After describing how he shot the recent Lunar eclipse, photographer Marty German also explains how he processed his RAW images: ?I used my Aperture 2 trial software to process the three shots. Thanks to Derrick Story?s, Aperture 2: New Features tutorial on lynda.com, it took only a couple of minutes for me to adjust each shot, fine tuning exposures, boosting contrast and reducing color noise.? German adds that, in his estimation, ?the raw converter in Aperture 2 is as good as NX?s and both NX and Aperture produce noticeably better Nikon raw conversions than ACR does.?
