What's in This Book

This book details all of Apertures capabilities and will help you understand how to integrate Aperture into your current workflow. Along the way, you'll learn tips and work-arounds for all aspects of the program.

In Chapter 2, you'll learn the fundamental ideas that underlie Aperture's design. Then you'll tour the interface and learn the basics of navigating the program.

Chapter 3 will guide you through the process of importing images from a camera or media card. As you import, you will also begin to organize your workflow.

In Chapter 4, you'll dive into Aperture in earnest. Here, after a discussion of how to define a workflow, you'll learn about all of Aperture's tools for organizing, comparing, and sorting.

With your shoot organized and your choice images selected, you'll be ready to move on to image editing, covered in detail in Chapter 5.

If you shoot in raw format, you'll want to check out Chapter 6 to learn about Aperture's raw capabilities and how to use them. Chapter 6 also introduces some raw theory that will help you get more out of Aperture's editing tools when working with raw files, and it offers exposure tips to help you capture raw files that have more editing latitude.

As mentioned already, Aperture is not meant to replace Photoshop, and so it provides a built-in facility for moving your images from Aperture into an external editor and back again. Chapter 7 details this process and helps you understand how Aperture handles different types of Photoshop files.

Aperture's output options are impressive, offering everything from print to Web to book printing. Chapter 8 takes you through them all.

In Chapter 9, you'll learn how to use the program's built-in archiving features to save backups of your images. This chapter also provides an overview of how all the topics in this book fit together to help you achieve an Aperture-driven post-production workflow.
