ABSTRACT

Taking advantage of Aperture’s many features gives you a powerful tool to use in your digital workflow. You now know how to use Aperture for importing, exporting, and everything in between. Granted there are lots of steps to remember, each of which have their own options and settings, but if you commit to an efficient, streamlined workflow it will make your life easier down the road. Make sure you even do the not so fun stuff such as location metadata and keywords. You’ll be glad you did when it comes time to find a photo a year after you shot it. Get the most out of Aperture’s adjustment bricks, including the ability to selectively apply adjustments with the brush. It’s wonderful because it’s all non-destructive, giving you the flexibility revisit your photos in the future when you want to do some more fine-tuning. Enjoy all the ways you can share you images because after all the hard work you put into them, you deserve to be able to get them out there for others to see. And remember the point of all this is to require you to spend less time in front of the computer, and more time taking photos!
