Migrate your library to Adobe Lightroom Classic

If you’ve upgraded to macOS Catalina, learn about compatibility with Lightroom Classic.

When an Aperture library is migrated to Lightroom, your library's organization, metadata, and image adjustments are preserved, with some exceptions:

  • RAW files are migrated, but Aperture's non-destructive adjustment layer does not. Lightroom’s migrator tool includes an option to export and migrate Aperture’s full-size JPEG previews for edited images. If you want to preserve your Aperture edits in another format, export the edited images from Aperture first, then reimport them into Lightroom after migrating your library.
  • Projects, folders, and albums are migrated to Lightroom collections and collection sets.
  • Faces, color labels, and stacks are migrated as keywords.
  • Rejected images are migrated to a collection.
  • Slideshows are migrated as collections.
  • Smart Albums and custom metadata fields aren't migrated.
  • Album organization is alphabetical, so manual sidebar organization might not be preserved.
  • Custom metadata fields aren't migrated.

Export your Aperture library

You can also export the contents of your Aperture library to back it up or to import into another app.

Its a chicken and egg scenario with Yosemite and Aperture. You just hit the “update” button and finally gave in to installing Mac OS X 10.10, Yosemite on your Mac.

Aperture 3.5

Its only upon completion you realise that the last version of Aperture was 3.4.5 and now it does not work with Yosemite….

Here’s how to make it Yosemite friendly.

What needs to be done is to update Aperture from 3.4.5 to 3.6. Yes, you read right. 3.6.

No, you didn’t miss any updates. It just jumped a few versions ahead to 3.6.

The most common complaint is that Aperture cannot be updated once you’ve installed Yosemite. All you see is the Aperture application icon with a no entry sign painted across it and even if you launch App Store you cannot find Aperture 3.6 update anywhere.

  • Upon completion, you should now be the proud owner of Aperture 3.6!! Which is… compatible with Yosemite!!
  • Hold down the Option key and click Aperture to launch it and when prompted select your Aperture library to re-link your existing library to Aperture 3.6
