Apps And Guides For Migrating From Aperture to Lightroom

In the short time since my last post about migrating from Apple Aperture to Adobe Lightroom, several new resources have emerged to make the switch even easier.

First, there is now a dedicated app called Aperture Exporter than retains metadata like ratings and comments, project hierarchies, and image settings and adjustments. It’s available on the app store for $14.99.

Also, Adobe has published a detailed guide to migrating as well, with an upcoming migration tool to be released soon.

While switching from one editing application to another is never an easy thing to do, I think it’s great that these resources are appearing and providing real options for making a switch without going crazy. And if any of you are having a difficult time with Lightroom, I’m always happy to help.
