We review Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual and more (continued)

Aperture Exposed: The Mac Photographer's Guide to Taming the Workflow
Aperture Exposed provides a guide for taking advantage of the new power and abilities provided by Aperture. The book takes an unfamiliar interface and feature set and makes it logical and intuitive so that Aperture quickly feels like an old friend. Ellen Anon is an Apple Certified Trainer in Aperture and a photo workshop instructor; she teaches thousands of photographers every year how to shoot organize and edit their images in person and through her writing. Photographer Josh Anon applies his experience in Mac OS X photo software engineering to reveal Aperture's secrets from time-saving tips to advanced workflow customization advice.

Connected Photographer's evaluation
We liked this book a lot but some of you might not. The issue is the book covers Aperture 1 and there are later versions on the market. We thought this came into our reviews library relatively recently but it does seem to be an older title. If you have an older version of Aperture then this book is a nice read. Otherwise we'd recommend you avoid it. That said some used copies are available for as low as $10 and combined with the interesting Aperture tool itself makes for a relatively low-cost solution.

Aperture Exposed: The Mac Photographer's Guide to Taming the Workflow by Ellen Anon and Josh Anon, published by Sybex, is 297 pages and has a retail price of $29.99. We give Aperture Exposed: The Mac Photographer's Guide to Taming the Workflow a rating of 3 out of 5. If it weren't out of date, it'd be worth a 4.

OUR RATING: 4 of 5
