I have Aperture 3 now and can't use my iPhoto library with Aperture.

My version of iPhoto is 8.1.2. Aperture says I need iPhoto 9.1 or somewhere around there. How do I do this. Is this another purchase I will have to make? I downloaded the upgrade for iPhoto 9.4.2 and it told me that I need iPhoto 9.1 or later for the upgrade to 9.4.2. Come on man!!!

I just spent $100 for mountain lion and aperture. What is the oldest upgrade I can make to iPhoto 8.1.2 so it will work with aperture 3? Or am I just stuck with having to purchase iPhoto 9.1?

Thanks

As documented you must have iPhoto 9.3 and Aperture 3.3 or later - if you do not meet the minimum requirements then you must upgrade to meet them - in your case purchasing iPhoto '11 in the App store

With Aperture 3.3 you can directly open and work with libraries from iPhoto 9.3 or later.
