Aperture vs. Lightroom
Aperture as it stands now is leaps and bounds above it’s beta-quality 1.0 release. It still has performance issues that you have to overlook, knowing full well that the acceleration in total productivity is there. And that acceleration is there. I’m working much faster through my shoots with Aperture than I ever did with the tools I had before. And, I’ve got over a quarter of a TeraByte of images in it and it’s doing pretty OK at handling it. Performance wise, Aperture runs about the same when handling hundreds of gigs of images as it is with hundreds of megabytes.
