I've been researching Aperature [I don't have full Photoshop] - it 
does some of what PS does but not all -- it is mainly a 
post-production program.  It takes RAW files and does not edit them, 
instead edits what you see on screen and leaves the files alone....it 
also helps organize images.  I gather it would pair well with PS [or 
in my case PSE] and PS would be needed for fine work, filters 
etc...but Aperature would be good for accessing and basic 
manipulation and storage of the image....
