Hello everyone,
I recently purchased Aperture 3 but I am unsure on how to proceed in terms of importing my iPhoto library into the program and I was wondering if any of you could give me some advice in this regard.
I have around 5,000 photos in my iPhoto library, but I probably wouldn't be interested in editing the great majority of them, as I got into photography only recently, when I bought a DSLR camera. I therefore don't know if I should clean up my iPhoto library first, then import all of the photos onto Aperture, or whether I could just import the few events I'd like to work on in terms of editing.
Would it be a good idea to use Aperture exclusively for my DSLR photography and to use iPhoto for iPhone/compact camera pictures that I am not interested in editing in the future?
My questions will probably sound silly to the great majority of you, but I'd still like to keep on using iPhoto as a program to organise my photos, while making use of Aperture's editing power but I'm a bit unsure on how to do this, or wether it is something really worth doing after all.
Thank you in advance.
