How did your migration to Adobe Lightroom go?

Now that Apple is dropping support of Aperture, have any of you migrated to Adobe's Lightroom?  If so, how did the migration go?  How do you like Lightroom compared to Aperture?

I've run several tests.  Some folks have problems:
importing non-supported files  (No surprise) 
GPS data not coming across.  No known solution to this problem.
Not been able to begin the import (import button grayed out).  These users have ended up exporting their library into pieces, and importing each piece until they find the offending image.
I've found three other issues.  All are more difficult to diagnose, because it involves comparing Aperture and Lightroom libraries directly.  If you are particular about retaining all your data from Aperture, you should double-check yourselves.
Lightroom: Aperture plugin does not keyword correctly on Aperture previews. Related to face keywording?
Lightroom: Aperture plugin v1.1 does not not create all face keywords for raw files
Lightroom: Aperture plug-in does not copy all previews
This last one is a particular problem, because the preview is the only reference you'll have in lightroom for the edits you have made.
If you have the same issues, vote on them so they get more visibility.  Think most of the attention now is going to failures causing the importer to halt.

  • No IPTC caption on import!- How did you migrate xl-library to Aperture?

    Folks,
    How can you possibly migrate a 100.000 plus image library into Aperture without having to completely redo the IPTC captions after import?
    I find my images mainly by IPTC searches (so far iView pro) which to me represent years of captioning work.
    Now that 1.5 has finally given us more control to reference our library I started to get excited again about Aperture, but IPTC only on export is not enough IMO.
    How did you manage to ideal having DAM and Raw processor in one app?

    Thx Jeremy,
    did you get hold of a copy of Adam's new version that
    covers iView 3.1 and Aperture 1.5 or did you use
    their older version?
    Could you in any way keep the organixational
    structure of iView's "Category Sets" when you
    exported all your stuff into Aperture?
    best regards,
    grischa
    Hi again. To explain better what I meant - I didn't use Annoture, I just used the function in iView itself whereby you can "synch" the metadata that you add in iView back to the file itself, so it is stored within the image file. Then when you import that image file into Aperture, the information is correctly read.
    There is one problem - iView uses some fields that (I think) are not read by Aperture (Location, maybe ??) or that are not used correctly (iView stores "People" in the "Contact" field for example) However, there is also a script in iView that allows you to copy metadata items from place to place, so you could copy the iView Location field to Keywords, so that it is seen by Aperture when you import it.
    Hope that makes sense!!
    regards,
    Jeremy

  • HOW TO: Your very own Adobe Update Server (Windows)

