Aperture 3 is the latest version of Apples flagship photo management application.

Previous versions have been aimed squarely at the professional photographer, but with this new release, Aperture has been repositioned as a tool for both prosumers and professionals. One of the reasons many people have held off moving to Aperture was the inclusion of Faces and Places in iPhoto '09. Without them, Aperture 2 was not really a compelling upgrade for iPhoto users. All has been fixed now in Aperture 3 with the inclusion of both these features and over 200+ new improvements.

Aperture 3 now gives "Pro performance with iPhoto simplicity"!

Part 2 of a mini series of Aperture 3 tutorials . Following on from looking at some of the basics in the last show, this week I take a look at some of the more advanced features of Aperture 3. In detail, the show covers:

• Adjustments & Adjustment Presets
• Brushing in Adjustments
• Lifting & Stamping Adjustments
• Faces
• Places & GPS
• Manual Location Placement
• Embedded GPS Metadata
• Using a GPS Track Log

As an experiment this week, I’m allowing non-members to purchase this single episode for a nominal charge. The Extra! membership is still the most cost effective way to receive the weekly shows, and I’m not guaranteeing to continue selling individual shows, but let’s see how it goes.

You can purchase the HD version (1280x720) with chapter markings for just £2.49 (plus VAT for UK residents) which works out roughly to $3.74 USD. The show is in full HD resolution, 36 minutes long and is downloadable as a DRM free zip file.

Once you’ve purchased the show, you’ll get an email with a link to download the show immediately, and once downloaded, it’s yours to keep. Play it on your Mac, your iPad or convert it to play on your iPhone or iPod touch.

As I've never covered Aperture before, I thought I'd best start from the ground up and cover the basic functionality in this weeks show. No prior knowledge of Aperture is assumed and I approach the subject as an iPhoto user considering moving over to Aperture. Next week I'll take a look at some of the new and enhanced features.

In this weeks show I cover:

• Installation & Setup
• Aperture 3 Introduction
• Aperture Libraries
• Importing Digital Media
• Import Settings
• Viewing Images in Aperture 3
• Split View
• Comparing Images
• Rating Images
• Browser View
• Using Stacks
• Viewer
• Full Screen View
• Using the Loupe
• Using Metadata
• Allocating Keywords
• Metadata Views
• Exporting & Merging Libraries
• Exporting Versions
• Exporting Masters
• Exporting Projects

The third and final part of the mini series on "Managing Multiple Macs" (which may be continued at a later date!)

This week, I take at look at how I manage organising and moving my digital images and videos between my laptop and desktop Mac.

As well as the multitude of applications available to use to work on our digital assets, we are faced with an ever expanding number of gadgets and gizmos that enable us to create images and video too. So as well as how to move your digital images and video around, I also take a look at "Cameras" - a simple yet ingenious preference pane application that allows you to configure exactly what happens when you plug your digital devices into your Mac, albeit open iPhoto, Aperture, iMovie, automatically download or even, just do nothing at all.

I also take a look at using external hard drives as an option to swap iPhoto libraries between machines, as well as a third party application called "iPhoto Library Manager". This brilliant application allows you to copy images between separate iPhoto libraries using simple drag and drop, as well as allowing you to merge complete iPhoto libraries.

To finish off, there's even a short section on moving Aperture projects between machines.
