If you have questions\/violent reactions with regards to these points, feel free to IM me.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If you&#8217;re working with files on a NAS (i.e. not directly attached to the computer), use Lightroom&#8230; period.<\/li>\n<li>Lightroom manages libraries better. It&#8217;s almost like iTunes the way it manages folders\/files (which ironically, Aperture fails at). Again, there are so many aspects to this argument but trust me, Lightroom kicks Aperture&#8217;s ass in this area.<\/li>\n<li>While you&#8217;re mileage may vary on the effects\/algorithms\/features; personally, I&#8217;d have to say the <strong>only<\/strong> thing Aperture has that&#8217;s better than Lightroom is its vignetting algorithm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It&#8217;s a shame really, since Apple started with one hell of a head-start in this arena.
