Hi,
I've been using Aperture as my raw converter and photo management/editing (+ a dab of Photoshop) for the last few years, and now that Apple are scrapping it looking at moving to either Lightroom or Capture One Pro, looking for advice/experience with the two.
Features I have liked with Aperture are that it makes it easy to import files, deals with the file management for me and smart albums makes it east to have albums of 'picks' for best photos/print photos from any album/all albums. The full screen mode is great for editing photos and making adjustments with the panels auto hiding. The noise reduction in the raw converter was pretty poor however and I did use ACR on an old copy of Photoshop for some photos as I did for extra editing/adjustments when the tools in aperture weren't sufficient (although I do prefer to stay just in aperture where possible).
I'll prob end up either getting the adobe lightroom+Photoshop subscription or the Capture One Pro subscription and if needed use my older copy of Photoshop.
I'm wanting to move from aperture now as I can only see apple dumbing is down with the new Photos App and don't want to add any more photos to aperture now I know I'm going to have to move.
Thanks
James
