ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the cameras and memory cards, and turns on to internal and external drives. The setting that controls whether or not it appears every time digital photographer's Mac detects that a camera or card has been connected is found in Preferences or through Image Capture, the utility that manages cameras and scanners at the system level. Cameras organize their images into Folders, usually defined by the number of photos they have captured since they were new. Images stored anywhere other than in digital photographer's Aperture Library are called referenced images, because the application has to look elsewhere to get the full resolution photos to work on. Aperture will never delete them unless digital photographer specifically tell it to, with any originals simply copied - not moved - from one media or location to another. Aperture ships with a range of pre-defined metadata sets, but the Import dialog is interested only in digital photographer's own presets.
