Adjust images at export

You can apply final adjustments to images at export by choosing ColorSync profiles, setting
gamma adjustments, and applying black point compensation. Because these adjustments are
applied at export, the photo versions and originals in the Aperture library are not changed. Only
exported files receive image adjustments applied with an export preset.

To adjust images at export, you create a new export preset in the Image Export dialog and then
modify the Image Quality, Gamma Adjust, ColorSync Profile, and Black Point Compensation
settings as appropriate.

Use these options to

adjust photos when

they are exported.

Gamma adjustments applied at export are applied on top of gamma adjustments previously

applied to photo versions. Before exporting, verify that you are not doubling any gamma

adjustments previously applied to your photos.

When you export, select the preset that includes the adjustments you want to make.
