I have been using a Mac for the last couple of years but have always used Lightroom on a PC prior to this and have now installed Lightroom 5 on my Mac
Using iPhoto/Aperture and importing to the Mac all of my photos which I am used to seeing in a folder/file hierarchy are swallowed up in a library.
Is there any way for Lightroom to use this library to access my photos without importing a completely separate, duplicate library of my own photos again in a folder/file structure so Lightroom can reference it?
I do not want to maintain two libraries of the same photos on my Mac but do wish to use Lightroom as my main program.
If I am unable to do it this way round is there a way I can reimport all of my photos onto my Mac in the usual folder/file hierarchy but then allow iPhoto/Aperture/etc. to access them in this structure without duplicating all of my pictures?
Thanks & kind regards,
