Beautiful work...nothing like viewing sharp images. Please share camera and settings.

I have learned Aperture...and I mean I have learned it! After purchasing the software a few years ago (and upgrading to 3), I started going to the one-to-one sessions at the Apple Store. I've been going to sessions for about 3 years...learning Aperture, as well as, how to get the most out of my Mac. I shoot ONLY IN RAW. My camera would probably explode if I set it to jpg. Two things for sure...Aperture ROCKS...Mac ROCKS. One more time...Aperture ROCKS...Mac ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use it in conjunction with Photoshop 5 for all the layering stuff. I have to admit that the cloning tool works better in Photoshop.
Great resource for Aperture: Apple Pro Training Series, Aperture 3 by Dion Scoppettuolo

I use Red River paper exclusively! Awesome paper and not as expensive as Epson and HP papers. My printer, the Epson Stylus Photo R1900
