Well, for one thing, LR runs on Windows. Can't run Aperture on a PC without first hacking Mac's OS (illegally). Mr. Ziser would be alienating a large portion of his audience if he wrote only about how to do the things he does in Aperture.<br /><br />Perhaps the biggest question is, why Lightroom, and not Adobe Capture Raw (ACR)? ACR is included in PS, and the current version of ACR supposedly does everything that LR does in it's develop module. So, since none of the other features are being used in Mr. Ziser's tutorials, why is he making such a fuss over LR compared to ACR?Arved Grasshttp://www.i-do-photography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-9069800009655962362009-12-19T11:22:19.886-05:002009-12-19T11:22:19.886-05:00Grrrreat video David.

I just have to tell you that I have become quite addicted to your post and your courses over at KelbyTraining. I had a wedding last weekend and got myself energized by watching your latest course while I was getting ready. It was the first time I got a chance to use all the techniques I have been learning through you with off camera flash, and it really took my photography to the next level. Thanks so much for giving so much of yourself and your time to help us reach our full potential as photographers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-76267991881580554582009-03-19T12:11:00.000-04:002009-03-19T12:11:00.000-04:00Another excellent tutorial to really expand the to...Another excellent tutorial to really expand the tools that we are already using.

I'm relatively new to photography, so my library wasnt that big. I decided to give lightroom a try for a week or so and I just never switched back.<BR/><BR/>Dont get me wrong, Aperture is a good application. I dont really see one that's better than the other. In truth, I find them both pretty equal. One of the pros to aperture is supposed to be the fact that there are modules, but I don't that as much. Also, it stores all your photos in a one single "package" library file. There are ways to get into it, but I like the way adobe handles the files better. I use photoshop too so the integration with the other adobe products is nice. I also prefer Adobes adjustment controls and setup, but I'm sure you'll find just as many who prefer aperture. Preference really. Plus, the adjustment brush in Lightroom is 10 times better than anything Aperture offers.<BR/><BR/>My recommendation to you is not to switch if you have a rather large library of photos. You wont find it all that better from lightroom, just a little different. Not worth the hassle really.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>PS - Great tutorial David. Goes to show how far the software has come. We really have less and less to do in the actual studio thanks to products like Lightroom.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678518780037826683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-69234326784122864242009-03-19T10:31:00.000-04:002009-03-19T10:31:00.000-04:00Thank you David for sharing your wealth of knowled...Thank you David for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us.
