Adjust time zone data at import
On a trip, it’s easy to forget to update your camera’s clock to match the local time zone. If you
didn’t synchronize your camera time to the new location, Aperture lets you correct the time
assigned to the image file by whole hours when importing.
Adjust time zone data during import
1
In the Import browser, choose Time Zone from the Import Settings pop-up menu.
The Time Zone controls appear in the Import browser.
2
Choose the time zone that matches the camera’s time setting from the Camera Time
pop-up menu.
3
Choose the time zone of the shoot location from the Actual Time pop-up menu.
Aperture updates the capture time of your image files according to the Time Zone settings.
After you’ve imported photos, you can adjust the date and time of any versions you’ve created
by choosing Metadata > Adjust Date and Time. For more information, see
on page 216.
Add metadata at import
You can add metadata to your photos as they are imported into Aperture. Adding metadata
during the import process helps you keep track of your photos and quickly locate them using
the Smart Settings HUD and Filter HUD. For example, you can add IPTC keywords and other
metadata to the photos.
