I think my next "big" purchase will probably be Aperture, I'm really enjoying the trial.
One question. Right now I'm using iPhoto for captioning and keywording and archiving. When an iPhoto library gets too big I put it on an external harddrive and start a new library. Then if I need a photo from the old library I can access it right off the ext hd. Some of the stuff I've read seems to say that's not possible with Aperture? How do you handle Aperture libraries that are too big?
