Q: Question about how Aperture and iPhoto store their data
I have the latest version of aperture, (3.6) with OS 10.10.2.
I sometimes want to use iPhoto as well. I have iPhoto, latest version, (9.6.1) but I have never opened it. When I tried to open it for the first time I was advised I had to run some kind of a program to organize my photos prior to upgrading iPhoto.
iPhoto '11 or later: About the Library Upgrader - Apple Support
Here's where I am confused, if I am running the latest version of Aperture aren't my photos already organized to the most recent standard? I am afraid that by running this program to utilize the latest version of iPhoto I might somehow harm the photo database for use with Aperture.
Comments appreciated.

By default, all of the images will be within the packages; there will be two copies of each photo. If you're using a referenced library, there may only be one depending on how they're set up; moving the files manually may cause problems with one or both libraries.
