First question: Which is more user friendly? I am playing with Aperture 3 with the 30 day free download and will download the other 30 day trial soon, but just curious what your thoughts were on this?
Will one outperform the other?
Thoughts?

Hmmm, aren't these 2 completely different programs? Sure, there's some overlap between the 2 programs. I think people typically use Aperture (or Lightroom) to organize their thousands of photos and do *quick* adjustments to their photos.
People typically use Photoshop Elements (or Photoshop) for more detailed work on *individual* photos. You can certainly do post-processing adjustments to your photos using Photoshop Elements, but you can do a whole lot more detailed editing to your photos using Photoshop Elements.
People typically own both Aperture (or Lightroom) and Photoshop Elements (or Photoshop). You typically do a great majority (90-95%?) of your photo organizing and post-processing in Aperture / Lightroom. For a handful of photos that you want to do more work on, you typically use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
I'm not sure which one will "outperform" the other, especially since they are such different programs. What performance measure were you looking to compare?
What are your needs? Image editing? RAW processing? Image mangament? Image creation?
Mostly editing and management. I do shoot in RAW most of the time these days.

Thank you.
I found my registration number for Photoshop Elements 6 that came with my scanner at Christmas. I had never downloaded it before and thought I had lost it.
But it is only for PC as far as I can see. So, I think that will go on my PC and I will purchase Aperture 3.
We will see how far those get me.

We're multi platformed in the house still and have a multitude of graphics and photo software for both, and I've found there really isn't much difference between the two platforms when you're working within something like Photoshop. At least not now. Fifteen years ago there was a huge gap, but it's long since closed.
PSE is a scaled down version of Photoshop. It's the home user where Photoshop is pro. Lightroom is a different animal altogether and is a lot more than image management software. Where as Aperture has always felt like iPhoto on steroids to me. And Bridge just blows for many reasons. IMO.
I don't know if they still do it or not, but Adobe used to allow you to switch opperating systems with the same software for free, you might check it out.
I seem to be designated the camera expert at work. Everyone comes to me with issues!!
A coworker brought in his camera and memory card and told me he didn't know why the pics took so long to load on his computer and why they look different. I quickly found out that he was taking them in the TIFF format instead of jpeg. For some reason his bridge camera has the option of TIFF, jpeg fine and jpeg normal. I changed the settings for him, but he has a whole memory card full of TIFF files that he wants jpegs.
How do I convert a large number of pics to jpeg in elements or is there something else I could use? I know how to convert a single picture in elements but would rather not have to do it one by one.
