Aperture Stock Photos, do I have them?

Hello all. Quick question.

Went to the Apple store to view the new iMacs to see what I could of had if I waited 6 months. (ehh)

Played around with Aperture on the iMac and it dawned upon me that the stock images they have for people to see might come with my version of Aperture 3 from the mac app store. If so I have not been able to find them. They are nice high Megapixel images from D3's and such.

Does anyone know where it might be located or if its not is it a downloadable option from apple? Would love to tinker with them.

Thanks

Mike
 
Update to this question. After more research I found out its called the Sample Library that was included on Retail disks at around 7gb. Is this still not offered by apple for download or is there another way to get just some of the high res pics. Just looking to play around with a few professional photos while I am learning aperture.

I believe its called the Wyoming album.


Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
It's probably not included in the download since it's so large. But if Aperture didn't ask to either use a sample library or create a new one when it first opened then it probably doesn't have it.

Of course, I'm sure if you looked around on the Internet you could find it.

The Sample Library is only available via the retail boxed copies – it’s never been available as a download. The tutorials in the manual don’t specifically relate to the supplied images and, if I remember rightly, the manual says that the images shown may differ to the ones actually supplied.

There are quite a few sites that provide free high-res, professional images, so it might be worth considering those.
 
If you call Apple and tell them you bought Aperture online and want the images, they may send you a DVD containing them. Not sure if they would, but it's worth a try
 
I would ask at the apple store if you could copy them onto a thumb drive.

when I wanted to test out the MBA 11" they let me install plugins into aperture so I could run tests.

They told me every system get wiped and re installed every night.
