Can anyone give me a decent opinion on the better program out of these two?
I love the way Aperture can categorize / organise your images so nicely, but I'm curious if Adobe Lightroom has superior image control features?
cheers

The short answer. I own both.
Aperture has vastly superior organization, back up, file management tools etc. And a much better UI.
Lightroom has better tools, but nothing you can't already do in photoshop. So if you're like me and find that any image destined for published output with certainly go through phtooshop, Aperture is a better choice.
If you don't own photoshop and don't want to, lightroom is a better choice.

cool thanks mnmlst, exactly the answer I was looking for.
cheers!

Agree with mnmlst. One look at the UI of lightroom will make you run away.

I shoot events so I have to process lots of photos (100-300) at a time. What has the better work flow for this?
Currently I'm using bridge and photoshop but its time consuming and I'm getting too many shoots to be able to work this way.
- Another question, is lightroom's new noise filter any good?
Thankyou!slappy

Just curious, I've been using Photoshop forever. Is there any benefit to use either Aperture or Lightroom instead of Photoshop/Bridge?

If you're using a recent powermac, with a good video card, try free Phocus software from Hasselblad, yes, that Hasselblad...
Hasselblad releases Phocus 2.5 for Mac with third party file support
http://www.dpreview.com/news/100…Rumor has it that Apple let Hasselblad use some of their libraries to read camera file formats.....

CyBrain,
Yes, by a longshot. I used to do the Bridge + Raw + PS workflow, and Lightroom has been great for the past couple years. It's easy to edit in Photoshop if you need to do so.
I couldn't imagine going back to the old way.

shit.
I chose aperture for it's file organization. messed with lightroom a bit back when I was trying to decide between the two but didn't see much of lightroom organizing my files

Apple announced today that it will stop working on improving Aperture three years ago.

I find aperture runs slower anyway.

...so will my 750+ gb of Aperture libraries be supported somehow in Yosemite?

it isn't answering the question, but i heard some nice things about this one, haven't tested it myself, just thought maybe someone did that already?
