How Do I Use Faces and Places to Categorize My Images? - Aperture 3 - page 138

To import the GPS track files and assign images to waypoints, do the following:
1. Select the project that needs the GPS file and then click Places in the toolbar to
open the Places interface.
2. Click the GPS button and then select Import GPS Track. A dialog appears showing
your GPS tracks.
3. Click the Choose Track File to navigate to the GPS track. When the track is imported
into the project, it appears as a purple line on the map when you're in Places view.
4. In the Browser, select the image or images that you want to assign to a location.
5. Control+click the waypoint that you want to use as a location for the images, then
choose Assign Photos from the shortcut menu that appears as an overlay on the
waypoint. The waypoint's location information is assigned to the images.
To have Aperture automatically assign locations based on time information in the GPS track, do
the following:
1. Select a project containing a GPS track.
2. Select an image in the Browser and drag it onto a waypoint in Places. A dialog
appears at the bottom of Places asking if you want to assign location information to
other images in your project based on time.
3. Click Assign Locations to have Aperture automatically match the time stamps from
the GPS files with the time stamps on the camera so that your images are automati-
cally assigned to their correct locations on the map.
Assigning location information using Projects view
If you shot all the images in a project at the same location, the fastest way to assign location infor-
mation to them is to use the Projects view. To assign a single location to all the images in a project,
do the following:
1. Choose Projects in the Library Inspector to change to the Projects view.
2. Click the info button on the lower right of the project thumbnail, as shown in
Figure 5.23. The Info HUD appears.
3. In the Info HUD, click Assign Location. The Assign Location interface appears, as shown
in Figure 5.24. Choose a location from the list of custom places you've created under My
Places, or type a location in the text field and then choose the closest match from the list
that Google generates. To give the location a custom name, fill in the Place Name text field.
4. Click Assign. Each image in the project is assigned to that location.
