Some of you take yourselves a bit too seriously I think. Maybe instead of raving about yourselves and what you know, why not try providing useful information in a non-threatening manner that may help someone vs. cut someone down.. Being rude does not make you a better artist, just a snobby mean human being.

Editorguy:

How do you move your Aperture photos into Photoshop and then back again? I would prefer to store my images in Aperture (I have Aperture 2); edit in Photoshop CS4; then re-store in Aperture 2.

Your review is ridiculous. I am a professional photographer and I have been using Aperture ever since it was first released. It is a a fully professional image editing application every bit as good as Adobe Lightroom, especially with the new features in version 3. I have used Lightroom as well, and it is also a great application, but I have chosen to go with Aperture. As the previous comment states (nrphoto), Aperture does not replace photoshop, but should be used along with photoshop. I have Aperture set up so that I can take an image to photoshop for specific types of manipulation that are better done there than in Aperture. When I save the image in Photoshop it is updated back in Aperture. Aperture is an application meant to handle large numbers of images that require quick adjustments, while Photoshop is not meant to be used this way. Go back to playing with your point and shoot camera and stop pretending you know anything about professional photography.

What in the world are you talking about?

“Aperture 3 is the software equivalent of an entry level DSLR camera—not quite professional quality, but much more enticing than your average point-and-shoot.”

That is the most ignorant thing I’ve read in quite awhile. Aperture isn’t meant to replace photoshop. It serves a completely different purpose in the workflow, and it is an incredibly capable application at doing what it was designed to do.
