I am planning to purchase aperture but would love to see it being operated,prior to purchase, by anyone in the cork region.I am willing to pay!! Thanks tom.
Why not download the trial version and see for yourself? Or give Apple themselves a call to see if you can drop in and have it demoed to you. Personally, I think Aperture is to be avoided. I have no definite reason for saying this other than the chatter I’ve been picking up on the WWW. I think, for the moment at least, Lightroom sounds like a better product. I don’t use either so I’m not really qualified to make a judgement like that – it’s just a gut feeling I have.
I have spent hours on the WWW reading up on aperture v lightroom an may run with lightroom. I am using nikon Nx to convert my raw , 30 day trial . I need to up grade my mac to 10.4.8 for trial aperture . Nx seems popular enough in the u.s, any users in ireland? The fact that aperture is an apple product may fit together better for me.Someone advised me to upgrade to cs3 as it has goob raw handling features!! More decisions/research..
