Aperture - Using Multiple Browsers
Aperture has a couple of views which may have escaped your notice. These are the multiple browser views. They are particularly useful when rating images and preparing portfolios.
To activate the side-by-side multiple view click on a Project or album whilst holding down the 'alt' key.
Holding down the 'command' key instead will produce tabbed version.
In the example below I have one browser window open displaying a project called 'East Coast ' to which I am assigning images with the keyword 'Deben'. The second browser window is showing me the result of the smart smart album which is using the 'Deben' keyword.
Hope this saves you time!
