OK so I fired up the 30 day demo to try it out and I have a question.
I told it to import my iPhoto library - and it did - took a while as the library has over 10,500 images. I noticed it is was a CPU intensive process.
Using an iMac 2.4 Ghz / 3 Gig Ram
First Question: What does Aperture do/creat with each iPhoto image it imports?
I have an iPhoto Library in the neighborhood of 53 Gigs.
I checked the size of the Aperture Library and it was around 136 Gig.
What clued me in to this was the amount of Free Space on my main HDD and my Time Machine drive.
Second Question: If I decide to adopt Aperture and use all the iPhoto Library file would there be any reason to keep iPhoto and its; library? (thinking about disk space wasted )
Just curious.
Thanks
