Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp!
I promise, this isn't another 'should I use iPhoto or Aperture or Lightroom to organise my photos' thread. But....I started out using iPhoto and didn't like it, so now I'm trying the Aperture 2 trial. But my photos seem to be all over the place on my computer, duplicates everywhere, I don't know where anything is, it's sheer CHAOS!
All I want is for my photos to be in one simple folder, not shared between apps, no libraries here there and everywhere, just nice and straightfoward.
I like the look of Aperture and would be happy enough to stop using iPhoto completely if it meant it was just me, that one simple folder and Aperture working with my pics. Nothing else. No duplicates. No importing from an iPhoto library to Aperture - just ONE location on my iMac where all my photos are stored!
Is there any kind soul out there who can guide me to the light at the end of the tunnel, if there is one? How do I achieve this blissful simplicity I'm craving?
Thanks.
