Doesn't really matter anyway.

I have a new IMac heading to me in about a week, this will be my first Mac computer but not first apple product (iphone 5, ipad 2) I have used them before so that's not an issue.
My issue is that I only had maybe 2 weeks playing with Lightroom 4 on my windows computer and I was wondering what people's thoughts are on aperture for Mac or should I stick to Lightroom?

the main advantage of aperture is it seems to be a little bit cheaper but other than that I'm not too aware of the differences.

Cheers for any help you can provide. ]]> Clark http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?120659-New-imac-comming-my-way-and-a-couple-of-Qs http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?120534-Is-it-worth-having-two-SSD-for-Lightroom-catalouge-cache-files&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 02:54:25 GMT SSD drives are vastly faster than HDD drives, and many people put their programs and OS onto a modern machine build.

Is there any benefit in terms of speed/wear and tear in having two SSD drives; so that the OS drive has Lightroom on it, and the second SSD drives has catalouge/scratch disks on it.

Is there any benefit doing two SSD drives, one solely for cache/catalouge, or is it just better to have everything stored on the OS SSD? ]]> wideangle http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?120534-Is-it-worth-having-two-SSD-for-Lightroom-catalouge-cache-files
