Aperture 2+photoshop?

[treebeard]

just got a new macbook pro, and im starting to get into photography. i know that aperture isn't an editing program but is a pretty solid organizational program, at least compared to iPhoto. so should i get both aperture and photoshop, or say screw aperture and just go with PS?

just get them both for free off the interwbz

but to help you out aperture is way way better than iphoto

i had aperture 2 for a while...i hated it
then i got lightroom which is teh secks, you get full hands on photoshop editing so all you need Ps for is pixel pushing and stuff like that. lightroom basically takes aperture and multiplies it by 10000
lightroom Ps combo is awesome

Lightroom instead. I used to love aperture, then I got Lightroom and it blows the original Aperture out of the water. (I have no experience with 2)

2 is pretty much the same
i had aperture and thought it was awesome. then i saw lightroom and i was ashamed i ever used aperture

i'm pretty baffled by numerous posts in this thread, ha. aperture IS an editing program. you must not have delved very deep into it if you got the impression it wasn't. chase jarvis edits with aperture.. google him if you're not familiar with his work. he fucking slays.

and i'm a former user of lightroom 2 and i fucking hated it. i made the switch to aperture and never, ever looked back. it is way better than lightroom for me. there's really no right or wrong tho. find whatever works for you and run with it.
