Adding and removing pages
To add a new page, select the previous page in the Pages pane, click the Add Pages button, and
choose Add New Page. Aperture creates a blank page with what it determines to be the appropri-
ate master layout. Choosing Duplicate Page makes a duplicate of the previous page's layout and
images, with the layout adjusted to reflect whether the new page is on the left or right side of the
book. Note that the default Apple books are limited to 99 pages.
To remove a page, select the page and click the Delete Pages button. Books require an even num-
ber of pages and at least 20 pages. If needed, Aperture inserts a blank page later in your book to
accommodate these restrictions.
Customizing page layout
While there are plenty of preset page masters to choose from, sometimes you will still want to
adjust the page layout. To begin, click the Edit Layout button at the top of the Book Editor.
The easiest place to begin customizing a page layout is to drag the different boxes around on the
page to rearrange them. As you do so, Aperture displays Smart Guides along the page, and snaps
the box to them to help you line up your different boxes. Use the Bring Forward and Send
Backward buttons at the top of the Book Editor, shown in Figure 7.23, to move items behind and in
front of one another. These commands are also in the Book Actions menu under the Arrange
submenu.

7.23 The Bring Forward, Send Backward, and Add buttons provide additional
commands to modify the page's layout.
Resize a box by selecting it, clicking on one of the handles that appears, and dragging that handle.
Hold the Option key while dragging to cause Aperture to scale the box around the middle rather
than only the side you're dragging.
