Lightroom does the same with respect to the master files imported into the catalog. It's an import convenience. And it can create a backup second set as well ... but there it doesn't copy the import structure, it just places them in a date ordered set of folders. It's up to the user to manage their original files. Aperture also supports fully automated, managed files incorporated into the .aplibrary sets. I have always disliked that ... I prefer to manage my files myself, and have sophisticated backup and archiving policies/systems that do it for me in an efficient and reliable way. I don't want to get into a huge Aperture vs Lightroom vs Photoshop/Bridge debate here. This thread should be about helping Christine recover her work and get her system configured properly to minimize problems in the future, using her choice of tools. I work with Lightroom, Aperture, and Photoshop ... as well as several other image processing software tools. I really don't care which ones other people choose to use.
