In-Depth Information
To quickly reveal which project an image is in from any album, select the image and choose
File
➪
Show in Project.
To remove an image from an album, select it and choose Photos
Remove from Album (or press
Delete). However, removing an image from an album does not move the master to Aperture's
Trash. To delete a specific version of an image, whether you're in a project or an album (and by
delete we really mean move to Aperture's Trash), select it and choose File
➪
Delete Version. If the
version has an Aperture-created master file, it is deleted, too. If there is only one version of an
image, then Aperture deletes the image's master file when you empty Aperture's Trash. However,
if there are multiple versions of an image and you want to remove all of them, select the image
and choose File
➪
➪
Delete Master Image and All Versions.
Also note that it's possible to delete an album, project, or folder by selecting it in the Library
Inspector and choosing File
Delete Album, Project, or Folder, respectively. Deleting an album
does not delete the contents of an album, but deleting a project (or folder that contains a project)
does remove its contents, too.

Using special built-in views
We mentioned earlier that there is a special group at the top of the Library Inspector that lets you
access library-wide collections. Specifically, they are Projects, Photos, Faces, Places, Flagged, and
Trash. We discuss these views next with the exception of Photos, as this view is straightforward —
clicking the Photos item displays every image in your library — and Flagged items, which is
detailed in Chapter 4.
All Projects
Clicking the Projects item opens the All Projects view, as shown in Figure 1.16. In some ways this
view is similar to the Events view in iPhoto, especially if you click the Group by Year button. Move
your mouse over a project's thumbnail to scroll through all the images within a project. If there's a
particular image you want to set as the project thumbnail, press the spacebar when the image is
displayed.
A more direct way to set an image as a project's key photo is to Control+click on it in
either the Browser or Viewer and choose Set Key Photo.
