In-Depth Information
To edit text, such as a copyright notice or site header, double-click the text field on the page, and
if it's user-editable, Aperture lets you begin editing the text. Although you can open the System
Fonts panel by choosing Edit
➪
Show Fonts, you cannot change the typography for a Web Page.
There are also buttons above and below the Preview pane that control your Web Page's layout.
The Theme button lets you switch your site's template. The Metadata Set button changes what
metadata set is displayed with your image. Choose Enable Plate Metadata from this pop-up menu
to display image numbers. Note that the main thumbnail pages can and typically should have a
different metadata set than the individual detail pages.
Below the Preview pane are buttons to go to the previous/next page in the selected group (that is
either within the main pages or within the detail pages). Use these instead of scrolling through the
Pages and Detail Images panes. The Columns and Rows fields let you control the layout of your
thumbnail grid, and the Fit images within pop-up and size fields let you control how much space
each thumbnail receives. The options for the Fit images within pop-up are:
Rectangle.
Use the size fields to define a rectangle, and Aperture makes the thumbnails
fit within the specified size.
Square.
This is similar to Rectangle except the width and height fields are locked
together to create a square.
Width.
Only the width size is changeable, and Aperture makes all thumbnails have the
same width.
Go to a detail page by either selecting it in the Detail Images pane or by selecting the image's
thumbnail in the Preview pane and clicking the arrow button that appears. The configuration
options for the detail pages are very similar to the main pages. It's important to note that any
options you set on a detail page for the metadata set or image size apply to all detail pages. Figure
8.21 shows a sample detail page.
Creating and configuring a Smart Web Page is very similar, except you can't manually pick what
images are included in the Web site, as the smart settings criteria you set do this filtering for you.
To create a Smart Web Page, choose File
Smart Web Page. Rather than displaying the
theme dialog as with a regular Web Page, Aperture instead creates a Web Page with a default
theme and displays the standard Smart Settings dialog, where you set your criteria for what
images Aperture automatically adds and places onto the smart Web Page. Configure a Smart Web
Page just as you do a normal Web Page.
