I am looking to get an iMac soon and I have been looking at some options for managing my photos.
I have a load of pictures - most of them taken with an old digital camera or on an iPhone or my Galaxy S II.
I want to properly categorise them and also do some touching up of the images. I am very much a beginner on this side of things. My needs I think are fairly simple.
1 ) I want to be able to do basic editing. Remove redeye, airbrush blemishes that sort of things. I also want to be able to do some corrective work with lighting - ideally though in a 1 click solution.
2) I want to be able to manage my picture collection and generate slide shows that can be shared with non Mac users.
3 ) I want to be able to manage my pictures which will be stored on a Windows Home Server running HP Microserver.
I have been thinking about getting Aperture - only because the price is very good. Is that overkill?
