Want to learn Aperture?

Read Aperture 2 by Ben Long, Richard Harrison, and Orlando Luna.

I’m working through this Apple Pro Training Series guide for the second time and I am still picking up new tips and tricks. The book is very well written and provides plenty of real life examples to help you understand how and when to use the powerful image management and enhancement tools included in Aperture. The book also comes with a DVD containing the images used in the text as well as lessons that provide over 20 hours of training. After completing the book you can, if you are so inclined, become Apple Pro certified by taking the Aperture certification exam at an Apple training center.

If you want to take full advantage of Aperture 2, this is the guide to follow.
