[QUOTE="nickt, post: 599224, member: 4923"] I can't offer a lot of first hand experience. Back when I used elements, I didn't really organize. Just dated folders and maybe some special occasion folders, that's it. So other than file structure, I brought nothing with me to LR. The folders of course remain intact. But this article looks promising for a smooth move of tags: [URL]https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/how-to/elements-upgrade-creative-cloud-photography.html[/URL] When I got to LR, I started tagging religiously.
