Summary


In this chapter we took an extensive look at adding and managing metadata in Aperture. We looked at the many ways to manage your data and how you can view your data. We talked about why metadata is important and we looked at some ways to streamline the entry of this valuable information.

Now that you have learned how to import, process and catalogue your image, and how to output them to the web, in the next and final chapter, we will add the final piece of the puzzle and look at printing your images. We will cover both printing to a connected printer, ways to use the book module to layout your prints, as well as ordering prints from an online service.
