I'd been using Aperture for 2 years, and I like the image quality processed by it it and the simple but powerful user interface. However, I found it's very slow and I thought it was because of the below standard spec of my Macbook (2GB ram on board), until one of my friend on Facebook suggested Lightroom to me.
I have big hesitation switching to Lightroom, because I have over 70K images stored on an external HDD. I can import all the master images, but I cannot transfer the keywords and alternations I did with Aperture. Nevertheless, the Aperture just hung too much and I decided to import all image with Lightroom first, and see how it goes.
Surprisingly, the Lightroom import the images much faster than Aperture. Trying out LR for a few hours, I found it's much faster than Aperture in ALL operations. The only thing I missed in Aperture 3 is the preset color tuning such as toy camera... but I can save my own sets of processing as user presets, so not a big deal.
I would miss Aperture anymore.
