An Overview of Aperture
Aperture is a powerful and easy-to-use digital image
management system that can track thousands of digital
images and provides professional-quality tools for working
with your photos.
Aperture is a nondestructive image processing and database application that lets
you efficiently acquire digital images, perform photo edits, adjust and retouch
images, publish images on the web or in print, export images, and back up your
images for safekeeping.
Before starting work, you need to understand how Aperture is used in your workflow.
You’ll also need to find out about the basic elements used as you work with your
