While the downloaded disk image sat on my desktop for over a week, I never actually touched it. Perhaps, you should give it a whirl? Chase - iPhoto has supported RAW since January of this year (if not January of last year, but I think 6.0 was the first RAW-compatible version). But, yeah, it doesn't allow much in terms of specific adjustments. For me, the organizational aspect is key, and I never post-process a photo unless I am getting it printed - very, very infrequently. Hopefully, Lightroom will be light on the wallet and enough customer hisses will be heard to drop the Photoshop tripe. Armen - I was highly recommended to try the Aperture trial when 1.5 came out.

Nik recommended Lightroom and I've been using it since beta 3. I think we have a complementary pair of experiences— I've never used iPhoto because it hasn't supported Camera Raw and doesn't offer the image manipulation/fine-tuning that I'm used to from analog darkroom processes. In any case, I'm glad iPhoto fufills your needs. I would rather use an internal Apple program that doesn't cost much and integrates nicely with OS X, versus a specialized third party solution to a niche problem. Maybe I'll give it another chance— if it's as facile as Lightroom is at so-called 'professional' editing, it might work for me.

On the other hand, I like what Aperture has to offer, but I think its heavy RAM requirements and co$t are what's drawing me back. I’ve had the same conflict of interest for some time now.
