Plug-in for importing the library of Photos of OSX to Lightroom?

Hi all, I upgraded a library iPhotos to the new Photos app when it first came out. Since I am aware that Lightroom had a 'Import iPhoto' plugin, I always thought a 'Import of Photos' plugin would be available. But from my research on the Internet, it seems that Adobe has not developed a. My problem is that I have spent a lot of time to organize my photos into albums in the new library of Photos app, and I can't afford to redo all this back in Lightroom. These aren't simple stereotypes that can be simply rearranged by date - they are images of a multi-year research project and have 36 000 photographs relating to very specific categories of information. Given that many photos appear on several albums, it is not as easy as the export of each album as a group to, and then import them into Lightroom to keep separated/grouped.

I would be grateful for any help on how to import my library of Photos in Lightroom (CC or other) while keeping the organization from the album - the knowledge to see if Adobe (or a third-party developer?) has plans to make a plug-in similar to the one they had for iPhotos. Essentially, the current limitation means that I cannot become a permanent user of Lightroom and will to always be attached to my Photos app.

PS - open my photo library in iPhoto does not work either - it shows that the albums I've done until I upgraded to Photos, not worth year-end additional organization I've done since. I was surprised by that, because I was hoping it would be a miracle solution (i.e. opening of new photo library in iPhoto, then using "Import from iPhoto" Lightroom plugin).

You should be able to export versions of Photos with IPTC metadata. Export to the desktop or even better, in a folder on a regular basis using the Finder. Import duplicates in Lightroom and you should be able to quickly use keywords to make collections if you add temporary words prior to export.

  • import the library of photos of Yosemite to El Capitan

    I'm doing a fresh installation of the El Capitan after I made backup of operating system existing Yosemite on external drive, so I need to import the library of Photos of Yosemite El Capitan.

    How can I do? Suggestions please?

    New facility means fade and clean install? If you have a backup or Yosemite is located on the external hard drive, then go in the user folder/photos Yosemite and restore the iPhoto for the El Capitan record/photos user library. Open iPhoto (or Photos), then set the location of the user folder/photo library.

  • can I save a copy of the library of Photos on a hard drive that is formatted for PC?

    I've seen several references to the requirement that a hard drive be formatted to Mac OS... but here's my situation... I back up my everyday Mac files and folders (with commands simple copy/paste) on a 2 TB disk that has been formatted for a pc. It seems to work fine for me.

    MY QUESTION - can I copy the photo library (mine is now 15G) of this same drive (even once... it is NOT formatted in OS) to provide care? Yes, I'm not going to try to "open" here but I can copy it on the Mac and do work properly. im just trying to be able to recover from a crash of my Mac.  If my Mac crashed, I won't be able to backup the library of Photos of this PC drive formatted to my new Mac, and then open it as usual.

    extra credit question: what exactly is a "library" file I see that it shows with another icon in the finder, compared to a folder or a file.  im guessing that it is some kind of package that has the hierarchy within this user every day didn't need to dive in...? but in the context of my Q... can I copy this library (from 1 location 2 location) as if it was a garden variety file?

    1. no outside a Mac OS Extended format disk image. Note that if the drive is formatted FAT32, the file size of the image must be less than 4 GB.

    2. Yes, it is.

  • Move the library of photos from applications to the images folder

    I recently used the import in photos app option to import my photos images folder in the photos app.

    I deleted all the images in the images folder and discovered later, the photos app choose to save the photo library in applications (?). Why, I don't know.

    Reading on the default location of the photo apps, I learned that the photo library must be in images (not in applications)...

    For the life of it, I can't move the photos to the pictures library. I can't choose 'copy to another location', I can't drag and drop, I can duplicate but only in again once the applications folder.

    How to get to the library of photos of my applications?

    I recently used the import in photos app option to import my photos images folder in the photos app.

    How exactly import you?

    When you launch Photos it will create the library of Photos in the pictures folder.  Are you really seeing the photo library in Applications or the Photos.app? The icons are very similar: compare file name extensions.

    The photo library looks like this - a fan of pictures.

    The Photos.app shows that the flower of the unique Rainbow and not a fan.  What you describe is typical of the Photos.app.  It is specially protected under the system and cannot be removed from the Applications folder. Any other file or folder that you copy into the applications folder can be deleted.

  • Save the library of Photos with faces

    Hello

    I had to reinstall my Mac (clean). I supported my library of Photos (with iCloud than on library) on an external drive. Then all deleted and reinstalled my system. After put my photo library and turning on iCloud, all my 4000 pictures started downloading (and duplication) iCloud even they were already there. I had to stop this, delete my backup of the library of Photos and all photos were downloaded from iCloud. It would have been nice if I lose all my face tags (I spent a lot of time with) so how can I do the next time that when reinstalling my Mac?

    Thanks for the tips.

    It do exactly what you did the first time. Make a backup of your library of photos on an external drive and copy this library back to restore.

    The pictures will download all the photos again and compare with iCloud photo library. It will not recognize the library restored as the same library it used before, but she uses a detection duplicates to prevent adding duplicates. It will take as long as the initial download.

    If you start with a library empty projects and thumbnails of faces will be lost.  (Use pictures and iCloud library on several Macs - Apple Support)  But the restored Library searchable faces tags. You can still search the faces you assigned previously and use to recreate thumbnails of faces more quickly.

    But wait, face detection was performed on the photos downloaded from iCloud photo library.

  • I can't find the library of Photos to import into Lightroom 6 apples.

    In the sources of importation on LR6, there no pictures option to select.  I had the opening, then imported this photo library a few weeks back.  Hated the photo and now wants to use LR6.  But no Photos available for import library... Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can export your photos from the Photos app. There is a point under file - export - export original unmodified. After that you can import them from the file system in LR.

  • How to get videos from the library of Photos to iMovie?

    I have scoured the internet to find answers, but came up empty.  I started a new project and was able to access the videos I have in my library of photos and drag them all right in my project.  The process of video editing coming along the wonder.  But when I got back to my project, I couldn't find any way to access the videos in Photos.  I have no idea where the ability to access the Photos went.  I'm still relatively new to iMovie and Mac in general.  I have iMovie version 10.1.  I tried to do the things suggested by others.  I checked to see if the photo library is the system and it is.  I created a new album for videos in the Photos.  I restarted my computer and iMovie.  Still, I can't find a way to get my videos in iMovie.  The only thing I could think to do would then copy all of the videos on my desk and import one by one but I have a lot of sequences and import has been so slow that it was no progress at all.

    If you keep the same structure of folders and files for the images it was, everything will work perfectly.

    In fact, it is not so important when you put the catalog or images as long as you keep the structure of folder images even. If you change the absolute path to her allows images LR you remap him path and if the structure is still the same you only must remap the file in the foreground and the computer will find the rest...
