Q: iPhoto not imported correctly?

I purchased and installed Aperture the other day.  I then opened it, but decided to close it immediately, and import my iPhoto library the next day.

 

The following day I got ready to import my iPhoto library.  According to page 174 of the pdf manual, there are several options, such as storing imported master location, import as referenced images, a 'move files' or 'copy files' button, and several others.  However during the import, I was given none of these options.  I selected File - Import - Library, chose my iPhoto library, and immediately a "merging libraries" message was displayed.  After about 15 minutes the message disappeared, and all my iPhoto events now appear to be in individual projects, faces and places are OK, and all seems to be well.  Oddly, I noticed that in the manual, the command is given as just  'File - Import - iPhoto library', which I cannot see.

 

Has the import gone correctly?  If so, why did I not received the various import options mentioned in the manual?

 

The original iPhoto library appears to be intact, and I now have an Aperture Library in my Pictures folder.

 

Would appreciate any help.
