Copying a Book Album
After you’ve set up a book structure that you like, you can reuse it for other book publication
projects. For example, you might create a wedding album book structure that you
reuse frequently.
You can select and duplicate a book album. You can then remove the photos from the album
and replace them with others to ll the new book. Aperture can automatically ow the new
photos into the duplicated book structure.
