Place photos in a book
After you’ve created a book album with photos and chosen a theme, it’s time to place photos on
the book’s pages. There are three ways to place photos in your book:
•
Drag photos from the Browser to a photo box on the page.
•
Have Aperture idenfitfy unused photos in the Browser and automatically place them in
the book.
•
Select a group of photos in the Browser and have Aperture automatically place them in
the book.
Add photos to the book manually
m Drag a photo from the Browser to a photo box on the page.
Have Aperture “autoflow” unplaced photos
Using the Autoflow feature, you can have Aperture automatically place your photos in a book. It’s
a good idea to set up the page structure of your document first by creating the number of pages
needed and assigning master page layouts. Then arrange your photos in the Browser in the order
in which they should appear in the book and let Aperture place the photos into the structure
you created.
You can place all of the unplaced photos in your book at once, or you can select specific photos
and have Aperture distribute them into any empty pages. For example, you might select several
photos and have Aperture place them into the first several pages of your book, and then select
several more photos and have Aperture place them on the following pages.
If you prefer, you can have Aperture create as many pages as necessary to hold all of your photos
and place them on the pages. Aperture creates new pages using master page designs from the
selected theme and fills those pages with your photos. You can then change the master page
assignments if you wish.
m To have Aperture “autoflow” unplaced photos: Choose Autoflow Unplaced Images from the Book
Action pop-up menu
in the Book Layout Editor.
Aperture distributes the unplaced photos beginning with the first empty photo box. If there are
more unplaced photos than your current page structure can hold, Aperture creates new pages
as necessary.
m To have Aperture “autoflow” selected photos: In the Browser, select the photos you want to place in
the book, and then choose Autoflow Selected Images from the Book Action pop-up menu
in
the Book Layout Editor.
Aperture distritbutes the selected photos beginning with the first empty photo box. If you
selected more photos than your current page structure can hold, Aperture creates new pages
as necessary.
