On The Road Workflow – O’Reilly Digital Media Blog:

Upon returning home all I had to do was export the project that I created on my laptop using the “Export Project” command by Control-Clicking or Right-Clicking on the project and select Export > Export Project… (Or type Shift-Command-E) and then selecting a destination for the exported project. After a few minutes a file named MacWorld2007.approject was on my desktop. I simply copied that file over to my MacPro desktop machine, launched Aperture, clicked on my main library and went to the File menu and selected Import > Projects…

A few minutes later all my photos from my trip were in my Aperture library and all albums, ratings, edits, keywords, etc were just as they were on my laptop.

I think I’ve finally settled on my preferred “On The Road” workflow … this works for my, give it a try, it might work well for you too.

I’ve done this as well on the road, and it’s also a useful way to merge two Aperture libraries cleanly. Very nice technique to keep in the toolbox for when you need it.
