I didn't mention Lightroom because I don't have it and it didn't cross my mind. From what I understand it has a different workflow from Aperture which some people love and much prefer to Aperture ... and some don't. There is a free trial of Aperture and Adobe have one for Lightroom ( https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&loc=en_gb ) so you can try each of them out.
The question I posed the other day on here, which remains unanswered, may well sway someone's judgement though ... Lightroom (on the Adobe store) is £237.60. If Aperture 3 on the Mac App store is £45 (as it was when the store opened) then I suspect that the choice, if an upgrade from iPhoto was seen as desirable, would be a 'no brainer'. Unless your wallet is really bulging ... :-) Stephen On 26 Feb 2011, at 21:21, Jason Davies wrote: > What about the adobe one - Lightroom.
