Apple Pro Training Series: Getting Started with Aperture

Lesson 3. Comparing and Rating Your Images

Now that your images are organized and stacked, we can start photo editing. Aperture is designed to beautifully streamline the process of viewing, comparing, rating, grouping, and applying keywords to large numbers of full-resolution photographs, including RAW images.

In this lesson, you'll start by comparing images first in the Viewer and then in the Light Table. Next, you'll assign simple and advanced ratings to images. Finally, you'll add keywords and metadata to images and create a Smart Album to group some images by specific search criteria.
