Ap3 is an improvement but it's still a dog. On my iMac Lr is quite happy, Ap3 though, is a recalcitrant snail. VERY disappointing. Lr3 it is!! What a difference a test drive makes!!!

On my iMac Lr is quite happy, Ap3 though, is a recalcitrant snail.

Aperture has a really nice Highlights & Shadows advanced panel. It reminds me some third party plugins and HDR applications. When it comes to black and white editing... that H&S advanced feature is amazing. Greetings from Mexico City. I just found your blog by looking de vs challenge between this two app.

I've never used Lr, Aperture 2 rocked even with some issues but Aperture 3 is more than i've ever wanted. I’m totally with Aperture 3, it’s an awesome app and work flawlessly.

That was just the tip of the iceberg though!! I looked at all the info for Lr3, the videos with Kost and so on. I was hoping they'd improve it more substantially than they did, but it just seemed like a ho-hum update. We'll see how Ap3 stacks up. Thanks AJ!!!

Now is not a good time making switching decisions as we will probably see LR 3 soon enough. A.J, don’t forget to note that LR 3 is coming soon too, probably adding a bit on top of the beta.

One of the first things I did after install. I'll be running Aperture 3 through its paces shortly.

For me, Lr is a hideous app, with a clumsy module approach, tiny light grey over dark grey buttons and hidden panes popping out whenever my mouse moved too close to an edge. However, Lr totally thrashed Ap so I sucked it up and went with it the best app. Now Apple has leveled the playing field. (-big grin-) I'm shooting a wedding this weekend, guess what I'm going to use to process the shoot… Sorry Kost.

If he was, why would he post 5 mins later, if you have a 10 dollar head then by a 10 dollar helmet? This argument has nothing to do with money. It has to do with someone who thinks they can walk over anyone they please if they don't think the same as him. He doesn't even try to see where someone is coming from in their thinking. Does he go, I see what your thinking but here is the flaw in that. Or even, I don't agree with that and here is why? No, he goes on the defense and attacks people, tries to belittle, bully, or insults them into submission. You call this the actions of a professional trainer? And even though he has lost followers and stuff over this. Has he learned any lesson at all? No, he will not even take responsibilities for his action. Instead he blogs that we are lazy and untalented. How would he know? The man has never ever seen my work. Nor does he know anything of my work ethics. I was told just a couple of hours ago he is now calling us liars in his twitter feed even though I have proof of what he has said. He represent his self and his writing in a false way. He knows nothing of my work ethics or my work. Yet he writes as if he has study it and it didn't come up to scratch? As for severing up fries. Well, I have been a manager at both Micky D's and Hardees. It is honest hard work and I am not ashamed of that. My point to all this? He is still attacking people, he is still insulting people and calling them names like he is in 3rd grade. But more importantly he is skipping right around the real issue of how mentally abusive he is to others. I don’t believe Scott was joking at all.

AJ very well said! (The following is generalized because there are more people involved in these behaviors than Mr. Bourne alone... who is a prime target for public ridicule because he is so publicly/widely known) (REPEAT! This is not directed at any one person, it is highly generalized and I am not pointing any fingers, just pointing out a few thoughts as topic of discussion. :) ) When someone attacks behind closed doors, then blocks you so you can't respond, makes me want to call *intentional foul*. Redirect of attention from the "Real" problem doesn't solve the "Real" issue. Getting defensive and lashing out, also makes me want to scream *you brought this on yourself*. If everyone stood up and took a little responsibility for their actions instead of playing *cover it up*, people wouldn't get so bent on private behavior that is contradictory to a persons public behavior. I personally was flamed by several individuals over something that I had claimed full responsibility for, my fault, *so-n-so* were great, *so-n-so* does great things for this community, I apologized to everyone whom I may have offended and "said" people and their followers still called names and made threats against me in DM's. When I see this kind of blatant bad behavior, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It all leaves me with the question: "If it was all jokingly/sarcastic, then why have all traces from these feeds been cleared?" No matter what is going on right now, I feel that in the end we all need to be accountable and take responsibility for our own actions, because look at the impact "we" (one individual) can have on so many people. Just a few thoughts. BINGO! AJ very well said!
