No worries on venting Keith. Since I'm learning still about raw conversion, what does LR do better than Aperture? Can you process raw with LR and then move them directly to Aperture?

At the moment I'm frustrated that Apple hasn't released raw compatability for the new canon 6D. I had a weekend of playing with the new rig, and I can't get them imported directly to Aperture. I have to go to DPP.
