Just Right
' And with a fairly big digital project looming, I needed to be 'in the know' with Aperture -- and fast. I had recently purchased a digital SLR (after decades of film photography) and I had many other scanned images 'from way back when. The book was written well and gave the hands-on learner as well as the visual student something to get a hold of. This is my first Amazon review of a product (though I've purchased a ton of stuff over the years), but I really wanted to give my 'Thumbs Up' to this book for getting me set and ready to go. I did use the book as reference often, as I recalled, "I remember doing this in a lesson. . . but how. . " and Orlando Luna & Ben Long got me prepared. Without much effort I got a photo-journalistic view of a recent wedding, edited & organized and then set up on one of my websites with Aperture. And I can safely say that it wouldn't have happened without this book. THANKS for your effors Orlando & Ben and Peachpress! I would recommend this book first, if you're new to Aperture, before going on to others. .

Awesome Book
I've never known Ben Long, but I'm sure he's a great guy and knows his stuff. Orlando Luna and Ben Long are great writers. Ben has to be someone pretty experienced as well. Orlando Luna, is my dad. He's an awsome dad, and an awesome father. I'm hoping to write a book someday, not the same as his, but I hope its just as well written and helpful to others! Peace out home dawgzzzzzzz, and I am a photoshop MASTA so email me for samples of my work: jkidz@bellsouth. net.

Very Well Done
Orlando was my Apple T3 trainer and I had the pleasure of seeing parts of this book early. Orlando and Ben know their stuff. It's very well organized and takes a project approach to teaching this deep application.

There is a companion disc that contains training files that I found helpful.

If you've been waiting for an Aperture book before diving into this new program, this one won't dissapoint you.
