As some know, I'm a faithful Aperture user and anything to stay productive is always a good thing with me. This morning I created some Aperture cheat sheets for myself and even though I'm pretty used to the shortcuts I can always use a refresher.
For you Aperture users I'm providing the cheat sheets for you to use. Download the ApertureCheatSheets.zip file which contains the desktop image and a printable pdf. Currently in wide screen format. If standard sizes are needed I can quickly adjust and provide a new version.
Kudos:
Thanks Richard for your help in proofing and giving design ideas!
If you find them helpful, discover an error or want something changed, post back. I'd like to hear how you're using them.

Glad you all like them as much as I do. It's funny how quickly you can forget these shortcuts.

Thanks' I'll pin a copy to view while struggling the removal of sensor dust from the sky. The processor is fully maxed out just attempting it.
I wish it was possible to enjoy the torture of hurry up and wait.
It was easier to just crop out the sky,and send in the 30D for cleaning.
It's my first tour to the site, and it really looks good.
I was looking at the site from: http://apertureintensives.com/Aperture_Intensives.html
Then a light came on to try in my groups site here.

Not to confuse, Apertureintensives was a pit stop from http://apertureprofessional.com/ which gave me the idea to search Yahoo Groups. Then I discovered Yours. I guess I didn't make that clear. There was no direct connection.
I was on a mission today, to learn as much as possible of Aperture from random sources.
V2 is getting good reviews to upgrade to it. Hoping it solves some of my issues.
I now see I need much more horsepower than this 3 yr old Powerbook laptop has. It's maxed out at 1.67GHz, 2GB, 128MB Radeon 9700.
Running Aperture on him, similar to Chinese water torture.
Any attempted adjustment is huge delay with large RAW files.
Not seeing a typical work flow posted, I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe I have to convert the RAW image first, then bring it back in to make adjustments and then save recipe. Maybe backwards. But an hour on one image is getting really old.

Phil, i gathered that from your post. No need to clarify.
V2 should solve alot of your issues, however, I concur that your powerbook needs an upgrade. I can see that would be very sluggish with Aperture.
It will convert the RAW file on import. If you have old images from a 1.x version of Aperture then you will have to tell it to convert them to RAW 2.0 encoding. You can use the migrate feature in Ap2 to do that for you to speed things along but on your powerbook you may still have to wait a while.
