Creating keyworded iPhoto Library from Aperture export

I have gathered and edited in Aperture 3 several projects of photos for a client. Upon completion of the editing, I will create an iPhoto Library of the organized images (keyworded and in albums) for the client who is a basic iPhoto user.

I know when you import images into Aperture from iPhoto, the keywords come over. Is the same true in reverse? I want to get the fullsize images (not just the previews) with keywords into a new iPhoto Library.

Suggestions for best achieving this?

Mac OS X (10.6.3)

As long as you have "include Metadata" checked in your export presets when you export versions, the keywords will come over.

Getting iPhoto to honor your albums will be a bit more tricky. Maybe you should include the album name in your keywords so you can quickly recreate the albums in iPhoto. There are other options, but this is as easy as any I can think of.

thanks, dls.

Rather than using albums for my client in Aperture, I used projects for each separate event in anticipation of the export. So I'll export project by project into folders and then import into iPhoto. That will create separate events, I believe, yes?
