Changing the Look of Photos with Filters
Aperture allows you to change the look of photos in books by applying lters. For example,
you might apply a lter that fades a photo so that you can position text over it to create an
interesting cover. You can also apply lters that change a photo to black and white or sepia.
To apply a lter to a photo box
1 Select the photo box that contains the photo you want to change.
2 Choose the lter style you want from the Set Photo Filter pop-up menu.
Note: When you apply a lter to a photo in a book and then examine the photo with the Loupe,
the photo appears without the lter eect. The lter is applied only to the photo in the book, not
to the photo version. The Loupe displays the photo version.
Adding Map Boxes to a Book Page
If you’ve added location information to your photos using Places, you can add a map to a book
page showing the locations where the surrounding photos were shot. In addition, you can dene
a route between locations to illustrate the journey between destinations.
Note: The Map box feature is available only in certain book themes. For more information about
book themes, see Choosing a Theme on page 510 .
To add a map box to a page
1 In the Book Layout Editor, click the Edit Layout button, if it’s not already selected.
2 Select a page in the Pages pane.
3 Choose Add Map Box from the Add Box pop-up menu.
When the map box appears on the selected page in the Book Layout Editor, you can drag it to
a new position and resize it. Locations assigned to photos in photo boxes surrounding the map
box are automatically plotted on the map.
To give the map a title
You can give the map a title that appears over the bottom-left portion of the map.
