I keep going around and around. I'm a big Apple fan but also know that Apple can be can have a 'my way or the highway' approach to its products, witness the latest glossy (!!) MacBook Pro with zero display options for, er, y'know, PROs. Well, I'm now a year into attempting to figure out which is best for me, Ap or Lr. Is anyone out there using either successfully in a studio that has a server and all that? Can this be so difficult to pick one?? Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope. Hmm.

In any other workflow setup such as iView/Expression media and PS or Bridge and PS if you routinely create a 16 bit tiff from say a 1DsMk2 16mp file as a master/archive file it will be around 100mb, store this and create an 8 bit 'working'version and thats another 50mb. Then make a couple of duotones, some cropped ones and the odd jpg, and that one 16mp file will have generated perhaps 250mb of data, all of of which separate versions you need to track. Multiply by 30,000+ images and thats a lot of disc space. Lr and Ap save that space and simplify the entire process of creating multiple images, cataloging and tracking them.

Great for sorting and organizing. I still can't decide between Aperture and LR.

Photoshop , for almost all visual professions, is a post production editing software. A powerful tool for final colour correct, contrast filtering and other adjustments. Imagine loading 300 RAW photos at 10MBs roughly each into photoshop for adjustments and comparison of exposure bracketing and such... you're computer would mostly crash as photoshop would attempt to pull dedicated ram for each photo, 4GBs worth. Not to mention on a eight core Mac Pro opening those photos might take an hour. That's where Lightroom and Aperture come in. While Lightroom is similar to Adobe Bridge which is a wonderful mid processor sorting system; Lightroom itself is lightning fast and can load one's entire RAW library for sorting, and comparison immediately. Anyone that handles several hundred RAW files imported a week would be foolish not to use Aperture/Lightroom for their organizing. On a final note Aperture and Lightroom are both amazing at backing up one's Library; my personal preference is that Lightroom's backup process is more intuitive and easy to set up redundant backups, something I learned the hard way is needed to protect our work.

You don't even need Aperture's quarter tones. In Levels (Photoshop or Aperture) move the top midpoint mapping triangle to the right. Then choose the red channel and repeat; the same with the green channel. Voila.

Finally upgraded Photoshop and life is good. Henrik said he uses Lightroom as a database. I picked up Photoshop Elements before upgrading Photoshop and it is way better than Lightroom for organizing. And very easy to use. And cheaper. I tried Lightroom and tossed it. Finally upgraded Photoshop and life is good.
