This the PhotoFrame for Aperture dialog. It consists of these controls:

  • Category List: Lists your preset categories as well as a special category for your Favorites. Click on the triangle to open each category, just like the Library in PhotoFrame.
  • Description: Displays the description for the selected preset. You can close this section by clicking on the triangle next to the section title.
  • Cancel: Cancels PhotoFrame for Lightroom
  • Open...: Rather than applying a preset directly, this option will open your image in PhotoFrame so you can manually select the frame(s) and options
  • Apply Preset: Applies the selected preset to your image(s)

   Note: Aperture will always create a copy of your image for editing. You can control the file type and options that it creates in the Aperture preferences.
