Aperture 3 anyone?

[welly]

Hey guys,

Anyone using Aperture 3? I'm probably going to download the trial but wanted some opinions from anyone who might be using it. How's it compare with Lightroom?

I'm using it and enjoying it. I'm not that experienced at PP stuff yet so won't comment too much on that side of things, except that being non-destructive is good for a novice like me so I can revert to the master when I lose my way a bit. Early versions of 3 did not seem that stable, but it's up to 3.0.3 now and that's running really stable for me. I tried both Lightroom and Aperture and I find I enjoy the "Apple-ish" interface of Aperture, as well as managed libraries and book-making, which is a step up from the same service in iPhoto. Full screen mode with the adjustment HUD is great to use also.

Certainly worth a download and try! I'm running a 2 year old iMac with 4g RAM and it runs sweet on that.

Hope that's of some help.
