Apple Aperture 3 Work Flow

Keith,
what would be the destructive stuff? Could it be avoided with different camera defaults in the RAW fine tuning Boost, Hue Boost, and also the Black point compensation? Or is there more?

thanks,

I have taken those all the way down they don't really help. The problem I'm having with photos of LED lights with hot spots takes a bunch of contrast, black point, highlight and shadow manipulation.

The aggravating thing is, the images look normal while Aperture is 'processing" them and when it's done all the colors fill in in the hot spots. This is is really exaggerated with the color purple. Aperture really can't handle purple.
