I'm using CS3 on a Mac. But i use Aperture for handling all my pics... generally because it does what it say on the can. My question.. something that escapes me, is that I load all of my pics into Aperture which is fine. How can I then get Adobe Bridge CS3 to see those pics?
This is probablly something verrrrrry simple but i just am at a loss to crack it right now?
Anyone help? I dont want to be duplicating pics etc....

Unfortunately, there is no export to Photoshop from Aperture. You basically have to save your settings and reopen the image in Photoshop - not necessarily save ANOTHER one, but your settings.
The bad news for Aperture is Adobe Lightroom, which they made to have a direct export to Photoshop when you're done tweaking your RAW files.
Good luck-

Ahhh.. since posting here I have been delving into the intricasies of Apeture....
There is actually an "Open With External Editor" option under the Images drop down menu. Photoshop, or any external editor can be set as the default. You can then work on this file and a copy is saved as a psd. The original RAW file is left untouched. The psd file is saved with the origial in the Apeture album. Pretty seamless, pretty cool.
Yes Lightroom is here.. at last. But its version 1.00 Did I not read that Lightroom is built on someone else's technology, hence some speed issues? Anyway, I watch eith interest as the two programmes emerge....
