Aperture is US$ 79,99 in the Store, Lightroom now seems so expensive...



Except that RAW processing and denoising in LightRoom 3 is so much better than in Aperture 3 for my Panasonic Lumix LX5 and Samsung GX-10. Do a cursory survey of the Aperture discussion boards, and you will see lots of people with RAW support that used to work fine, but broke after a Camera RAW update. Apple is also slow to add support for new cameras. Besides that, Aperture 3 is slow, even on recent machines with 4GB RAM.

I own both, and miss the "Places" and "Faces" features from Aperture in LightRoom. But given Aperture's deficiencies, I use LightRoom 95% of the time.


Apple Remote Desktop (unlimited users) also got a huge discount. $499 to $79.


Aperture was US$ 199 before.


Still is if you want a box: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB957Z/A
