Summary: 5 Stars
This purchase went very smoothly. The seller responded quickly to all my concerns. I would definitely purchase from them again.Book Review: I love these books
Summary: 5 Stars
the books are very well done and the lessons clear but challenging, a great way to learn new software.Book Review: Excellent Training for Aperture
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is an excellent starting point to learn Aperture. Apple's site has some pretty spiffy video tutorials, but when you want to get your feet wet, this is a great book to begin the process. Being Apple Certified, I am confident that I'm being taught in a way that the lessons will stick. And, I find the author's are knowledgeable not only in the software, but photography. They are able to blend what they know in both genre, making this knowledge accessible to everyday joes. So, to sum it up, not only did I learn the application, buy I learned the why's. Probably the best advice I gleaned from the book is not to 'overdo' the control. Most changes you make to your photograph are subtle, but that subtlety make all the difference in bringing your photo to life. Aperture is amazing software and this book demystifies it.Book Review: I Like it BUT Missing References
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got into this book today and loved the layout and easy to understand directions and lessons. Until I got to the multiple monitor display/calibration part. I was excited about finally finding a clear explanation of the set up of Aperture and Max OS X for multiple displays and color calibration. Color calibration was referenced in the text as in Appendix B. Appendix B has nothing to do with color calibration and and I could not find this subject (one reason I purchased the book) anywhere.
I had to register with PeachPit Press in order to see if there were any updates or "bonus" materials. I spent half an hour surfing around their website, only to be presented with screen after screen of pimping more of their products. What a scam. One Star for PeachPit, 4 Stars for the authors.
