Previews preferences
Use the controls in the Previews preference pane to set how Aperture creates and displays
preview images.
The Previews preference pane contains the following controls:
•
“New projects automatically generate previews” checkbox: To set Aperture to create previews for
the photos in all new projects and new libraries, select this checkbox. Deselect this checkbox if
you don’t want previews created for photos in new projects.
•
“Share XML with other applications” pop-up menu: Choose whether to share JPEG preview
images via XML as needed for other applications.
Note: Some applications share preview images using the media browser, which does not
require XML to access the Aperture library.
•
Photo Preview pop-up menu: To set a maximum pixel size for your previews, choose a size from
this pop-up menu.
•
“Photo Preview quality” slider: To change the image quality of the previews, drag the slider. The
higher the quality setting, the more disk space the previews require.
