the first time. For example, if you typed
Pacific ocean, surf, stormy sky
for the first image and start
typing
Pac
for the second image, Aperture by default suggests auto-completing the keywords
with
Pacific ocean, surf, stormy sky
. This is useful when keywording very similar images because it
can help save you typing. But it can also be frustrating if there's a typo in the suggested keywords,
because Aperture continues to suggest that you auto-complete your typing with the typo.
Fortunately, Aperture provides a way to edit the AutoFill values.
1.
Choose Metadata
Edit AutoFill List.
Aperture displays the AutoFill Editor dialog, as
shown in Figure 4.14, containing all the values you've ever typed for each metadata field.

4.14
The AutoFill Editor dialog allows you to edit the autofill values that
Aperture uses when you enter metadata.
2.
To adjust the keywords AutoFill values, scroll down until you see the IPTC
Keywords group, and open the group.
Each table row represents a set of keywords
that Aperture tries to auto-complete as you type.
3.
To edit a row, double-click on it and type any adjustments.
4.
To remove a row, select it (or multiple rows), and click the Remove button.
5.
Repeat this process as needed, adjusting values for other fields such as IPTC
Caption as well.
This dialog also lets you add new AutoFill values for some fields,
though not IPTC Caption or Keywords. To do so, select the field name, click the Add but-
ton, and type a new value.
6.
Click Save when finished.
