Sorry to have expressed myself badly, but I knew all those things. The point
that I was trying to make was that the previews are all available in your
application's browser as soon as the image files are imported (virtually
imported, the files can remain in their locations). The advantages of
LR/Aperture are that you then have an instant view of your previews,
effectively converted Raw files (or any other fomat, of course). It removes
the need for a separate place for the converted files.
And you can batch process in LR/Aperture as well, applying individual
adjustments to groups of shots, together or singly.
Finally, Develop (Adjustments in Aperture) is merely a place to effect the
changes that you might want to the converted file, using the preview to
illustrate those changes.
