Anybody here use Aperture to process your raw images? I just downloaded a trial to give it a test run. Looks badass! I've been using Photoshop/Camera Raw to process images for the last few years but since I switched over to Mac, I don't feel like plopping down $1K for Photoshop. Just curious what you guys think of Aperture if you are using it.

Aperture is not as good as Lightroom which I cannot live without

I have tried both Aperture and Lightroom and still prefer Photoshop....

People pay for Photoshop?

Aperture is cool but I still prefer PS and Camera Raw.

Jay is 100% correct, it's what I do and pretty much what most photographers do. Lightroom does it faster and better overall mainly because Aperture is so fucking bloated, there's just too much stuff crammed in there. I know professionals that can't even figure out what half the shit in there does. Save yourself from figuring it out down the road, use lightroom

Aperature, Lightroom, PS w/Camera Raw
