Apple Aperture

Apple Aperture

I regularly receive emails asking me questions about Apple Aperture:

  • How to do this Aperture?
  • Why not also give Aperture tip?
  • Why not switch to Apple Aperture since it's modeless and so much better.
  • Why not switch to Apple Aperture since it has so many more plug-ins.
  • ...

I use Lightroom because:

  1. I don't have a Mac, I have PCs.
  2. Apple Aperture only runs on Macs.
  3. Now I rarely use Photoshop, because Lightroom does so much, including local adjustments and brushes.
  4. Lightroom even does layers1.
  5. It's my decision. I like Lightroom, it does 90+% of what I need.

Don't ever try to change somebody else decision:

  1. Most of the time, you will not succeed, you will have wasted a lot of time.
  2. Even if you do change their decision, they will regret it because the "grass is always greener..."
  3. If this is a customer, it will not be a long-term customer.
 

1 Not as layers themselves, but by doing the local adjustment and erasing some of it. ↑
