It apparently indicates that the image in question has one or more keywords attached. If one imports from iPhoto, any keywords will also be imported and then the image in aperture will show this tag icon -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire mike_lane at mac dot com

These will all get a tag in the viewer. -- Jim

In case you missed my earlier post, that is not what it signifies. It signifies that a photo has metadata attached. I didn't fully understand it previously, but the OP, Mr. Lane, has explained it himself: no just any metadata; it appears if the image has keywords attached. The icon for a photo with adjustments applied is an adjustment slider -- a white rectangle with a horizontal line in the center and a "knob" on the line representing the point at which one places the cursor when manipulating an adjustment slider. Davoud -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm

I was wrong here: the icon I was looking at locally is a representation of an adjustment control pane, which does show up whenever you make any adjustment. My glasses are out getting a new prescription ground and installed. That's my current story, and I'm sticking to it. For now. > AFAICS all the images have this icon attached whether or not they have been > modified The "hand grenade with a burning fuse" looking thingy, on the other hand, marks images that have had keywords applied, according to the Aperture 2 User Manual, pg. 290. It's the same for Aperture 3.
