Plus Aperture 3 ran like a sick dog. When you right click on the Aperture library, which is probably in your Picture folder, you can choose Show Package Contents. Everything is there. All my images, RAW and jpegs where in the Masters folder. Aperture had already kind of organized it all into a Year/Month/Date system, so it wasn't hard to find stuff as long as you knew the approximate date. I copied the contents of the Masters folder into my Pictures folder. So now there are the Pictures/Year/Months/day etc. Hope this helps. @Ssorzano

I actually use LR, but I think I will swithch to Bridge and see how it goes... Yeah, I think you are right that LR is a bit heavy if you just need to organize your stuff.

The thing is I kind got excited with the way aperture let's me organize my projects, but then i realized that with bridge i have more editing control over my RAW files, but now i don't know which is the best way to make the switch, getting my pictures out of the aperture library into a simple file structure by year, month, day? Thanks a lot. I have a question, which is the best way to get all of the images out of aperture to start organizing them in Bridge.

I have a feeling that you can use Aperture with your filing system rather than letting it do its thing but I never worked out how. Anyway, the point of my post is this: say I want to give up on Aperture. What's the quickest, easiest way to get all my stuff out?

It's taken a few versions of Bridge to get where we are with CS4, but the versatility of Bridge compared to Aperture and Lightroom makes it a great fit to a simple and good workflow.
