Aperture is built to help photographers minimize the time they spend in front of a computer, so that they can get back behind the camera. This training will get you up and running with Aperture in just a few short hours. Aperture's workflow and interface which are intuitive, and give the photographer the ability to both quickly preview and input images from variety of sources, and then easily process and modify images non-destructively - there is no need to save duplicates. Project work with included media files will provide real world examples of how these features are best used, and when it's time to share your images, you will learn how to output to a website, a book, or a contact sheet - all are just a few clicks away.
