Viewing Images on Multiple Displays
Using the additional screen space of a second display affords an excellent platform for
viewing and adjusting images, playing slideshows, and presenting your full-color, full-
size images to clients. For more information on setting up two displays, see
Connecting a Second Display to Your Computer on page 23.
When your system uses two displays, Aperture provides two Viewers in which you can
view multiple images. These Viewers are called the primary Viewer and secondary
Viewer. The primary Viewer is used for displaying the Aperture application and the
secondary Viewer for viewing images.
You can set the secondary Viewer to display images in different ways by choosing an
option from the Viewer Mode pop-up menu in the control bar.
 Desktop: Turns off the dual-display function.
 Blank: Sets the secondary Viewer to be a blank screen.
 Mirror: Displays the same images in the primary and secondary Viewers. For example,
if you have the primary Viewer set to display three images, the secondary Viewer
displays three images as well.
 Alternate: Displays the currently selected image in the secondary Viewer. The
secondary Viewer shows only one image even when you have the primary Viewer set
to display multiple images.
 Span: Splits the display of the currently selected images between the primary and
secondary Viewers. For example, if you select seven images to view, the primary
Viewer shows as many as fit its screen size, and the remaining images appear in the
secondary Viewer. Thus, one Viewer might show three images and the other Viewer
might show the remaining four of the seven. Span is also used if you want to
compare images and show one image per display.
