Bubblegum Bandit January 28, 2006 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member January 28, 2006 I've heard very good things about that software, however I've never used it. Here is a person's review on it: http://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/aperture.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igloo January 30, 2006 Share igloo Member January 30, 2006 Adobe has created an alternative called 'Lightroom'. You can download the BETA for free. I hear there will be a PC version soon. Keep an eye on this software, as it will most likely provide some good PS CS2/CS3 features. As for Aperture... On a Dual G5, an album with 100 RAW images at 12MP makes my computer unhappy. I just find the entire program sluggish. Other than that, I find that it doesn't have enough post processing capabilities. You end up having to do the majority of the work in PS CS2... But, it is a sleek program, great UI. I choose quality and speed over fancy looks. At home on my PC, I use Capture One and PS CS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
