Great episode! I am currently in the process of switching over to Aperture, and so it was really helpful to step back and think about workflows a little bit.
One of the questions I have is with regard to Elements. I have Pixelmator, and while I like it, I haven’t quite been able to wrap my brain around how it interfaces with the pictures. What would Elements offer that Pixelmator (or Aperture for that matter) doesn’t?
Thanks again for the show.

Loved the episode since I’m myself challenged with having 50.000+ photos from the last 7 years of digital camera ownership.
It made me try out iPhoto again especially for the photosharing but I gave up again when i saw how bad iPhoto still is for importing photos from disk (I.e. It can’t just pickup new photos and even with hazel import trick I’m getting an event per imported photo not just an event per folder)
Thus I’m back again to the only software that seem to exist that scales from small to superlarge collections: Picasa from google.
It automatically scans folders for updates (even those jailed inside your iphoto library), it has tight integration with picasaweb web albums, has functionallity similar to places and faces and it got good basic editing tools
Too.
Actually surprised you did Not mention picasa on the show
Thanks for another great episode. I wish you would have gone deeper into Lightroom. Anyone serious about their photos should definitely evaluate it. I think it is the best product on the market for professional photographers.
