Lightroom Vs. Aperture · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday February 20, 2007 @10:18PM from the snapshootout dept.

Nonu writes "Adobe has officially released its Aperture killer, Lightroom, and the reviews are starting to come in. Ars looks at Lightroom and concludes that it's a better choice for those without bleeding-edge hardware. 'Aperture's main drawback is still performance as it was designed for bleeding-edge machines. On a quad Core 2 Duo Xeon, it is very usable but Lightroom just feels faster for everything regardless of hardware. Since Aperture relies on Core Image and a fast video card to do its adjustments (RAW decoding is done by the CPU), it's limited to what the single 3-D card can do. Lightroom does everything with the CPU and so it is likely to gain more speed as multicore systems get faster.'"

With the money saved from darkroom supplies they can put that into the "New faster computer" piggy bank no?

Alternatively they can dump the brand name razors and clothes and save more. I recommend breaking yourself free from the "brand's" rip off and then you can afford more things you actually need and want.
