Away to Me

With the 20% discount in hand, I made my first Aperture books. The process was fun and easy and the unlimited flexibility that Aperture 2 allows, gave me almost complete control over the look I wanted. Unlike iPhoto which has fixed templates, Aperture 2 gives the ability to layout your pages pretty much any way you want whether you start with a pre-set template or start from a blank page. Photo and text boxes can be re-sized, moved, set on an angle, have borders added, etc.

Right-clicking on a text box gives you access to controls for changing the font type and size.

There were no problems up-loading the books and I received immediate confirmation that they had been received by the printer. I uploaded them on Sunday and received email notification that they were shipped on Tuesday, so they will arrive in plenty of time to give as Mother’s Day gifts.
