Hello David.

Hello David. I have downloaded the complete tutorial, while logged in as a Premium member. It does not contain the same content as is listed here. The running time is just under 52 minutes. The file is referred to as Aperture2CompleteTutorial. The heading on the Aperture2CompleteTutorial/_start_here.html page states “Aperture 2.0 Promo DVD” and only the following items are listed.

I wondered if the download link was correct or have I misunderstood the offer… that you were apparently making the whole of the 3 hour long DVD training program available to Premium members, without any additional cost?

Kind regards,
Jeff

I had the same result; Its a 388mb file after it unzipped.
Also I was surprised that it downloaded before i had logged in with my Premium credentials!

Hi,
Same situation with my download and very surprised that there has been no follow up on this matter?
How do we get the full 3 hours set?
Thanks for your kind offer anyway and looking forward to hear from you.
Sincerely
