Rotating Images

When images are imported into a project, some may appear in an incorrect orientation,
requiring you to rotate them right side up. The control bar provides rotate buttons for
rotating selected images, and the toolbar contains rotate tools. You can rotate images
individually or select a group and rotate them all at once. You can also conveniently
select images and quickly rotate them using keyboard shortcuts.

To rotate images counterclockwise, do one of the following:

m

Select an image or group of images, then choose Images > Rotate Counterclockwise, or
press the left bracket ([) key.

m

Select an image or group of images, then click the Rotate Left button in the control bar.

m

Select the Rotate Left tool in the toolbar, then click an image.

To rotate images clockwise, do one of the following:

m

Select an image or group of images, then choose Images > Rotate Clockwise, or press
the right bracket (]) key.

m

m

Select the Rotate Right tool in the toolbar, then click an image.

Creating Versions of an Image

Occasionally, you may want to make copies of an image. For example, you might copy
an image and apply different exposure settings or other adjustments, or change it for a
specific use, such as for placement in a webpage or book. When you copy an image,
Aperture makes a new version of the image.

When you create a new image version, you have a choice of copying the original digital
master file or the currently selected version with any changes you’ve made. For example,
if you’ve made a series of adjustments to an image and now you want to start from the
original digital master file and make different adjustments, you can copy the digital
master file and start with a fresh, unchanged image.
