2007–2008 · A one-day class for Aperture photographers
ApertureRoadTour
One day, eight hours, the whole digital workflow. The Road Tour took Apple's Aperture to hotel ballrooms and camera stores across the country and taught color, raw files, culling, editing, output and archiving in a single sitting. This is a record of what it covered, and of what those lessons look like now.
