Thanks.

I gave up on Graphic Converter some time ago I think when I moved  
from PS Elements to PS 7.

The preservation of the original file in LightRoom and Aperture seems  
like a good idea, but I have read some disturbing reports about the  
inability of different applications to pick up and apply the  
adjustment tags from another application. And even when they do I  
wonder whether an image adjusted in Aperture for example will look  
the same in something like LightRoom if I open it there because there  
is an exclusive tool there that I want to use. Then will Aperture  
pick that up and and combine it with its own file? I admit I am  
flummoxed by the possibility of the added complexity of keeping track  
of the little adjustment files. I wonder too whether it will be used  
in the future as a way to keep one in the fold requiring one to throw  
away many hours of work in order to change to a new application.

I probably should try one. I am probably imagining great impediments  
that would disappear with familiarity.
