Apple Aperture 2.1.1 Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: I tried others and chose Aperture
Comment: I tried Lightroom 2, Capture NX and Aperture. They are all very good programs but I chose Aperture because of it's ease of use and intuitive user interface. I'm able to make some striking images and repair images that would seem to be a lost cause. The huge number of 3rd party plugins is just a bonus.

Summary: It's not Photoshop but it is VERY good...
Comment: Aperture 2.1.1 is Apple's considerable step up from iPhoto that lets hobbyists do much more in the way of digital editing. Having used (and dismissed) Aperture 1.0, this new version was a welcome and overdue improvement. Aperture operates very similarly to iPhoto -- it has a library, projects, folders, etc and has all the Mac ease of use. Creating slide shows and books are flawless and simple.
The greatest ease of use, however, is in mid-level photo editing. One can handle workflow in a completely manual format or can rely on Aperture's impressive auto editing options. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. However, for the experienced Photoshop user or anyone needing to do serious photo manipulation and detailed editing -- especially those functions involving masking and color filtering -- they will find Aperture to be a little light on abilities. To be fair, this is not the intended use of this program. It is intended for the competent hobbyist wanting to do more than remove red-eyes but is not wanting to open and learn (or re-learn) Photoshop for the two or three times a year he or she might need it.
This is a good, inexpensive program and for most tasks I have used it for, is more robust and easier to use than either Elements or Nikon Capture.

Summary: Best photo program ever
Comment: Aperture 2 is the best editing program ever. It blows Adobe Lightroom away. Apple went to the top photographers of the world asked them what they would like to see in editing software and Aperture 2 was created. If you are a PC owner this product alone is worth switching to an Apple computer. I did partly because of it.
