Hi,
I know there are plenty of entries in other forums, but I didn't see anything here. There is a reason why I ask here where I know people best.
Recently got an imac (moving over from windows) and am looking into imaging software. I had an aperture trial, now expired and still have a few days left on a light room trial. Still find it hard to make up my mind. The real cost seems the human cost: learning interfaces, converting/re-creating catalogs. I prefer out-of the box colours from the mac-software (also the simple i-photo seems to give great colours from Oly-files). Though the interface of lightroom seems cleaner (perhaps I am just used to the Adobe way of doing stuff). I essentially used both pieces of software as raw editors, haven't explored much else, e.g. image managment. Not having soft-proving in LR seems a big bug-bear to me (I print a quite a few inkjet images).
Most of my current files are from an Oly E-P1. I have Canon S45 raw files, which are unfortunately unsupported in Aperture <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Any idea about mixed workflows, it might be an idea to get a recent PSE10 license to have S45 capabilities.
Thanks in advance
Joachim
