In this segment, Saddleback's Global Executive Director of the PEACE Plan explains why photographers are critical to these missions and why you should get involved.

Organizing your images in Aperture

There are many different approaches to organizing your images in Aperture - Apple®, and my approach is one of them. I did already experiment with 2 different approaches and I will tell you the advantages / disadvantages of both. In this tutorial we will be focusing purely on the organization aspect and you will learn everything about Libraries, Projects, Folders, (Smart)Albums and how you can use them to organize your images.

The Library

The top level of organization is an Aperture Library. As you will see in the tutorial, it is fairly easy to create a new library, and with Aperture 3 you can easily switch between libraries. Every Aperture Library contains it's own sets of Projects, Folders, Images, Albums, ... Additionally every Library has it's own set of faces, places and keywords too.

Personally I'be been using a separate library for Family pictures and another library for professional pictures. This isn't necessary but I like to separate those images, so I can back them up separately. Additionally, I don't want the faces of people I shot at a work related event to mix with the faces of friends and family members.

Folders

Folders can be used to organize your Project and Albums. You can create folders at the Library level, but you can also create folders inside projects. My Library has a folder structor which looks similar to Category/Subcategory/Event/ but a Structure which looks like Category/Client/Year might be more suitable for a professional library.

As I mentioned, folders can contain Projects and (Smart)Albums. Lets say you have a folder called Family Events, which contains several projects for Birthday Parties, Thanksgiving diners, ... Well if all those projects are within one the folder Family Events, you could easily create a smart album containing all images in which You have been tagged or your face has been found. That smart album would then contain all the images from all the Projects within that folder which match the given criteria. This way you can easily create albums which span different projects.

In earlier versions of Aperture we had Brown folders and Blue folders. The Brown folders were used for organization within a project, and the blue folders were used for organization outside of a project. By now ... the brown folders have disappeared, and all folders are now blue folders. You can easily move folders from one place to another, but once your folder contains one or more project, you won't be able to move that folder into a project (since it already contains projects).

More professional photographers tend to organize their folders by year. For example ... a folder for 2008, then a folder for each month, and within those folders the project for each Client / Shoot. I tried that approach too, but it didn't work for me. After 3 years I started to have trouble remembering in which year I took what kind of pictures, so I switched to my approach. If I still need all images shot in a specific year ... I can still use a Smart Album for that. My new approach allows me to have a smart album for all images shot in a specific year within a specific project, and even have a smart album for all images across all project shot in that particular year.

Projects

In my personal Aperture Library, every project will be a particular event. Every project contains all the images, folders, (smart)albums for that particular project. Many professional photographers will use a project for each shoot, and I tend to do that in my more professional Aperture Library too, but in my personal library ... a project is more some kind of event. For example, I will have a project for a holiday we made, or a trip we made, a project for Christmas Eve pictures and a project for Birthday pictures.

Back in the early Aperture days, there was a limit of 10.000 images for each project in your Aperture library. By now ... the limit is 100.000 images for every project within your library. This means that I can easily group all my Christmas Eves pictures together into one single project. By the time my Christmas Evens project contains more than 100.000 pictures Aperture will probably already be at version 6, and that limit will have raised anyway :-)

(Smart)Albums

As I mentioned before, I tend to use a lot of Smart Albums within and across my projects. Inside a project, I will be using Smart Albums for every year. For example, all images for Christmas are grouped within one project, but I do have a smart album which contains all images for Christmas 2002 and Christmas 2003. Smart albums can also be used to group all images take on a particular day, or containing a specific keyword, with a given rating, or any combination of those (and other) criteria.

Sometimes I also use Albums or Smart Albums to group the images I want to share on Flickr together. When we go on holiday for example, I might take 1500 shots, back home I check them, and I might 'BART' quite a few of them. Most of the time, if an image is not in focus, it will probably get deleted ... Once I've done this initial Triage, I might still have 300 - 500 images left, and it is kinda pointless to upload all those images to Flickr.

Usually I take a selection of images I like, make sure they have some tags, some geocoding, and I might add a specific title or description to that image, put it in a 'To Upload to Flickr' (smart)album and once I'm done upload only those few images to a public set on flick.

