Moving images from iPhoto to Aperture 3.3? #1

I use iPhoto to manage my iPhone pics (it's a lot cleaner that way since I have so much junk from bad snaps, to my daughters game pics, to random visual notes I snap for later).

I'm doing some organizing and cleaning (finally) and was hoping to be able to access my iPhoto library via Aperture to manually pull in the good images to Aperture. I recall there being an iPhoto browser window that let you do this in past versions of Aperture, but I can't seem to find it now…. any idea how to do this?

Thanks!

There indeed used to be the option under previous versions (File > Import > iPhoto library), however, I can’t find it anymore in 3.3. I suspect the main reason is because now you can directly open your iPhoto library in Aperture which in theory means there’s no point of having a separate library for iPhoto and Aperture. Now, of course, there are other reasons for having separate libraries and if you want to do that you can still export projects as a library and import them into a new one.
