roundtripping to Photoshop to use Photomerge for panoramas

I have multiple photos in Aperture that I want to merge into a panaroma. I use Photoshop's photomerge feature to do this. If select the photos in Aperture and right click to "edit with Photoshop" I end up with a new version of all the individual photos that are being merged. I don't want these duplicate I just want to get them into Photoshop. I realize the resultant merged photo (pano) in Photoshop will be a new photo that needs to be imported into Aperture.

I am trying to find the simplest way to get the individual photos to be merged into Photoshop. I am using a managed library in Aperture so I can't simply open the photos from Photoshop (and if I could it would be a pain to dive down through Apertures folder structure).

I can export all the photos from Aperture and then select them in Photoshop to be merged. But then I end up with a duplicate set of photos to be deleted.

Just searching for a better way.

Thanks any assistance,
Jim
