Export projects, folders, and albums in a new library
You can select and export any combination of projects, folders, and albums in the Library
inspector. Aperture consolidates the selected items into an Aperture library and places it in the
location of your choosing. After exporting the item selection as an Aperture library, you can
either open the new library and work within it, or you can merge the library into the library of
another Aperture system.
For more information about opening Aperture libraries, see
on page 58. For
more information about merging Aperture libraries, see
on page 59.
