simus Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi, I am new to OSX and I am looking for some alternative (under 150/200$) similar to aperture or lightroom. It must also be able to organize/catalog photos. On windows platform I have used ACDSEE Pro (130$).What could I use on the OSX?

ellis_vener_photography Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If you are a student, Aperture is $159.00 and of course Lightroom is still free while it is in beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 iPhoto (free and already on the computer) and <a href="http://www.iview-multimedia.com/downloads/">iView Media Pro</a> ($199) jump to mind. <p> As Ellis said, Aperture and Lightroom are also good options (I use the former).

simus Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Thank you for your suggestion, Aperture is what I wish to have, but I read many review in which it is said that only most powerrful machines with dual processor can work flawless.

basscheffers Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 What Mac are you on Antonio? I use an old 1.8GHz G5 Powermac and Aperture works just fine for me. Sure, if I were a pro and working with it many hours a week, I'd like something faster. But if you have a G5 processor and a graphics card that is supported, you should be fine. I always try before I buy and "evaluation" copies are easy to find on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricklavoie Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Dont bother using Aperture with your machine...not even close to be fast enough to drive it. Use Iview Media Pro is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
