Load Library View
Upon first entering the Load Library view, ImageIQ will retreive the information it needs from Aperture as well as the data of images previously analyzed by ImageIQ. It also will recognize images that have previously been analyzed by ImageIQ in Aperture Duplicate Detector.
If you still have images that have not yet been analyzed, hit the Analyze Library button to profile your remaining images.
The Reload Library button is intended to be used if you add images to your library while ImageIQ is running. This allows you to avoid shutting down ImageIQ and starting it again. It's also usefull if you change libraries while ImageIQ is running.
The meanings of the similarity settings are described in the options section of help.
