I haven't tried either. I am in the process of downloading the free 30 day Aperture trial.

Are there any mac users that swear by one vs the other.

I stink at PS CS (8.0) let alone CS5 which I havent touched.

I generally just use iphoto, so I'm thinking that Aperture may be the route I go.

Any feedback?

It's a personal choice, really. Both have 30-day trials available. Try them both out and decide which one you like better. LR3 is currently in beta.

LR for me only because I have a PC (I like to build my machines ... hopefully new monster this year) and I've never used Aperture (so it could be equally as good).

any mac users that have used both? recently have been chatting with a mac user that worked with ap 1 & 2, got frustrated, went over to LR and recently switched back to Ap3... this is what he had to say:

Here are a few thoughts around Aperture 3 and why I dig it

- RAW interpretation

It would have been interesting to see C1 in the poll. Albeit is not a popular app among mainstream shooters.
