Aperture vs. Lightroom: What do the pros use?

* 66.5% using the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in
* 23.6% using Lightroom
* 5.5% using Aperture

Im one of the 23.6% that use Lightroom. I used Aperture for a little bit and found it to be sluggish and totally worthless. Its a piece of crap. Lightroom is brilliant and I use it to do some minor digital-darkroom stuff, before doing the bulk of my post-processing in PhotoShop.

    I’m using Adobe Camera RAW plugin, but make sure that you are using the last version, that is available from Adobe website for free. The plugin that my CS2 has was crappy, but the new version kick ass. Now I do all my post-processing in the plugin, it’s fantastic.

    I use Aperture all the time now, mainly due to me using it from the start and really liking the workflow and management side.

    Lightroom to me was just, well too light :0)

    Daniel: I used Lightroom, before I started using Aperture… And now Im back to using Lightroom… The very latest version of Lightroom even puts PhotoShop to shame in some of its processing… Its worth another look if you havent used Lightroom in a while.

The Large Hadron Collider is just a few days from being switched on and some of the scientists have received death threats. Basically it is believed that the collider will finally tell us more about the Big Bang Theory and might actually create a new element. Some scientists have theorized that such collisions could cause a miniature black hole to form and obliterate the planet. Hah!

Today’s Weird Japanese News Story comes from the dirty world of murder crimes and Police Investigations: Police was frantically called to a murder investigation… After a complete day of panic and “police activity,” it was determined that the “victim” was in fact a sex-doll.

By mid-afternoon, the body was in the hands of police pathologists. But when they sliced open the wrapping, they were confronted not by a decomposing corpse, but by a life-sized sex doll. “Our guess is that the owner didn’t want to take a risk by throwing it away with the rest of his rubbish,” he said. “It was an incredibly irresponsible thing to do.”

Ya, who in their right mind throws away a perfectly good sex doll?

Thomas Friedman on how McCain went from being a champion of the environment to just another Big Oil candidate.

With his choice of Sarah Palin — the Alaska governor who has advocated drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and does not believe mankind is playing any role in climate change — for vice president, John McCain has completed his makeover from the greenest Republican to run for president to just another representative of big oil.

Now the choice is crystal clear: Obama is the only Green Candidate left.

Cindy McCain’s outfit at the RNC last night was $300,000! And they have the balls to call Obama an elitist! Fucking pathetic.

I know I make fun of McCain of being a grumpy old man but this interview is a perfect example. Do you remember your grand father or any old men, when they havent had their afternoon nap or tea get really cranky? Do you want that old man to be anywhere near a nuclear arsenal that can wipe out the entire world?

The VP’s 17-year daughter is pregnant. Now I wouldnt care about this as this is a personal matter - but this is significant because Palin believes that the only way we can curn teen pregnancy is to teach Abstinence-Only and not proper sex education to children. So clearly, she is right and we are all wrong. Another win for Abstinence-Only Sex Ed! Hi Five! All this is way too easy and way too much fun!
