Rebuild a book with all of the photos in the Browser

unmodified design, Aperture can rebuild your book. Aperture rebuilds the book structure using
the default series of master page designs and adds your photos to the revised pages. You lose
any changes that you previously made to your pages. Aperture can place all the photos in the
Browser into the book, or only selected photos.
Do one of the following:
m To rebuild a book with all of the photos in the Browser: Choose Rebuild Book With All Images from
the Book Action pop-up menu
in the Book Layout Editor.
m To rebuild a book with a selection of photos: Select the photos in the Browser that you want to
place in the book, then choose Rebuild Book With Selected Images from the Book Action pop-up
menu
in the Book Layout Editor.
