I'm planning to ingest, rename files and batch caption with Photomechanic and process RAW with aperture anyone have workflow tips or info resource suggestions for adding Aperture to my workflow?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Save yourself a step. Keeping Photo Mechanic might come in handy for pre-selecting tagged photos on large takes, as Aperture doesn't recognize in-camera tagging. But besides that, keeping PM in your workflow would be redundant.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I use Aperture for editing and archiving. I use Photomechanic for going through large numbers of images, fast. I usually browse from the card in PM, then copy the selects and and import them into Aperture library for editing. Then I ingest with PM. Afterwards, import the rest of the take only as referenced files. This is a good system if you have limitted internal hard drive space and can't have a balooning Aperture library with everything in it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I then go through the folder on the desktop quickly getting rid of the junk, missed shots, anything obviously wrong shots. I take what is left and import those into Aperture for batch editing. If I do not need to caption any further I will either FTP them from Aperture or upload them to Photoshelter from Aperture, or if I do need to caption more and I have code replacement files, I will export the files out of Aperture and caption in PM, then FTP or send the images from PhotoMechanic. If Aperture got into code replacement, and did not have a library that balloons, I would not use PhotoMechanic at all.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
