You can also control whether Aperture exports Faces and Places metadata with your
images. Unfortunately, these settings are global and apply to all exported files. These
options are available by choosing Aperture
Preferences
Export.
Note
It's always smart to set your on-screen proofing profile to match the color profile
your export preset uses to double-check your image's color when exporting, making
any needed adjustments. We describe how to soft proof your images in Chapter 7.
Note
Adding watermarks
Aperture makes it easy to automatically add a watermark to your exported images. The first step is
to prepare an image of your watermark. (You'll need to do this using another program such as
Photoshop or Elements.) We recommend creating a PSD, TIF, or PNG file with a transparent back-
ground. We also recommend creating several different-sized watermarks, one for each preset to
which you want to add a watermark. That way you're not trying to use the same watermark for a
2048-
640 image. Note that Aperture scales water-
marks down if you choose, but it won't scale them up.

After you create an image file with your mark, follow these steps to add a watermark to an export
preset:
1. Choose the Export Preset you want to use.
2. Select the Show Watermark check box.
3. Use the Position pop-up menu to choose where you want the mark to appear.
4. Use the Opacity slider to adjust the mark's opaqueness.
5. Click Choose Image and select your watermark image, or drag and drop your
watermark image onto the image view.
6. Select the Scale watermark check box if you want Aperture to scale the mark pro-
portionately to how it's scaling down your image.
7. Click OK to finish editing your preset.
