Thematic Index to the Aperture User Tips

===== under construction =====

Aperture is no longer sold and developed by Apple since Photos for Mac has been released in 2015. Even the most recent version, Aperture 3.6, cannot run on the current system version macOS 10.15 Catalina, because it tries to access some 32 bit frameworks. But there are still Aperture users out there, who are able to run Aperture on macs with macOS 10.14 Mojave or older system. It is hard to find back to the older user tips, so I am collecting them here for future reference.
