How do I migrate my Lightroom 3 catalog to Lightroom 4?

What's the best way to bring my 10k of photos in Lightroom 3 into Lightroom 4?  It would really not be cool to lose my edits.

As Dorin says just ope any LR3 catalog with Lr4 and it will be "upgraded" leaving the old one intact. You may want to rename the new one and the associated preview file for convenience.

  • How do I migrate a vs5 catalog to vs9 catalog?

    This has been a comedy of errors. Received a new computer for Christmas with version 9 Elements loaded on it. My new computer has a new directory for photos than my old computer. Tried to migrate my version 5 catalog to the new computer and was thinking I could just reconnect my files, but when I did that they all show up as offline. Bring up properties and they show the old directory path from my old computer. Reconnecting did not work and re-indexing also did not fix the problem. Help!!!! I have of 6000 or more pictures that I will have to re-tag.
    Also, how can I change the properties so that I can see the ribbon bar? The little arrow drop-down sucks.
    Thanks,
    Jeanne

    Use back up & restore to move your catalog.

    The missing ribbon is probably due dpi scaling.
    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    ’t.
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu won
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%.

  • How do I migrate photos from iPhoto into Lightroom 5?

    Okay. I've got all my photos organised in iPhoto, but I've seen the writing on the wall about Apple discontinuing iPhoto.
    So I've taken out a subscription for Creative Cloud 2014 including Photoshop & Lightroom 5.
    My question is:- How do I migrate all my photos including organising them into Events / Collections from iPhoto to Lightroom 5?
    I've seen a tutorial that recommended downloading a free trial of Photoshop Elements 12 to use that as a sort of 'missing link' between the two apps, but it didn't work in that it didn't keep my photos organised in Events / Collections. I just ended up with a load of esoterically generically named folders which made no sense.
    Surely there must be a way, shouldn't there?

    Have you tried some of the online articles?
    e.g. http://lightroomsolutions.com/articles/migrating-from-aperture-to-lightroom-where-do-i-beg in/

  • 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.

  • How do I get my Lightroom 4 collections back?

    I recently upgraded my computer, and dropped the mechanical drive.  I had to reload my photo files, from a backup sent me from carbonite. I also upgraded to Lightroom 5.  How do I reinstall my lightroom 4 collections which also included the Smugmug  plug in?

    You need to find a backup of your Lightroom 4 catalog file, and use that (probably by double-clicking on it).

  • How to start over in lightroom?

    I really have never learned how to maximize this program and normally use Adobe Bridge and Photoshop for my workflow.  I have imported over 100,000 photos in lightroom over time.  I would like to know how to wipe the slate clean so I can start over.  I am planning on taking some work flow courses online so I can learn how to use this program better and hopefully streamline my work flow.  So, how do I clear out all photos that have been imported?

    No, you don't want a new catalog each time you import.
    May I suggest:

    You can buy a serial-number-licensed LR5 (not LR6 which should be available shortly) from the Products link at the bottom of every Adobe.com page:

  • How do I delete permanently fotos from catalogs?

    When I use "x" to flag fotos in library mode and then "cmd del" and "remove fm disk" to get rid of fotos from a disk and a catalog, initially they do disappear.  Later after backing up the catalog the fotos reappear in the listings/grid mode of the catalog with "?" denoting unknown location.  How do I get the fotos to delete and then not reappear in the catalog.  We are talking thousands of images.

    I have selected the option to query me each time I open and close LR3.  I
    simply hit the tab that appears "Backup" or if time is short "skip this
    time"
