Regarding Lightroom vs Photoshop Elements, we’re talking about apps with different purposes. Lightroom (and by extension, Aperture) are photography WORKFLOW apps with reasonable photo editing tools while Photoshop (Elements) is a serious photo editing app with little workflow features. For this reason, both Lightroom and Aperture make it easy for the photographer to hop out to Photoshop as needed. To get full coverage, you’d use both (Lightroom | Aperture) and (Photoshop | Photoshop Elements).
I’ve only tinkered with Aperture at an Apple Store, but was pretty impressed with what I saw. I’ve never toyed with Lightroom. I believe both apps have a downloadable trial. Give them a whirl!
