I’m a big fan of Adobe. When it comes to photography, Adobe Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS4 are the two programs that I use most. I believe there’s really no competition out there, when it comes to PS. It has lots of filters from third parties. It can: stitch pictures to create a panorama (ridiculously slow, but capable), combine pictures to create an HDR image, or even create a time-lapse video. I primarily use PS to be creative with an image or create a time-lapse video. For pano, I use PTgui and for HDR, I use Photomatix.
Lately, I’ve been reading some good reviews about Aperture 3, and now I’m going to give it a try. However, I don’t know if $200 is worth it for these few reasons why I’m even considering this:
- I like how Apple software integrates with one another. (Mail, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto)
- It supports VIDEO!
- Faces and places. I love these two features in iPhoto.
I did plan on waiting for LR3, but I imagine it won’t be out until at least July (Beta expires June 30, if that means anything). What I am going to do is download a trial of Aperture 3. I did try Aperture when it first came out and think it was bad, just that LR was better. If anyone has used both products, Aperture and Lightroom, and would like to share their thoughts, please do, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks
