Aperture is all you'll need.

Lightroom 4 and Pixelmator. PM is very cheap, and does most of what PSE does, very very well. Available on the App Store.

photoshop in which you can edit both raw and jpeg. Lightroom is also good but only if you can afford both.

Ditto. Lightroom only 98% of the time.
It's also worth checking out Raw Photo Processor for its film emulations and quality RAW conversion - and it's donation ware.

Hi Nick
You can deactivate it and if you have the disc (sometimes they come with windows + mac disc) then you can put it on your new Mac. If you don't have the Mac disc, I believe you can contact Adobe and have the licence swapped from Windows to Mac...
I use PSE 8 and have recently picked up LR3 which I'm getting to grips with.

The fact you have a Mac is irrelevant as the same software for photo editing tends to be available for Mac and PC. The main exception being Apple's own Aperture.
It is not like other software (i.e. games, product stuff etc,.) that is never made for Mac and is a bit frustrating but them it is a much smaller market.
Mac's tend to be used by "visual" people so you will find most things are available in that field.
I have tried Lightroom, PSE 8 and Aperture and for ease of use I liked Aperture as it is more Appley (but I have used Apple for over 10 years so may explain that!)
I do however feel that Lightroom does more though so if I had just come from Windows and was used to having to use unintuitive software I would pick Lightroom
What software did you like on Windows?

IMO LR4>A3>LR3.
Rarely use "Photoshop" but I have PSE10 for whenever I need it.

It depends on the version but download the demo version for the OS you want and use the serial number you have. If the serial number is OS specific then contact Adobe as they allow a swap from one OS to another once at no charge.
