Several readers commenting in Mike's blog The Online Photographer have asked about a comparison between Lightroom, Aperture and Lightzone. I'm up to the challenge with some caveats. First: I have a day job and young family so this won't be quick. Second my image editing abilities are a bit weak - I really struggle with deciding whether many changes I can make are improvements - especially wrt colour. I only have direct access to Lightroom - since the Mac I expected to buy used wasn't available for sale in the end. Finally Lightzone appears to be focused on developing the image - not managing your photos, so the comparison will be between Lightroom's Develop module and Lightzone. If you want to help out leave me a comment or email me (Thanks to Jim and Ed for their offers of help).
