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

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.

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.
