The number of websites and blogs seemingly doing battle with all their “5 reasons with Aperture is best”, “5 reasons to switch to Lightroom” etc etc seem to be growing by the day, what’s amusing is that a lot of the people re-tweeting these links and passing on these links probably haven’t used both bits of software and even if they have the reasons for switching or staying are usually very personal, to this end I’ve put a very tongue in cheek list of reasons why you should choose one over the other: Reasons to choose Lightroom

1) Lightroom has less vowels in its name so must be more cool and professional 2) Lightroom is made by adobe and they are very cool!

3) Lightroom is an anagram of “Moo L Girth” who’s is a famous cow photographer! 4) Lightroom can develop your photos before you’ve even taken them its so much faster

5) Lightroom is better because I can’t get Aperture to run on my 1999 pentium 3 laptop
Reasons to choose Aperture

1) Aperture must be better because it has more vowels which means its name is easier so therefore its software must be better 2) Using Aperture is one of your 5 a day fruit and vegetables because its made by Apple!

3) Aperture is an anagram of “U pear tre” so it contains apples and pears 4) Every Aperture disc is sprinkled with unicorn dust by Steve Jobs himself

5) Aperture works better with my camera because that has an Aperture as well
The real thing to do is to choose whichever piece of software you prefer and works better for you it is as simple as that, read the right ups, and then download both demos and have a play with them. Pick which everyone is more enjoyable to use.
