[Leica] Aperture, Lightroom and Photoshop

[Jim at hemenway.com (Jim Hemenway)]

Hi Mark:

I think that I have the general idea now.  I haven't used Bridge but 
once, and it was incredibly slow on my G4.

For my RAW files, I just drag them to the Photoshop icon to work on 'em.

I really do need to set up some way of cataloging my thousands of photos 
better than I have so far, so I need to look into trying out Aperture 
and Lightroom... although I'm not sure that they'll run on my machine.
