Using multiple Browsers
Sometimes you want to select images from multiple projects or albums; for example, if you're
creating a slide show or a book or entering a contest and you know the task would be easier if you
could view two projects or albums at a time. To open two Browsers, select the first project or
album as usual. Then hold the Option key and click on another project or album. This divides the
Browser into two panes, as shown in Figure 3.6. You can then select images from each Browser to
copy or transfer to another item in the Library.
3.6 Divide the Browser into two panes to access images from two projects or albums.
Click the Close (X) button on the top left of the Browser pane tab to close one of the Browsers.
Showing hot and cold areas of an image
Some of your images may have highlights that are quite bright (hot) and/or shadows that are
quite dark (cold) in which no details are visible. We refer to these areas as clipped . This can happen
both while taking the shot in-camera, particularly in contrasty conditions, and/or while you're
optimizing your images. Aperture can display these areas with a color overlay so that it's easy to
see where the image is losing detail. That way you can set the adjustments to restore as much
detail as possible.
To set Aperture to display the hot and cold
areas, choose View
Highlight Hot & Cold
Areas, or press Option+Shift+H. Aperture dis-
plays clipped shadows with a blue overlay
and clipped highlights with a red overlay, as
shown in Figure 3.7.
By default, Aperture places the overlay on pix-
els in which at least one channel is completely
clipped. To change the sensitivity of the
3.7 Aperture can place a red or blue overlay on
any highlight or shadow areas that are losing
detail due to clipping.
