When I bought my first mac back in 2007, Aperture had already been out for almost a year and a half. I had just started playing around with Lightroom on my PC before the switch since I have been a long time Photoshop user but decided to use a trial version of Aperture to give it a shot. In all honesty, I couldn’t figure it out. Maybe it was my familiarity with Photoshop but Lightroom just made sense. I was able to navigate intuitively around Lightroom and with little searching, was able to find what I needed to edit my photos. Of course, a long the way, my workflow has developed into something far more complicated and advanced compared to how I previously used the software but I never really gave Aperture a chance after that. Over the years, I’ve opened it up occasionally, imported a photo and fooled around but I never really did much after that. That may change now…
