The Aperture vs Lightroom Shootout →
Stuart Forsyth discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the 2 leading photo management software at the moment, Aperture & Lightroom.
Prior to Aperture 3, my experience with the program was minimal and I often avoided exploring it because I’ve been quite satisfied with the workflow I’ve already created with Lightroom and I saw no need to recreate that elsewhere.
After reading Stuart’s separate post on his first impressions of A3, he reinforced my feeling on why I’ve stuck to what I already know rather than pondering if there’s something better -
I’d ask those who I’ve seen on various social sites and blogs trying to flame or belittle the “other” tools due to a personal preference or limited experience in one or the other to stop being silly. Aperture and Lightroom are two top notch products and their fierce competition is bringing innovation and fantastic features sets to both.
In essence they have the same goals in mind, albeit slightly different in their implementation. Enjoy the tools you use, be informed of the options and spend less time arguing and more time taking and producing great photos.
