Looking for input on how Aperture rates when compared to Adobe Photoshop

Hi i am kind of new to Mac and have not bought any good photo editing programs yet i am looking for someone that has used both aperture and photoshop to help me make my decision on which one to buy. any input would help. thanks in advance

as RB said before, *you can't compare photoshop and aperture*. not in functionality and not in price.
actually: *you really need both*. there is no way around photoshop. most of your image processing can be done with aperture (or lightroom), however there will always be some photos that require the extra ps power, layers, etc... for retouching, blending etc.
compare:
you should compare +apple aperture with adobe lightroom+ for your image management and raw conversion - and - +photoshop cs3 with photoshop elements+ for image editing.
most here prefer aperture, however this is a question of personal preference. i have both on my machine, and while i like the improvements in adobe lightroom 2, i personally stick with aperture (i prefer the workflow and user interface of aperture).

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

  • I updated to Mavericks and a bunch of my info deleted.  I tried opening a previous iDVD I made, but when I click on it, it says to look for themes.  How do I get my movie to work?  Thanks.

    I updated to Mavericks and a bunch of my info deleted.  I tried opening a previous iDVD I made, but when I click on it, it says to look for themes.  How do I get my movie to work?  Thanks.

    Did you do an erase and install of Mavericks?  If not look in the HD/Library/Application Support folder for an iDVD folder.  There should be a Themes folder in it. If it's not there look in your Home/Library/Applications Suport folder for the iDVD folder.
    NOTE: In Mavericks, 10.9,  the Home Library is invisible so go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring up this window:
    Select Show Library Folder.  Now you can check to see if the iDVD folder in there.
    If you find the iDVD folder launch iDVD, go to its Advanced preference pane and point iDVD to the Themes folder:
    If you can't find the Themes folder you'll need to reinstall iDVD from the source you installed it from originally, i.e. the disks that came with your Mac or an iLife 09 or 11 disk.

  • Looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free

    looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free or even paid will work.

    I thought that is what the big deal was that people did not know until they opened the box and started using the iPhone 5, that it not only worked with one carrier but several carriers.  I did not say it will work with any carrier at one time.  I was trying to find out the reason for this and why people were so surprised that the iPhone 5 had this function and the reason for it.  As stated in my post, is it there so that after your contract is up and you want to go to another carrier you do not have to purchase a new iPhone, you  cna purchase a SIM card that works with your new carrier.
    The Otterbox Defender has a tendency to let too much dirt, dust, etc. in the cracks on the case. At least this has been my expereince.  I was thinking something more along some of the really durable cases at BallisticCaseCo.com
    As far as the iPhone 5 having issues, I have heard that there were more than usual with the first couple of manufactured batches that were shipped.  For example the Map App by Apple, the scratches on the backside of hundreds of iPhones, etc.  I am hoping these will get to be less and less, but with the recent riot at the one plant in China where the iPhone 5 is assembled is supposed to increase the waiting time.

  • We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

    Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • How to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    how to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
    If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
    Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.

    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

    How to copy slide show from adobe photoshop elements 10 onto sd card for picture frame

      Do you mean a digital photo frame? If so You probably need jpeg files, PSE only outputs the slideshow as a wmv or PDF file. But you can use File >> Export As New
    Then make some copy jpegs and copy or drag them to the SD card.
