Is there an effective way to MERGE iPhoto library with Aperture?

Import one of the libraries into another in Aperture.
Done.

I don't use iPhoto....Don't really know why I bother updating it really, because it's there I guess. Aperture isn't perfect, but it can be tamed. I'm fortunate enough to have ample storage space....( well for now anyway) I haven't had a chance to organise my library's yet....I had just clean installed Lion on my IMac prior to last nights WWDC. All my library and archive material is currently residing on my Pegasus R4, but I'm going to try a more disciplined approach to Aperture libraries.

If I hadn't had a major argument with Adobe a good few years back I would probably use LR but thats a Differnt story.

In the latest updates iPhone and Aperture use the same library and therefore any changes made in Aperture will then be visible in iPhoto and vica versa.

Check software update!

Yup! Now my wife can use iPhoto while I use Aperture

Here is a trick question for you guys which I don't understand.

iPhoto library 140GB.
I have cleared 160GB in order to do the import.
When I go to Aperture to import it it tells me that I need 330GB.

Why does it need so much more when iPhoto library is only 140GB?

What am I missing here please?

I have the same issue and I'd love to get some answers. Why does my ~60GB iPhoto library require me to have ~550GB free to do a merge? (By the way, my HDD is only 500GB, so figure that one out).
