I prefer Aperture (a lot) over lightroom and I've used V.3 of both applications. Its integrated into the Mac OS so well like changing brush sizes with gestures on the mouse pad and scrolling across the photos etc all work very smoothly. Everything from start to finish works well in aperture. I upload my RAW files straight to it when putting them on my computer and editing is very simple with mainly just sliders yet I've done very extensive edits using it. You'll also be amazed at how much shadow detail and lost highlights you can bring back using this software. Certain images I've edited in Aperture have been mistaken for HDR's as an example of how well you can unify the dynamic range of the photos your editing. As for photoshop that is a different comparison in my opinion and I'm using a software called Pixelmator for Mac which I love and recommend to everyone, give it a shot. There's just endless possibilities in a program like that where as aperture and lightroom you can't fiddle with layers and what not. But look up pixelmator for sure. Just like PS only simpler, way cheaper, and smoother on Mac, it has integrated controls as well. hope this helps
