Hey everyone. So I am about to start the process of installing an SSD as my boot/apps drive in my '08 Mac Pro and I had an Aperture 3 question. Let me give you some quick background first. I store about 95% of my photos in the Mac OS X Picture folder but with my own file structure. Then I direct Aperture to those photos and tell Aperture to keep the files intheir original location (wherever they fall in my structure). Then I proceed to edit my raw images by tweaking WB, curves, applying brushes, etc. I also tag the location and faces. I have an aperture file structure that contains my projects too.
My questions is this, when I install OS X and apertureon my new SSD boot drive, and then I tell OS X to put my home folder on another drive, will directing Aperture to it's library (that I backed up and put back in Pictures) and the pictures again which are in a new location save all my edits, tags, locations, project names, faces, etc?? Or do I have to go through the damn process again. Just as a note....if you tell me I haveto do it all over again I'm goig to gouge my eyes out in frustration!! Help please!
