Product Description:
The only Apple-certified guide to Aperture, Apple’s revolutionary application for managing, editing, and archiving digital photographs! This comprehensive book-DVD combo starts with the basics of image management and takes you step by step all the way through Aperture’s powerful photo-editing, image-retouching, proofing, publishing, and archiving features. It delivers comprehensive training–the equivalent of a two-day course–in one project-based book. You’ll learn time-saving techniques for sorting, ranking, and organizing images for use in different jobs, and effective ways to display images for client review, apply metadata, keep your online portfolio up to date automatically, color-manage your workflow from input to final print, and much more. Real-world exercises feature professional photography from a variety of genres, including fashion, sports, wedding, commercial, and portraiture. All the files you need to complete the exercises are included on the DVD.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent book - required reading for Aperture users
As others have already stated, this book on Aperture is extremely well written, and with its accompanying DVD of samples to follow the tutorials, is an excellent, almost necessary, accessory for any user of Apple's Aperture program. Mine is the version of the book for Aperture 1.1, and since the current version (1.5) has quite a few enhancements over 1.1 the book to get today is the same author's update for Aperture 1.5.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Great Book For Aperture LOWER VERSIONS
BEWARE. one star just to get your attention!
Most of these Apple Training books are great and so is this one UNLESS you are using version 1.5 and up.
This book does not relate well to this newer version.
Wait for the new version book which is in the works for 1.5, I got burned! Don't do what I did. Although the back cover says there may be updates on their website, there are not. The software changed so much that this book is useless on 1.5!!
Just trying to save you money and time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding Book!
I was given the opportunity to review this book by an acquaintance, and I am very glad for the opportunity. It has totally changed the way I approach my digital workflow. My previous workflow started with a folder for each year, containing a folder for each month. Inside the monthly folders were still other folders for each shoot. I would download my digital RAW files in the root of each shoot folder. Then I would create 3 separate subfolders inside each shoot folder, (1) alt (for altered ), (2) fin (for final), and (3) out (for output). I would place the various iterations of each file in these directories for retrieval and sorting. I would open each RAW file in Nikon Capture and evaluate the shot. Then I would make any necessary alteration and save the required output files, whether for web, print, or archive. Sometimes the images would be opened in Photoshop for further work, and saved back to the same ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just Right
I had recently purchased a digital SLR (after decades of film photography) and I had many other scanned images 'from way back when.' And with a fairly big digital project looming, I needed to be 'in the know' with Aperture -- and fast. The book was written well and gave the hands-on learner as well as the visual student something to get a hold of. This is my first Amazon review of a product (though I've purchased a ton of stuff over the years), but I really wanted to give my 'Thumbs Up' to this book for getting me set and ready to go. I did use the book as reference often, as I recalled, "I remember doing this in a lesson... but how.." and Orlando Luna & Ben Long got me prepared. Without much effort I got a photo-journalistic view of a recent wedding, edited & organized and then set up on one of my websites with Aperture. And I can safely say that it wouldn't have happened without this book. THANKS for ... Read More
