I like aperture but it's amazingly slow on even a decently spec'd mac. Despite not being driven by your GPU, I'd go for lightroom for performance. Well, for quality too actually, the image quality is slightly higher.

thanks cacoe...
I've only had a chance to try aperture at the mac store and it has seemed too slow there, but i've not had a chance to try out lightroom since beta 1, which was pretty rough.
anyone else?
- cacoe0
Oh, lightroom has improved a LOT since then, in many respects including performance. It's not comaprable with beta 1 any more

I loved lightroom during the beta, now I need to kick down

thanks guys.

Is the raw converter anygood in lightroom? I havent used it before
- cacoe0
Uh? The entire app is kinda... a raw converter..?
Are you just talking about the quality of raw exports?
- scoops0
is it using the same engine as Pshop cs3? if so them i am a happy camper...

Lightroom.....hit me up.
- slappy0
I thought it was a like a image library app, just wondered if you had as much control over a raw file as you would in say photoshop or weather its all idiot friendly controls for fixing basic colour correction and exposure etc.
- morilla0
same features as aperature
- cacoe0
Imagine Adobe Photoshop CS3 raw importer, add a library feature, add a much nicer UI and faster previewing. Nice.
And yes, same engine as Photoshop raw import.

Lightroom has better performance. Aperture is a seriously power hungry app.

is there any advantage to using lightroom with photoshop vs. aperture with photoshop? basically are there any seamless integrations that give lightroom an advantage over aperture when combo-ing with photoshop?

I agree with xero, Aperture is ram hungry. Lightroom has better contact sheet options but I'm sticking to just Photoshop. I used both Lightroom and Aperture for a while and neither did much to improve my workflow so I trashed them.

(May 24 07, 06:02)totally disagree, since going back to photoshop I have really missed using lightroom. It is so much faster to preview and edit large numbers of images, batch jpgs, create galleries, etc.

humble opinion - Lightroom is poor mans's photoshop and it was created as an Aperture killer. For me it completely succeded in killing it.

these are workflow software, never supposed to replace photoshop
