Book Reviews of Real World Aperture
Book Review: Insightful and thorough look at a new way to work digitally
Summary: 5 Stars
I had read part of this book a month ago, and then had an opportunity to hear Ben teach on an Aperture Geek Cruise at the end of May. His writing style is excellent for just about any level of student of this new program. His first chapters try to get you out of the mode of thinking so linearly when working on RAW photos in your Mac. This is not about the hardware or software so much as it is about opening you mind to a new level of creativity where we do things the way WE want to and not by any step by step methodology ingrained in us over the years by using ACR and Photoshop to work up our images. The illustrations and structure of the book will appeal to anyone working in Aperture. THere are nuggets of good stuff to find even if you think you know everything. That is also what I discovered in our classes on the cruise ship - he is so comfortable working with this product that we stopped him numerous times to show us all the little shortcuts and tricks that he uses every day and are included in this volume. I wish I hadn't got sea sick in the middle of his lecture, but that can't be blamed on Ben! A smart guy with the best of the top books on Aperture (I have them all). I'm looking forward to enjoying photography more now and worrying less about the post production hassles by using Aperture in my new shortened workflow.
