What's the difference between Lightroom and Aperture?

Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom are tools that can be used to edit, organize, manage and find photos in your library. Aperture only runs on the Mac. The features that set Aperture apart from Lightroom are version creation, stacks and light table capability.

The concept of ‘versions’ is that once you have the raw file you can just keep versions, for example, a version for printing, a version for email, a monochrome version etc. When you shoot a burst of a tennis match or an athlete running on the track, you can stack these photos neatly in ‘stacks’. Unlike lightroom, aperture allows face-tagging and geocoding. Given its capabilities, Aperture is a memory consuming monster – it seems to be designed to future Macs and it will just lag a lot if you use it on a present one.

Lightroom is the best tool if you have hundreds of thousands of images and it work on both windows and Mac environments. Source: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/software/aperture-none.shtml http://www.appscout.com/2010/04/preview_adobe_lightroom_3_adds.php.

To begin with, we all know that Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture are both photography software programs that are really competitive and functional in their own ways. The basic tools of Adobe Lightroom for managing photos and developing raw files are Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw, which are basic elements in Photoshop. However, Apple Aperture has iPhoto, which uses library structure where you can manage organization of your files.

Regarding storing photos, Aperture lets you store your photos manually or let Aperture handle the task. Lightroom has only the first option. Moreover, Aperture has more flexible processing ability while Lightroom features various modules, which is described by some as having a “strict workflow”.

Aperture also has an image editing architecture, which is not yet on Lightroom. One remarkable feature of Aperture is said to be its ‘preview’ jpegs of the images in the library. Moreover, your library files emerge in Apple system media browser allowing you to access using any apps.

And it allows sync function that is applicable with your iPod or iPhone and Apple TV. Overall, I’ve read many positive impressions on Aperture than Lightroom. One factor that makes Aperture stand out than Lightroom for most people is its unstructured and flexible workflow.

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.
