If the "end result" would count (that's how I interprete "bottom line") then Adobe would now be unlucky. I think, most are so used to stay in the now only catalog + converter software around because the transition would harm their work in the past. I don't know how I would have decide, if Apple had offered a rental model of Aperture.


Sure, all of those who manage their files in a traditional way and are used to a ton of more clicks than LR / Aperture does with certain clicks - they all do not know the difference between Libraries and traditional file management. What I don't know, I will not miss.

Just an off topic:

I use the traditional way, no libraries, never used lightroom because I didn't like the libraries and I am glad I didn't.

One of my supposed dead hard drives with plenty of photos for which I have no backup just came back to life I have no explanation, I am happily retrieving the pictures.
