Your video was very informative. Aperture can be somewhat intimidating at the very least. hats where the visual reinforcement is great! its one thing to read it,,,but another to actually see what to do. Keep up the good work!

The Aperture 101 is a very comprehensive overview of the program. As an amateur photographer it covers everything that I need to know and fits my learning style. Add to that the price and it is a steal. I have used tutorials from other producers and paid much, much more with out getting more value in the instruction. I have even suggested that my daughter who is a Creative at an Apple Store recommend it to her clients. Henry Drygas
