Aperture Metadata views overview
In addition to the basic and expanded overlay views available from the Metadata Overlays pop-up menu, you can create your own combinations of metadata to display with your photos, called metadata views. Using controls in the Info inspector and the Metadata Views dialog, you can either create new metadata views or modify the ones that come with Aperture.
You can also apply combinations of metadata to your photos by recording metadata in a metadata view and saving it as a metadata preset. For more information about creating and using metadata presets, see Create metadata presets.
The following table lists the metadata views that you can choose and the information that each view displays.
