Jan 17, 2020 If you migrated your library to Photos after installing macOS Catalina 10.15 but before updating to macOS Catalina 10.15.1, complete these steps before continuing: Select your Aperture library in the Finder. By default, it's named Aperture Library and is in the Pictures folder of your home folder. Choose File Get Info. Select either Import from Aperture Library or Import from iPhoto Library. Note: If you want to migrate specific photos from your Aperture library to Lightroom Classic, export them to a new Aperture library and then migrate the new library.

• Before we can actually start using all Library tools, however, we need images to work with. That is why our first step is to learn how to import photographs in Lightroom. I will be using the latest (at the time of writing) version, Lightroom 5, to guide you through the process of Importing images.
• Apr 10, 2017 Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro running macOS Sierra (10.12.3), using Photos version 2.0 and Adobe Lightroom CC (2015).! I've read the forums and cannot find an answer to my question. How can I import/export photos between Photos and Lightroom without having to drag and drop via the desktop every ti.
• That’s pretty awesome because if you lose your device, you at least know your pictures are safe on other devices and in the iCloud Photo Library as long as the device had internet connectivity and time to upload. Images you take on an iPhone upload right away to the iCloud Photo Library, same with images you import into the Photos app on the Mac.

Here's how you can quickly migrate your photos from the Photos app or Aperture on macOS to Lightroom Classic.

Back up your catalog, if you have an existing Lightroom Classic catalog.


In Lightroom Classic on macOS, choose File > Plug-In Extras.

Select either Import from Aperture Library or Import from iPhoto Library.


Note:

If you want to migrate specific photos from your Aperture library to Lightroom Classic, export them to a new Aperture library and then migrate the new library.

Your libraries are automatically detected.

You have the option to select a different library, if applicable. Your images will be copied to a new location. A default location is listed, however you can also choose a different folder.

Click Options to see how Lightroom Classic works with available previews, keywords, color labels, and stacks.

METADATA

• Flags
• Star Ratings
• Keywords
• GPS Data
• Faces: Face naming tags are mapped to keywords
• Rejects: Files designated as Rejects in Aperture are imported into Collections > From Aperture > Photos Rejected in Aperture
• Info Panel metadata that can be entered in the Info panel (i.e. IPTC)
• Hidden Files: Files designated as Hidden in Photos are imported into Collections > From iPhoto > Photos Hidden in iPhoto
• Aperture Color Labels: Color Labels are mapped to keywords: Red, Orange, and so on, including support for custom label names

ORGANIZATION

• Aperture Stacking: Stacks information is mapped to keywords: Aperture Stack 1, Aperture Stack 2, and so on
  
• Aperture project/folder/album hierarchies are mapped as closely as possible into Lightroom Classic collection sets and collections
• Photos events/folders/albums are mapped as closely as possible into Lightroom Classic collection sets and collections
• Aperture Versions translate into Virtual Copies in Lightroom Classic (without adjustments)

EDITS

• You can choose to importfull-size JPEG previews of your edited images from Aperture/Photos, if they are up-to-date. This option is off by default. Lightroom Classic can automatically stack the preview with the original photo.
  • Full-size JPEG previews generated from files with settings don't include metadata that has been applied to the master (keywords, star ratings, flags, GPS data).
  • Full-size JPEG previews are duplicated if imported first by the same Photos library and then later from a library upgraded from Photos to Aperture (due to a difference in filename).

Note:

The plug-in supports migrating both managed and referenced Aperture and Photos libraries.

• If your files are managed by Aperture (Aperture's default) Lightroom Classic leaves them where they are and duplicates them in your chosen location.
• If your files are referenced by Aperture Lightroom Classic gives you the option of leaving them in their current location, or duplicating them in a new location.

What does not get migrated to Lightroom Classic?

Some Photos/Aperture features are not compatible with Lightroom Classic. This includes:

• Image adjustments: Aperture and Lightroom use different image processing engines, so Lightroom cannot read adjustments made in Aperture. You can do one of the following:
  • Re-edit your file using Lightroom Classic.
  • Use Aperture to export full resolution edited photos and store them with the originals.
• Smart Albums
• Face Tag Region of Interest: Face naming tags are mapped to keywords
• Color Labels: Optionally as keywords
• Stacks: Optionally as keywords. Aperture shares stacks between albums, Lightroom does not
• Any kind of creation (books, web galleries, and so on) other than the collections that correspond to them
• PSD files can be imported into Lightroom only if they’re saved with ‘maximize compatibility’ enabled.

Let's face it when using apps from different places they don't always communicate well with each other. For those of us who like using Lightroom for photo editing, the task of moving your photos after editing can be tedious. First, they need to be exported, and then after that, you still need to upload them into the Photos app if you want access to them across your devices.

There is an easier way, it just requires jumping through a few hoops at first. Using Automator you can create a workflow that will upload your photos for you, and we have the details for you here!

How Lightroom switchers can move to Photos for Mac

If you switched to Lightroom a while ago but now want to make the move to Photos, your best bet is to load your Lightroom folders and files directly into Photos. Just note down where they're stored on your hard drive, and then import away.

How to prepare for setting up Lightroom photos to sync

Before you can jump through the hoops required to set up an automated export of your Lightroom photos to your iCloud Photo Library, you'll need to prepare a few things. These steps will simply ensure that, once you've started, you'll be able to create the Automator rule without having to stop and set something up. You'll need to set up a folder in finder, create an export preset for Lightroom, and enable your iCloud Photo Library.

Create a folder in Finder

First things first, you'll want to create a new folder in Finder. This is the folder where all of the photos you want to sync from Lightroom will be exported to. If you've already got a folder for this, you can use the existing one.

1. Open Finder on your Mac.
2. Use Control + click to open the menu.

3. Click new folder to create a folder for your Lightroom exports.

4. Name your folder accordingly.

How to use Automator to export Lightroom photos to Photos for Mac

2. Click on New Document in the bottom left corner of the Automator window.

3. Select Folder Action.

4. Click on Choose.

5. Select the folder you have designated to send your Lightroom photos to into the workflow panel to create the first action in the workflow at the top of the screen.

6. Double-click on Get Specified Finder Items in the sub-menu bar second from the left.
7. Click Add and choose the folder you created earlier.
8. Click Add.
9. Double-click on Get Folder Contents in the sub-menu bar to add it as the second action in the workflow.

You should now test the Automator rule to make sure it works correctly. Click on Run in the upper right corner of the Automator window. If the actions are listed correctly, you'll see a note in your log that the workflow is completed. If not, repeat the steps above, making sure to have three actions in your workflow. You'll probably get an arrow, but you'll also get the notification that a photo has been imported into Photos.

1. Click on File in the Automator App menu in the Menu bar.
2. click on Save in the drop-down menu. You could also hit the Command + S keyboard shortcut to save the rule.
3. Select a folder to save the action in if you haven't already.
