Apple's Aperture now supports MM & M imports :)

? In LR5 equally possible in my view

 

Possibly true, but I find that when I use LR I have to darken the screen to about halfway (using a MacBookPro) and then adjust exposure or brightness in LR for the print to match the screen. Yes, the screen is calibrated, and I use proper printer profiles. People often complain about the brightness of Mac screens, but I find with Aperture I simply print and the output matches the screen. It might just be that Apple are using some of the same undocumented system hooks that Windows was famous for in its early days, giving their software an unfair advantage. Otherwise I like using LR, and agree it is more powerful than Aperture in terms of possible adjustments. Then again, if Adobe make it part of the 'Creative Cloud' I would hate that and would have to get rid of it completely.

That's pretty interesting Chris. I print from the ImagePrint application, which is quite wysiwyg with a calibrated monitor, so print matching to screen is not a problem. But when I compared the image's appearance in LightRoom it is, as you say, brighter. I then compared the appearance of a Monochrom file opened in the current versions of Capture One, Aperture and Lightroom. There are some differences.
