Thanks again Martin; you answered my question perfectly. I'm all for keeping things as simple as possible and don't want to feel that photography is work, so I'll stick to Aperture and the great filing system it offers.

Good information, thanks. I expect to be shortly shooting in RAW and wonder if I couldn't use NX2 Capture and export TIFFs to Aperture 3 like you are doing with light room?
Thanks again, Bill
Thanks again, Bill

Martin,
Hate to bother you again but I'm in a quandry. Aperture 3.3 require Lion and I'm not certain I want to do that. Should I get the new operating system or maybe just download a more recent version of Aperture than 3.2.4 if that's an option.
Would you expect Aperture 4.0 then to require Lion?
Thanks again,
Bill

Thanks for the info. Martin. I'm downloading 3.3 now (over 1 hour!). Aside from IR, what advantages do you find PSE 10 gives you over Aperture 3? Have you heard any G2 on Aperture 4?
Have you tried any of the HDR apps? I think there is a free one on the Apple site, but have heard that Photomatrix is the best.
You can re-size in Aperture by using the crop tool.

Thanks Martin,
That's useful information. I have Aperture 3; what is the update you're referring to and how do I download it?
By the way, I can recommend the Apple Pro Training Series for leaning the program: www.peachpit.com.

Interesting story. I have been using my friends Canon equipment when I want to do a serious shoot, but it weighs about 20 pounds. This is insane, so the jury is still out on my next system. I like the smaller bodies, like 4/3s, but don't like the electronic finders, so I think I'll continue to wait hoping for a compact body with an optical finder and two "do it all" zooms.

I am an advanced amateur using Aperture 3 software on my iMac and am reasonably happy with the results and the filing system, on-line books, etc. What would I gain by switching to a more feature intensive program like Lightroom, Photoshop or Elements considering the costs and learning curve intrinsic in these programs?

I carried these four lenses for years and seldom felt I needed anything else: 24mm f2.8, 50mm 1.4, 80-200 f4 and a 7 element macro attachment making the 50 a 100mm f2 macro.

I am looking to have a few dozen of my best 35mm slides scanned (mostly Kodachrome and Fuji Velvia) and need to locate a high quality service. Any recommendations?

On the big island, one of the highlights of my recent trip was the Hawaiian Botanical Park. It's an incredible photo op for both macro and landscape photography.
Aloha and welcome to Onomea Bay and the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden! This "Garden in a Valley on the Ocean" is located off of Highway 19 on the lush Hamakua Coast's 4 Mile Scenic Drive, 8 1/2 miles north of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Aloha,
Bill

Thanks for bearing out my suspicion that it would cost two stops. I believe your observation on the affect on close up field of view is also correct.
Thanks.
Thanks.
