Adobe light room or apreture

[ivy'sgrandkid]

I'm not a real software buff but I've been hearing great reviews on both these programs the question is which is better?
I downloaded a trial version of light room and my god it's amazing! the thing even turns my in cam b&w into color!!! how?!! I'm planning on buying it as soon as I get my school refund

I haven't used aperture extensively, but lightroom in conjunction with photoshop CS is a very very nice combination. Thoroughly recommend it!

I second lightroom, I use it too!

Shouldn't this thread go in the photoshop and software forum? ;]

I would recommend Lightroom as well. The organizational tools it has are simply worth the whole price... and it's cheaper then Aperture.

my excuse im still getting used to the new forum haha and you're very right the trail version has been a blast so far!

[ivy'sgrandkid]

can't wait to make my purchase!

100% Lightroom. I still feel giddy thinking about how great Lightroom is and I thank my lucky stars it finally exists!

I Love LR, no xp with aperture here.
How does it performs compared to LR?

I don't encourage this.. but get both for free! Torrents baby, torrents!

Aperture 2 just came out, apparently it's much better than Lightroom now.

Is Lightroom really much of a improvement over the Bridge + Camera RAW combo I grown to love?
