Aperture 2
It's good...but not Photoshop
Written by MH from Leeds

Aperture is a very good app if you're looking for something that can make even average photos look good, but if you want something that will knock out a background, then you're going to have to spend out on Photoshop...

Aperture 2
Great software, if you have the grunt!

Aperture is a really elegant, powerful and wonderfully easy to use photo app, perfect for creating your own storage structure plus the benefit of having a good UI and raw file handling system, editing is a sinch. However, beware if you have a 'lower' spec mac. I run a 2.16 intel macbook pro 17" with max ram (older model so its 2gb) and im afraid aperture can eventually bring the system to a crunching halt when tasked. Considering apple spec my machine as being more than adequate, it is far from the ripping fluid app it could be. Ive switched to lightroom for a bit and it does work twice as quick, but just is nowhere near as neat as aperture. Also, apple are much slower at updating the software to work with new cameras, my new little Panasonic G1 just is not supported. Im going to hang on in there as I will upgrade my 2 year old mac soon, but feel a little disapointed that im having to spend over £1500.00 to use what could be the best app apple have ever made.
