I am thinking of moving over to Lightroom 4 from Aperture 3 as I am fed up of waiting for aperture to bring out a new version..

Has anyone made this move and for what reason please
 
Yeah I know it cross platform. But wondering if people have left aperture for Lightroom 4 as apple seem slow updating many software recently.
 
Have bough it today via Adobe for £71 for the sale that going on today only.

Now I need to get the work flow right in the Catalog anyone want to show me a screen shot?
 
one thing that confuse me at the moment is month folders they not in order ive got Aug, Nov, Oct in that order and in a life I cant get it in month orders

Hey, Sorry for the delay. Here's a merged image showing a bit more information for how I have my images organised:

Hopefully it is pretty self explanatory. The folder hierarchy is in my previous post for you to compare against.

If you right click on the most top level folder within lightroom you can use the two options I screened in the image to choose which is your top level folder. As you can see I have it set to "Images"

I have found this setup works perfectly for my needs. Maybe others do not agree, I don;t care at all. This works for me, other ways will work for others. I have put this here for people to take inspiration from if they wish. Not to force anyone to do it this way.

No problem we all got busy lives :)

I would like to say thank you ever so much for doing this for me and it made things clear :)

That pretty good structure that pal :) so let say inside the Holidays folder you put in sub folders of the holiday ie Spain, USA????

At the moment I have got Lightroom to do it Year/month/day but I think it going to clutter everything up wont it?

Ive decided to leave aperture as it is and keep the photos there what already been done.

As I bough a new camera start of November so I will use Lightroom from 1st of number where all images are from my new camera.
 
Do you find that plugin better than the built in Flickr that already on Lightroom?

I have moved over from aperture as aperture is lacking too much then again Aperture had some somethings better. But I fancy a change and Lightroom has amazed me.
