Before the migration:
This happens when you back up your Photos or iPhoto Library and then, before the next backup, delete a few images. The next time the backup runs, you want to be confident that the images you deleted from the library aren't also removed from the existing backup. IPhoto Library Manager allows you to organize your photos among multiple Iphoto libraries, instead of storing all your photos in one giant library. You can view.

BTW: There is no need to do the migration in a hurry. Both Aperture3.6 and iPhoto 9,6.1 are supported on OS X Yosemite and OS X El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra (some minor issues, and you can no longer order print Products from Aperture) and Mojave. You can continue to use Aperture 3.6 or iPhoto 9.6.1, while you are exploring Photos, so you will know, how to best prepare for the migration. But the writing is on the wall. Do the migration before you upgrade to macOS 10.15 in the fall. Neither iPhoto nor Aperture will probably run on macOS 15, Catalina, to be released next fall.
