Chapter 12 Locating and Organizing Photos with Places 217
Adding Locations to Photos
You don’t need a GPS-enabled camera or iOS device to use Places. Adding location information in
Places view is as simple as dragging photos from the Browser to the area on the Places view map
where they were shot. Another option is to enter a specic location in the search eld in Places
view, select a location from the Google Results list that appears below the search eld, and then
click the Assign Location button. You can also designate a large geographical area, such as a city
or national park, as a location and assign this general location to photos.
To manually assign locations to photos in the Browser
1 Select an item in the Library inspector containing photos to which you want to assign
location information.
2 Click the Places button in the toolbar.
The Aperture main window switches to Places view. Red pins mark the locations where photos
that already have location information were shot.
3 Position the map in Places view to display the location you want to assign to the photos by
dragging and zooming in to the map.
4 In the Browser, select a photo or group of photos, then drag the photo selection to the
appropriate location on the map in Places view.
A purple pin with a location label appears, marking the location where the photo or photo group
was shot. The location label indicates the name of the location and the number of photos that
were captured there.
A dialog also appears at the bottom of Places view, informing you that you can move the pin to
change the location assigned to all photos associated with the pin.
