Getting a new 27inch Mac. What software would you get?

[Biggs88]

Hello all. I am finally upgrading to a mac. Im getting the 27inch! Can't wait!

LOL

I have Lightroom 3.

My budget will allow for either Elements 10 or Aperture 3.

I am leaning towards Elements 10. What say you all?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a 2010 model brand new at very low price. Love it.

There is no reason to get Aperture 3 if you already have and use LIghtroom 3.

* Monitor calibrator
* VirtualBox (You can run virtualized Linux and Windows.. just in case) free.
* Wacom pen tablet

I personally waited off on photoshop (I have an outdated version) because 90% of what I do is in Lightroom 3. Check out GIMP. free too.

The first software I got for my Mac was Windows 7 ) I hate the Mac OS, not mentioning that when I tried to work with it, mouse gone all crazy and was just flying around the screen like it was in between two magnets..But congratz anyway, cant say anything negative about Macs HW

Half bragging, half trying to figure out what to put on my baby! lol

I here RAVE reviews about apples editing software, but nearly nothing about elements.

I want elements, just making sure it's the right first move. My wallet is going to be lite for a few months while paying this sucker off. Dont want to get the wrong program!! lol
