Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2
Book Review: A work book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book comes with a DVD with media files to load to a Mac and then follows step by step on hands learning for work flow within Aperture 2.
The book starts with the basics in a Getting Started chapter outlines system requirements, setting up the environment and system preferences, calibrating display while explaining methodology and course structure, as well as outlines chapters that are for importing and organizing, image editing and printing.
I believe it would be quite useful to anyone new or casually familiar and yet serious about using Aperture 2.
Book Review: Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll write a more detailed review once I've gotten a chance to actually use the book. But I wanted to tell people that this book is beautiful. So many times I've had the unpleasant surprise of buying a computer book, only to find that the entire thing is _black and white_. :-(
But this book has beautiful color pages with pictures. It's the way a computer training book should look like. Indeed, the book is so nice that I'm now excited to use it (before, I was kind of dreading it). Looks very accessible and easy to follow.
Book Review: A must read for anyone using Aperture
Summary: 5 Stars
This book and accompanying CD provide an excellent, hands-on tutorial for anyone using Aperture to process digital images. Both the professional and amateur photographer will find it beneficial. I not only learned how to add impact to my photos, I learned how to take better photos as well. The lessons are easy to follow and readers can pace the instruction to their level of experience. For those using PhotoShop, the book also address editing with PhotoShop while working in Aperture.Book Review: Great for beginners to the program but has shortcomings after that.
Summary: 4 Stars
As a newbie to Aperture 2 I was drawn to this book for it's step-by-step training format, and it does that very well. After going through the training I still have the need for a tightly organized reference resource, which is where this book falls short IMO, you have to go back through each lesson to find what you are looking for. The bottom line is that the book does what it's advertised to do very well but it's not the be-all, end-all book for Aperture 2.Book Review: Aperture 2- Engaging !!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found this book to be well-composed, easy to understand and helpful towards the goal of master certification with Apple.
If you are new to digital photography and editing, then you should seriously consider purchasing this book and the Aperture 2 software.
