What software to view images after capture??

[B&B]

Hello Guys,

For all those event photographers I was wondering what application you use while capturing you photos. I have another event coming up and my clients really liked the fact that they could look at the images while I was capturing them on my big screen.

Problem: I'm using the canon software for this, I really dislike it. Not the best thing.

Solution: ?????

Is there a better application for this. By the way, I'm on a MAC.

Thanks for any input.

teathered Lightroom 3.x or ExpressDigital

I use Aperture and it works well for me.
I've never used tethered to the camera.

Thanks guys, I actually use Lightroom 2.0. Haven't upgraded yet because I heard it is so much slower than 2.0, and with my work Flow I need speed. Have you found this to be true or is it not so bad? And would I need to upgrade to get tethered lightroom??

[B&B]

OK, I think I may just go ahead and upgrade, I just read all the details on the Adobe site. Thanks guys.

That's smart. LR is a great product.

Aperture 3 for 95% of my post processing and Photoshop CS5 for specialty work.

if you have CS5, why not just use RAW for your post processing? There's not much difference between the two.

True, there isn't a whole bunch of difference in RAW processing, but....I purchased Aperture 3 initially as a digital asset management program, along with the ability to produce books, etc.

Since then I've found that it is highly effective for almost all of the post-procesing I do. I'm using PS CS5 for special effects and such, and for editing that Aperture doen't have the capabilities to do.

I use Picasa for first viewing to sort out the good from the bad ones. It lets you run a full screen size slideshow and you can mark ("star") the images you want to keep.


Edit: Sorry, I didn't read the original question very well. Forget what I've said.

Run HDMI to an LCD TV. ;)

I use folders named by date and subject then Adobe Bridge in Photoshop CS4 for organizing, culling, processing (via Camera Raw). I only enter Photoshop to do detailed touch-ups, almost only on images already purchased, rarely on proofs. I also use Bridge for showing photos during the sales session.

I think it's well worth it. The process 2010 and NR and vastly improved.

Yes, tethered LR3, another reason to upgrade. I like it much better than tethered with Canon DPP
