Or maybe i should just create my own file structure for photos on my hard drive and not let a program manage my library, but that seems like too much work. I guess i can open up the iPhoto Library "ball" and drag the originals folder out into something new. I'm assuming any tagging and possibly edits will be lost. I want some place to store and manage everything. I'm tired of the disparate photo libraries that i have now.

I now have a Macbook Pro running the latest Mac OS, so i don't know if i can even leave my older photos in iPhoto. So i don't think Lightroom is my answer, at least not for now. And now, it looks like Adobe is pulling a major one on photographers with the CC and CC Classic crap. It's okay, but i don't care for the Library/management functions. So i left my iPhot and Aperture libraries alone and reluctantly began using Lightroom. i never upgraded my iPhoto Library to Photos because i heard lots of stories of people having all kinds of trouble. So i was not happy when Apple decided not to support it anymore.

I absolutely loved Aperture and had gotten up to speed on how to use it. Im a hobbyist, but did start getting more serious and shoot in Raw, which is why i moved to Aperture. Everything is backed up online and to an external, so good to go.Īt any rate, most of my photos are in iPhoto. It still worked fine for Lightroom, up until recently when the hard drive died. I have a 2007 iMac (First generation aluminum). There is an Aperture to Lightroom workflow or plug-in.

After that I would do trial runs with small batches of images in both trial versions of Lightroom Classic CC (which is bundled with Photoshop CC) and with Photos. I would try first upgrading your OS if your hardware supports it. I'm guessing that I will probably lose the edits and tagging that I have done. Lightroom may be your best solution but that will depend on whether you can work with the Adobe's subscription model. Question is, what program should I move them all to, and how do i do it? I also have a good amount of photos in Aperture, and some still in Lightroom. So I never transitioned from iPhoto to the Photos app. Why not? Does your current hardware not support Sierra or High Sierra? I never upgraded beyond El Capitan i think, have you considered goign through them and culling before you migrate systems and software? Currently I have over 10,000 photos in iPhoto. I could use some help with my photo collections. I'm not sure some current stuff will work well on very old hardware or systems.
Tell us what hardware you use, whether you do raw and what your normal workflow is, and what system you are on now. If you want specific suggestions, more details about how you wanna manage your images, share them, adjust them and what you've done with what you already have might help folks give more targeted advice, otherwise it just becomes lots of us jabbering about what we like best for ourselves. There are a million threads here about the relative merits of Lr, Photos and other alternatives. Question is, what program should I move them all to, and how do i do it? I'm guessing that I will probably lose the edits and tagging that I have done. I never upgraded beyond El Capitan i think, so I never transitioned from iPhoto to the Photos app.