    Well, I thought I'd contribute something after wasting time sifting through info on how to get this done. It's not a hard process at all, once the steps get organized correctly.
    If you are reading this post, you most likely have already seen:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/update-server-setup-tool.html
    Maybe you’ve seen the dry (read: hard to stay awake and boring) video Adobe has posted as well and yet here we are… I found the materials Adobe provided informative yet riddled with inconsistencies and scatter brained writing. This guide will get you to a working install with minimal pain and effort. I’m sure plenty of you have Mac’s that you’d like to get running as an update server. Good luck, we’re a pc shop and that’s what this guide is going to be on. You can still update Mac’s with a windows based server. Mac users that want to setup an update server on a Mac will have to try and endure that video.
    I like complaining about things, so if you want the relevant info, I bolded it. If you need to change the command to fit your system, I highlighted the relevant section in red. You’re welcome.
    Requirements:
    Windows Operating System 64-bit (just so the file structure makes sense, if you are running 32-bit, that’s fine, but you’ll need to make the necessary changes to my write-up.)
    The requirements for CPU, Memory, and hard-drive free space are minimal (My freshly sync’d update directory is only 30.2GB). I’m going to lean on the safe side and say leave a few hundred gigs free on the hard-drive. All you are doing is making a file store that can be accessed via http from your clients. Any modern day computer can be your host. Have hundreds of client computer that will be downloading from your update server? That’s up to you on how you will want to handle it. Do DNS load balancing across multiple update servers, deploy different override files to different groups of clients that point those groups of clients to different servers, or use sas drives and team multiple gigabit Ethernet ports. I’m sure you’ll figure something out to handle your particular situation. I am just going to focus on a simple step-by-step to get you on your way.
    Step 1: Install Creative Cloud Packager
    This was the first thing that wasn’t clear to me. I’m new to Creative Cloud for Teams. I have 20 computers and knew that updating would be an issue with our internet connection. I intuitively searched for a way to set up an update server and came across the article linked earlier. “Note: AUSST is available in the utilities folder of Adobe® Creative Cloud™ Packager installation.“ Oh, that’s nice. No link. No help on where to get it…
    You can grab the download from your “Manage Your Team” control panel. It’s on the right side under “IT Deployment”. Download it, install it. This how-to isn’t about packages and how awesome they are for deployment or how to use them. So close the packager when you are done installing and move on to step 2.
    Step 2: Create a root directory to store all of your updates.
    I think it’s safe to assume that the root directory will only grow in size over time, so put it somewhere with a few hundred gigs of free space. The cloud is still young but I expect that amount to last you a while. To keep this easy, I created my directory as such:  G:/CreativeCloudUpdate
    Step 3: Run the AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool for the initial sync
    Open up command prompt as an administrator and type the following:
    cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\AUSST"
    AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate" --fresh
    When it is done updating, leave the command prompt up, you’ll need it again.
    Step 4: Create the client config file
    For whatever reason, the AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool can’t create a config folder. So you’ll have to make it yourself if you want this to work.
    Go to G:/CreativeCloudUpdate and create a folder called   config
    Head back over to the command prompt and type the following:
    AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --genclientconf="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/config/AdobeUpdaterClient" --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/" --url=http://192.168.1.4/
    If this worked, you should get something like the following:
    “Generate Client Configuration XML chosen.
    Files generated at specified path.”
    Double check to make sure the files are generated inside the G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/config directory.
    Step 5: Setup the Web Server
    We’ll use Apache 2.2 for this setup. Yes, I am aware 2.4 is out, and 64-bit is available and that there are different web servers and and and. If you want to set something else up, go for it, be my guest, but you won’t find compile or update directions here. Also, if you want to use IIS, again, go for it. I didn’t find anything wrong with the directions in the very first link in this post. Remember, this guide is simplicity focused. I expect you to know how to keep your own network up to date.
    ALLOW PORT 80 THROUGH WINDOWS FIREWALL OR ANY OTHER FIREWALL SOFTWARE YOU ARE RUNNING ON THE SERVER!
    Download and install the following:
    http://mirror.metrocast.net/apache//httpd/binaries/win32/httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
    You can keep all of the defaults during install.
    Once installed, you’ll have a little feather and play button in your system tray. Double click on that to bring up the server monitor. STOP the process.
    Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf
    Open up httpd in a text editor like notepad, you’ve got a little editing to do. Do a search and replace. You’ll want to find EVERY OCCURANCE of the following sentence:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
    And replace it with the following sentence:
    G:/CreativeCloudUpdate
    Save the file. Go back to the Apache server monitor and start the process.
    Step 6: Setup the Clients
    The file is located here: G:\CreativeCloudUpdate\config\AdobeUpdaterClient\win
    And here: http://192.168.1.4/config/AdobeUpdaterClient/win
    It is called: AdobeUpdater.OVERRIDES
    And it needs to end up here on the client computers:
    In Windows XP:
    \Documents and Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\AdobeUpdater.Overrides
    In Windows 7/Vista:
    \ProgramData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\AdobeUpdater.Overrides
    In Mac OS X:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0/AdobeUpdater.Overrides
    It is your choice concerning how to get the overrides file onto the client computer. THE BEST WAY is to include it in the package you deploy from the Creative Cloud Packager(not covered in this guide). If you already have Creative Cloud installed and want to start updating via the server you just setup: You could use group policy to deploy the file. If you only have a handful of computers, you could put it on by hand. You could script it. You could email it to all your users and tell them to place the file. Pick whatever you feel will work best for you in your environment.
    IF you are just deploying the Creative Cloud in your environment and were smart enough to think ahead and setup the update server FIRST. Look up (If you have to, it’s really intuitive) how to use the package manager and make sure to change the package configuration to use this overrides file.
    Step 7: Check for and download updated files to your update server
    To manually do this, open up command prompt as an administrator and type the following:
    cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\AUSST"
    AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate" --incremental
    To do this automatically you need to make a scheduled task to run the command above. The only issue I have run into is the task does not seem to run unless you are logged into the server. If no-one is logged in, the task triggers, but an update never happens.
    All in all, I am happy that there was a way to do this. I AM NOT HAPPY that Adobe made it an after thought. A system service would have been a very elegant solution or you know, a simple custom server app that does everything in this guide for you AND makes it easy to run the incremental updater on a schedule. But noooooo, they couldn’t be bothered to do that, I mean really, who wants their own update server anyways…

    Hi,
    in relation to on to the above could you please share some thoughts on using AUSST in an enterprise environment spread over 50 countries i relation how to setup the AUSST, taking WAN Lines into considerations. We are using SCCM for application deployment and patching. Is there a comparising model for AUSST vs. SCCM?
    i Get the picture using AUSST in a company with one huge Building using the LAN capacity, but what technologies are used to replicate over WAN etc?

  • How do I import my Adobe Lightroom photos to Apple Photos?

    trying to import photos from Lightroom 5 into Apple Photos...any tips?

