Book description
The only Apple-certified guide to Aperture, Apple’s revolutionary application for managing, editing, and archiving digital photographs! This comprehensive book-DVD combo starts with the basics of image management and takes you step by step all the way through Aperture’s powerful photo-editing, image-retouching, proofing, publishing, and archiving features. It delivers comprehensive training–the equivalent of a two-day course–in one project-based book. You’ll learn time-saving techniques for sorting, ranking, and organizing images for use in different jobs, and effective ways to display images for client review, apply metadata, keep your online portfolio up to date automatically, color-manage your workflow from input to final print, and much more. Real-world exercises feature professional photography from a variety of genres, including fashion, sports, wedding, commercial, and portraiture. All the files you need to complete the exercises are included on the DVD.
