Aperture vs. iPhoto ’05
On the right is an image that I originally edited in iPhoto. On the left is the same image edited through Aperture. I don’t believe I cropped the photo in iPhoto, but both images had a slight bump to saturation. Probably the key difference is that Aperture allowed me to highlight the blowouts — the overexposed areas — within the photo and adjust accordingly.
I’m looking forward to playing with iPhoto ’06. I will likely end up exporting photos from Aperture into iPhoto ’06 to take advantage of the whole iLife integration.
This is, of course, a completely random sample from which not very much of a conclusion can be drawn.
