Aperture vs Lightroom

Hi Joachim,



Maybe another alternative is fixing the way image looks in Lightroom by using input presets.

That is creating profile presets with these X-Rite colorchecker and having them applied to your camera files. I've found a few posts about this and it seemed rather convincing (A GH2 user [url="http://e-p1.net/micro-four-thirds-general-discussion/gh2-custom-raw-profile-%28color-checker-passport%29/"]http://e-p1.net/micr...er-passport%29/[/url] )



I'm a bit curious as to why you don't like your lightroom output (i'm generally very pleased with it, a lot more than Adobe interpretation of Canon colors) and wonder if it's not caused by mac+lightroom not giving you the same win+lightroom output, although unlikely.



I think I'd check out these aspects before dismissing lightroom output just yet, especially if you own it already.



Hope this helps,

Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,



Thanks for replying to my question. No there is nothing really wrong with lightroom, I just think that the colours from aperture are better to my liking. A bit like the old Kodak vs Fuji debate of the days when we were shooting slide films. As with this old debate, I am not fully sure about the accuracy of either of them <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />



No I don't have a proper Lightroom license. I downloaded a trial version and have a few days left on it. As I said I really like the interface, inparticular the implementation of curves.



What really bugs me about Lightroom is the printer driver. I have profiled my monitor with a spyder3 and am having a not so great match between monitor and prints. Typically way lighter on paper. Aperture has softproofing and that helps. Makes the process of choosing perceptual vs relative colorimetric more transparant. That was at least my impression while the trial lasted.



Best wishes

Joachim
enjoy
