Arranging the Interface
Aperture provides many ways to view your images. You can arrange the Aperture main
window in the Browser, Split View, and Viewer layouts. The areas in the Aperture interface
are resizable, and you can customize these layouts to suit your workflow. You can also
view images by the people in them using Faces view, and by the locations where they
were captured using Places view. In addition, you can view your images in Full Screen
view, which displays images against a solid background with only a few interface
elements.
To see the main window layout shown above, click the Split View button in the toolbar.
For more information about changing the main window layout, see Changing Main
Window Layouts.
