ApertureExpert’s Learn by Video
“Aperture 3.3/3.4 New Features Workshop”

 
Aperture 3 is a powerful photo management tool and image editor, and is unparalleled for sharing your favorite photographs with the world. In this course, you’ll learn professional workflows for getting in, getting out, and getting back to shooting as quickly, efficiently, and effectively as possible. You’ll learn advanced file management concepts that are easy to maintain so you can find that special photo years from now. You’ll also learn efficient methods of separating your best shots from the rest and image enhancement and retouching techniques. Finally, you’ll get tips on the quickest ways to get your shots online and in print.   The changes to Aperture between versions 3.0 and 3.3/3.4 have been significant, and in this workshop you’ll see what’s new. You’ll learn about the interface changes, support for the new Retina Macs, fast camera preview browsing, naming convention changes, iPhoto library compatibility, new white balance and Highlights & Shadows tools, Auto Enhance, the new Shared Photo Stream feature, and more. You’ll also get a guide to terminology changes and see why the upgrade from iPhoto to Aperture is easier than ever before. This course is a follow-up and companion course to “Work Like a Pro Photographer in Aperture 3”.

ApertureExpert Live Training
Downloadble Recordings 

 
Professional photojournalist and ApertureExpert contributor Thomas Boyd shares his creative thought process and techniques in these three training videos. He takes us through a series of his own photographs, explaining how and why he edited them the way he did, and in some cases, how they were shot and what they were shot for. With this series, you’ll enjoy two hours and 45 minutes of Aperture workflow and come away with a new appreciation for what Aperture can do!

NOTE: These videos were recorded with Aperture 3 prior to the 3.3 user interface change, so you will see the old color UI, not the new monochromatic UI.
  ApertureExpert LiveTraining is an irregularly scheduled online live training session that anyone can attend for free. These sessions are recorded and available for download shortly aftewards for $2. They are unedited recordings of the actual live webinar—it’s as if you were there live, except that you can’t submit questions (but you can still see the questions that others asked!).
