Working with Aperture 3 is an absolute bliss. Thre I said it, deal with it. A lot of people do not like parts of Aperture and one of the gripes with the older version was that even though you deleted the photo, the associated thumbnails etc. in the database did not get deleted. They didn’t get displayed either anymore, because you DID delete the photo, but it kept the thumbnails and minis in the library, JUST in case you re-import 
So how does Aperture 3 deal with this?
In this latest installment of the Aperture 3 file management guide, we will look closer at metadata, keywords and why you should use them. These are difficult concepts for newcomers as the benefits are not immediately apparent, especially if you have traditionally worked with folders to organize your data.
I got a lot of reader feedback very shortly after the last article was published (Part 2: Importing!) since there seems to be a lot of confusion about file referencing and what it actually means. This article, named part 2.5: File Referencing, is meant as an addition to the Aperture File Management series but as a supplement and not really as a standalone part as it only contains information, not a a tutorial.
Working with any Digital Asset Management Platform (DAMP) like Aperture 3, Lightroom 3 and others is, in my opinion, a one way street. The problem is also as you fill your database with photos, it becomes more difficult to make changes retroactively. Because of this, it is best to set up your DAMP the way you want from the very beginning. Since I chose Aperture 3 I will go through the power of Aperture in any respect over a four part article. This is part 2: Importing. Essentially we will go through all the presets you can set in order to automate importing and organizing your Photo library in the best way.
