Aperture vs. Photosop

[scrutiny1]

What are the biggest differences of the two? I know that aperture is more for orginization but you can edit also. Do they have the same tools or not?

Thanks

photoshop is a piece of software to edit and manipulate images (which has in some versions the capability of akwardly importing RAW data)

Aperture is a piece of software (like Adobe Lightroom, Bibble, Breeze Browser, Phase One) to organize and "develop/adjust" your Raw files ... basically a RAW converter with a chance to optimise your workflow. So it is aiming at something completely different than Photoshop.

Since I shoot RAW only, all my images are processed through the RAW converter ("developed in the darkroom"), but only few of the resulting JPEGs get serious photoshop-editing afterwards.

they have not. some features are similar though. at least if you compare with the raw converting features of photoshop.
