Video description
This innovative product uses interactive video to introduce
viewers to pro-level techniques in Aperture 3, including advanced
photo management practices that are easy to maintain and ensure
that viewers can find 'that photo' for years to come. The video
demonstrates efficient methods of separating the best shots from
the rest, then shows basic image enhancement and retouching
techniques, including correcting exposure, applying color
corrections and enhancements, and batch retouching, all in record
time. Finally, this product shows the quickest ways to get shots
online and in print. Experienced instructor Joseph Linaschke
presents up to 4 hours of exceptional quality video tutorials,
complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review
materials. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows
the viewer to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual
sections for later review. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks
the video into a small window to allow the student to work
alongside the video. Project files used in the lessons are included
on the disc so viewers can practice what they've learned, and
interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained
knowledge.
