Constructing Impossible Smart Albums
 | The smart album logic provided by Aperture is limited to ALL or ANY, and so appears to only support very simple logic for combining conditions. However there is a second level of conditions that can be combined with a smart filter to provide much more complex, apparently impossible filtering. |
Layering Captions
 | I caption all the images I keep. The captioning tools in Aperture allow me to do this quickly and efficiently, layering several captions as the images require |
Haunted Keywords
 | Keywords in Aperture 1.5 appear to be haunted. Odd things happen. Zombie keywords come back from the dead. Spooky behavior makes keywords look like they are harder to deal with than in 1.1. But actually 1.5 is a big improvement, and once you understand how they work, you will be able to manage them much more easily than in 1.1. |
Filtering By High-Level Keywords
 | By creating and managing a keyword keeper image it is possible to filter by any keyword at any level in your keyword hierarchy. |
Keyword Import and Export
 | By exporting keywords and using and external editor you can speed up the process of getting keywords organized the way you want |
Keyword Hierarchy
 | Keywords in Aperture are actually stored in a hierarchy, but only partly implemented that way. The result is a lot of confusion. |
Keyword Health
 | Now that Aperture manages keywords centrally you need a plan to keep it all under control. Here are six ways to help that process. |
Metadata Sets
 | The display of metadata on overlays, web pages, thumbnails, and other aspects of Aperture can be modified to suit exactly what you want to see and where. |
Negative Filtering
 | How do I make a filter that excludes keywords? It can be done, but not the way shown in the fake image to the left. And you can achieve the same goal by using other metadata. |
iView to Aperture
 | How I moved by library of images from iView MediaPro to Aperture and handled the metadata/keyword problem |
