Mac + Nikon, software?

[Turkish]

I'll ask in here as hopefully I'll get a few opinions. Any recommendations for a piece of software to import/edit the pics from my D3000? No stupidly priced stuff from the CS ballers as I don't use the camera that often so don't see the point in investing a fortune at this point in time. Mac is on OSX Lion.

Is there anything specific that you want it to do?

I just edit with photoshop and then save based on what it is in my on folders.

Otherwise there's Aperture and Lightroom.

Nothing specific tbh, obviously the camera came with viewnx but the interface is horrific/ugly and just user unfriendly IMO. Just something easy to play around with covering the most frequently required tools be it crop/resize/colour adjustments/horizon correcting etc. I've not done any PP as yet so really just after something at entry level that's nice and intuitive.

Just use iPhoto, its ideal for basic stuff.
If you want to do a more than iPhoto lits you then get Aperture.

Aperture is probably the cheapest legitimate software available. Its pretty cheap on the app store.

Otherwise a hooky or student version of Photoshop or Lightroom.

Personally i use Lightroom.

I'll give you my copy of aperture 3 if you want.

Offer still stands.

I just use PS or Lightroom.

Can't remember if iPhoto comes with Lion (I'm pretty sure it does), but if you have it, have you tried it ?

Pretty much the easiest way to import, edit (lightly) and store/organise photos. Links to email, flickr, bookface and other things with a click or a drag/drop. Couldn't be easier IMO.

Aperture is brilliant, I'm still learning with it though!

I use NX2 which works great on my macbook
