This is a good point and actually what drew me away from LR! In the really short time I have now used Aperture, I am comfortable getting around. However, editing is editing -organizing is critical.
As mentioned, I drop my cards (RAW+JPG) or film scans into folders, then drop the JPG's into iPhoto for viewing. I can then edit the RAW's from the folders as culled. iPhoto and Aperture can apparently share libraries, but to get started I decided to keep them separate (my iPhoto library is shared with SWMBO).
What is best practice -or rather, what do all of you do?
My image management workflow runs entirely through LR from card to finished. Once I'm done with an image rendering, I export it. If I want it for use in Aperture or iPhoto, I drop a copy of the finished image file into their respective libraries.
