Chapter 2 Import photos 42
2 Do any of the following:
•
To exclude image files, leaving only audio and video files available for import: Select the “Exclude
photos” checkbox.
•
To exclude video files during import: Select the “Exclude videos” checkbox.
•
To exclude audio files during import: Select the “Exclude audio files” checkbox.
•
To exclude all audio files attached to the photos: Select the “Exclude audio attachments” checkbox.
•
To include only files that were flagged or locked using the camera: Select the “Only include files
flagged/locked in camera” checkbox.
All photos matching the selected criteria appear in the Import browser. To make all the photos
reappear, deselect the checkboxes above.
Important: An audio file is imported into Aperture as an attachment when the audio file’s name
matches the image file’s name. For example, when you import “file.nef” and “file.wav,” Aperture
imports the .wav file attached to the .nef raw image file. Audio files are automatically attached
during all types of import: from a connected camera or card reader, from internal and external
hard disk drives, as well as by dragging. If the audio filename is not the same as the image
filename, it will not be attached to the photo even if imported directly from a camera or a card
reader. However, there is one exception: some Canon cameras, including the G9 and G10, prefix
the audio filename with “SND” and the image filename with “IMG”; these audio files are imported
as attachments.
Import RAW + JPEG image pairs
Many digital cameras have a setting for creating a RAW file plus a JPEG file for each photo as you
shoot. Many photographers use the RAW + JPEG workflow for the convenience of publishing
the JPEG images quickly while saving the RAW files for high-resolution prints. Aperture provides
several options for importing the RAW + JPEG image pairs.
Note: The RAW + JPEG Pairs import setting remains in effect from one import session to the next.
Filter RAW + JPEG pairs during import
1 In the Import browser, choose RAW + JPEG Pairs from the Import Settings pop-up menu.
The RAW + JPEG Pairs control appears in the Import browser.

•
To import both the RAW and the JPEG image files and set the JPEG file in each pair as the original:
Choose “Both (JPEG as Original).”
•
To import both the RAW and the JPEG image files and set the RAW file in each pair as the original:
Choose “Both (RAW as Original).”
•
