I couldn’t help thinking to the multitudes who, at the times, debated the best camera, the best lens, the best developer and the best paper process ( which I am sure HCB and Gassman used) and secretly ( because if you said this openly they would flame you) chuckle. The pictures were, as always, stunning as images but not at all all that sharp as one would have thought or supposed. I remember many years ago when I lived in London I went to see a nice exhibition of original prints ( made by the great alchemist of the darkroom Pierre Gassman ) of the work of Henri Cartier Bresson. I understand that these matters are, of course, of the outmost importance in the long and dark winter nights spent in front of the computer screen processing pictures. Sometimes it seems to me that at some point the only macroscopic difference is the microscopig visibility of thin hairs being split in eight parts lengthwise by us debating things like this. However Iridient Developer and Capture one pro() seem to have an edge over Aperture.īu then again how far does one want to go?

I too like Aperture which is one of the main reasons for me not to upgrade to El Capitan which would erase Aperture ( and doesn’t even inform you of that before you do it as it previously happened with Yosemite which is incompatible with Acrobat and erased it) but I have seen tests where there seems to be a definite advantage over even the latest version of LR. I was discussing this yesterday with a friend of mine. IMO Apple Aperture (discontinued) or RAW Therapee (free) deliver even better results and are visually better than LR and the Fuji jpg regarding fine detail.
