One reason why I wanted to get Aperture was in hopes of no longer having a complex folder system for my images, which number over 10,000 and range from small JPGs to large RAW files. Therefore, I simply want to organize and display images in Aperture by keywords, not folders etc.
However, as I'm reading the Aperture help, I'm seeing all this stuff about projects, albums, and folders. Is it possible to simply have all my images appear in Aperture, in one main library, without any kind of sorting structure other than by keyword?
I guess what I'm really wondering is if this idea is practical; I'm concerned Aperture will bog down with such a massive amount of images being displayed, but maybe this won't be the case.
If this idea is practical, do I set up one library and import all my images into it, i.e. how do I set this up? By the way, I want to refer to my "masters" in another location, not actually import them into the Aperture library.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
