Type the album's name.
4.
If you are creating a new album from a group of images, select the Add selected
items to new album check box if you want to add the selected items to the album.
If
you are creating an empty album at the project level in the Library Inspector or at the
library level in Library Albums, leave this check box unselected.
5.
Click OK.
6.
If the album doesn't appear in the right place, drag and drop it to the right location
in the Library Inspector.
To drag it to the library level, drag it out of the project and to
the left until Aperture displays a black box around Projects & Albums and then drop it.
To drag it into another project, drag the album until a black box appears around the
right project. Note that this will not move the master files into this new project.
Where things get confusing is when you start to move images between albums and different proj-
ects. To move images (and videos and other items in your projects and albums) around, select
them in Browser and drag and drop them to the desired destination. Holding down the Option key
while dragging affects what Aperture does with the files in some cases. Table 1.1 explains the situ-
ations you can encounter.
