can anyone tell me if (if I am correct) you shoot raw and jpeg of the same shot how aperture handles the display of the two files. It shows only one image correct? What if you want to access only the jpeg (for export or the in camera sharpening/color settings for the file)?
thanks

You are correct about seeing only the RAW file. However, when you export; choose Export to JPEG.

You only see the RAW.
You can work with the JPEG via the "new version from master JPEG" command. You can also export the master JPEG.
IMO, a RAW+JPEG workflow when using products such as Aperture or Lightroom is 99.5% worthless. Maybe 99.999% worthless. Just shoot RAW.
So for someone like myself who has just bought a new Nikon and wants to get an idea of the effect of the different picture controls it isn't possible to do this if I have shot RAW as well?
Do the picture controls have an effect on the embedded jpeg? I want to try to streamline my workflow. Would like the ease of shooting jpeg sometimes where I am not after utmost quality and will have taken a lot of shots.
The other thing which I'd like to be able to do is a master adjustment of different combinations of saved presets in each of the panels. Obviously 'lift' enables this, but suppose the equivalent of LR develop settings is what I'm after.

As said above you only get the RAW image - this is imported into Aperture and it will not see the JPEG. The Picture Styles from Canon are not supported by Aperture and I assume the Nikon equivalents are not either, so replicating these settings without a little intervention is not possible.
However, creating different versions of the imported images is not difficult within Aperture and it easily allows you to create presets for various individual settings - could be colour balance, monochrome, etc. You can go a long way to replicating the camera presets, but with much more control and flexibility.

Embedded JPEGs do nothing. You can't use them with Aperture (or with Lightroom). The one exception is Aperture's "quick preview" which will use the embedded JPEG for display when you're in that mode, if you didn't let it generate its own preview.
Frankly, with Aperture, forget about JPEGs. Shoot RAW and not RAW+JPEG. Given you can generate JPEGs from the RAWs in about one second per picture, it's just not worth the space for the JPEG.