Conclusion

There are many different approaches to organizing your images in Aperture, and there is no single 'Perfect way' to organize your images. Personally I picked an approach which suits me best for that specific set of images. In my case, this might even be different between a Family and Friends Library and a more Professional Library. You should probably pick the method which allows you to find your images as quickly as possible, and that's exactly what I did.

One thing to remember though is that you can do a lot with folders. Not only can you use folders to organize stuff within a project, but you can also use folders to organize across projects. Grouping projects together in Folders allows you to create Smart Albums which will show all images across those project, and that is something I use a lot.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you did ... please feel free to take a look at my images on Flickr, leave a comment on this post, and if you do have some spare time, please write a review for this podcast in the iTunes Music Store. Any feedback and suggestions are also welcome. In the mean time ... I will be preparing for the next tutorial in the Aperture series, which will take a close look at importing images ...

The iTutor Podcast is normally a Dutch Macintosh Video Tutorial podcast, but the topic for this month's show was suggested by a fellow Noscilla Castaway during the live recording of the Noscillacast podcast (hosted at podfeet.com).

Someone in the Chatroom was mentioning that it was a bit difficult to use keywords in Aperture - Apple®. And that's when I asked if they were using a specific Keyword Hierarchy. Apparently a few poeple didn't really understand what I meant, so I suggested I would make a Video Tutorial about it ... and here we are ...

Creating a Keywords and a Keyword Hierarchy

Creating Keywords in Aperture is fairly easy. You can start by opening up the Keyword Hub using the Menu Window - Show Keywords Hud or by pressing Shift H. This should bring up the Keywords Hud in which you can add, remove and organize your keywords. The keyword hud also allows you to nest keywords within each-other, and thus creating a keyword hierarchy. This will prove to become very useful later when you have to find back your images and when you want to tag your images using keywords.

Adding Keywords on Import

As you might or might not know, you can easily add keywords while importing images. I did not find how to enter the keywords so they go directly in the right spot in the hierarchy, but that is no problem at all, since we can move the keywords later on. In the second chapter of this tutorial you will see how you can add keywords upon import of your images into Aperture.

Adding Keywords after Import

This chapter will teach you how to add keywords to images once they have been imported into the Aperture library. This is where I will show you how you can drag and drop keywords from the keyword hud onto a selection of images.

Using the Keyword Controls

You can also set up Keyword Controls and use buttons at the bottom of the screen to add keywords to your images. You can show the Keyword Controls by choosing Window - show Keyword controls from the menu or using the keyboard shortcut Shift and D. This chapter will take you through the proces of setting up and creating a set of Keyword Buttons for your own keywords.

The Keyword Controls are an easy way to quickly add specific keywords to individual images. Personally I have been using it to add keywords / tags to the pictures I shot for the people of my family in the pictures. I know you could use Faces for that, but it's a habit ... and i have been doing it since Aperture 1 ... long before we had things like faces and places.

Finding pictures

Now that we have tagged our pictures using keywords in our hierarchy, I can demonstrate the true power of the keyword hierarchy. For example lets say I have a keyword hierarchy which looks like this : People -> Family -> Lesage -> Jens. I could simply add the keyword Jens to my images, and Aperture will implicitly add the keywords above Jens (in my hierarchy) to my images. Thus ... each image to which I added the Jens keyword now implicitly also has the Lesage, Family and People keywords.

This comes in very handy since I can use that in Smart Albums. Simply create a Smart Album and set it up so it shows all images with the keyword Family and you will suddendly see all images appear which have a keyword deeper in the hierarchy under Family. It is a bit hard to explain in text, but you'll surely see what I mean when you have a look at the tutorial.

FlickrExport 4 by ConnectedFlow

Personally i've been using Flickr to share my pictures with friends and family. Years ago I purchased the FlickrExport plugin for Aperture by Connected Flow. This plugin allows me to upload my images to Flickr and include the full Keyword Hierarchy if needed.

Final Word

Well... I hope this Tutorial showed you to power of the Keyword Hierarchy in Aperture. Hopefully you can incorporate it into your workflow and the task of adding keywords and using keywords has become a lot easier.
