I have been looking to find a way to import my LR Library into Aperture 3 but haven't found ... Does anybody knows how to do it? Would apreciate your input! greetings from Switzerland JPH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Calahan Posted June 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 17, 2010 Haven't even thought of this since each software is proprietary. Perhaps exporting you LR library to a folder of images, and then importing that folder into Aperture? Just an idea off the top of my head without attempting to do it.

bman Posted June 17, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 17, 2010 Hi there JPH1962. I went the other way round, just switched to LR2 from Aperture 3 last month. It was really a bad experience for me with Aperture 3, it was unbearably slow, up to a point where I wasn't sure whether the program had crashed or just taking it's own time. But, what I did was moved all my master images out from the 'Aperture.aplib' into a separate folder, and from then on, I've kept all my master images in that folder, out from either Aperture or LR prop library. I suppose, you could do the reverse. I now make a point not to move the masters into each of the software library, hence each LR and Aperture will just keep their own review files in their prop library. I hope I'm making sense here.

JPH1962 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted June 17, 2010 THanks for the feedback so far - that is a bit what I anticipated... I have all images in seperate Folders. THese indeed are easy to link to aperture, but if I switch completely to aperture I would like to import the modifications done... thus the idea of importing the library... Looks like a dead duck! Thanks rgds JPH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bman Posted June 17, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 17, 2010 Ya, I was looking for the solution, earlier. What I do now is have 2 sets of master images. Since HD space is an issue, my unedited masters now reside in an external drive, the one I worked on is on my Main drive. Since, u can re-sync masters or export edit permanently on to the masters on the main drive, I can have the preview in LR an Aperture both showing the re-master. BTW, I still use Aperture to link my images for my iPhone. Good luck. Regards, bman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted June 17, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 17, 2010 BTW, I still use Aperture to link my images for my iPhone. I'm probably telling you something you already know, but you can nominate a folder and any images put in that folder will be automatically synched to your iPhone. So it would be possible to put photographs exported from Lightroom into that folder any they would be copied to the iPhone when you did a sync. May not be as versatile as Aperture though.

THese indeed are easy to link to aperture, but if I switch completely to aperture I would like to import the modifications done... thus the idea of importing the library... I think this a probably a problem inherent in no-destructive editing. If you transfer the files to another program you don't get the modifications along with them. In fact if you have the originals and accidentally loose or delete the Lightroom Calalogue file (in the case of lightroom) I suspect you will also lose the modifications. I doubt that anyone will ever write a workable translator from one to another. It's like different CAD formats (I'm an architect) no matter Ho much one company saya they can import and export reliably from another's format, there always something left wanting! - Vikas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
