I got sucked into Aperture early on, but am now trying out Lightroom and think I like it better and will soon commit to it. I am puzzling over one aspect of it though, and would appreciate it if someone could either enlighten me or point me to a resource* (I have searched everywhere for an answer to this):
Both programs use non-destructive editing. However, in Aperture it's simple to do a bunch of edits to a master image, and then either (1) "freeze" the version at that stage, make a new version from the master and try out a whole different approach, or (2) create a new version from the version and take things further. I imagine that the LR "snapshot" feature is roughly the equivalent of (2); is there a (1) equivalent?
*On the subject of resources, they are in abundance for LR, but none that I have encountered are interactive, all-LR-all-the-time forums. If such a thing exists I'd be grateful for a link.
