Aperture being very specifically a pro app there are lots of differences, the handling of RAW images being the most noteworthy. Personally I suggest folks use iPhoto until a) they start shooting RAW capture or b) they find they want to do something iPhoto cannot do.


All users IMO should also become conversant with a specific image editing app like GIMP or Pixelmator.
