[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1642587, member: 331386"] I can Help you there. I am trained as a black and white photographer. And i use aperture and even pixelmator and iPhoto. What i recommend honestly is to setup using WD my passport drives you can get a nice 2 TB for around 149.00 you can easily buy two of these and do some great management for your photo collection. I am from the old school methods myself and what i do is really great for any photo program. Steps for setup: Format both of the new hard drives Create folders on the drive: /aperture /iphoto /originals /modified /finals Aperture: Would be where you keep your aperture library. Iphoto: Would be where you keep your iPhoto library. Original's: Would be where you would download the photo's to from your camera these are unmodified files also known as originals. Modified: In this folder you copy the same pictures from your camera to this folder serves as a edit version folder this means you can modify the files anyway you want and you save back to this folder and then you can import the pictures into aperture for more advance options.and if you screw up you can copy the file again from originals. Finals: this is where you can store your final pieces of photography Art This simple method works for most and can be modded for any use including making music movies and games as well. [/QUOTE]
