This cropped up a little while ago, I think Doug asserted that it's possible to use Aperture/iPhoto without importing (or what I call ingesting) the images into Aperture/iPhoto.
If that IS the case perhaps if Dough reads this he might elaborate? I have iPhoto and can't see how to do it use it without import.
I have LightRoom set to leave the image files in their set position in my folder structure, so it doesn't ingest the images. I still find the export procedure in Lr messy and inconvenient in comparison with 'Save As' from Photoshop. That currently is the main impediment to my using Lr more for processing.

I have used Doug's method but it is still a bit cumbersome and to be honest, I let it go by the wayside as Not Worth It since the older versions of aperture just werren't up to photoshop standards. I pretty much feel the same about LR. My Problem is that I don't want to leave everything where it is
, I want my current month's images on my mac drive and then when the next month begins, I transfer the old month to external drives. The photoshop way just works way better for me. There are a couple of killer features to LR and a number of UI improvements over PS but it just isn't working for me as a simple straightforward system. For me it will mainly be a better way to make Blurb books Cheers,
Tom
