Very helpful if you are new at ApertureBy Condo 39There do not appear to be as many books available for Aperture 3 as there are for some other photo programs. The local book store had three. and the public library had two of them. After checking out both books and spending several hours with each. this one appeared to be more helpful. I read the book. took lots of notes. and then downloaded the trial version of the program from Apple. I have since purchased Aperture 3 on the Mac App Store. and have purchased this book for reference and problem solving. The book has been very helpful in learning to use the program and I highly recommend it. Lots of tips and many screen shots to illustrate what the author is talking about. On occasion. the screen shots can be small and difficult to read. but for the most part they are very useful. Many books of this type. teaching photo software. can be pricey. This one is a real bargain.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. It is clear and basically will help you to see all that can be done.By Hubert F. SchmauchThis 5 star rating is do because the book is exactly what a wanted. a book to teach some never having used the program see all its potential and how to access it. It will show you the ldquo;Toolbarrdquo;. what is in it and how to access it and why you would want to do so. It must has a very good ldquo;Importrdquo; system. however. it can be a little hard to understand how use it since the file names were the data are in different location on the screen. The book shows where to look for editing procedures and the best on how to access them. however. you must know how to use them; I feel Aperture 3 by Dion Scoppettuolo dose a better job on technical auditing. but you better know what they are talking about. Aperture 3 by Josh Anon is a great book. I would recommend this book to anyone how downloaded the Aperture 3 to their computer who only worked with iPhoto and is lost on how to use this new program. that is just about anyone at least once in their life!30 of 31 people found the following review helpful. An excellent reference for Aperture beginnersBy Long-Hair DomesticThis book is well-organized and very clearly written. I had been looking for a solid reference to get me started in Aperture as I transition from photo hobbyist to part-time professional. This book does an excellent job of presenting the information I needed in an easy-to-access way. and answered some questions Id had for quite some time as Id been muddling through Aperture myself. I started out using this book as a quick reference when I needed a solution to a problem I was facing. but Ive since read through it from start to finish. and have become much more proficient with Aperture as a result. Now that this book has trained me in the basics. to help my Aperture knowledge keep growing Id love a second Aperture book that follows the same formula as this author teams other great book. Photoshop CS5 for Nature Photographers: A Workshop in a Book.
