Using The Control Interface in Aperture

Video Transcript

"BRANDON SARKIS: My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be showing you how to use Apple's Aperture program for the Mac. The next thing I'm going to show you are some of the controls for moving around in Aperture. So we're going to stay in the same wedding folder and stay on the same picture, you're going to go here to the bottom and you'll see there's a couple of different control sets you've got.Tthis one's for your viewer mode, this will show you if you use your primary to compare your stack views. Your primary is going to show your primary view if you have multiple monitors, multi is going to show you multiple monitor view. Three up is going to show three pictures at a time or up to three pictures at a time. Your comparison is going to show a comparison. And your stack view is going to show the whole stack. Right now you can see you've got the current pick in two or three. I'm going to go back to primary view. It's back into the--or actually it's a zoom viewer. And you'll notice over here, you'll see rocks with a little red square inside of it. The red square represents [INDISCERNABLE] though we'll move this back. There you go. And you can undo that by hitting this button. Next to that you'll see a show master image shortcut which on this one, since this photo is unedited, I unedited it back from where we edited it. You'll see that the master image looks exactly the same however if I work from over here and say crank the shadows up and crank the color saturation up and then I was to hit this button, you would see a definite difference. I want you to undo both of those real quick. Alright. Now we're back to the start, hold on--now we're back to the start. The next fun button you're going to see right here, this is to full screen, you could also hit the F key you're going to do this faster, there you go and hit F to go back or escape to go back. The next button you're going to see is the primary only mode, you can toggle that off or on. When primary only is--you can't really tell now 'cause I only have one image open but basically if you have multiple images open, it'll show you which one you've selected so. Here are rotate keys, rotate left, rotate right. Here are some more rating shortcut keys. This is to reject, this one's to decrease rating. Let's see, we'll decrease it down one or increase it up two, make that a zero. This next, the check, this is to select the photo then you'll see the right and left keys which are for previous and next image. You can also slide selections and extend selections. I just accidentally closed that. "
