Chapter 3 Importing Photos 55
5 Do one of the following:
Uncheck All button
Check All button
•
To import all photos from the camera or card reader: Click the Check All button.
The checkboxes for all the photos in the Import browser are selected.
•
To import a subset of photos from the camera or card reader: Click the Uncheck All button to
clear the checkboxes for all photos, then select the checkboxes for the photos you want
to import.
You can also Shift-click adjacent photos and Command-click nonadjacent photos, and then
select the checkbox for one of the photos. Selecting a single checkbox selects the checkboxes
for all of the selected photos.
Note: You can double-click a thumbnail image to see a larger version of the photo, if you want
to verify its contents before importing it.
6 Click the Import Checked button.
The import process begins and an indicator appears next to the project’s name, showing the
progress of the import. When the photos are imported, a dialog appears.
7 Click Eject Card, Erase Imported Items and Eject Card, or Done.
Note: The options oered in this dialog depend on the way your camera is made available when
it is connected. Some cameras connect as mass storage devices. When you import from these
cameras, the Erase and Eject options appear. Other cameras simply connect as cameras, and you
will not see either Erase or Eject after the import is completed. In that case, you can erase the
photos directly in the camera.
As the photos appear in the Browser, you can begin working with them. Photos may temporarily
appear as gray boxes until the loading process is complete.
Importing Files Stored on Your Computer or Connected Servers
You can import image, audio, and video les stored on your computer and other storage devices.
You have a choice of storing the imported les in the Aperture library, or importing the les as
referenced image, audio, and video les and then moving or copying them to a dierent location.
