  I think that is a question that only you can answer, based on trial use of both tools for your own specific applications.

  Aperture for me. Runs faster on Leopard and version 2 is going to be great.

  could this be a case of

  'same shit, different century' -ism?

  ...really don't know... i thought aperture had almost vanished all of a sudden...

  thats what i thought cause they laid off almost the whole dev team for it.

  and most of them went to Adobe beginning of this year

  ahhhh... this could be, my friend!
  so basically the two share sme/similar technologies then?

  • No its prolly like Motion and AE, where Motion is more GPU accelerated and core image driven– modern

  lightroom is def badass.

  Although there are some interesting limitations. The biggest one that screwed me up is the 10,000 pixel size limit. I do tons of pano work and now I have to size images to 9,999 pixels in order to import them. Boooooooo

  I haven't seen or used lightroom yet, but I heard that its faster than aperture.

  I do have the new aperture on an intel mac and I have to say, the fact that you can now reference files to external drives (as opposed to the first version) makes it a lot faster to browse large libraries.

  I've been test driving the Aperture 2 trial and the Lightroom 2 Beta for about a week now and the verdict is:

  Lightroom pwns Aperture hands down.

  • Mind sharing why? I currently use Aperture 1.5 and was thinking about upgrading but may jump to Lightroom if it's really a better tool.– nearestexit1/2

    lightroom has better interface and work flow and better quality over all in editing and managing– MrDinky2/2

  I keep hearing this but haven't had a chance to try either. What gave Lightroom the edge?

  • currently using lightroom 1.4– sikma

  ^ Ease of use, power of the tools, how easy the tools are to understand and use, smart collections, etc.

  It's a lot of little things that I'm sure Aperture might do but LR just had a wow factor with me that made it the clear winner almost at first glance.

  I use Aperture 2, but I only use it for cataloging purposes. I very rarely need to edit photos since I'm so used to film, although I do occasionally adjust WB. The only time I really need to do selective coloring and such is when using it for a project at which point I'll have it in Photoshop anyway.

  • One of the things that brought me to LR was the fact that I like to rifle through a bunch of edits– ninjasavant1/5

    on multiple pics and jumping back and forth between whatever and Photoshop was kinda annoying and time intensive . . .– ninjasavant2/5

    intensive. LR helps speed up my workflow and leaves PS for the intense edits.– ninjasavant3/5

    That's my point; my only edits are the intense ones for specific projects. Otherwise, I'm fine with just having a pretty browsing interface.– ismith4/5

    interface, which to me is Aperture.– ismith5/5
