Aperture Place and view photos in the Light Table
After adding photos to the Light Table album, you can select the ones you want to work with and place them in the Light Table for viewing. You can adjust the Light Table view, which is particularly useful when the Light Table is larger than your screen size. You can also increase the area of the Light Table.
