Summary


In this chapter, we built on the theory from the previous chapters to tackle some common real world problems that you may encounter when working with digital images. We looked at the range of tasks you can actually accomplish within aperture, and hopefully you will now have a better understanding of not just how to fix these issues, but how Aperture's advance features can be put to practical use.

In this chapter, everything was without having to go outside the software to achieve the desired results. Sometimes though, you may find that Aperture simply doesn't have the toolset to accomplish what you want it to, and you need to look outside the software. Aperture has a robust plugin architecture, and there are several ways to pair it with third-party applications too. We will cover all this in the next chapter.
