Importing from Your Digital Camera or Card Reader
You can import images from a camera or card reader into Aperture using the Import
dialog in two ways:
 Import all images on the camera or card reader at once.
 Import a selection of images from the camera or card reader.
You can also:
 Choose to store imported images in the Aperture Library or select a different location
on your hard disk and import them as referenced images.
 Have Aperture automatically reformat your memory card after the images are imported.
 Have Aperture automatically create stacks of bracketed images or images shot in
quick succession.
 Apply a naming convention to standardize the names of the image files in the Library.
 Apply metadata to the image files, such as keywords, captions, copyright
information, and the photographer’s name. You can also apply or replace existing
metadata associated with an image when you import the image.
 Adjust the shoot time of images that were shot in a different time zone.
When connecting your camera directly to the computer, make sure that you turn the
camera on and set it to the mode for transferring images (PC, PTP, Normal, or another
mode, depending on the type of camera). Some cameras automatically select the
correct transfer mode when connected to a computer. See your camera’s manual for
specific instructions.
