MB38 0 #2 May 16, 2006 They are two different products that serve two different purposes. Aperture is primarily for organizing photos with a few editing features. Photoshop is a picture editor without notable organization features. They should be used together, in my opinion. One cannot replace another.I really don't know what I'm talking about.

avenfoto 0 #3 May 16, 2006 spot on... however for a vidiot, whos not really editing or manipulating images, just ordeing and packaging... aperature is probably it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

velocityphoto 0 #5 May 16, 2006 I don't know to much about aperture yet , it looks like its primary function is organizing according to the quicktime videos on apple website. I was thinking of buying it since it has some editing functions too..... But my primary concern is oraganizing by time on a certain event. Multiple photographers shooting from different angles of same subject.

rsmith 0 #7 May 16, 2006 ....you can also add adobe lightroom into the mix, currently with a free beta2 for mac (universal) / windows http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avenfoto 0 #8 May 16, 2006 yeah, lightroom is supposed to compete directly with aperature... and seeing as how its an adobe product, id probably hold out on both to see what materializes... but i did get some hands on experience w/aperature at pma, and it was pretty freakin schweet... granted it was running on a turbocharged gfive w/side by side thirty inch cinema displays, but hey...
