Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 1.5
Book Review: Excellent way to learn Aperture
Summary: 4 Stars
Macs and their software are incredibly user-friendly, but even the easiest application needs a set of well-planned lessons that show how to best use its features. Aperture is more complex than most, and benefits from this training series, which really does show you step-by-step procedures that will help you quickly get up to speed.Book Review: Mixed review
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought Aperture when it first came out and found the program a great help to my photographic workflow but the user's manual was greatly lacking in it's decription and helpfulness in using the more obscure parts of the program. On release of Aperture 1.5, Apple seemed to get the hint and updated their user's manual to include many user functions that had up to that point gone unexplained (ex: more comprehensive description of the Adjustment Inspectors features).
I bought this book hoping to go one step further and find useful information and further help on using Aperture to it's fullest potential. I found it did not include much more than the user's manual and wasn't that inciteful or helpful in further use of the program for the cost of the book.
I suggest using the on-line manual and saving your money unless you are a reference junky and need it on your shelf.
Book Review: It's OK
Summary: 3 Stars
I can't say whether or not this book will adequately prepare you for the Aperture certification exam as I'm having a great deal of trouble finding anyone who actually offers it in my area, but I can say that if you own Aperture you own a copy of the Aperture user's manual, and you're not going to find a lot of information in this book that isn't already in there. I was honestly going to return it, but then I carelessly set a glass of water down on top of it while I was on the phone and crinkled up the cover.
