Hey all, just upgraded to a new MB air and the difference from my old 256 to 128 now is a bit tough. I have a few VM's (Parallels) but having 2 kids, I did take a lot of pictures, now there getting older into sports, etc. I have a nice Canon DSLR and the pictures are so much better, but the problem as I first mention is disk space. I have an external raid5 array with 2T and around 1.2T of both pictures and video. I also have a pro Flickr account so I don't need the images local. The problem I have is using aperture, it's nice that it keeps the thumnails local, but the truth is the originals are offsite and I don't use the app for viewing, so don't really need them there taking up space.
A friend suggested to switch to LR and there are some good threads comparing, but I haven't found the answer to that above question. If I remove aperture, and simply take some pictures, load them up in LightRoom. Edit, upload (I'm sure theres a flickr plugin), then move them to the NAS device, will I still have some big growing local file?
I don't mind making the switch as I am no aperture pro, but if I will have the same issues, it won't be worth it.
Thanks ...
