Q: How to merge iPhoto, Aperture, Photos Libraries (and avoid duplicates)?

Hello, I had several iPhoto and Aperture libraries that were poorly named and likely had some duplication. I have now opened them up and Photos has created new libraries. While Photos seems to have renamed some of the libraries, I think each of my former iPhoto/Aperture libraries has a corresponding Photos library (except for one).

 

I would like to switch to a finder-organized lightroom workflow and I want to get all of my photos into one big folder (or a folder with dated subfolders), with all duplicates flagged for deletion. Ideally, I will end up with both a master and a modified version of the final files, but if this is too hard, I am OK with just masters.

 

Is there any way to automate this process?
