Aperture to iPhoto 1.0
**Function:** Export images from Aperture projects or albums into iPhoto so they can be used in the iLife apps. The attached zip includes two applications... one for exporting projects, the other for albums.

**Notes**: Read me included for operating instructions. Tested on both Intel and PowerPC Macs and v1.0, 1.0.1 and 1.1 Aperture and into iPhoto6. Author will assist downloaders with customization to suit their specific needs or application.

If you’d like to automatically close Aperture after the export process, Apple makes it possible with a quick and dirty action downloadable here…
Here’s how to make it work…
1. Download the action from the link above
2. Mount the disk image
3. Copy the action to your hard drive
4. Start Automator
5. Import the action you copied in step 3
6. Open each of the A > i workflows
6. Insert the Quit Application action below the Export Images Action, choose Yes from the Save pull-down
7. Save, close and use
