I'm sure this gets asked alot, so sorry if this is just flooding the forums!
I've been looking into getting Aperture for a month or two now, still trying to work out if it'll be overkill for my needs. I'd classify myself as a prosumer; I took photography for A-level, and try and do a lot of it. Previously I was using a Fuji s7000 rather than a full dSLR, and at the moment am left with a very consumery fuji Z1, but I'm aiming to have enough saved up for a Nikon d50 by christmas.
I've used RAW format before, and would definitley be trying to shoot in RAW+JPEG as often as possible. Even without RAW I quite often edit levels, saturation and colour balances, and just having using the trial of aperture I'd like the option of editing exposure/white balance for some photos.
So, considering I'd be using aperture with the RAW format, a nikon d50 and probably using it for projects frequently though not on a daily basis would you say I'm going to need the software? I can get it at a nice educational discount at £90 ($170) which is another factor.
thanks,
