Aperture vs. LightRoom
Aperture is annoying, but… it is such a great program! LightRoom provides strong competition but does not manage to take a definite lead.
LightRoom is much better than Aperture where Aperture fails: speed and variety of RAW support. It also has generally better adjustments, much like what would be expected from Aperture 2.0.
Aperture is better at… everything else. At least that’s the opinion that’s slowly emerging of 2 days of working with them side by side. When I say better, everything is debatable, of course, but at the end of the day Aperture is the nicer application to work with.
So, where does it leave me with my unsupported Sony DSC-R1? I still don’t know, really. I’ll see if I can repair the DNG hack that used to work or if I can live with converting to TIFF before importing to Aperture. It might work.
