Removing Pages from a Book
You can remove pages from a book. Removing pages removes the contents of the
page, and remaining pages simply reflow to fill the deletion. You cannot remove the
cover page of a book.
To remove pages from your book:
1 Select the page or pages you want to remove in the Pages panel.
You can Shift-click pages to select multiple pages.
2 Click the Delete Page button (or press the Delete key), then confirm that you want to
delete the page or pages.
Choosing a Background Image
You can choose a background image to appear behind the other images on a page. For
example, you might create a page that shows a bride and groom in the foreground and
a church setting in the background. Or, you might choose a background image that
complements the colors of a foreground image.
To choose a background image for a page:
1 Select the page in the Pages panel.
2 Drag the image you want over the page until you see the background change color,
then release the mouse button.
To remove a background image:
1 Select the page in the Pages panel.
2 Click the page background to select the image.
A white border appears around the page outline.
3 Press the Delete key to remove the image.
Using Page Numbers in Your Book
Aperture can automatically provide page numbering in your books. Each theme
provides page numbers in preset positions on the page. You can turn off page
numbering if you wish. You cannot reposition page numbers on the page, or change
the format of the page numbers.
To turn on page numbering:
m Choose Page Numbers > Always from the Book Action pop-up menu.
You can also choose the Automatic option to turn on page numbering. When chosen, the
Automatic option displays page numbers on pages when no images appear behind them.
To turn off page numbering:
m Choose Page Numbers > Off from the Book Action pop-up menu.
