Length What It Offers RAW Support OS Support Rating
$299 30 days Powerful image-correction tools and a suite of complete import, edit, and
export steps could make this your primary image application. It even has
a clone brush to clean camera dust. Photoshop CS3, you’re on notice.
$299 30 days Aperture’s Mac-friendly interface breezes through imports, comparisons,
corrections, and exports. Smart Albums feature automatically
sorts new photos by metadata and keywords.
$130 30 days Like an international buffet, Pro 2 is cluttered and disorganized but still
offers tasty morsels if you know where to snack. Editing tools are on
par with other apps, but impatient users should dine elsewhere.
Free Eternal This glossy program welcomes beginners with clear, simple commands.
(And experts will be surprised by its vast RAW support.) It’s free, but
you pay by giving up more complex photo-tuning tools.
$299 60 days Formerly iView MediaPro, this app was bought and renamed by Microsoft.
Lacks obvious features like the ability to see a catalog of filmstrips
in editing mode. It just doesn’t stack up to the competition.
