Aside from the video features, does anybody have experience with both Aperture and Lightroom? I'm curious about the workflow comparisons; I have the feeling you can do more geared specifically towards digital photography in Lightroom, but Aperture may have other neat tools like slideshow/music integration and video.

Matt, I dicked around with Aperture 2 some but I ended up sticking with Lightroom. It's got all Apple polish but at the time I felt like Lightroom was still a bit better, especially in terms of non-destructive editing. However, at the time there were a ton of really cool plugins for Aperture that weren't release on Lightroom for doing things like HDR and panoramic stitching. The biggest reason I stuck with Lightroom though was that it was cross platform and with my MacBook Pro being pretty old it didn't run either very well. What I really did like about Aperture was that organization and metadata seemed much less clunky compared to Lightroom, and with the new features in 3 it's probably gotten even better, especially for a photographer that does a lot of location shoots or also shoots a lot of friends and family stuff with Faces. The other nice thing is that, being an Apple app, it's got interesting OS integration for connecting to Address Book, iTunes (easy granular iPhone/iPod sync), etc. Until I get a more powerful Mac I'll stick with Lightroom and I'll re-evaluate Aperture then. I know I saw a ton of photographers on Twitter who were saying they were going to switch after trying Aperture 3 yesterday. Most of them were professional filmmakers though too, so the video features are probably compelling.

I read a good review on Aperture3 from John Harrington. http://photobusinessforum.blogspot.com/2010/02/aperture-v3-out-of-gate.html There are still problems with Aperture3 the biggest being the inability to push the metadata to the files even if you use DNG. that alone kills A3 for me, besides I would have to move to MAC, which is sub-par for Adobe products until CS5 comes out and gets mac up to speed with 64bit adobe programs, (and mac can't do full 30bit color yet) We can all hope this is a kick in the pants for Adobe to get video support into lightroom3, a feature that should have been added in LR2. A3 is mostly now a tool for video organization that just happens to include photos. (and for prosumers/consumers there is the book publishing features) Also don't forget LR3 is in public beta and will be released soon (rumors suggest it's coming in april) LR3 will have better slideshows and slideshow to h.264 video export

> without dealing with the distractions of a full UI pa-lease. can we stop with this reason for having full screen? you want full screen for photos for a few reasons but none of those reasons include. oh wait, I have to deal with this email BRB!' my point is that full screen is there. dammit. hold on. I gotta take this. sorry about that, I was saying. full scr. sigh. TXT from the GFC. now, about that fu. ring, ring. gads, will this ever get written?! right then, the worlds is taken care of! full screen is about not about losing distraction but resembles the way a light table works but re-imagined to work better. that is you don't have the bright white blowing your eyes out as you look at photos. contrast is easier to see when it's black to white. or dark gray to white. but then, who remembers light tables let alone Kodachrome?
edited February 2010
Good point John, but I wasn't really meaning detractions of other things going on in the background, I meant the visual UI distractions so you could focus on seeing the contrast and color, perhaps I should have defined what I meant better. I've actually never used a light table

<i>seriously?!? never used a light table? bet you don't know what HC110 is either.</i> the GTD cowards like to use the words 'distraction free' as a means to GTD their day away. they have this belief that a computer really should have a typewriter mode so they can 'just write'. which is pure bunk. you can either write or you can't. I think it's behooves us to find a different words to describe what 'full screen' does. otherwise the skeptics will dismiss the feature for what it's not.

I am rather confused, as I hesitate between element 8 and aperture 3. Is there anybody who can help defining the difference between these 2. Aperture is 100% more expensive than element 8 . Is it worth ?? thanks
edited February 2010
Kalle, I highly recommend downloading the Aperture 3 demo to find out for yourself. These two applications are in completely different classes, as the price tips you off. Aperture, like Lightroom, is a professional photo editing and organizing application. Elements is a consumer photo tool similar to Picassa or iPhoto. If you're on a budget, Elements may be the way to go (though I'd suggest trying Picassa and iPhoto too before you buy it), if you're managing thousands of photos or doing professional retouching then Aperture or Lightroom are the way to go. JohnFoster, now you're just trolling.
edited February 2010
please don't dismiss Elements as a non-'professional' tool just because it's cheap and doesn't have the word 'Pro' any where in it's marketing. Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 (aka Elements) is more than just a 'consumer' product. I'd say it falls between the feature limited iPhoto/Picasa and the more expensive 'pro' applications. there's lots that this app can do that none of the rest of them do. the 'make the best group photo' feature is worth the entire price of the software alone. there's better image processing, stitching a panorama, and adding TEXT/ titles onto a photo are features you want in the other programs to have after you've used them here. it's nice to know this program is there to bridge the gap.
edited February 2010
Interesting, I may have dismissed it unfairly. I haven't used it myself, at least not for a long time, but I was basing that on Adobe's own description of Elements as 'The #1 selling consumer photo-editing software.'
edited February 2010
Thanks Chris & John. In fact, I have already IPhoto and I feel, I need more features to go further on my photo processing. I have the latest IMac with a great resolution, so the time is in to find a more creative program.

