Aperture Library icon shows as iPhoto icon

User uploaded file


I had iPhoto installed and then uninstalled it after installing Aperture. When I create a new Aperture Library, it shows this icon (same as the iPhoto icon I had) instead of the traditional Aperture icon. What's going on?

See my UserTip:

If you have older iPhoto Libraries backed up somewhere, that have not yet been upgraded to iPhoto 9.3 or later you may need iPhoto one day, or if you want to browse two libraries at the same time.


If iPhoto came preinstalled on your computer or you bought it from the AppStore I'd reinstall it from the AppStore, while iPhoto '11 is still the current version.
