    Thanks, exacly what I was looking for. Allows me to work with these large
    RAW’s, while not consuming all disk space on the laptop…

    This is absolutely wonderful. Will that work if you have the JPEG’s on one
    card and NEF’s on another card? (like with the D7000) Thanks for the great
    tutorial!

    Then you can’t use this method. It requires that you shoot in jpeg and RAW

    Then you can’t use this workflow of importing.

    Is there a system like this that I can apply to using Lightroom 5? I just
    got it so I’m still learning. Thanks to anyone 🙂

    Unfortunately not. Lightroom doesn’t have this workflow available. I have
    since moved to LR 5 but I still use this Aperture workflow to sort my
    keeper images before editing in Lightroom.

    Dude, this is absolutely a neat trick – something I haven’t seen anywhere
    else. Thank you!

    Hi – glad you found it helpful. Yes it works, just import the JPEGs and
    then make your selections, then put your NEF card in and Aperture elves
    work their magic. 🙂

    Thank you for posting this very sensible and simple workflow. This is
    exactly what I was looking for, as I just recently started shooting RAW,
    and was wondering how best to process my files in Aperture. This addressed
    both of my concerns; minimizing import time and conserving storage space.
    Great job.

    What if you have shot only in RAW?
