Working with Metadata Presets You can create your own preset combinations of metadata that you want applied to images. You create a preset by first choosing a metadata view that displays the types of metadata you want to apply. You can also create a custom view if you want. You then add the metadata you want to apply to the view's metadata fields, and save the information as a metadata preset. Your metadata preset is then available to be chosen when you import images, batch change images, or modify an image's metadata in the Metadata inspector. Aperture also provides easy methods of managing your presets. Creating Metadata Presets You can create new metadata presets that apply different combinations of metadata. To create a new metadata preset: 1 To show the Metadata inspector, click the Inspector button in the toolbar (or press I), then click the Metadata tab. 2 Choose the metadata view that you want to use for the preset from the Metadata View pop-up menu. 3 Enter the metadata you want applied to your images in the metadata fields. 4 Choose Save as Preset from the Metadata Action pop-up menu. 5 In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the new metadata preset, then click OK. The new metadata preset now appears under the Append with Preset and Replace with Preset commands in the Metadata Action pop-up menu. 284 Part II Photo Editing
