Ok, seriously have been trying to to do this for month, and every time I get ready to do it, something happens to scare me away from LR. I am doing it though, and I am doing it today!
I have a manged Aperture library right now. I have a totally empty and reformatted hard drive. I am going to use the "relocate masters" function of Aperture to move all of my photos on to this external hard drive. I am going to have a parent folder, and then within that folder I will have the following structure:
2008
01_2008
02_2008
and so on.... So a Year folder, and then 12 folders within each year folder for each month, named as above so they stay in numerical order. After I have relocated all of the masters, I am going to "Add" them all to Lightroom. I know they will be in Lightroom without the edits I have completed in Aperture, but I should be able to access the photos with edit by going to them through Aperture as a referenced library. And everything going forward I will copy (or copy as DNG, that I have not decided about) into Lightroom, and edit in Lightroom, etc.
So am I missing anything? Let me know if I am not getting something and am creating an unforseen problem for myself.
