I have to say, Photoshop has a lot of uses other than just for editing photos. Aperture seems to be targeting the photography market, it says it right there at the top of the page, "designed for professional photographers." I don't see it edging in on Photoshop's market for illustration, web graphics, or image processing for print production.


Feel free to debate the software, but keep out the personal attacks, thanks...

 

^ +1 well put.

 

Yes, it's true the PS issue is one of those never-ending debates (though mxs is right in saying that it can't be surpassed in its ability to do just about anything graphic-related), but you've got your facts muddled up in the whole CPU debate.

Jobs never tested a dual AMD X2 system against a dual G5, because the dual and quad-CPU motherboards weren't available yet, and the results wouldn't even be funny. That's a nice link you put up there, but it says absolutely nothing of value, except that new Macs are faster than old Macs. In reality, a top-of-the-line X2 system runs 2 or even 4 dual-core 2.8 GHz CPUs simultaneously, each with a front-side bus speed of 1.8 GHz and up to 16 GB of RAM per CPU. None of those numbers are even touchable by a PowerMac. Period

 

alright, i've seen enuff.

leave dca alone. yeah, he's a whiner, but even stevie wonder can see that. he likes macs. you guys don't.

macs rool at video, graphics and ease of use.

peecees rool at 3d, gaming and downloading viruses. lol.

photoshop? it's expensive on both.

but when it boils down to it, this is probably one of the most useless threads evAr...

 

Hope you're not talking about me, 'cuz I've been using Macs since I was 5!

if this thread was actually useless, I would have deleted it... but if anyone has actually USED Aperture, I'd like to hear about it.

 

it just came out, so i doubt it.

I've used macs for more than 10 years, as well as peecees, and macs definitely rool.

I hate peecees with a passion, but I can't escape them in my line of work...

 

i hope to get it in the next few months so ill be sure to let you guys know how it goes. noones really gonna know till then so as of now im still using PS

 

Ah, hypocrisy. Where would we be without it?

 

in canadia?
