Photogs: Those who take 'em and those who love 'em

Tsk! at you Dee...ya can't be that lazy. I aim to do as little as I can. I have actions in photoshop (which is now on my last iMac but one and not on this new one hence my desire for Aperture or similar) for certain levels of sharpness and saturation etc but that's it. Sometimes I've had to correct barrel distortion but only when using the 18-200...another reason I like fixed glass.

I came to love the discipline of self portraiture because I had to think how I might achieve the shot I wanted.

Have you tried Picasa? http://picasa.google.com/mac/

I have my Aperture disk and will mail a copy to you or anyone else who wants it... Can I copy it?

I did try picasa briefly but found I preferred Photoshop at the time. For real basic stuff I used to use Picnik.

I don't know how to make working copies of software discs. The same issue is there about legality of copyrighted material though.

That's what I thought, So I will just mail my disk to you.

I know Photoshop comes with multi licenses so I'm assuming that Aperture does too so that a purchaser can load onto a laptop and a desktop.
