So i've had my macbook for about a year and a half now, and my D60 for about 10 months and i've been using iPhoto to store all my pictures. iPhoto seemed to be fine for keeping all my pics and when i wanted do some serious editing i use Photoshop or Aperture. If i just want to do some really quick editing i usually just do it in iPhoto though. I started shooting in RAW only about 3 months ago and it wasn't until today when i realized that even if slide the contrast bar 1 spot the photo goes from being 8 or 9 MB to 3 or 4. The photo still says .NEF under it but it seems to be same size as all of the .jpg's i've taken.
Managing my pics through iPhoto is nice and easy, and because i'm a beginner thats what i chose to start out with. So I guess what i'm trying to ask is whats the best way to manage pictures on a mac when shooting in RAW? Aperture seems great and I wouldn't mind switching all my photos into it but from what i've read online it seems lots of people keep some photos in iPhoto and some in Aperture which i really don't want to do because i like to have all my pictures in 1 spot. Lightroom also seems like a pretty good option but i've heard transferring your iphoto library into Lightroom is a pain but I haven't really looked into it too much.
So NS, what is the best way to store/edit RAW and .jpg photos on a mac?
