Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2
Book Review: Best Aperture Book Available
Summary: 5 Stars
As an Apple Certified Aperture trainer, and well-traveled Aperture instructor, I had high hopes and expectations for this book. And Rich, Ben and Orlando didn't disappoint me.
This is the book that trainers train from and it is much better organized than the original Aperture 1 book. The logical flow from section to section more clearly mirrors the real-world approach one should take when using Aperture to organize a photo library.
The exercises are clearly written and they make sense. There's no mindless repetition and the authors cover all the areas of the program that most photographers would need to know.
You can't ask for anything more than good information, cogently presented, in an easy-to-read and understand manner. The Aperture 2 Pro Training Book delivers on all of this and more. Highly recommended.
Book Review: Excellent , Well Written, Aperture 2 is the new Photo Lab.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you own and mac and if you want to master Aperture 2...this book is for you.
The content of the book is completely up to date and it teaches you the marvelous wonders of Aperture....this is the future of photography. shoot in RAW mode, edit, and put it out there.
I love this book - although I have to say my review is in its infancy. I have just started learning Aperture and reading this book. Watch for more information in the future.... I just wanted to get something in so that you would at-least consider getting this book.
I dont know the author nor have I read any other books on Aperture...so this may be somewhat of a one handed bias opinion type thing...
My 2 Cents...
Book Review: Great workflow primer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Aperture for some time and felt that I was not getting as much out of it as I could have. I ordered this book based on the positive reviews here. The book has given me some great ideas about how to manage my work more effectively. Some of the ideas are reviews and some were new to me. The book provides interesting step-by-step examples that teach the various concepts. The included photo files allow the reader to create results just like the examples in the book. I believe that just about anyone can learn from this book, regardless of experience level.Book Review: Aperture 2
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only finished the first 2 and half chapters but this book has been very useful in expanding my knowledge and increasing my efficiency with Aperture. I recently went to an Apple store workshop about Aperture and was told I'm a fairly advanced user but there are still lots of tricks and shortcuts that this book teaches.
The exercises show multiple ways to achieve the same results, enabling the reader to choose what works best with their own work flow.
I wish I had gotten this book earlier so I could have avoided making such a mess of the keyword HUB.
Book Review: Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll write a more detailed review once I've gotten a chance to actually use the book. But I wanted to tell people that this book is beautiful. So many times I've had the unpleasant surprise of buying a computer book, only to find that the entire thing is _black and white_. :-(
But this book has beautiful color pages with pictures. It's the way a computer training book should look like. Indeed, the book is so nice that I'm now excited to use it (before, I was kind of dreading it). Looks very accessible and easy to follow.
