Trailer ~ Aperture Intensive Training DVD

Mike Turner - Hi Sara

What can I say!

I managed to collect my DVD from my Post Office on Saturday morning – making sure I was standing outside the office when it opened at 7am ( Keen or what! )

I raced home and eagerly unwrapped the package

First of all I was struck by the presentation of the DVD’s Having previously ordered the Pages templates for the Jewlboxing cases, it was nice to see how professional the finished product looks and feels. I am sure that your photographic clients must be equally delighted when they receive their DVD’s

The content itself was truly stunning. I have learned more through watching your DVD than I have in the two years plus since I started with Aperture and then moved to Aperture 2. Apple should consider including a copy of your DVD with every copy of Aperture they sell. Im sure this alone would double the sales of their software!

An awesome experience and one that was certainly worth the wait. The supporting downloads were again excellent and really complimented the DVD’s

Congratulations on a superb job. I for one can’t wait for your next adventure into the world of training DVD’s

Thanks again

Mike Turner
