Do iPhoto journals created on iOS now sync on iPhoto 9.5 for mac?

hi all,

ive spent a lot of time on my iPad touching up travel photos and creating journals. I've just upgraded to Mavericks, and am thinking about getting the new iPhoto 9.5 for iMac.

Will the journals i have suddenly appear if i make this upgrade on my iMac, or is there a much longer, convoluted process to do this?

Also, will the quality of the images be the same?

Thanks in advance!!
