Rotating Images
When images are imported into a project, some may appear in an incorrect orientation,
requiring you to rotate them right side up. The control bar provides rotate buttons for
rotating selected images, and the toolbar contains rotate tools. You can rotate images
individually or select a group and rotate them all at once. You can also conveniently
select images and quickly rotate them using keyboard shortcuts.
To rotate images counterclockwise, do one of the following:
m Select an image or group of images, then choose Images > Rotate Counterclockwise, or
press the left bracket ([) key.
m Select an image or group of images, then click the Rotate Left button in the control bar.
m Select the Rotate Left tool in the toolbar, then click an image.
To rotate images clockwise, do one of the following:
m Select an image or group of images, then choose Images > Rotate Clockwise, or press
the right bracket (]) key.
m Select an image or group of images, then click the Rotate Right button in the control bar.
m Select the Rotate Right tool in the toolbar, then click an image.
Displaying Specific Metadata with Your Images
You can quickly display specific types of information, or embedded metadata, with
your images. For example, you can have Aperture show the EXIF (Exchangeable Image
File) or IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) data associated with
your images.
 EXIF metadata: Includes camera settings such as shutter speed, ISO setting, date and
time, focal length, exposure, metering pattern, and flash information.
 IPTC metadata: Information that can be embedded in a digital image with most
software programs used to edit photos. Includes a caption, the place and date a
photo was taken, and copyright information.
