Osxphotos export /path/to/export -sidecar xmp \ As noted in this comment, you can use it to export images from Photos with the relevant export keywords by running this command in the Terminal: For more recent versions of macOS, look at Rhet Turnbull’s osxphotos. Update Note that this script doesn’t work for Catalina or Big Sur. Obviously, I didn’t do this by hand as it would take ages and be prone to error, so I wrote a script to do it for me! (I added “ PhotosExport>” so that these keywords are easy to identify.) For example, the Published album in the screenshot above lives in the Conferences & Meetups -> 2008 -> 2008-11 PHPNW08 folder hierarchy, so each photo within it, such as the one of Johanna and Mike, needs a keyword of “ PhotosExport>Conferences & Meetups>2008>2008-11 PHPNW08>Published”. My organisational structure in Photos looks something like this:įor each picture in an album, I chose to create a keyword that included the folders that that album was in using the “ >” symbol as a separator. The way that my photos are organised into folders and albums within Photos is stored in a database and as Lightroom Classic doesn’t have an “Import from Apple Photos” function, we’ll need to find a way to store which albums a photo is stored in within the photo itself and then recreate it in Lightroom Classic later. We need to do both for a successful migration. Transferring organisational folders and albums.There are two main challenges for migrating from one photo management tool to another: In particular, the lack of virtual copies and smart collection sets make Lightroom feel like a step backwards from Photos, while Lightroom Classic feels like a step forward in everything other than cloud storage and the Memories feature. Rather confusingly, there’s also another Adobe product called Lightroom which is a new build for cloud-based storage which doesn’t (yet?) have all the features of Lightroom Classic. I recently moved over to Adobe’s Lightroom Classic from Apple’s Photos in order to have more flexible non-destructive editing features – in particular local brushes.
