Import Pictures From Iphoto To Lightroom 2

Adobe Lightroom 2 allows photographers to edit photos from entire shoots at one time. It also allows for the inputting of metadata on a large group of photographs, which provides digital information about the photograph, including the photographer and copyright holder, camera used and date taken. If you have loaded images into iPhoto and would like to edit the images using Adobe Lightroom 2, you can quickly export your iPhoto data and then open it using Lightroom 2.


Instructions


1. Click the "Finder" icon on the dock to open a new Finder window.


2. Click your username under the places label and then click the arrow beside pictures.


3. Right-click "iPhoto Library" and then select "Show Package Contents" from the right-click context menu.


4. Right-click the folder called "Originals" from the new Finder window that appears and then select "Make Alias."

6. Open Lightroom 2 and then click "Import," located at the bottom of the Library window.


7. Choose the alias folder that you dropped on the desktop in the file browser and then click "Choose."
