When Adobe announced LightRoom shortly after, it stole most of my
attention.
Much of this was due to the hefty hardware requirements of Aperture
when
compared to LightRoom, but it also had a lot to do with my comfort
level
about avenues of support for Adobe products vs. Apple products. If
I have a
problem or question about doing something in an Adobe app, I know of a
couple of quick places I can go and have a very good chance of
arriving at a
solution.
Over 10 years ago there was a Mac-only alternative to Photoshop.
It ran very efficiently on what were then relatively slow processors,
allowing one to work with very large image files in "real time"
rather than making the user wait for slow screen redraws & file
operations.
It had layers. It had masks. It was even ColorSync-aware, before
Photoshop got out of the monitor color-space trap it suffered from
early on.
At first you couldn't even print from it, you had to "build out" a
TIF file or other format and bring that into some other app.
Early on a single license cost over $3,000 but the price came down,
in time.
Many users expected to work with it like Photoshop, which was there
first, but it didn't. So it died.
I'm sure there are a few folks here who remember what this app was
called besides me.
