Apple Aperture 3

Aperture is a dedicated end-to-end workflow tool for photographers, and this book guides the reader through the complete process from capture to output. The beauty of Aperture is that--unlike Adobe's rival workflow software, Lightroom--it doesn't force a particular structure or workflow on to the user. This more open-ended approach means it is becoming increasingly popular with photographers, but also means that there is a lot to learn for a newcomer to the software. Whether you are cataloging, organizing and adding Metadata to thousands of RAW files; selecting, cropping and correcting an individual image; or preparing files for final output to web or print, this book provides a complete reference for producing high-quality results with Aperture.
