Chapter 2 Importing Basics 23
Getting Ready
Rather than importing images from a camera or card reader, for now you’ll just import
some sample images from a folder on your hard disk. If you have five or six images of
your own that you feel comfortable experimenting with, place them in a folder on
your desktop.
If you’d prefer to experiment with images from the Aperture sample projects, export
five or six images to a folder on your desktop.
To export sample images to a folder on your desktop:
1 Select the Nature project in the Projects inspector.
2 Select five or six images in the Browser.
3 Choose File > Export > Masters. Press Command-D to select the desktop as the
destination for your exported images.
4 Click the New Folder button, type Samples as a folder name, and click Create.
5 Click the Export Masters button.
Aperture exports the selected images to the folder on your desktop. Now you can
import these images again, trying out Aperture filenaming and other import options.
