Lightroom vs Aperture?

Here is a pretty good comparison: stuartforsyth.com/2009/01/12/the-apertur... Lightroom wins if you do anything other than point-shoot. Aperture wins if you want a little bit more control than iPhoto offers but you still only want to breeze through family photos. I generally tell people, if you take your camera off of 100% automatic mode, use Lightroom.

Here's why: Lightroom is completely non-destructive. No matter what you do, your originals will still be there. There are more adjustment options in lightroom.

Workflow (the way you organize and adjust photos) is open and natural in Lightroom - there are simple left and right hand columns that provide easy access to functionsLightroom works a lot better with photoshop - together photoshop and lightroom are better than Rick Ashley in a sports jacket. Lightroom uses multi-monitor setups like a champ - you can edit in one and (in real time) see the results on the second. Lightroom is multi-platform.

This is handy if you ever want to open up a catalog of photos on a PC. Occasionally, I'm stuck at a print shop with PC's and need a last minute adjustment. This is easy for me because LR works on PC's.

Last, Lightroom connects easily to Flickr, Picassa, etc... but it also has a full template engine built in to build online gallery pages for your blog (or whatever) or printed layouts. Aperture and Lightroom are both very good. I suggest that you try them both but if you're anything like me, Lightroom will easily win - for now anyway.

I am a professional photographer, and can recommend the Apple photo applications, especially if you are using Snow Leopard. Aperture is a step up from the iPhoto software that comes with every Mac, and fairly easy to learn. Adjustments are made in a logical order from top to bottom of the menu.

You can store the images in a library or any folder you choose. Aperture also works really well with my Canon RAW files. The speed has been improved in version 2.1.4, which was an issue on some older versions.At this time, there have been reported bugs with Adobe Light Room and Photoshop CS4 when used under Snow Leopard.

But they are generally great products also. I still use Photoshop for final JPEG output to some of my clients. I also use a program called Photo Mechanic, which is the fastest way to edit a large batch of photos on deadline.

Most editorial photographers use this camerabits. Com application in the field. They also offer a windows version.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
