Creating a Book
One of Aperture's unique features is the ability to lay out and order a completely custom book of
your photos. Creating a book comes down to three main steps: picking the type of book you want
to make, laying out the pages in your book, and ordering your book. This section covers how to do
each of these tasks and describes in depth how to lay out a page to customize your book.
