“ It was a great introduction to the Aperture. I just wish there was a intermediate or advanced version to learn the more advanced applications of Aperture.
The only suggestion I have is to shorten the corporate introductions, after an hour or so the intro's became VERY repetitive. ”

“ Every tutorial I have purchased from Macprovideo has been first class and much more fun than reading a user manual. ”
