Working with Pages
Creating a Cover for Your Book
When you create a new book album, Aperture automatically creates a front cover page for the
book. You can select the page and add a title, cover photo or design, and other text or photos
that you like.
You can also choose between a softcover or hardcover design. Softcover designs have a white
background; if you select a hardcover design and purchase printed copies of the book from the
Apple print vendor, you can choose from a selection of hardcover colors. Note that you can only
add photos and text to the front cover of your book; you can’t specify photos or text on the spine
or back cover when purchasing books from the Apple print vendor.
