 Aperture 2 is a winner Feb 03, 2010
I have had Aperture 2 for a year now and think it is great. If you follow along and do their lessons, you cannot help but become proficient. It is a very necessary product and a great help if used correctly.

 Bad quality control Jan 15, 2010
I am awaiting my 3rd copy of the DVD. The first two had defective disks. I tried them on three different Macs and they never worked. Hopefully the third one will work. I had the same problem with this publisher years ago with FCP.
BTW, Amazon has been terrific, overnighting replacement copies of the product. The publisher's poor quality control must be costing Amazon a bundle in delivery charges.

Big Improvement over "A Worflow Guide..." Jan 02, 2010
This book is a big improvement over "Aperture 2: A Workflow guide for Digital photographers" ( McMahon & Rawlinson) which I also ( unforunately) bought. While there are some minimal assumptions that the reader is already an experienced MAC and iPhoto user, these are minimal. Big difference is the step-by-step approach with pretty good screen shots and a solid attempt at editing the book to use the whole page (and therefore minimize the white space) and to display the pictures on the same page as the text. Seems basic but the Focal Press editor of the other referenced work seems never to of heard of these basic composition and editing techniques. I am looking forward to using the accompanying disk to really learn aperture from scratch and, presumably, in a fuller more methodical way.

Great for beginners to the program but has shortcomings after that. Dec 08, 2009
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.
Aperture 2- Engaging !!!!!! Nov 14, 2009
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.
Cheers -- Joe. FApple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2
