Lesson 5: Managing Projects and the Library

Question 1

1. Describe the difference between a managed library and a referenced library

Answer 1

1. A managed library stores all your master images in the Aperture library. A referenced
   library can store master files anywhere.

Question 2

2. Which backup method backs up your master images and all the projects, metadata,
   and adjustments you’ve applied in the Aperture library, and which backs up only your master images?

Answer 2

2. The vault backs up your entire Aperture library and all its items. A backup created in
   the import settings backs up only master images.

Question 3

3. How do you select a new location for your Aperture library?

Answer 3

3. Choose Aperture > Preferences and indicate where you moved the library file or
   where you’d like to store the new library

Question 4

4. What is the difference between using the Consolidate Masters and Relocate Masters
   options?

Answer 4

4. Consolidate Masters is used to move referenced files into the Aperture library. Relocate
   Masters is used to move referenced files to a new location on your hard disk. If you use Relocate Masters on a file that is stored within the Aperture library, that file becomes a referenced file.

Question 5

5. What happens to referenced files when you back up using a vault?

Answer 5

5. Nothing. Referenced files are not included in vaults. Only managed files, projects, and
   other library items, metadata, and adjustments are included in the vault.
