How to import bridge labels in Lightroom 3.4

I have almost 500 000 images all carefully labeled in bridge.  They have color labels for: (red) second selection, (yellow), review, nothing (the labels of basic standard adobe created) custom.

After importing my entire collection in lightroom (27 hours) nothing remained of these labels.  Do this useless thing.

I can't imagine why two adobe products would not share by default like this or have I missed something obvious?

Does anyone know how to import the bridge labels in lightroom? (Keep in mind that I know nothing of lightroom so make baby steps)

Thank you

Yes, they do.

Let me make a little explanation how LR works, here:

Bridge and LR work differently, and it is important to understand this difference.

Bridge works as a file browser. Everything you put in a folder / or a road bridge will 'see' it (as long as it is tied to the image).

For example if you make a change of name for a picture file or folder in your OS, bridge has no harm to 'see' the modified file or folder.

LR works as a file browser. LR creates and works with a database called catalog. LR only "sees" an image file unless it is imported. Import means add it to the catalog. You can have any number of images on a disk / in a folder that LR doesn't "see" as long as they are not imported into LR.

This means that - in the case of a change in name of file or folder name that you do outside of LR (in bridge), for example - that LR cannot 'see' this folder / image file. LR still has this image / folder in the Catalog under its former name, and when she seeks, it can't find because the name has changed. LR flags then this file / folder as "missing". 'Missing' in this sense do not mean that the file / image is not on the disc; "missing" means that LR does not.

LR can also create, work with, and read the xmp files, also known as sidecar files. The XMP files are small files that contain some mnetadata, such as the camera settings, date & time, title, legend, etc. - but also to develop / modify metadata. When you use Camera Raw in Bridge and change the image, deck writes data in the xmp file. In addition, things like the star ratings and color labels are written to the xmp file.

These in LR, you will need to make LR read the xmp file. For this in the library Module will > metadata > read metadata from file.

But be careful here. When LR reads data from file which also means that everything that done you in LR (and have not saved in xmp), will be replaced when there is a conflict. For example, if you editing image in Bridge and end you image editing in LR (on the same image) and you then select 'Read metadata from a file', your changes-LR will be will be supplanted by bridge-changes.

To resolve this problem, you must make your image only editor LR. Also, it is recommended to save your changes of LR to xmp. Do you via Ctrl / Cmd + letter "S" or > metadata > save metadata to file. If you make this bridge can read and display your changes-LR.