Well, in the case the one upside to Aperture is that your iPhoto library can be directly imported and shared features, particularly in regards to metadata, will make it easy to learn.
Now that everyone has got over their shock that Apple will be consolidating its image editing and organisation features later this year, with the result that its top-end programme Aperture will be closing up completely, people are probably beginning to think about alternatives. I've pulled together ten Aperture alternatives and sought out their positive and negative features. They're all Raw compatible, but do double-check their non-destructive capability.A standard gripe for the majority of these programmes is that they're tricky to get to learn, or that the interfaces aren't intuitive. While it is entirely possible that some of these programmes do have seriously unfriendly workflows and interfaces, it might also a case of them being different to what you know. I remember opening Lightroom for the first time and wondering if it controlled the International Space Station, too. It's all a learning curve. Still, it's probably worth bearing in mind that the open-source options don't have such pretty interfaces as the paid-for programmes.
And finally, we really don't know what Apple's plans are for its photo management and editing programmes. It's possible that Aperture's features will be integrated into whatever comes next. Or maybe they won't, if Apple is looking for a simpler, more consumer-friendly package. But it remains to be seen.
Adobe Lightroom
Lightroom is probably the most obvious option for people looking for an Aperture replacement. It's a comprehensive editing suite that sets the standard in its field. In addition to the expected functions, Lightroom includes advanced features such as brushes, gradient tools and specific lens corrections. It's my editing suite of choice that I feel offers me almost everything I want in an image editor.
However, some photographers—me included—are concerned that the option to purchase Lightroom as a stand-alone editor will be subsumed into the subscription model Creative Cloud and we'll find ourselves beholden to Adobe in perpetuity. If the potential for that bothers you, you might wish to look elsewhere. Mac matte lippies.
Positives
Regarded as the market-leader in its class
Negatives
Feature-laden interface can be overwhelming
Some people unhappy with Adobe

Corel AfterShot Pro
If anyone doubted that Corel were still in business, yes, it is. And if you're wondering what happened to image editing software Bibble, it was bought by Corel. and became AfterShot Pro. The first version met with significant criticism for lack of basic features such as red eye correction and a reset button. This has been corrected for version 2, together with improved batch editing features and new noise reduction features. By all accounts, it's a pretty nippy piece of kit.
Corel has also stated that it is looking to make life as easy as possible for Aperture users who are looking for a alternative programme. It's reasonable price together with its comprehensive feature set makes AfterShot Pro a compelling option. And you can check it out for free before buying, too.
Positives
Quick and responsive
Comprehensive feature set
Supports layers
Batch processing options
Enjoys local editing features
Negatives
Idiosyncratic lay-out
Limited plug-in selection
No web or email sharing capability
Corel After Shot Pro: £57.99 (usually $79.99, currently $59.99)
Cyberlink PhotoDirector Suite
PhotoDirector claims itself to be 'a unique application that combines all the features you need for photography in a single workflow – efficient photo management, complete adjustment and creative editing.' It comes with some serious editing firepower—from body-slimming tools to content aware object removal—and some sparkling reviews. You can try before you buy with a 30 day free trial. If the PhotoDirector Suite is a bit too pricey for you, have a look at PhotoDirector Ultra, instead.
You might think of Capture One as being a medium format image processor, but it's capable of handling dSLR- and EVIL-created files, too. It's history of medium format processing means that many of the features that you're accustomed to seeing in places such as Photoshop as well as Aperture and Lightroom come as standard in Capture One. You might need to take a deep breath when you look at the price, but there is a free trial to test it out first.
Positives
Comprehensive feature set
Supports layers
Local adjustment tools
Clean and customisable interface
Negatives
Expensive
Can be sluggish

Darktable
Darktable is a free, open-source image editing suite that does seem to offer the most comprehensive and user-friendly experience without having to pay for anything. While one should never judge a book by its cover, the Darktable website is the most professional looking one in the open-source category. Luminar 2018 1 0 full version crack mac os x.
Positives
It's free
Impressive range of functions, including split toning, film emulation, watermarking
Tethered shooting support
Negatives
Interface requires refinement
Clumsy and confusing image filing system
Undo system could be better
digiKam
The digiKam website does give me a mild headache, but plenty of people seem to like the software. In particular it includes some features that aren't available in places such as Lightroom yet, for example fuzzy search and facial recognition.
Positives
It's free
Map integration for geo-tagged images
Facial recognition and fuzzy search capabilities
Negatives
Can be buggy
Idiosyncratic workflow

Lightzone
Once upon a time, Lightzone was a commercial enterprise under the aegis of the now-defunct Light Craft company. It went off-line unexpectedly in Sepember 2011, but resurfaced as an open-source initiative tentatively in December 2012 and then more fully in June 2013. Given it was once a commercial product, Lightzone does benefit from better-than-average-for-anope-source-project documentation.
Positives
It's free
Extensive functionality
Well documented for an open-source project
Intuitive layout
Previews effects in miniature
Supports layers
Localised adjustments
Negatives
Users need to register before downloading the software
Weak image management tools
Hasselblad Phocus
Hasselblad's Phocus might have started out for Hasselblad cameras, but it now supports a wide range of manufacturers' devices.
Positives
It's free
Mobile app
Intuitive, attractive interface
Negatives
Not that many people know about it or use it (maybe that's a good thing?)
Apple Aperture V3 6 Download
Photivo
Apple Aperture V3 6 Free
Most of what I've read about Photivo suggests that it's a powerful piece of kit, but that it isn't necessarily easy to leap into it and get started. It doesn't offer any management features, just development functions, and is open about it not being for beginners.
Positives
It's free
Localised adjustments
Extensive control
GIMP integration
Negatives
Not necessarily intuitive
Not designed for image management
Raw Therapee
Raw Therapee seems to offer a peculiar mix of some incredibly advanced editing capability with some serious oversights. While its demosaicing feature is super for low noise images, it's reported that it doesn't cope well with noisier photos. With today's strospheric ISOs, it might be a dciding factor.
