Aperture Users Professional Network has just announced...

Introducing the Aperture Users Network
( posted by David Schloss on Yesterday, 07:14 PM )
We took advantage of today's big Worldwide Developer Conference to make the first part of a change we've been waiting to do here. We're changing our name from the Aperture Users Professional Network to the Aperture Users Network. Yes, we're still here for the professional photographer. Yes we still offer content and educational designed for the professional.

But since Aperture 2.0 shipped we've noticed that more and more non-professional shooters have been using the program. We're seeing this in our classes, at photographic events and at in our forums. And we've gotten a lot of emails from people who are asking about joining our group, but start off with "I'm not a
professional photographer but..." read more @ http://www.apertureprofessional.com/showthread.php?t=16263

We have had a slight glitch with my latest Blog… we encountered a broken link...but that is fixed now.

The title of the effected blog was...
Aperture 2 or now 2.01 the rescue of a 25-year-old Dolphin in Australia before leaving for the F1 Grand Prix in Malaysia.
Two images did not upload at first, please check or refresh your system the problem has been fixed!
This particular blog addresses an issue almost forgotten today; what about the older generation of photographers who have a ton of slides or digitized images stored in their archives and shelves. Aperture 2 can take care of these too…in other words a complete system.
You get a very good idea what Aperture 2 can do with old and almost forgotten slides or scans. Read the blog below and compare the images, the ones which where missing before. Sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.
