Note that Aperture allows a dual laptop/desktop installation and will run on your G4 Powerbook, but marginally.

As you work through the tutorial the various Aperture workflow choices become evident and then you can choose your preferred configuration.Įven if you ultimately choose another app the workflow choices learned working the tutorial are invaluable. Tutorial, not just a manual its value is as a tutorial, not as a manual.
