Chapter 3 Work with projects and the library 61
Add the contents of the library from the second computer without overwriting the contents
of the library on the first computer
If you don’t want to overwrite the original projects and albums you exported from the first
computer with the projects and albums you modified on the second computer, you can add the
modified projects and albums to the library on the first computer as unique items.
1 Transfer the modified library from the second computer to the first computer.
2 On the first computer, choose File > Import > Library/Project, locate the modified library file from
the second computer, and click Import.
A dialog appears, asking you to choose which library to use to resolve potential conflicts caused
by the differences between the libraries.
3 Click Add.
Aperture imports the contents of the modified library from the second computer into the library
of the first computer. Instead of overwriting the files that changed, Aperture adds the changed
files as additional items. If imported items have the same names as existing items in the Library
inspector, the names of the imported items are appended with “(1).”

project, displaying all of its photos in the Browser. In Projects view, you can conveniently view,
organize, and sort your projects.
