Do you buy these apps on Macs, or do you just download them? Never had one before, so not sure if it's like an iPhone, or something bizarre.

runs well on macs

Worth it for flux alone I think.. pdf editor will come in handy too..

I started with Aperture never again... sticking to lightroom 4 life bru

Defs +1 Aperture over Lightroom for me too. Great app.

haha, apple products

i hope i get aids before i think apple products are a worthwhile and fiscally sensible purchase

loving the cock gets me halfway to be able to purchase apple products!?

Well if you require teh aids to do so.... Personally I purchase mine aids free :D

you're the reason apple has aids?

same. I took one look at aperture and thought it was pox, discovered my LR key worked on windows and mac, bob's your uncle, father, brother and mother. Ap just seems to simple to me, almost like those "professional digital photo editing" programs you get with digital cameras that allow you to do nothing more than auto correct exposure and colour balance, along with a little bit of manual adjustments and some cropping. Is there some kind of advanced mode I missed? I did only look at it for a minute or two (already had LR).

Plus it's nice being able to have the exact same export presets on both my windows pc and my mac so never mind which device I plug my memory stick into I can export piccies and have them look exactly the same.

seemed slow and would toss its library sometimes

I've only had LR3 drop the library once after my most recent format, but some other apps have also dropped some settings and just tonight 1 of my disks dropped from the array so I'm not ready to blame LR for it just yet. LR2 never dropped anything.

This is jmr on jimbo's computer

What about having seperate libraries on different drives?

i.e. If she has a MBA with a 128GB drive, and fills that up, can you define another library on an external drive or something?

MBA is an awesome and cunt of a machine all in one

Also OWC has that 240GB upgrade SSD drive going for about 500 odd

When I formatted recently I just installed lightroom 3, double clicked on my lightroom catalog and hey presto it opened and all my photos were there. I assume you could have different catalogs on different drives and instead of opening LR directly, double click on that particular catalog? I've never tried it, don't know if it would try to merge the 2nd one you try to open with the first one though.

Why not just buy a 1TB external drive and store all her documents & crap on that or something? Importing RAW (or converting to DNG) files for the higher megapixel cameras also takes up a lot of room if you're like me and keep every photo you ever took.
