I'm a pretty hardcore Lightroom user, but I figured I'd take a crack at processing photos with the latest version of Aperture. I really like the color tones and the amount of fine tune control I get. I'm also really digging the full-screen UI and adjustment HUD. No need to worry about which module I'm in. Tethered shooting is a *huge* plus.

 

However, overall performance isn't so hot on my 2-year-old MacBook. There's noticeable lag when I get deep into editing. Lightroom is way faster with the same types of processing. Also, in order to use the Dodge and Burn editing tools, Aperture creates a new TIFF or PSD. Lightroom just stacks adjustment brush edits on top of the master file. Considering how much I use adjustment brushes, this might be a deal-breaker.

 

I'll play around with it some more over the next few days and see how I feel. Right now, I'm kind of split on it.
