Drag photos into different projects and albums

You can drag photos into different projects and albums. Depending on where you drag a photo, Aperture either moves or copies the photo to the new location.

As a general rule, when you drag a photo into a different project, Aperture moves the photo into the new project.

When you drag a photo into a different album, Aperture creates a duplicate version of the photo and places it in the album. A photo can be copied into any album in the same project or into albums in different projects. The destination album can be an album, book album, Light Table album, slideshow, or web journal or webpage album.

You can also drag photos out of Smart Albums. If you drag a photo from a Smart Album into another album, the version is copied to the new location. If you drag a photo into a project different from the project that contains the Smart Album, Aperture moves the photo to the destination project. All links to versions in other albums are maintained. For more information about working with Smart Albums, see Collect photos in a new Smart Album.
