Calling experts of Aperture.
I know there are a lot of threads on how slow people find Aperture 3. I am finding this too, more so since I have changed my workflow. I used to use Aperture just for organising, and would only use ACR mostly since Aperture 2 didn't support my RAW files.
Anyway, I now feel I should really take advantage of Apertures non-destructive editing. So since using Aperture more I notice how much slower it is for me than ACR.
I have read that when working at 100% it has to load the RAW file, I assume because the preview is not normally full size. My question then is if I make it so previews are not limited, will it then use a jpeg to show me how the edit is going, and would this speed up the time since the jpeg will be smaller in overall file size compared to the RAW?
I have also done a few things to improve on speeds, such as reduce project sizes etc. I only have 4GB of RAM, would 8GB really make a lot of difference?
Any help greatly appreciated
