Aperture images in iPhoto, open iPhoto, then choose File

browse through your Aperture library and select the images to import into iPhoto.
➪
2.23
Use this import dialog to copy or move your iPhoto library into Aperture 3.
It's also possible to import your iPhoto library into Aperture as referenced files. That way Aperture
doesn't duplicate the master files but can access them to create versions. You see the files within
both Aperture and iPhoto, but behind the scenes the master files are still stored in the iPhoto
library. To create a referenced version of your iPhoto library, open Aperture. Choose File
Import
iPhoto Library. In the dialog shown earlier in Figure 2.23, choose In Their Current Location
in the
Store Files pop-up menu.
➪
You can also opt to create a referenced copy of the iPhoto library that is stored within Pictures or
any other location that you choose. That creates a duplicate copy of the iPhoto library that is refer-
enced by Aperture, so the master files are stored outside Aperture as discussed earlier in this
chapter.
