspector HUD. If you want to remove adjustment presets created in previous
versions of Aperture, see “Modify effects,” below.
