 Compare image: An image selected to be compared against other images in the
Viewer. To select a compare image, select an image and press Return. Press
Command-Return to turn off the comparison feature.
 Metadata inspector: A pane in the Inspector pane that lists the metadata and
metadata options for a selected image. To display the Metadata inspector, choose
Window > Show Inspector and click the Metadata tab.
 Metadata view: Aperture organizes the display of specific combinations of metadata
in sets called metadata views. By choosing a specific metadata view, you specify what
combination of metadata appears with your images. For example, one metadata view
may display IPTC field information, and another view may display version name,
rating, and caption information. Aperture provides dozens of metadata views to
choose from, and you can also create your own.
 Metadata preset: A customized metadata view that also records specific metadata
information. For example, a metadata preset might include a specific combination of
IPTC fields and the actual IPTC data you want to appear with your images. You can
use metadata presets to apply combinations of metadata to images.
 Badges: Small icon identifiers that appear on images to indicate that an image has
been changed or that it has a certain status. For example, if an image has had an
adjustment made to it, the adjustment badge appears. Badges appear only when
you’ve set Aperture to use a metadata view that displays badges.
Next, you’ll explore working with your images in Full Screen view.
