For digital photographers, particularly people shooting any sort of volume of RAW files you may find you need a better workflow for ‘development’ and organization of the photographs then simply storing the files on your file system and then opening a few at a time in Adobe Photoshop. Into that gap has come a few new applications including Apple’s Aperture. More recently, Adobe has finished work on its Lightroom application and moved it from a long public period to an official 1.0 release.
With that release two professional photographers and bloggers, Micah Walter and Michael Clark, have committed their time and expertise to putting both Aperture and Lightroom through the paces on a typical week or so of shooting and editing.
Both photographers have started posting their day to day thoughts after working with he applications, and the articles are both interesting and informative. Versions and Stacking, for example. Contrast that with posts like Aperture in Somalia, may be a little light on the details that feed your curiosity about the applications they are rich in story and images.
My own application of choice since the first time I used a beta has been Adobe Lightroom, but I have been planning on looking at both Aperture and Nikons own Capture NX before pulling the trigger on the 1.0 license.

Broke down and responded to my umpteenth invite for Twitter. You can find me at http://twitter.com/placenamehere
Also trying out one of many MySpace clones called Virb which offers the ability to customize CSS and some HTML markup inside the profile pages and is generally much nicer then other offerings. Its still in beta though and I’m out of invites, but if you happen to hang out there already you can catch me at, you guessed it, http://www.virb.com/placenamehere.

AHHHHHHH!!!
Looks like the update Textmate pushed yesterday changed (or jut broke) the way the editor handles XHTML vs. HTML and now all the tags I have it generate are being added in HTML fashion (eg. <img> vs. <img />). Before I think it just autodetected based on doctype (i dunno, I just never had to think of it before).
Help me change it back please.
(sorry for the whine, but I’ve got a pile of coding on my plate and no time to fiddle with stuff.. guess i shouldn’t have taken the update yesterday knowing the situation.. but silly me thought it was just a easter egg thing)

I was never a really passionate BBEdit user though it worked great and was my Mac editor of choice for a good while, but I have to say that I still found it a bit strange that my first reaction when hearing that BBEdit v8.5 was released was, well, a non-reaction.
I guess that’s as convincing a sign as any that I’ve completed the move to Textmate.
There are still a few things I prefer from my BBEdit days, in particular I think the search and replace interface is better, and Textmate like any other product is not without flaws—some of which I may run down in another post—but Textmate has otherwise won me over and makes me feel very comfortable.
A sampling of some recent photos, bookmarks and news stories I've flagged elsewhere with this tag.

Lightroom 1.2 and Camera Raw 4.2 are now available. Lightroom customers will receive an update notification through Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 users will be able to download the Camera Raw 4.2 update through the Adobe Update Manager.
After an initial leak last night while testing the servers, Adobe has officially released Lightroom 1.1 to the expectant public. The free download for all 1.0 customers is available from the Adobe website.
With all of the recent buzz about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and its release today, the big question is how it compares to Apple Aperture. In tandem with Micah Walter on the Inside Aperture website I will be conducting a comparison of the two programs and how they stack up for my workflow. Iâll just say upfront that my purpose is not to bash either of these pieces of software. They are both incredibly powerful and a cut above the rest of the RAW processing and image editing software programs on the market today.
