I You can change the order of images in the dialog by choosing a sort order from the Sorting pop-up menu. You can also select images in the Import dialog and rotate them to the orientation you want. Click a Rotate button and then click the image you want to rotate, or select several images to be rotated and click a Rotate button to rotate them all at once. Aperture imports the images into your projects with the orientation you selected. When you import images, Aperture can automatically check to see if any of the images are duplicates of previously imported images. Aperture checks the filename of the master to determine if the image is a duplicate of one in the library. Select the "Do not import duplicates" checkbox to prevent Aperture from importing duplicates. If this checkbox is not selected, Aperture imports all images, even if they are duplicates, and creates a new master with a different name for each duplicate. Aperture never overwrites or replaces a master that has already been imported. Importing from Your Digital Camera or Card Reader You can import images from a camera or card reader into Aperture using the Import dialog in two ways:  Import all images on the camera or card reader at once.  Import a selection of images from the camera or card reader. You can also:  Choose to store imported images in the Aperture library or select a different location on your hard disk and import the images as referenced images  Have Aperture automatically reformat your memory card after the images are imported  Have Aperture automatically create stacks of bracketed images or images shot in quick succession  Display images in the Import dialog as a grid of thumbnails or as a list that you can sort  Rotate images so that they are all imported right side up or with the orientation you want  Apply a naming convention to standardize the names of the image files in the library  Apply metadata to the image files, such as keywords, captions, copyright information, and the photographer's name. You can also apply or replace existing metadata associated with an image when you import the image.  Adjust the shoot time of images that were shot in a different time zone Chapter 4 Importing Images 113
