Working with Metadata Presets
Creating Metadata Presets
You can create your own preset combinations of metadata that you can save and then apply to
your photos as needed. You create a preset by selecting a version that has metadata applied to
it and saving the metadata as a preset. You can also select a version with no metadata applied
to it, add the metadata you want to apply to the version, and then save the information as a
metadata preset. Your metadata preset is then available to be chosen when you import photos,
batch change photos, or modify a photo’s metadata in the Info inspector or the Info pane of the
Inspector HUD. Aperture also provides easy methods of managing your presets.
To create a new metadata preset
1 In the Info inspector or the Info pane of the Inspector HUD, enter the metadata you want applied
to your photos in the metadata elds.
You can add metadata to multiple metadata views by choosing dierent views from the
Metadata View pop-up menu.
2 Choose New Preset from Version from the Metadata Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon).
