no support?

if you're trying to teach yourself [ like me ] and hit a snag -like not being able to drag & drop keywords - then the learning is over [ page 92 for me ]. there is no way to contact ben long or the other authors. now, this expensive book gathers dust. a little support goes a long way for a joe snap like me.

Excellent , Well Written, Aperture 2 is the new Photo Lab.

If you own and mac and if you want to master Aperture 2...this book is for you.

The content of the book is completely up to date and it teaches you the marvelous wonders of Aperture....this is the future of photography. shoot in RAW mode, edit, and put it out there.

I love this book - although I have to say my review is in its infancy. I have just started learning Aperture and reading this book. Watch for more information in the future.... I just wanted to get something in so that you would at-least consider getting this book.

I dont know the author nor have I read any other books on Aperture...so this may be somewhat of a one handed bias opinion type thing...

My 2 Cents...
