using Aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 same library questions

I am using both aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 to edit and keep track of images

I imported images to iPhoto the have Aperture import the iPhoto library this way I have i library..I know if something happens to it I am screwed
1) I know that Aperture is non destructive, is iPhoto?
2) will changes ( like GPS location) in aperture be applied to iPhoto images
3) looking to see if I can make changes made in one program appear in the other

4) or it it better to import the images in from my external drive (how they were before iPhoto), and have a separate library for each program

Why, exactly, are you using both programs?

use both for editing and to organize..better just to stay with one?

In most cases, the library management portions of both apps are redundant. Are you using a managed library, or keeping original files intact where they were imported?

EJ,

Of the two programs, Aperture is clearly the more sophisticated in both terms of image organization and image adjustments, book creation, web galleries, slideshows, etc. IMHO it would be much better to just commit all your images to the internal library of Aperture and if you need to use an image in iPhoto for some reason, you can access it through hte Media Browser. As a matter of fact, any Apple program that supports the Media Browser can directly access any image in the Aperture Libraries.

It's also less confusing. (on the other hand, on Wednesday we may see new verisons of iLife and iWork. Don't know what that will bring. But iPhoto will always be one or two steps behind Aperture).
