I had some old photographs in an iPhoto library (from before I got back into photography about five years ago) and a pretty good sized Aperture library from the first couple of years after I did before I switched over to Lightroom. When I wanted to get at something, I'd just open Aperture, from which I could access both libraries. But with all of this stuff happening with "Photos" taking the place of both iPhoto and Aperture, I just exported all of this stuff and created separate Lightroom catalogs for them. Aperture and iPhoto and all of their associated files are now off of my Mac. I obviously lost the non-destructive edits I'd done in Aperture, but I generally finished up with one of the Nik plug-ins anyway, so I still have finished jpeg versions of all of that work anyway. If I need to re-edit the raw files, I'm better off just starting over in Lightroom, which I much prefer anyway... I should have done it a while ago, but thanks for the heads up Sue. It was a good motivator for me...
