Every time a new version Aperture or LightRoom gets released/announced you always have a big flurry of 'which application should I choose?' posts on all the digital photography forums, and the release of the LR2 beta has been no exception.

I was surprised to see the results of a survey conducted by Info Trends and posted on the blog of Adobe’s own John Nack. The survey, (which I wasn’t able to find at the InfoTrends website) claims that out of...

Adobe Lightroom (excuse me, "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom") has some features I'd really like to have in Aperture, such as the Recovery slider, which lets me do highlight recovery without affecting the midtones and shadows in an image, and the Vibrancy...

After spending a week comparing Aperture and Lightroom I realized something; I need to get my archive organized. Ever since I started using Aperture, about a year ago, I have been paying special attention to how I organize my work....

First let me start by saying how much fun I have had on this project. I really was overwhelmed by all the comments and discussions that ensued after each post. I hope we can keep it going. So, last week...
