Q: Restoring original
I'm thinking of buying Aperture and importing my iPhoto library into it.
Once I've done this, can I restore the photo within Aperture to its original version as it was when it was originally imported into iPhoto?
Thanks

iPhoto is 9.4.3, OS X is 10.8.4, Aperture will be the current version.
That is perfect then.
If you want to start with a new Aperture library and leave the iPhoto libray untouched, you can import your current iPhoto library into Aperture. Aperture will import the photos from iPhoto exacly as they are in iPhoto, with the original file as master image file and the edits stored in the image versions. You will be able to undo these edits in Aperture or to create additional new versions from the original files or the edited versions. Any additional versions will require not much space, since Aperture will only store the sequence of edits, not the rendered image.
