OK, I just ordered my iMac finally yesterday... I currently use LR2.3 on my PC and will use it to PP my shots. But I'm liking some of the features iphoto has, specifically for my wife... Is there a way to have both LR and iPhoto have the images in their respective libraries easily? And I don't want to have the files on the machine twice....
but, for instance, can I import with LR2, then tell iPhoto to import images from a specific location (wherever LR2 put them) into it's library, but just add the info to it's library, no actually copy the file? Also, can iPhoto deal with RAWs? Or the other way around, can iPhoto import the images, then have LR2 import them into it's library from that location?
I'm pretty sure LR2 can import photos from a different location (I've done it on a PC w/o duplicating the images) so that should work on the mac.... But will iPhoto open RAW files? 5Dii RAWs to be specific...
TIA
