Long time lurker here who's finally going to leave Aperture.
So here’s another question about how to make C1 more like Aperture. My issue has to do with how to simply import and catalog images. I am a long time hobbyist and have used either iPhoto or Aperture since switching to digital in the late 90s. I tried LR from time to time but always came back to Apple products. Mostly vacations, family events and some more photography focused events. My workflow is simply to import images of an event or trip into Aperture which then simply lets you name that project. I then will go through the pictures and create an album of keepers for slide shows or for printing which I can again simply name. It is easy to find various albums or projects at any time. This is such an easy task on Aperture and seems so complex on C1. I’ve watched the tutorials, read the blogs, etc but the complexity and number of options seem overwhelming. I’ve gone back and forth between Catalogs and Sessions—I suspect Catalogs is the right choice. I realize that C1 is geared for folks who make their living doing photography but suspect I am missing something simple in terms of the import and cataloging of images. I am very happy with the image editing of the photos in C1 and do not really want to change. I’ve never warmed up to LR so that is not an option for me. Also, the price of C1 is right for a Sony user.
Any help or guidance appreciated. Thanks.
