I finally broke down and bought Lightroom. I decided to give it a try because the workflow I had with Aperture was not working. I only used Aperture to organize images, so I’ll be the first to admit that I was not using Apeture to it’s full potential.
With Aperture, I was importing my images, exporting...

Lightroom vs. Aperture: The Saga Continues
A few months ago, I waxed philosophical over whether to stick with Aperture or switch to Lightroom. At the time, Apple had just released Aperture 2.0. I read really wonderful things about it. And I was not up to the task of trying to convert my Aperture library into one that would be accessible to...
Aperture Plug-Ins
I only have two plug-ins for Aperture 2.0: one that exports images directly to SmugMug, and one that exports images directly to Flickr. Man, have they made things easier. Since Aperture collapses everything into one library that cannot be accessed by other programs (at least I haven’t figured it out), I used to...
Illustrator and the Mighty Pen (Tool)

But all these action packs get me to thinking – how many do I need?...
Filter Frenzy
I remember when I thought Photoshop was the be all, end all. I was ecstatic when I finally wrangled and finagled the money to buy it. At last! The promised land!
And then I discovered plug-ins.
A lot of plug-ins. Apparently Photoshop was not the be all, end all. It was just...
To Lightroom or Not to Lightroom
I use Aperture to organize my photos. I bought the program when it first came out, so Lightroom was not on the scene. Now it is. And I’m debating whether to switch to Adobe’s photo management software or plunk down the money for Aperture 2.0.
I know that more people use Lightroom, but...
Back That Thang Up
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who . . . wait, scratch that.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who back up and those who will. I am sad to say that I had to learn...
