Wednesday November 30, 2005 Am I on the bandwagon or am I out in front about to get run over?
I got a shipping notification from apple...only after I had already seen the ups, "you need to sign for this" note on the door.
If they had sent it three hours earlier, I would have come home early to receive it.
Capture ONE LE, did almost everything I think I want but not all at the same time
~$120
Capture ONE PRO, better but I had some trouble trying to get it to do what I wanted even though it should be supported. (multiple sessions, multiple settings at once on an image)
~$590
Aperture, looks like it does basically everything I want and more, hopefully it isn't too slow on my not quite supported powerbook
$499 ( $249 go student discount)
The price is right, Aperture wins even thought I am drinking the apple kool-aide buying a product that I have only ever seen in demo videos probably running on the biggest baddest fastest quad G5s with 16GB of RAM and an X-serve RAID array behind it.
