Understanding Badge Meanings
Throughout this book, we've mentioned some of the various badge overlays that Aperture dis-
plays to indicate an image's status, ranging from whether the image has an adjustment to whether
it has an audio attachment. Chapter 3 explains how to configure your metadata overlays to see
badges if you currently don't see them in Browser or Viewer. However, there are some uncommon
badges in Aperture that we haven't covered yet. Table 10.1 provides a quick reference list to those
badges so that you don't have to dig through each chapter to figure out what each badge means,
and Figure 10.1 helps you identify them.
