An Introduction to Aperture 3 (Aperture 101)

"Work like a pro from import to output. Post-Production for Professional Photographers"

 

This two-day course starts with image management basics and takes you step by step through Aperture's powerful editing, retouching, proofing, publishing, and archiving features. Learn to organize your photos using Faces, Apple's face detection and recognition tool, take advantage of Places to find photos by where they were shot, and retouch your images with nondestructive edge-aware brushes. Create advanced slideshows that include HD videos, titles, and layered soundtracks. Real-world exercises feature professional photography from a variety of genres.
