Advertisement Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Hi AAG, Take a look here Lightroom 3 or Aperture?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Walt Calahan Posted June 19, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2010 Either will do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dseelig Posted June 19, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2010 There are some situaitions where Lr3 smokes Aperture 3 in low light. Download trials of both and see for your images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bman Posted June 19, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 19, 2010 Both are equally competent. If you intent to continue with the iPhoto, the Aperture have an iPhoto browser under the File>import menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Calahan Posted June 19, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 19, 2010 I've changed my mind. Since Lightroom 3 is free to those who buy an M9. Get Lightroom. Lightroom is free. this from a Leica webbpage. Leica Camera AG - Photography - M9 WORKFLOW Included with the LEICA M9, is a license for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, a professional digital workflow solution available for both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. The software is a free download for LEICA M9 customers, to guarantee that the most current version is always available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted June 20, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 20, 2010 Purchased an M9 a few weeks ago & currently use iphoto - I want/need something better - thoughts? Well, light room comes fro with an M9 and that being the case, there's certainly no reason to put down good money for Aperture. Both are very good and it boils down to personal preference. I like Lightroom's file management a lot better. - Vikas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bman Posted June 20, 2010 Share #7 Posted June 20, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Of course. But may be worthwhile to wait for LR3 from Leica. You may want the trial version from Adobe directly first. In my other post, I mentioned that Aperture does not work for me and I had just migrated to LR. It could be only in my circumstances or my installation, since I have not found others mentioned about how slow Aperture is. If someone would like to share their experience (speed) of A3, I would much appreciate it. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Aperture on my office computer (don't use it that much for photography but I wanted to try it out). I transferred and imported almost all my pictures but speed was not really a problem I noticed. I just liked the Lightroom paradigm better and decided to stay with it.

stunsworth Posted June 20, 2010 Share #9 Posted June 20, 2010 Since Lightroom 3 is free to those who buy an M9. Get Lightroom. Not at this point in time it isn't. That may change for new purchasers, but I'd be surprised if everyone who has already registered their M9 was offered a free upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
