I have files which were edited by someone else within LR3. I want to import them into my LR3 with the edits. I have the RAW files as well as the .xmp files but cannot--for the life of me--figure out how to get them into LR with the edits.

Anytime I do edits on another machine and want those edits in my main LR catalog I export those edits as a catalog and then import that catalog to my main catalog. No XMP files to worry about! Shoot, I hope I can use it this way. Not quite sure why it wouldn't work as the xmp files were created by LR as well. Ugh...

I can't understand why I can't find this info anywhere. I can't imagine I'm the only person to ever want/need to do this.... Thanks. It's simple. Make sure you have the xmp files in the same folder as the corresponding Raw files. Now, if you have imported the Raw files by default the edits won't show up but: select all the Raw files in the filmstrip then execute the Read Metadata from File from either a right-click in the Metadata choice or from the the top menu where it shows up in Metadata or I believe the Photo menu depending on whether you are in the Library or Develop module.

Now the "gotcha": if the photog processed those Raw file in a different "processing generation" from your Raw processor, your files will tend to look "different". For instance, if the photog processed them in LR3 and you open them in CS3 (or vice versa), then you may need to do some extra tweaks to get them looking "right". Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!!!!!
