Layout Tool Disguised as Aperture's Book Making Function
Aperture 2.1 includes a more versatile book-making tool than we saw
in earlier versions. So powerful in fact, that calling it a book making tool is really selling it short. It's actually a flexible
layout application with some very useful output options. In this
podcast, Derrick Story talks with Joe Schorr and tries to uncover all
the hidden gems buried in Aperture 2.1. Read Layout Tool Disguised as Aperture's Book Making Function.

Round-tripping is when you take a picture that's in your Aperture library and adjust it in an external image editor, then return the changed version to your library. Most people assume that Photoshop will be the editor of choice, but Ben Long has been working with Nikon's Capture NX, and he has some interesting ideas about round-tripping with NX instead. In this latest edition of Inside Aperture, we also talk about highlight recovery and lots of other tidbits. (Inside Aperture, Feb. 2, 2007: 22 minutes, 28 seconds).

Thanks for this very informative podcast.
I heard Mr. Long mentioned that he's a Cannon shooter and emphasized how we should think about grouping our edits before sending the TIFF out to Capture NX to minimize the number of masters.
My questions is this...I just got the new Nikon D300 and it came with Capture NX, but I want to use Aperture to manage, while using Capture NX to edit some of my photos. I plan to shoot in RAW/NEF. So, since I will already be managing my originals as NEF, do I still suffer the library bloat caused by multiple round tripping? Does Aperture have some kind of "pass through", meaning can it just pass though my NEF (with perhaps some of my edits in Aperture), then do my edits in NX, then back again to Aperture? I was also wondering since I understand that my edits are really just instructions tacked onto my RAW image, I wonder if NX will add to what I have edited in Aperture and vice versa? I hope I posed my questions clearly, and thank you very much in advance.
