Preparing the Project


As you may recall, many of the images we defined as five-star selects in Lesson 3 are not the picks of their stacks. We were still able to create a Smart Album with those picks, however, by checking an option in the Query HUD to ignore stack groupings. However, in order to use the Five Star Locations Smart Album as a resource for creating the web journal albumwhich isn't a "smart" albumwe must unstack the images and select that same option to prevent creating duplicate versions.

1.

Select the Travel folder.

2.

Press V to hide the Viewer and scroll down in the Browser so that you can see the South Beach images.

3.

Select all of the images in the Browser and choose Stacks > Open All Stacks.

4.

Choose Stacks > Unstack or Command-Shift-K.

It's OK that we're unstacking these images, because we won't need the stacks again for this particular project. If we needed to stack them at some other time, we could simply auto-stack the South Beach images again.

5.

Click the magnifying glass icon for the Five Star Locations Smart Album to open the Query HUD.

6.

Deselect the "Ignore stack groupings" option.

Deselecting this option prevents duplicate versions of images from appearing when you use a Smart Album as a resource for a web journal, web gallery, or Light Table. Aperture creates duplicate versions of images from a stack with the ignore stack option active to facilitate using one image instead of an entire stack.

Note

A web gallery is a type of website you can create in Aperture that is like an online contact sheet of images. It offers fewer options and less control over webpages than a web journal.

7.

Close the Query HUD.

8.

Press V to bring up the Viewer.

Now you're ready to create a web journal of your location images to share with Grande Agency and its client.
