My workflow consist in download the images from the camera, create a folder named by what's in, then divide in Negraw folder and PrintFolder. Uselly I organise from bridge and process in PS.
I like do it that way as I know what's goin on.
I did try lightroom, and as iphoto, the "import" process create another folder with duplicate images. That does take another hard drive space.
So I was on my way to not use it anymore.
I tried aperture to see if it worked another way.
It seems that it does the same.
Am I wrong or is there any way to edit the pics, directly from the folder they already are... without creating another tons of folder.
