I'm not really sure you can compare Aperture to Photoshop.
I'd personally recommend Capture One by Phase One for processing RAW files.

....Glad to see it's Mac compatible!
What about Adobe's Lightroom? - It's bundled free with the Leica X1:

Well I guess in professional terms no, as aperture doesnt do everything photshop will, but I am currently comparing and deciding which best suits my needs for amateur corrections, and so far photoshop isnt winning as its too un-intuitive. I had my first 10 minute play with CS5 last night and it isnt even obvious how to increase the image size to fit the screen, something even iphoto does with a single click..... :fighting2:

Yeah, Lightroom is excellent - it's what our in-house photograph swears by.
Photoshop has grown to be (and has been for longer than I remember to be honest) far more than just a image editor. I'd certainly never choose it for that sole purpose. There are three programmes already mentioned here that are far more suitable.
Beauty of Capture One is that you can shoot straight to the software, so it's great for studio work. It's also very intuitive, and actually quite cheap.

I obviously dont want to get this thread off topic from RR camera discussion, but it looks like capture One is designed for RAW images is this true or are they just advertising it as dealing with RAW? Andrew you seem to have a professional experience I dont have an SLR (Lumix TZ8) and want to be able to correct and enhance photos, what would you run on a MAC thats going to be intuitive but still have all the features?

....It's all good information as far as I'm concerned and options for using RAW is very relevant to camera choices. :happy2: Please continue..
