To add photos to the book manually
m Drag a photo from the Browser to a photo box on the page.
Placing Photos Automatically
Using the Autoow feature, you can have Aperture automatically place your photos in a book. It’s
a good idea to set up the page structure of your document rst by creating the number of pages
needed and assigning master page layouts. Then arrange your photos in the Browser in the order
in which they should appear in the book and let Aperture place the photos into the structure
you created.
You can place all of the unplaced photos in your book at once, or you can select specic photos
and have Aperture distribute them into any empty pages. For example, you might select several
photos and have Aperture place them into the rst several pages of your book, and then select
several more photos and have Aperture place them on the following pages.
If you prefer, you can have Aperture create as many pages as necessary to hold all of your photos
and place them on the pages. Aperture creates new pages using master page designs from the
selected theme and lls those pages with your photos. You can then change the master page
assignments if you wish.
To have Aperture “autoow” unplaced photos
When you create a structure of pages to hold your photos, Aperture can distribute unplaced
photos into the pages of the book. If more pages are required to hold your photos, Aperture
creates additional pages. If you’ve already placed some photos on pages in the book, Aperture
distributes photos beginning with the rst empty photo box.
m Choose Autoow Unplaced Images from the Book Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon) in the
Book Layout Editor.
To have Aperture “autoow” selected photos
You can select photos in the Browser and have Aperture distribute them into the current page
structure of the book, starting with the rst empty photo box. For example, you can select two
photos in the Browser and have Aperture place them into the rst two empty photo boxes of
your book. You can thus place photos into a document’s page structure little by little as you go. If
you select more photos than your current page structure can hold, Aperture creates new pages
as necessary.
1 In the Browser, select the photos you want to place in the book.
2 Choose Autoow Selected Images from the Book Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon) in the
Book Layout Editor.
