I am glad that worked for you.
Sorry for keeping you waiting - dinner time!
NOW....
How do I transfer all these files to iPhoto? Export from Aperture? Import from iPhoto?
Exactly - export from Aperture to a folder on your hard drive and import from the Finder to iPhoto.
There are two export options (to a folder on the disk) in Aperture:
- Export versions
- Export masters
You will want to do both, since you want to migrate to iPhoto. Do you have enough free disk space to hold all exported images at once?
Then select all images at once in the browser in Aperture and select "File -> Export -> Versions..."
In the panel that appears, select a suitable export preset (one with "original size" in the name). You will have to make up your mind, if you want to export with a lossless quality that will allow further high quality edits, like tiff, or a good quality for browsing and printing (and higher compression) like jpeg.
Then specify a subfolder format to keep your exported images organized - project name would be a good choice.
Do the same for the master image files, to be able to revert to the master images, if need be.
Then launch iPhoto and import the folder with the exported versions.
File -> Import to Library
and select the folder to be imported.
There will be no way to transfer your albums, book, slideshows.
These you will have to recreate in iPhoto.
Make up your mind, if you also want to reimport the master image files too. This way you will have two separate master image files for each image -version and original master. Thereis no way to combine them into a master-version pair like in Aperture. It might suffice just to make a backup of the master image files, just in case you need to reprocess them, if you find some of your edited versions need polishing up.
Good Luck
