11/24/2011 posted here to preserve some comments I recently made about using Apple's Aperture software.
I want to talk about Apple's Aperture 3, which is only $79 in the Mac App Store
(It is still $199 in the Apple Online Store, Amazon, etc., and, it is the same program, just not delivered on physical media).
You can download and install it as many times as you like to all of your machines using the same Apple ID. That beats searching for a DVD.
All of Apple's newer software is now being delivered/sold only online, even the latest Lion OS X.
Normally I use only Lightroom for my image management and processing (with some Photoshop CS5 if needed), but since the introduction of iCloud from Apple recently with the iOS 5 and Lion OS X upgrades, and the iPhone 4S,
I find myself taking a lot of iPhone photos (8MP, HDR, HD Video, GPS geo-tagging), the quality of which has astounded me and many others.
The cool thing about iCloud is that as soon as you enter a WiFi zone, all the photos you've taken earlier are automatically uploaded into the cloud (Your Photo Stream in iCloud is a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos), and
then they are automatically downloaded into the "Photo Stream" of every Mac device you own running OS X Lion (iMAc, MacBooks, iMAcs, iPads, etc.), where they are then automatically archived permanently.
No longer do I need to remove an SDHC card from a point-and-shoot camera and import the photos into a computer, and then worry about syncing all my photos from my different machines into consistent libraries.
For this to work on OSX Lion (iMac, MacBooks...), however, one MUST use either Apple's iPhoto or Aperture program.
Now many of you know I hate iPhoto (it tries as hard as possible not to let you know where your photos are on your hard drive; makes duplicate copies with every edit, etc.).
So I was curious and looked at Aperture again even though I was biased against it.
I didn't like the $199 price, but when I found that Apple lowered the download price in the App store to $79,
I bought it and played with it.
You can learn about Aperture at

store.apple.com/us/product/MB957Z/A#overview
--- you too will be impressed with it's power... many professionals use it for high-end production projects.
So, bottom line is that I'm done with iPhoto.
All my iPhone photos are sent to my Aperture Application on my Macs automatically (and I'll also know exactly where they are on the hard drive).
I then have the option to further export/import between Lightroom and Aperture or Photoshop if I want to preserve my usual workflow, and prepare the iPhone photos the same way I do all my RAW Canon SLR images.
I may well not even bother using Lightroom treatment for many of my social iPhone photos, as Aperture cleans them up in seconds... and provides automated Flickr and such uploads.
I highly recommend Apple's Aperture as a vehicle for integrating your iPhone iCloud images into your existing Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop workflow.
And, many professionals find they prefer to use Aperture as their only image management/processing tool (it is nicely integrated into the Apple eco-system, using for example your Apple Contacts to aid in labeling faces in your images).
very impressive. Apple is doing a lot of things right.
I wonder when Canon and Nikon will catch up. 11/24/2011