    You would go to the folders where your master photos are and import those into Photos.
    There's no "import from Lightroom" to speak of. Your metadata may come across if you're using XMP sidecars, but adjustments won't.

  • I have a numbers sheet which suddenly turned up as a thumbnails.jpeg which I can see is a spreadsheet but too tiny to view. How can I open it in its original size and how did this migrate to a firefox doc app?

    I have a MAC OSX10.6.8. I use Apple's numbers program to do spreadsheets.
    I have a spreadsheet which I have worked on intermittently for 3 years. The last time I closed it in Sept 2011. it was ok. When I reopened it again in Nov it had become a "Thumbnail.jpeg (240x310 pixels.) " I can see that it is the spreadsheet, but I can not enlarge it so that it is useful. It is just a blurred image. I have no idea how this happened. When I click on it, firefox opens so I believe that it is a Firefox app.
    Info from Firefox:
    Render mode: Quirks mode
    Encoding: ISO-8859-1

  • Migrating from Adobe Lightroom to Aperture

    What is the best way to do this and maintain keywords, settings, etc.. I have imported folders as projects from my Lightroom library, but I'm not sure that I got exposure corrections this way. I think that I just got the original Raw files.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Aperture can't currently read sidecar files, even though it can generate them.
    But that would still only bring across keywords and metadata, not any of the image adjustments.
    Ian
    EDIT - if you mean exporting converted files (TIFFs or JPEGs) then everything should come across, but of course you'd be losing the advantage of lossless changes to RAW files.

    I think its a bit unfair to base your viewpoint on SegaStep's experience only. He OC'ed the living daylights out of his boards and then tried to get past the max CPU voltage limitations that were imposed by the BIOS.    see here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=170012.msg1248266#msg1248266
    My K8n Neo4 lasted 5 years before lightning destroyed it.
    My P45 Platinum was burgled after around 3 years.
    My Z68 board with a 2600K oced to 4,5GHz has been going on 4 years now and my nephew is using it.
    My Z77 with a 3770K Oce'd to 4,5GHz on 3 years now.

  • Extracting JPEG files from Adobe Lightroom previews

    I need to figure out how to extract previews from Adobe Lightroom as JPEG files.  I am trying to develop an external app that will read Lightroom's plugins - I need to do it in either C++, C# or Java.  So far all examples I found were in Lua.  Any help/code examples would be greatly appreciated.

    I think he is looking for C/Java code, not a script/plugin.
    In any case, anybody looking to recover previews should be aware that most plugins or external apps DO NOT assign a proper ICC profile to the extracted previews. The extracted previews are *usually*, meaning NOT ALWAYS AdobeRGB, but untagged: will be interpreted as sRGB. Yeah, that's why they will look different than the original.
    I don't know about JF's plugin.
    (Adobe's recovery script does NOT handle ICC profiles correctly).
    PreviewExporter is the only plugin I know of that handles ICC profiles properly - if anybody knows how JF's plugin handles ICC profiles - do tell.
    Note: PreviewExporter includes source code - it should be straight-forward to translate to C/Java.

    How do I migrate my old Send Now list of sent files to Adobe Send?

    Bob...I understand and appreciate what you are doing by suggesting that it is our (consumer) fault that we are not ready for this and that we got e-mails.  However, in the busy office, I didn't have time nor the "want to" to start the process of switching over.  I don't understand why you had to make it so hard on the consumer and why not just add what services you have added or updated, or whatever you did, to send now.  Another aspect of the "new and improved" (which is never improved) is that now I have to type in the addresses whereas in adobe send, we could type in one letter and the addresses that started with that letter all came up and we could choose the one we wanted.  This may not be big to you, but is to me and I can imagine a few more people.  I'm sorry that I have not embraced this change with open arms.  Now I have to decide whether to stay with it or not.  Thank you for your reply. 

  • How can I migrate Adobe digital edition and its library from an old computer to a new one?

    How can I migrate Adobe digital edition and its library from an old computer to a new one?

    Pertains to a Windows machine..
    Definitely get other opinions on this. I last did this myself in 2010.
    The most important thing, is to make sure you have an account (which I think you must have, or you probably couldn't have posted here).
    As I recall, I downloaded ADE to my new computer, launched the software, authorized the new computer by supplying my login, and then just moved the 'My Digital Editions' folder to the new machine.
    Be sure to de-authorize your old machine after you have done all of this, or over time you could end up exceeding your 'simultaneous devices'-limit for accessing your materials. I suspect that *from within the app itself, while it is still installed on your old machine* may be your only opportunity to do this. It is certainly the best/easiest.
    Hey Internet! Have you done this more recently than I? If so, please chime in to make corrections or add detail.
