Aperture 3 - sooooo sexy!!!

Postby muzz on Wed Feb 10, 2010 3:10 pm

Apple's Aperture 3 is out and with all the new features introduced, for me the upgrade price of $119 is a no brainer:

I was thinking about paying US$40 for Maperture Pro to geotag - it's now all in Aperture so that is a saving in itself. I'm off the the Apple store now............. :cheers:

I'm glad they now support audio attachments to images, and will use the audio tagging on my camera a lot more as a result. Also looking forward to the CA reduction feature, which I used to love back when I was using Bibble Pro. If it works as well as Bibble's I might hold off on purchasing NX2 for a while.

Good upgrade pricing, too.

Cheers
Steffen.

Very interesting. At that price it's got to be worth a try.

They are really two quite different products. APerture is more akin to Lightroom than Photoshop.
A is strong on photo organisation, but relatively weak (but by no means useless!) at tweaking an individual photo PS is great at tweaking, but weak -useless actually - on organisation. That's why they make you buy LR as well.

If you have neither, I would suggest Aperture, then if you find you want to tweak more than it allows, then consider PS as well.

I think that Photoshop is meant to be used in conjunction with Adobe Bridge (which is designed as an organising tool), and has a direct link from PS (and other apps in the CS range) to Bridge (and vice versa)....though Lightroom is the better "one-tool" option for photographers (but isn't as advanced in it's editing capabilities as Photoshop).
