How to Move to a New Project in Aperture
In the hierarchy of Aperture, projects are a step higher than folders. A project can contain multiple folders, and is a way to give a group of photos or folders a name and a heading so that they are easier to find and differentiate. You might create a new project when organizing photos for a photo book, or when you are arranging photos for a gallery presentation, for example. Whatever your reasons, creating a new project in Aperture is a simple process, and you can choose to create a blank project or create one from the selected photos.

Tips & Warnings
Photos can appear in multiple projects at once. Dragging a photo from one project to another does not move the original file or delete it from the first project.
