Non-video tutorial for Aperture?

I need a non-video tutorial for Aperture, is there such a thing available? A book, a page or WRITTEN instructions? The videos are useless, can't search for what I need to know - ie how do I actually edit a photo and get it to stick (crop, manipulate?) I'm so frustrated I'm editing my photos on my PC and sending them to the mac - thanks!

The Help file is, imho, well-structructured, thorough enough, and serves beginners well. It is (of course) searchable. It comes with the program, and is also available on-line at http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual
The Peachpit Aperture 3 book is used by Apple personnel for training. It doubles as a guide for Aperture 3 certification. It is set up as a series of lessons.
http://www.peachpit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321647440
Aperture is a complex program with a long steady learning curve. The view from the slopes is good! Take a break from your frustration. Learn the names of things, the layout of the interface (covered in the first pages of the two things referenced above), and ask +specific, answerable+ questions ("When I do Y I expect X but I get Z. Why do I get Z? How can I get X"). There are many here who are happy to share what they have learned.

  • Adobe DPS - pop-up panels video tutorial for Indesign Digital Magazine problem?

    Hello Everyone
    Trying to get info in a video tutorial for pop-up panels tutorial for a Digital Magazine I'm working on.
    Had advice to do a Multi-State Object - but this is exactly what I need it for and would love a video link i(f any is around).
    Doing a digital Tech Magazine - have about 12 images on a page.
    Want to touch one image and want a pop-up text box with Tech info on this product come up - I want all other images on page to ghost out on doing this - and then I need a button to click to close the panel down and go back to document and ready to click on another picture.
    Is there a tutorial online on how to do this. Hope someone has a link pleaae.
    thanks: Daz

    Here's the best way to attack this as a beginner.
    Create multipage InDesign file with number of pages being equal to the
    number of states you want for your MSO.
    On the first page design the base state. Copy/paste everything to the second
    page and now design the second state.
    On and on until you're done. Now group everything on each page and
    copy/paste in place everything into one page. Create the MSO.
    This is going to give you a pretty heavy file but will give you a good
    foundation for the thought process needed to do this.

  • Is there a video tutorial for using cyberduck and iweb?

    Might be worth posting that in the iWeb forum.

  • Which video card for Aperture and dual monitors?

    I have a G5 dual 2.0 with a GeForce FX 5200 video card that is driving one 23" Cinema display. I need to upgrade my card per the specs to run Aperture. I have also been thinking of getting a second 23" display. Can someone recommend the best video card for me. I know very little about video cards and have been reading a lot this morning. Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave;
    No. PCIx and PCIe or PCI Express are not the same thing.
    PCIx is an extended or slight sped up version of PCI. While PCIe is a switched bus structure instead.
    Hence they are not the same. That is what all of the big news is about Apple has made the leap over to PCI Express.

  • Video tutorial for Photoshop CS6 3d

    I have been fighting and struggling for at least two weeks trying to find decent video tutorials for Photoshop CS6 3d. Does no one use it? is there nothing out there. The stuff I have found is either incomplete or the sites don't work or function properly. It's driving me crazy and that's being generous.
    Let's face it. If I can't use it I'll have to move on to some other software solution.

    Photoshop CS6 does basic video editing you need Adobe Premier Pro
    Adobe Premiere Pro 3D Stereoscopic Realtime Editing  ...
    Or are you referring to a tutorial for Photoshop CS6 Extended 3d support and the you would prefer a video tutorial???
    Google is your  friend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDVxpnLzOCI
    Ant then there is Google Youtube search.
    If you want to get into a read 3d application there is free Blender http://www.blender.org/download

  • IR video tutorial for business users

    Hi There,
    I was wondering if anybody came across a good tutorial (preferably video) on IR for business/end users?
    I mean a tutorial that explains, in simple layman's terms, the low hanging features such as
    1. How to user filters
    2. How to select and hide columns
    3. How to use control break
    4. How to use highlight
    5. How to save custom private reports
    6. How to generate simple graphs
    I haven’t looked at YouTube, I am sure there will be plenty but I can't access YouTube in our company intranet.
    Just before I go and create one myself, I want to make sure I am not reinventing the wheels.
    Thanks for reading

  • Best video card for Aperture

    Hi
    Which is for you the best video card built for Macpro to use with Aperture, excluding the1,5GB card from Apple store?
    The 8800GT 512 is great one?
    I think I'll use in future with an Apple cinema display 23".
    Thanks
    Koferc

    Barefeats seems to like the Radeon HD 3870 Mac for the Mac Pros. I ordered my MP with the 8800 GT upgrade, but as steebow posted above it appears the ATI has better drivers, so that the 3870 upgrade seems to be the way to go. Aperture was not tested, but in other Core Image tests it seems to do better on the 3870:
    http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
    Here's a recent test of 10.55 compared to 10.5.4 for the two cards as well:
    http://www.barefeats.com/harper20.html
    The 3870 is available at OWC for $217.99:

  • Best video card for Aperture with Power Mac G5

    Any suggestions for a good video card to use with a 2.0 GHz dual processor G5 (AGP video). The current card is an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro with 64 MB of VRAM and the performance isn't fast enough to use Aperture for image edits -- sorts and metadata updates work well enough, but something like cropping is too slow to be workable.

    I looked long and hard for this card, and after waiting for months to get one, it finally arrived...DOA. I sent it back for exchange, and they had no more in stock, so my money was refunded. I looked again, and luckily found another one at a different retailer. It arrived and worked for about a month before artifacts started showing up. I sent it back to ATI for repair on December 4, and I still haven't gotten a replacement. The latest run of X800 cards that were retooled for ROHS compliance are crap. There are so many defective ones coming to their repair facility that repairs/replacements are taking more than 10 weeks.
    That being said, the difference it makes in Aperture over the 9600 is significant, but not earth-shattering. For RAW images, it won't make performance great, but it will at least be tolerable compared to what it is now. There's no other video card upgrade for an AGP G5 that is worth pursuing. Still, it's a rather expensive card at about $300, and considering the quality issues and how difficult they are to find, I'd say it's not worth the hassle. Save up for a new Mac instead. One of the new Mac Pros, even the 4-core model with the Radeon HD 2600 XT, is blazingly fast in Aperture compared to a maxed-out G5.
