20 Creating Books
With Aperture, you can easily create books of your images that
you can print using a printing service provided by Apple.
This chapter provides information about creating a book, including designing the
pages, arranging images, and then getting a professional print copy made.
An Overview of the Book Creation Process
Aperture provides options for creating a print book to suit a variety of needs. When
you select a book album in the Projects panel or create a new book album, the Book
Layout Editor appears in place of the Viewer. The Book Layout Editor is where you
design your book.
Books are based on master page layouts and themes, or designs, that present your
images in a standardized way. The theme you choose for your pages determines the
basic template design of the page. You can easily add images to your book at any time.
You can also move and resize images, as well as add text, such as narrative or captions,
to the pages of your book.
