Aperture 2

[Moby]

Hi Guys,

I can't afford CS3 / 4 - anyone got Aperture and is it any good?

I'm not particularly advanced when it comes to retouching etc. so a relatively simple (but effective) program would be good.

Just got iPhoto at the moment.

Cheers.

Aperture is not retouching software like photoshop, Lightroom is adobes equivalent to Aperture.

get light room i found it much easier to use, its not got the flexibility of CS3 but it allows you to do most of the common adjustments to photos with a better interface/access to these controls.

As above use Lightroom, it's really good. Apertaure can do some smart things though, although I would never use them.

Some really good videos on what it can do on Apple's website.

Aperture is pretty awesome by all accounts.

Thanks Guys - it's £100 cheaper than Lightroom too.

Aperture is much better than Lightroom - if you don't own PS

Thanks for the link Ben - there's a link to download a 30 day evaluation version - I might do that and see how I get on.
