[QUOTE="Peakoverload, post: 344785, member: 27271"] I don't follow the reasoning for jumping to either Lightroom or Aperture? You shoot RAW and have Elements which has ACR so why do you need another RAW processor? It's fair enough if you want another RAW processor or that you really find ACR too limiting or that you really need much better file management but I can't really think of one thing that you can do in Lightroom/Aperture that you can't already do in ACR & Elements in terms of actual RAW processing/pixel editing. If your heart is set on buying one of these then I think the sensible choice is probably Lightworks because its cheaper, easier to use and has Adobe behind it but that's not to say it's the right choice. I personally can't see the justification of either program at their current prices beyond it just being a case of someone just liking using the software and are prepared to pay for it or a pro who needs the kind of cataloguing and file management that these programs offer. It's frustrating because I really like both programs but there is no way I'd pay the money they are asking for them when Photoshop/Elements, ACR and Bridge do all I need and I would think do all that is needed for the vast majority of non pro's out there.
