Aperture vs Lightroom ???
I have the beta of Lightroom and I am well impressed with what it does. What I don't like about it is that I see my HD space is shrinking for each time I load up new images. It seems to import in to it and when I export the doctored images out I'm creating a new copy of it.
Aperture seems to catalogue everything in a better way, at least when reading up about it.
Any indications yet on how much Lightroom will cost?
Can't decide if I should stick with it for now or move over to Aperture right away.
Those of you who have experience from both apps, please respond.

I only have a PC (<1 month old at that). The latest demo is crap on my PC - slow, unstable. Not worth it

mrs alect loves Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) for RAW processing and then finishes up in Photoshop. She's on PC so she uses ACDSee Pro for organization - not sure that it's available for Mac.
She tried Lightroom and yes it does take up a lot of space for not doing much - ie didn't do anything that the other apps she has don't already do.
YMMV.

And the verdict is.......
Lightroom.
A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of a Trial dowanload of aperture on the apple site. So I D/Ld it, installed it, imported 3000+ pics in it (took two hours) and after half a day sat there processing thumbnails and previews I played with it for just about five minutes and then chucked it off the hard drive.
Lightroom has the tools intuitively set in your face and there isn't really much need to go through manuals.
Aperture - I couldn't find the blooming tools to start with. And when I did, they weren't as easy to use.
So, Lightroom wins with miles to spare.
