50 Chapter 4 Working with Projects
Creating and Naming Projects
You can create projects at any time, although typically you create them when you
import images. When you import images and no project is selected, a new project is
created to contain those images. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Importing
Images,” on page 55. However, you can create a new empty project at any time.
To create a new project:
1 Choose File > New Project (or press Command-N).
2 Enter the name you want for the project, then press Return.
Opening and Closing Projects
To start working in Aperture, you must have a project open. You can also open and
work on more than one project at a time, each represented by its own tab in the
Browser. When you finish working and quit Aperture, Aperture remembers which
projects were open. The next time you open Aperture, all projects that were open at
the end of your last session open automatically.
A new, untitled
project appears in the
Projects panel.
The project now has the
name you entered.
