Aperture to LR

I'm requesting for some help on moving images from Aperture to LR CC. I'm not doing it as a mess import as I have over 54k images. I'm slowly moving them over as I make folders with in LR to organize the images. Will, here is a issue. I'm exporting original image form Aperture to a folder within the desktop and importing them to LR. LR is not recognizing all images. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks

One possibility is that you have LR set up to not import duplicates and some of the files you are wanting to import have the same filename/location as some already imported.

LR works in much the same way as Aperture set up to work with "Referenced" files as oppsed to " Managed".

You don't have to export anything from Aperture, and you don't have to create any folders on your desk top. All you have to do is open Lightroom click on IMPORT select the folder you want to import and then click on IMPORT again. It is that simple.

Well he might if he is using Aperture in Managed mode instead of Referenced mode. Because in managed mode there won't be any files in the file system for LR to import.

I thought that Apple had built a tool that allowed Aperture to convert itself to LR, so that you maintained most of the organisation work that you had already done. As well as dropping the files into the correct locations it also converts Apertures equivalent of Collections to LR collections, as well as all of the keywords etc being shifted too. If I had Aperture this would be my first choice option, so that I maintained the maximum amount of the work I had already put into Aperture. I would only try a fully manual system if I had tried it and it failed miserably.

If you have both a RAW file and a PSD/TIFF or JPEG of the same image you could be falling foul of the LR option that treats different file types with the same name and creation/exposure time as being the same image. Because then LR is only going to import the RAW file. Often when people shoot RAW+JPEG they only want to bring the RAW file into LR, not both.

if when importing into LR you are using a YYYY/MM/DD type file structure then there may be a quicker was to get the files out of the managed aperture library.

You can

1. Find the library.
2. Right click and "Show package Contents"
3. Navigate to the "Masters" directory

where you will find all your master files.

From there you can COPY the structure from the library and put it/them elsewhere on you hard drive before importing into LR.
