Product Description
This Apple-certified guide to Aperture 3 starts with the basics of image management and takes you step by step through Aperture's powerful editing, retouching, proofing, publishing, and archiving features. It delivers comprehensive training - the equivalent of a three-day course - in one project based book. With complete coverage of Aperture's new features, you'll learn to organize your photos using Faces, Apple's face detection and recognition tool, take advantage of Places to find photos by the location where they were shot, and retouch your images precisely with new nondestructive edge-aware brushes. You'll create advanced slideshows that include HD videos, titles, and layered soundtracks, and with the full-screen Browser you'll now be able to use every inch of your Mac display to browse and edit. Real-world exercises feature professional photography from a variety of genres, including fashion, sports, wedding, commercial, and landscape photography. About the Author: Dion Scoppettuolo is a photographer who has taught classes on Aperture and other Apple products world wide. Before starting his own company, he was at Apple Inc. for 7 years, where he worked as a Senior Product Manager on Shake, Motion and iPhoto, and was involved in the first release of Aperture.

 THE BEST YOU CAN GET September 6, 2010
Cesar Augusto Galvao (Caraguatatuba, SP Brazil)
This is very much the first time I put my hands on Aperture and this book was really helpful. Even though it's a quite complex program, this book leads you to different cenarious you are expected to find when using the application in real projects. The examples are very good and I already feel confortable with the screens and commands. I'm indeed very suprised to see how much I learned in a couple of days. I use the program in my macbook and the book in my iphone. This is quite good because I don't have to keep changing from Aperture to Kinkle app. I've reloaded the original files I've downloaded and start to study the book all over again. I want to make sure I'm able to perform the tasks shown without any doubts. Feel confident, this is a top choice.

Aperture is an outstanding program for photo archiving and retouching. This book helps you get the most out of it. There is a lot to learn but this program gets you throughout it.

I'm a new Mac user and at the same time my passion is photography. So I bought for my new Mac the Aperture software: I think this is the best book about this program for the clear text and the complete explanations.Very useful indeed!
 It's OK but not how I learn July 14, 2010

This book is fine to get a step by step overview for learning Apreture but is not layed out in the way that I learn to use software. It teaches key stroke commands and I prefer using my mouse for doing things. For some key strokes work best but not for me, I am a mouse clicker. I tend to learn new software by trial and error and like a book that is more of a reference manual for that which I don't understand.
Based on my way of learning, If I was a software manual writer I would give a quick overview of software In one chapter then detail reference each major function under separate chapter titles. Just the way I learn from books. Not that this book might be fine for others.
