Imported RAW+JPG ... how to delete all JPG's?

I wanted to see the difference between raw RAW images and JPG's created within the camera, so I imported all 600 pictures like that (300 RAW, 300 JPEG's). I set RAW as the Master and I see that I can set JPEG as Master afterwards, if I want.

Questions:

1) What is the easiest way to view the JPEG version? The only way I've found is to duplicate the image and then set JPEG as master.

On Import you should have set "Raw + JPEG Pairs" to "Both - Separate Masters".

2) How do I go about deleting all (or some) of my 300 JPG images now? Isn't there a "show in Finder"-option so I can delete them like that (rather than navigating the Aperture library file/folder myself, potentially screwing up something) - or how is it supposed to be done?

You should do all you file maintenance from inside Aperture. It's a Digital Asset Manager, and the files are a very big part of your digital assets.

The filter HUD has a rule accurately titled "File Type". Use it to filter for JPGs. Select them all. Delete them.

If you haven't made any adjustments and still have the images on card or disk, you might consider selected them all, deleting the Masters as well as the versions, and then re-importing. Common practice among raw shooters is to not import the JPG files and let Aperture generate its own (some do, though).

Thanks.
