I wonder about how Aperture's handling of Camera Raw compares to the breadth
of adjustments offered by Adobe Camera Raw. From the screen shots of
Aperture on the Apple site it seems that the options are not quite as many
and/or as extensive. But they may be. It's just not clear to me yet.
Also -- not to be the usual negative old me -- there may be the expected tad
of "manna-from-heaven" hype associated with its introduction, in that image
handling is not just sorting, color balancing and resizing (though these are
of great importance, and it's likely that Aperture is very adept at them),
but also masking, content editing and retouching, none of which Aperture may
be fit to handle. (Don't sell your copy of Photoshop quite yet!)
But I haven't yet seen or used this software in the cyberflesh. Maybe Andrew
Rodney or other list participants have had a "close encounter" and would
care to share more pertinent comments?
Thank you.
