[DM-MUG] Aperture .v Photoshop

[Alan Maupin]

A quote from the Apple Aperture Webpage.

 


"Round-trip Photoshop support.  Aperture lets you launch directly into Adobe
Photoshop with a single-click. There, you can take advantage of Photoshop's
strong compositing and layer effects, and when you're done making
modifications, simply save the file. Your modified image will automatically
be added to your Aperture library as a version of the original file, where
you can manage it easily in a Project or Album. "


I can't help but wonder why a photographic program (Aperture) would
advertise the benefits of using another sepererate photographic program
(Adobe Photoshop), and especially a program (Aperture) listing for $500.
This quote seems to be telling us that Photoshop is the benchmark graphical
image manipulation program.  And this begs the question; why do we need
Aperture?  For $500 I would expect Aperture to at least attempt to compete
with Photoshop, not glorify the benefit of Photoshop instead.

 Turns out you can only read the RAW images from the bundled software - for
Windows only.

 

RAW is very special and prized.... it's what Aperature works with and is
probably overkill for a college student and an <$200 camera.... iPhoto
evidently won't work with RAW either = maybe Graphic Converter will???  For
myself, the idea of getting Aperature looks better and better....
