Aperture vs Photoshop

[Live_free]

Aperture is better, MUCH MUCH better, for editing photos. While photoshop is better for creating things. I have both.

I wanted to bump this thread to ask about how Aperture compares to iPhoto. I iPhoto essentially a stripped-down version of Aperture -- that is, mainly workflow, organization, and basic editing?

I use iPhoto exclusively but would like to graduate to something that would give me a little more control of organizing my photos as well as editing them. Would Aperture be the answer? Does it provide much more in terms of editing? I'm not a pro and frankly I feel like Photoshop would intimidate me a little bit.

Let's say that Iphoto was a 1982 honda accord, comparatively aperture 2 would be a 2010 lamborghini murcielago.
